The Path Is Yours

Main

Prologue

Xander: Corrin! Quickly, come join us! Your family has come to take you home where you belong.

Ryoma: Don't be fooled by their words. You belong with your true family in Hoshido!

Xander: Come home, little prince. We can live as a family once more!

Ryoma: Corrin!

Xander: Corrin!

Corrin (M): I... I won't betray anyone. I'm sure a peaceful solution exists. If we could just--

Xander: I've heard enough! Corrin, as your older brother, it is my duty to teach you the truth...

Ryoma: Corrin is finally back with his family--I will not let you take him again!

Corrin (M): It's no use! They just won't listen to me... I'll have to step in if I want to stop them!

Recruiting Sakura

(Start)

Sakura: B-Brother! Did you come to fight me?

Corrin (M): No, Sakura. I came to ask you... to please choose to fight alongside me!

(End)

Sakura: I've seen your dedication, Big Brother! Please...take me with you! I-I'm sure I can find a way to help!

Recruting Takumi

(Start)

Takumi: From the moment we met, I suspected you couldn't be trusted.

Corrin (M): Takumi... I understand--I'm sorry. But please... I want to fight beside you!

(End)

Takumi: Fine, I'll fight by your side. ...You have my support.

Recruiting Hinoka

(Start)

Hinoka: Corrin! This is all a ruse, right? We're family. You can't turn your back on your family!

Corrin (M): You're right, Hinoka--I can't. That's why I want you to fight by my side.

(End)

Hinoka: All right, I will fight alongside you. I want to stay by your side until the very end, no matter what path you choose!

Recruiting Ryoma

(Start)

Ryoma: Corrin... Are you sure you won't return with us to Hoshido? You risk getting yourself killed by taking this neutral position.

Corrin (M): Ryoma, I've made my choice--and I want you to fight by my side!

Ryoma: It will take more than words for me to change sides!

(End)

Ryoma: Heh. Once you've made up your mind, there's no stopping you, is there? Very well... I believe in you, and I will fight in your name.

Corrin (M): Thank you, Ryoma!

Recruiting Elise

(Start)

Elise: Why do we have to fight each other?

Corrin (M): I'm so sorry, Elise... But I need you to come with me.

(End)

Elise: I know that you didn't betray us, Corrin... So...I'll come with you and fight! I'm here to help you, Corrin!

Recruiting Leo

(Start)

Leo: I can't believe you're this cruel.

Corrin (M): Leo... I'd like you to come with me... To fight alongside me!

(End)

Leo: ...I will fight by your side. Your heart is true.

Recruiting Camilla

(Start)

Camilla: Ah, Corrin...This must be a misunderstanding. Why won't you come home with us?

Corrin (M): I'm sorry, Camilla... But I haven't changed. Please believe me!

(End)

Camilla: You're right, you're just like you used to be... You're the same kind, cute Corrin!

Recruiting Xander

(Start)

Xander: I will still forgive you if you repent now and return with us to Nohr.

Corrin (M): I've made my decision. I want you to join me and fight by my side.

Xander: I see... Then you leave me no choice but to take you back by force.

(End)

Xander: So you feel this strongly... I understand now. We fight together, Corrin. I'm sorry it took us this long to join you...

Epilogue

Corrin (M): I can't do it alone. I'll need your help, everyone!

Xander: I trust you. I trust that you'll remain true to your goal for a lasting peace.

Ryoma: Then I propose a truce between our kingdoms. You and I are similar, Xander. For the sake of our brother... For the sake of the world... Let us be allies in this.

Xander: I accept your proposal, Prince Ryoma. I hope that we can achieve a peaceful world.

Corrin (M): Thank you all. It means more than I can say for everyone to trust me.

Caeda's Inquiry

(Part 1)

Caeda: Hello.

Anna: Ack! Where did that...? Oh! You aren't here to steal my treasure, are you?

Caeda: Uhh, no. My name is Caeda.

(Part 2)

Caeda: Tell me: Do you believe in love? Are you in love with anyone?

Anna: Like a person? No... But I am madly in love with money! Deeply, madly in love!

(End)

Caeda: Heehee... I'm sorry if I startled you! You just seemed so interesting. I wanted to try and have a chat with you. Turns out you're just who I thought! I'm glad we got to talk. Let's do it again soon!

Anna: She seems nice. Definitely nicer than anyone where I'm from.

Freddy Bear

(Part 1)

Lianna: Frederick! I have something for you from Robin.

Frederick: From Robin? What could it be? I've got a strange feeling...

(Part 2)

Rowan: Hey there, Freddy Bear! I've got some new cured meats for you to try!

Frederick: I'd ask you to please not refer to me by that absolutely ridiculous name.

Lianna: All right, but only if you eat all of these meats...er, after we fight this enemy!

(End)

Rowan: OK, that's the last of the enemies. Now go on and try a bite!

Frederick: *munch* *munch*

Lianna: Oh! I can't believe you really ate it. It's amazing that you can stomach bear.

Frederick: PFFFFFFFT! Augh! By the gods! I-I'm dying! Dying!

Pitiful Bandits

(Part 1)

Bandit: Heh heh heh! These merchants fell right into our trap!

Anna: Uh-oh... We better get out of here! PROTECT THE MERCHANDISE!

(Part 2)

Corrin (M): Poor Anna. Why can't those guys just do an honest day's work...

Bandit: We can't take being poor anymore! Hurry up and hand over the goods!

(End)

Bandit: I'm sorry! Please! I promise I'll work an honest job from now on!

Corrin (M): Ah, so you finally get it. I'm glad.

Bandit: I-I do! I'll become an honest leader of a noble gang of thugs!

Lesson in Love

(Part 1)

Camilla: Oh, hello, Cordelia. What is that you've got in your hands?

Cordelia: Lady Camilla! Um... It's a book...called Make Him Fall for You in a Fortnight... Do you think it strange that I resort to a book like this for advice?

Camilla: Hardly. It's normal to rely on the wisdom of others. We should talk about it later.

(Part 2)

Cordelia: Oh, love of my live. If only our fated day would arri--

Camilla: Cordelia? What are you talking about?

(End)

Cordelia: "Your eyes sparkle like the stars... Oh, I cannot go on living without you..."

Camilla: Was there something stange in your breakfast this morning?

Cordelia: No, I was just reading aloud... Hrm, this kind of talk just doesn't suit me, does it?

The Dark Pontifex

Main

Prologue

Marth: The Temple of Thabes... He's here...somewhere...

Gharnef Makes an Entrance

Gharnef: Heh heh heh... Come to play, little Marth?

Marth: Play?! Is this a game to you, Gharnef?

Gharnef: You're about to do me one last favor... Die, Prince. Heh heh heh!

Fighting the Shadows

Caeda: Marth! Several sorcerers have been sighted throughout the temple! They... they all seem to be Gharnef!

Gharnef: The only way you'll claim Falchion is by defeating the real me. Heh heh heh! But you won't defeat my dark magic, Imhullu. And if you mean to harm me, first you'll have to find me, boy.

Marth: I won't let you get away with this!

Leo: Only Starlight can break through Imhullu's shadowy protection...

Robin (M): But to cast it, you need two orbs: the Lightsphere and the Starsphere.

Leo: Yes. Bring me the Lightsphere and the Starsphere, and I'll create Starlight.

Gharnef: Keep trying, fool! Fight, boy, fight! Wear yourself thin fighting puppets and shadows!

A Long-Forgotten Apparatus

Caeda: But remember, Thabes is an old city... Within its walls remain many a powerful apparatus of long-forgotten magic. Gharnef is likely harnessing their power, and that's why he wields such influence over the continent.

Marth: And he has Imhullu as well... This will be a struggle. Gharnef's reign must end. The world was so much more beautiful before he painted it red...

Pinpointing the Apparatus

Caeda: Sire, we've pinpointed the apparatus that gives Gharnef his power---the Tower of Thabes atop this very temple!

Marth: Then let's hurry and seize the entrance to the tower!

An Exercise in Obstruction

Marth: Caeda! Quickly! Find each apparatus and shut it down!

Caeda: At once, Marth!

Gharnef's Astonishment

Gharnef: Blast! How did they find the apparatus? Still, such cheap tricks are nothing to me!

Tiki's Arrival

Gharnef: Tiki! Can you hear my voice?

Tiki: ...Mm-hmm.

Robin (M): Tiki?! How...?

Gharnef: Thieves have come for this holy stone! Punish them! Let your fire consume them!

Tiki: Thieves...have come... Punish them...

Gharnef: I alone am protecting you. Remember...

Tiki: You alone...are protecting me... Punish...the thieves...

Robin (M): Tiki! Can't you hear me?! We have to save her!

Not the Dragon You Know

(Start)

Robin (M): Tiki! Thank the gods! At last, we have found you!

Tiki: No... Stop... Come no closer...

(End)

Robin (M): Gharnef has put you in some sort of trance, poor thing. Peace, child, peace... Awaken.

Tiki: Robin? Is that you? I feel as though I just woke from an awful nightmare...

Robin (M): I am truly sorry, Tiki. Truly, I am. I will not let us be separated again. From now on, I will be there to protect you.

Tiki: Promise? You have to promise, Robin. Stay by my side and...protect me. And I'll give these two gemstones to you. Maybe we can beat Gharnef after all...

Both Orbs in Hand

Marth: Thank you. We need to take these to Prince Leo to undo Imhullu's magic...

Starlight Complete

Marth: Prince Leo, I've brought the Lightsphere and Starsphere. Is that all you need?

Leo: Yes, I can make Starlight with these. One moment... There, it is finished. Take it with you. It is the only magic capable of breaking through Imhullu. Use it to stop that fiend Gharnef once and for all.

Gharnef's Revenge

Gharnef: Cower before the might of the dark magic Imhullu!

Epilogue

Gharnef: Agh! What... Where did you get... Starlight? I shall be waiting in the pits of the inferno...for you to join me... Heh heh, ha ha ha! I will give Falchion...to you. You won't...be able to use it anyway.

Xenologues

A Princely Feud

(Part 1)

Takumi: What kind of mess have I gotten myself tangled up in...?

Leo: Prince Takumi, you're here too? I never knew you to be such a coward...

Takumi: Ugh... Every time we meet, I feel sick to my stomach. It strains my ability to show respect whenever I face your raw arrogance.

Leo: And here I thought you were the one with a problem. You should do something about that attitude of yours before scolding others.

Frederick: This is distressing--does it fall to me to hold things together?

(Part 2)

Takumi: I can't stand guys like you! Why don't we just put an end to this here and now?

Leo: At last, something we can agree on. I'll teach you the dignity of a prince.

Frederick: Perhaps now is not the best time for this. Focus your energy on our foes!

(End)

Takumi: That went well... And I have to admit, it was all thanks to you, Prince Leo.

Leo: Funny, I was just about to say the same thing about you, Prince Takumi.

Frederick: Fine work, the both of you. Now I can return to Chrom's side without worry.

Face the Magic

(Part 1)

Corrin (F): I'm getting a very sinister feeling... We have to stop Gharnef soon.

Marth: Standard attacks have no effect on him. Imhullu blocks any kind of blow. By the way, Princess Corrin... Pardon my saying it, but you have almost no defense against magical assault.

Corrin (F): Y-you're right...

Marth: You will face great danger against Gharnef. Please take the utmost care.

(Part 2)

Chrom: Let me have a go, then!

Marth: Prince Chrom, your resistance to magic is admirable... But Gharnef will be a dangerous foe for you as well. Be cautious.

(Part 3)

Gharnef: Heh heh ha ha! See the dark might of Imhullu!

(End)

Marth: You did as well as I expected, Prince Chrom. Gharnef is beaten, thanks to you.

Chrom: You're not so bad yourself, Marth. I bet there's no one we can't beat together.

Lissa vs. Xander

(Part 1)

Lissa: That's it, Xander! I refuse to let you call me "delicate" any longer.

Xander: Are you taking up arms? Good. I'll show you a fight worthy of my name!

(Part 2)

Lissa: I'll show you just how strong I am! Come on, take your best shot!

(Part 3)

Lissa: Hey! Why aren't you attacking me? Too scared?

Xander: Don't be naive. I will settle this now!

(End)

Xander: Impressive, Lissa. You have grown into a fine warrior.

Good News

(Part 1)

Robin (M): Camilla, how goes it?

Camilla: Oh, I've been doing rather well, but all this fighting has left me just drenched with sweat. I suppose the exercise will make me even stronger, though, so it's not all bad.

Robin (M): Heh. That's the spirit! Your fighting skill already has quite a reputation among the troops... I can only imagine how effective you'll be if you get even stronger!

(Part 2)

Camilla: Ah, I almost forgot, Robin. I have good news, and then I have better news.

Robin (M): What's the good news?

Camilla: I hear today's meal is one of your favorites, bear stew.

Robin (M): That is good news! It's been quite a while since I've had any. And the better news?

Camilla: In this next battle, you'll get your hands on some sort of incredible treasure.

(End)

Robin (M): Fantastic! Such a treasure can only help our cause.

Camilla: Yes... Corrin will be delighted as well...

Noble Lady of Caelin

Main

Prologue

Robin (M): Chrom! Marth! I just received word that Castle Caelin fell to an attack from Marquess Laus! We've no word on Lord Hausen or his granddaughter, the lady Lyndis.

Chrom: But there's a chance they're alive? Then we have only one choice!

Marth: Let's mount a rescue. We may still make it in time!

Lyn and Caeda Arrive At Last

Lyn: According to our scouts, the Lycian army is in Laus territory, right next door. We may be able to save them, but we'll need to contact them somehow.

Caeda: Lady Lyndis, I'll go. I can fly overhead and be there faster than anyone else.

Lyn: Caeda?! It will be terribly dangerous... You understand, don't you?

Caeda: Someone must go, and I want to repay you for saving my life.

Lyn: You've convinced me. The job's yours. But don't try anything impossible!

Caeda: But of course.

A Rendezvous with Caeda

Marth: Caeda! What are you doing here?

Caeda: Marth! It's a long story... Right now we need your strength! Lady Lyndis is beyond that forest, waiting for a chance to assault the castle.

Marth: Rest assured, Caeda--that is why we are here. Let's rendezvous with Lyndis and save Marquess Caelin!

A Rendezvous with Lyn

Lyn: Are you an ally too?

Chrom: Yeah. You're here to save the marquess? Then let's help each other.

Lyn: In that case, I have something to tell you.

Chrom: We're a bit busy now. Save it for later.

Lyn: What? Hold on! Wait just a minute!

Validar's Defeat

(Start)

Validar: Fell Dragon Grima! Look upon this!

(End)

Validar: Defeated... How disappointing...

Epilogue

(Part 1)

Lyn: Thank you. If you hadn't been here, I wouldn't have gotten this far.

Marth: Of course! Oh, and I should make introductions--Chrom?

Chrom: What is it, Marth?

Marth: This is Lyndis. She's Lord Hausen's granddaughter. Lyndis, this is Chrom. He's of royal blood... Despite his appearance.

Lyn: A royal? Him?

Chrom: Yes, I'm aware that I don't look the part.

Lyn: I was watching the way he fights... He's not like you, Marth. He relies so much on power. It's like he's never been...

Chrom: I haven't. I taught myself how to fight.

Lyn: Hm? Oh...I... My apologies. I didn't intend to seem so critical.

Marth: Granted, Chrom's style may be a tad dangerous, but... There's no one I depend on more. He doesn't let any foe get the better of him.

Chrom: Give me a break. The more you praise me, the more embarrassed I'll get.

Marth: Lyndis, once you fight alongside him, I'm sure you'll understand.

Lyn: I'm sure you're right. I apologize, Chrom. I'm honored to have your help.

Chrom: No apology necessary. I'm glad I can lend a hand.

(Part 2)

Lyn: Well, if it isn't the tactician! It's been too long. How are you these days?

Robin (M): Uh...

Lyn: Oh, my mistake. You look just like someone I know.

Robin (M): It's all right. Is this person around here somewhere?

Lyn: Good question. My friends back in Caelin and I talk about them all the time. We're always wondering where they ended up...

Robin (M): As luck would have it, I'm a tactician too. Maybe I could help you find them!

Lyn: Funny coincidence, huh? But this isn't the time for all that. I'm out to save my grandfather. You interested in helping?

Robin (M): If you need my assistance, I'd be happy to give it.

Xenologues

Two Blessings

(Part 1)

Outlaw: You! You're Lyndis, aren't you? Prepare yourself!

(Part 2)

Ryoma: We have our differences, but I won't turn my back when your life is threatened. I am Prince Ryoma of Hoshido. Perhaps I can be of some assistance here.

(End)

Lyn: Thanks, Ryoma! May Mother Earth's blessings be with you!

Ryoma: Stay safe. Believe in the path that you've chosen.

Enter a Hero

(Part 1)

Fighter: Wait right there, little lady! What are you going to do to apologize? Huh?

Sakura: Um... I... That is, I...

(Part 2)

Sakura: I...I'm sorry about this...

Lyn: Listen, she's obviously sorry. Can't we let this pass? You don't seem to be hurt.

Fighter: No chance. The girl goes with us---by force if need be!

(End)

Lyn: That's finally taken care of. You OK?

Sakura: I am... Thank you! One day I hope I'm as brave as you.

Elise and Iago

(Part 1)

Elise: Where in the world am I? Xander? Camilla? Is anyone else here?

(Part 2)

Iago: Welcome, Lady Elise. I hear you like games. Well...let's play!

Elise: With your goofy clothes and hairstyle, you're the last person I wanna play with.

Iago: You don't like my hair?!

(Part 3)

Elise: You have to admit, it is pretty funny looking.

Iago: You're going to pay for that! No one makes fun of my hair and lives!

(End)

Iago: I am strong. I am wise. I am lovely. And most importantly, I am right!

Elise: Buuuut... You lost. So, I'm pretty sure that means you're not THAT strong.

Iago: Ugh... I can't believe I lost to a wretched brat like you...

A Plain Assault

(Part 1)

Takumi: Things are starting to get rough, Lyndis. Should we pull back for now?

Lyn: No. We press onward. We don't let up until every one of them is annihilated!

Takumi: What?! Have you lost your mind? Charging ahead is the last thing we should do...

Lyn: If we don't move quickly, we may never get another chance. Trust me. I don't pick fights I cannot win.

(Part 2)

Gharnef: Well, you seem potentially useful. I'll spare you if you plead for your life. Now come over here. Bend your knee. Show me how a dog grovels.

Lyn: Sorry, I don't have time to play your twisted games. But I have just enough to give you a good thrashing!

(End)

Lyn: We can't afford to wait here much longer!

Together to the End

Main

Prologue

Soldier: The alter should be at the bottom of these stairs. Some say that once you enter, you can never leave. So, you know...be careful.

Lianna: This place is giving me goose bumps... Listen--do you hear that moaning?!

Rowan: Could be whoever's trapped down here. We need to hurry and rescue them!

A Girl in Trouble

Lianna: Do you see that? Over there! A woman's being attacked!

Celica: Agh! Why...is this happening?

Rowan: What are we standing around for? Let's go to her rescue!

Celica's Rescue

Lianna: Are you all right?!

Celica: I-I am. Thank you. But who are you? Why are you even here?

Lianna: We heard that someone was trapped down here. We came to rescue you!

Rowan: Everything's fine now. I'll beat this guy to a pulp!

Celica: Good luck with that. This enemy's been able to brush off every attack I've made. Not to mention he's covered in Mongalls. He's so heavy, he can barely move. To be honest, I've...I've pretty much given up.

Lianna: But that was before we arrived! We'll find a way to get you out of here.

Validar, the Captor

Validar: Heh heh heh. Now that you've arrived... you will not be leaving with your life. Worry not. You won't die too quickly. I value human suffering far too much. You'll die slowly. Bit...by...bit... Aware of every painful moment. The joy your suffering brings me will be truly immeasurable!

Countdown

Celica: We face a terrifying foe. There is only one way to approach this battle. Four, eight... Ugh...I can't take any more...

A Rematch

(Start)

Celica: Please... Save them, somehow, and I'll ask for nothing more.

(End)

Validar: Fools. Velezark's power will make certain you regret your actions.

Iago's Apology

Iago: Welcome, ladies. It is now time for you to die. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Another Threat

Gharnef: Come to me, my servants. Now is the time to fulfill you contract!

Staying Positive

Lianna: This isn't so hard!

A Little Enthusiasm

Rowan:' As if I'd lose to the likes of you. Bring it on!

Iago's Demise

Iago: May the power of Velezark be with us.

Good-Bye, Gharnef

Gharnef: May Velezark's protection be with us.

Confronting Darios

(Start)

Lianna: Why are you doing this, Darios?! Tell me--what are you after?

Darios: Hand over the girl. Now.

Rowan: Is something wrong in your head? We're taking her out of here! Move it!

Celica: I can't believe you two would fight for me like this... But if we want to free this man from the darkness, all three of us need to fight!

(End)

Darios: All is well. I entrust care of this world to you. Take up my mantle and rule this land. Lead its people with strength and love. And see to it that I am never disturbed from my slumber again...

(Conclusion)

Celica: Finally... He has fallen into a slumber. I'm Celica, by the way.

Lianna: Nice to meet you, Celica. So...what are you going to do now?

Celica: I don't know. Maybe I could join your party... If that's OK with you, of course! I've been alone long enough.

Rowan: Sure, you can come with us. I'll look forward to more company.

Celica: Really?! That's be great!

Epilogue

Celica: Thus does the curtain fall on the battle. What purpose did it serve? None can say. The only certainty is that someday mankind's hubris will swell again... It will stoke new flames to scorch the earth, and all will be lost. Yet that is not the most hideous aspect of this horror. What frightens me more is that this quality is unique to humanity...

Xenologues

Celica's Chaos

(Part 1)

Lissa: Impossible... This is impossible! There's no way we can beat that!

Hinoka: Damn it! What are we supposed to do? This world is done for...

Camilla: I never thought my final moments would be alongside a Hoshidan princess.

Chrom: I won't die so easily. If our time has come, I'll meet it on my feet!

Caeda: It can't be...Have we truly failed? Was it all for naught?

Celica: Don't give up! The dragon is massive, but we can win as long as we work together!

(Part 2)

Celica: We won't back down! This is my... This is our destiny! Have faith and fight! With the Seal of Flames, the Fire Emblem on our side, we fight for this world!

(End)

Celica: Is that it? Did...did we win? Well done, everyone!

Dragon Tamer

(Part 1)

Marth: We made it. All that remains is to find Velezark.

Frederick: We'll take care of those underlings. Godspeed, Lord Marth, prince of Altea...

(Part 2)

Darios: You dare disturb me while I slumber? Oh, how you will regret it as you die slowly, painfully, writhing in the fires of the inferno!

Marth: Come, my friends! We have a dragon to tame! Help me confine Velezark to the shadows for eternity and return light to the world!

(End)

Darios: Nngh... Defeated again...by humans! Know this, Altean prince--the light that surrounds you is but temporary respite. So long as the darkness in your hearts sustains me...I cannot be...DESTROYED!

Marth: It's finally over. I'm glad everyone made it through safely.

Beastly Battle

(Part 1)

Fighter: I know a royal when I see one. They don't call it a king's ransom for nothin'!

Celica: You wretched beasts! Mila, please restore their humanity...

(Part 2)

Robin (M): Celica! Good, you're all right.

Celica: Did you come to save me? I hope you didn't endanger yourself...

Robin (M): Not at all. I'm just happy to see you in one piece. Come on! Let's take care of the rest of these enemies.

(End)

Fighter: Grrrr, damn it! Beaten down so easily... Where has my luck gone?!

A Slippery Axe

(Part 1)

Lissa: OK! Time to take my favorite axe and crush some bad guys! Take THAT! ...AAAAAH! I dropped my axe!

(Part 2)

Celica: Is this golden axe the one you dropped? Or was it this silver one?

Lissa: Ummm, actually, I think my axe was made of iron...

(End)

Celica: You're an honest person. As a reward, I'll give you this Brave Axe.

Lissa: Thank you... Um, but what about my axe... Hey, wait! What in the world was that?

Corrin (M): I'll take you on, fair and square!

Robin (F): Let's try to have fun while we're at it!

(End)

Robin (F): I like those results!

Corrin (M): There's nothing to fear with your strength on our side.

Grief

Main

Prologue

(Part 1)

Camilla: Ahhhh! You're unhurt? Tell me you're OK.

Corrin (M): Camilla!! Ahhhh!

Leo: Gods! What is that?

(Part 2)

Azura: Corrin?! No... You mustn't lose hold of yourself!

Azura's Song

Azura: Corrin, my song can help. Use it for another chance to attack or take cover. Please...don't hesitate to ask me for help!

Rescuing Corrin

(Start)

Azura: You are the ocean's gray waves... ♪

Ryoma: Azura! No! Stop!

Azura: Ahh!

Sakura: No!

Azura: Kill me if you want, but...do it as yourself.

(End)

Corrin (M): I can't believe what I just did to you. It was like...I had no control over myself.

Azura: Please don't worry about it. That wasn't you. It was the blood of the ancient dragon that runs in your veins.

Corrin (M): Never mind me. What happened to all the innocent people in town? The entire town...devastated. These streets were filled just an hour ago...

Leo: This is all your fault! Camilla...countless others... It wouldn't have happened if you hadn't gone on a rampage!

Azura: Leo...

Ryoma: Enough, Prince Leo!

Leo: This is all thanks to him. He's no brother of mine.

Hinoka: Prince Leo, what are you saying? Knock it off!

Azura: Leo, please. You must listen. If you don't trust me, that's one thing. But Corrin is...

Corrin? Appears

Corrin (F): Welcome, all of you. I've been waiting.

Azura: This can't be possible. You're--!

Xander: Unbelievable! I'd heard the Chaos Dragon could control people, but...

Ryoma: For him to bring her from another world only to be his puppet... Despicable.

Corrin (F): You all must die. Velezark has declared it be so, and I will fulfill his wishes!

Fighting your Family

Corrin (F): I will not allow you to go any farther. If you try, I will kill you.

Azura: No... I won't allow that to happen. Let us pass.

Corrin (F): So you're determined to fight, no matter what? Ugh... Why is it that looking at you... gives me such an incredible headache? No matter. Killing you will make the pain go away. Prepare yourself.

Azura: I knew I might have to be the one to take you down. I'm ready for this.

Ryoma: Vengeance will be mine... Prepare to die!

Sakura: Brother, no! You have to step back! We can't afford to lose you...

Epilogue

Corrin (F): Ah, Azura... I finally...remember. Ughhh... I...I finally remember! I remember...

Azura: You can't! I just got you back. Don't go!

Corrin (F): Azura... Thank you.

Azura: ...She...disappeared... No...

Ryoma: I'm so sorry, Azura...

Xander: It can't be...

Corrin (M): I won't forgive him. Velezark will pay for doing this.

Xenologues

Here and Now

(Part 1)

Azura: I am Princess Azura of Hoshido and Nohr. I demand that both the Ylissean and Altean armies leave this kingdom!

(Part 2)

Marth: You are quite brave to jump into the middle of a battlefield all by yourself. But blindly following your orders will make this a one-sided fight. Step aside.

Azura: I am willing to do whatever it takes to end this here and now.

(End)

Caeda: Perhaps we should show her a little deference.

Marth: Agreed. We couldn't possibly attack an unarmed person.

Robin (F): What are your orders?

Chrom: Could you cast aside your weapon while surrounded by armed soldiers?

Robin (F): I don't know, Chrom... No, probably not.

Chrom: She has done something that even I would be hard-pressed to do. For that, we must show our respect.

Chrom & Azura

(Part 1)

Chrom: We know you don't want this fight. Isn't there any way for us to avoid it?

Azura: No, I'm afraid there isn't.

Chrom: Just talk to me! We can find a way!

Azura: Chrom, I see now. It all makes sense. Corrin always spoke so highly of you. You truly are a good person. A shame... It makes what I have to do that much harder. Let's put an end to this.

(Part 2)

Chrom: Why would you seek me out? I won't have mercy on my enemies. That goes for you, too!

(End)

Chrom: She's holding out longer than I expected.

Marth: Chrom! There's nothing left for us to do here. We need to retreat!

Chrom: All right. I know when I've been beaten. All units, fall back!

Azura's Wish

(Part 1)

Niles: Lady Azura, huh? It's been a long time.

Azura: Why would you do something like this? We aren't enemies...

Niles: It isn't your concern, Lady Azura. Now step aside before things get unseemly.

(Part 2)

Azura: I will do no such thing.

Niles: Would you really risk your life for Lady Corrin?

Azura: Corrin is very special to me. If I can exchange my life for hers, I'd do it gladly.

(End)

Niles: Oh? ...In that case, I wash my hands of this mess.

Azura: What?! You'll let Corrin and me go?

Niles: Yes... But what is it you're after, if you're willing to go to such lengths?

Azura: I only wish for Corrin's happiness. When Corrin smiles, then I can smile as well.

Songstress

(Part 1)

Azura: I am Princess Azura. Though I am a poor fighter, my song can aid you.

(Part 2)

Sakura: You say you can't fight, but all I can do is heal people...

Lissa: Sakura, you can demolish enemies with your bow! Meanwhile, little ol' me...

Chrom: Hmm. I seem to remember SOMEONE bragging about her axe swings...

(End)

Azura: We've won, despite my own weakness. We're lucky the enemy wasn't stronger...

Chrom: A-Azura? You took down more enemies than the rest of us. Combined.

Land of Gods

Main

Prologue

(Part 1)

Corrin (F): It's beautiful. I had no idea... So do we just...wait around until someone arrives?

Sakura: This is making me nervous...

(Part 2)

Caeda: Mmhmhm...

Corrin (F): Wow, is that the princess? She looks so...serene!

Sakura: We should ask her if she knows anything about Ryoma or Takumi.

Caeda: Welcome. You must be the princesses from Hoshido... Excellent! Allow me to introduce you to my lance!

The Princess's True Form

Sakura: Corrin, we're s-surrounded!

Corrin (F): What are you playing at, Princess Caeda? This is not funny.

Caeda: Well, we haven't even reached the punch line yet. I'm not Caeda.

Validar: Fools! I shall send you into an eternal slumber! Bwahahaha!

Hinoka Arrives

Azura: Corrin, Sakura. Thank goodness you're safe.

Sakura: I'm so glad you guys are here.

Validar: How could you have known?! My Caeda disguise was perfect!

Hinoka: A perfect princess, maybe. But take it from me---those only exist in stories!

Validar: A little too much? I'll remember that... Move in, men. Take them out!

Oboro Arrives

Niles: There are enemies everywhere... I don't know where to begin!

Oboro: You brought them with you! We've lost sight of Lord Takumi, and it's your fault! If not for that, it would just be me and Lord Takumi, relaxing in a hot spring...

Niles: Hey, innuendo is my job. Anyway, we've got some work to do.

Rendezvous with Oboro

(Start)

Oboro: You're right. We must clear away the enemy! If they've done ANYTHING to harm my master...I don't know what I'll do.

(End)

Niles: OK, OK, get ahold of yourself. Corpses are inconveniently tight-lipped.

Oboro: I'd be less bloodthirsty if you weren't here, Nohrian--but I'll leave a few alive.

Battling Validar

(Start)

Validar: Ah, I see you're ready to die. I'm going to enjoy this!

(End)

Validar: Urgh... What was I thinking...

Corrin (F): Game over, Validar. Now, tell us where you're keeping Caeda!

Validar: *cough* *cough* Urk... No...

Leo: Ah, Validar. You've embarrassed yourself for the last time. You're done here.

Corrin (F): Leo! What are you doing here?

Validar: What are you--?! GRAAAAAAAAH!

Hinoka: I've never seen such a display of power.

Niles: Lord Leo is a truly gifted dark mage. He's feared and respected in Nohr.

Epilogue

Oboro: Die, Nohrian scum!

Corrin (F): Hold! I'm with Hoshido!

Oboro: Wait...who are you? You seem familiar.

Corrin (F): I'm Corrin. And who are you?

Oboro: Oh! Lord Takumi's sister! I'm Oboro, Lord Takumi's retainer. Have...have you seen him? We can't find him anywhere!

Corrin (F): Actually, we're search-- Not to be rude, but the look on your face is terrifying.

Oboro: Oh. I apologize--when I even think of Nohrians, I just can't help myself. Even just saying the word! GRRRRRRR!

Corrin (F): Wuhh!

Oboro: But if I keep my thoughts focused on my dear Takumi, I can control myself. I'll do my best to assist you!

Corrin (F): Thank you, Oboro. Good to have you with us.

Xenologues

Unworthy

(Part 1)

Oboro: How did you end up in this fight, Prince Chrom?!

Chrom: ...Somehow I got roped into putting down an uprising in Crimea. And then I ended up with some old friends in the apostle's army...

Oboro: What?! That is hardly a reason to fight!! You're unbelievable!

Chrom: Don't worry over the details. What do you want? To fight me?

(Part 2)

Oboro: I won't lose to someone fighting for such an unworthy cause!

(End)

Chrom: Join me, Oboro.

Oboro: Easy for you to say!

Chrom: There is no justice in this war. You know that, right? Come with me, Oboro.

How You Fall

(Part 1)

Validar: Heh heh... Interesting to see how you fall. Like you're trying to catch something...

Caeda: Tsk... I can't believe this is happening. I have to do something...

(Part 2)

Oboro: Everyone, remember what we're up against!

Lissa: Ha! And they'll remember me once I've wedged my axe... Wait... My axe. Where's my axe?! I had it a second ago!

Oboro: Princess Lissa, this is no time for jokes...

Lissa: I'm serious! It's gone, but I JUST had it! It's got to be around here somewhere...

Owain: Even without a weapon, the power of my dark soul can strike at my foes. My sword hand twitches at the thought of calling on the dark power of our bond.

Oboro: Keep to the rear, then, Owain! The battle is nigh!

(End)

Lissa: Phew! Thank goodness! Everything turned out all right!

Validar: You will pay for interfering in my designs!

Oboro & Niles

(Part 1)

Oboro: It's you...

Niles: Hey. If you're going to look like that, go stare at a wall or something.

Oboro: You don't think very highly of me, do you? If I ever gave you an opening, you'd seize the chance to jab me right in it.

(Part 2)

Niles: Phew. Nothing gets by you, huh?

Oboro: I try to get along with everyone here. Even the Nohrians. But if you're going to be like that all the time, I won't bother.

Niles: And we wouldn't want that, right? Though now that I'm a little used to it... that gaze almost seems smoldering. It penetrates deep into my core, burning in a way that hurts so good...

(End)

Oboro: Quit messing around! I'm only working with you because Lord Takumi ordered it. As odious as it is, as much as I hate doing it, I have no choice. So why don't you make my life a little easier and meet me halfway?

Niles: Heh. You don't beat around the bush. I like that. Luckily for you, Lord Leo also wants we Nohrians to get along with Hoshido. So I'll play along. Excited yet?

Oboro: Ugh...stay calm... Deep breaths...

Oboro & Lissa

(Part 1)

Oboro: The tent looks so much nicer when it's all neat and tidy. I'm relieved that everything is back in its proper place. Especially since this is where we gather for big meetings. I have to polish up everybody's armor. Geez, some of this gear has gotten badly damaged. I'll have to deal with this.

Lissa: Ehem.

(Part 2)

Oboro: Wah!! Princess Lissa! How long have you been standing over there?

Lissa: Oh, a few minutes. Enough to hear you talking to yourself like a crazy person.

Oboro: How dare you call me crazy! I wasn't acting weird at all!

Lissa: Really? I'd be pretty embarrassed if I was caught doing that... It's funny that you want to impress everybody so much. "Oh, I have to polish the armor. Look at me--I'm cleaning the tent!" So adorable. It does kind of make me want to prank you, though...

Oboro: Wh-wh-wh... WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!

(End)

Lissa: Whoa, calm down. Your face totally changed just now. For a moment, I thought you'd transformed into a demon. I...think I should probably go. Excuse me!

Oboro: Princess Lissa!! Come back here!

Cold Reception

Main

Prologue

(Part 1)

Lissa: We can't return until we suppress the Ice Tribe rebellion like King Garon ordered!

Leo: Lissa, why would you say that?!

Lissa: Huh? Wait... Doesn't suppress mean...we ask them nicely to please stop rebelling?

Leo: You don't understand. It's not so simple as all that.

Ryoma: So, your true motives have been revealed. It's just as I feared. You monsters tricked me into helping you in order to infiltrate and harm this village.

Corrin (F): I promise you, that was not our intention.

Ryoma: Do you think me a fool? Such lies do not befit a princess, even one of Nohr. I know well how Nohrians operate. ...So be it.

Leo: Well, this certainly hasn't gone as planned... On your guard, Corrin!

(Part 2)

Ryoma: These are proud people, and I shall not yield and let them be subjugated by Nohr!

Niles Arrives

Owain: My sword hand twitches... It knows our foes are unwitting yet dangerous. We must use the power swelling inside me to claim the golden glow of victory!

Niles: You're a damn weirdo, Owain... You do know that, don't you? In any case, I'm not going to let you take all the glory for yourself.

Corrin (F): Uh... What's going on here? Who are you two?

Rendezvous with Niles & Owain

Niles: My name is Niles. By royal decree of Lord Leo, I am here to serve you.

Corrin (F): Serve me? I would rather you fight at my side as a friend and equal...

Owain: Don't worry about Niles. He's always like this. But back to the matter at-- Ah! My sword hand! It awakens! Fear not, Lady Corrin! I will now use my power to expel from this world those who might wrong you.

Corrin (F): Whoa there! Take it easy... Let's all just calm down, OK?

Battling Ryoma

(Start)

Ryoma: Hmph. So you are not truly my sister after all. Only a Nohrian. What a shame.

Corrin (F): I am your sister! And I make no excuses for what Nohr has done here... But no matter how this ends, all I ask is that you listen to what I have to say.

Ryoma: Sakura... I never imagined you would take up arms against your own people...

Sakura: Big Brother, please don't say such things! This is the last thing I ever wanted.

Ryoma: It pains me deeply to raise my hand against my precious little sister... But alas, this is how it must be for the good of these people. Gods forgive me.

(End)

Ryoma: You spared my life when you had me at your mercy... Why? Explain yourself!

Corrin (F): I would love nothing more than for today to mark a turning point--for all of us. One fueled not by force or control... but by mutual trust.

Ryoma: ...What? This does not sound like a Nohrian proposal...

Corrin (F): Forgive me, Ryoma. I know what I'm about to ask is a somewhat selfish request. But I must ask all the same... Will you agree to halt the rebellion here? In return, I promise to do all I can to let the Ice Tribe maintain their autonomy. But for that to happen, I must ask that the end of violence be reciprocal.

Ryoma: ...I never thought I would say this, but you may count on full cooperation from here.

Corrin (F): Ryoma! I...thank you! I swear to you, you won't regret this.

Ryoma: If King Garon had said the same words, it would have fallen on deaf ears. But you... You are no King Garon. I can't help but believe your promises. Perhaps... Perhaps you truly are my sister after all.

Epilogue

Niles: ...Is there a problem? When can we start inflicting pain?

Owain: Yeah, what's the holdup? My sword hand yearns to release their anguished souls!

Corrin (F): Um, no offense, but you're creeping me out... Please, let's shed no more blood.

Niles: Well, if my liege's royal sibling orders no blood be spilled, I am obliged to obey. I may seem despicable to the unfamiliar, but my loyalty to Lord Leo is unmatched.

Owain: I, too, am a bastion of loyalty...despite the darkness that beckons me. It will be difficult to stay my sword hand--but for you, I'll practice utmost restraint.

Corrin (F): Thank you, gentlemen.

Xenologues

Crying

(Part 1)

Lissa: Ah! I can't believe this! Where have you been?! You can't go wandering off without telling anyone!

(Part 2)

Niles: Hrmm! Rude! I wasn't wandering. I just came from scouting the village. While I was there, I ran into a fair maiden fighting with an unsavory man.

Lissa: A second unsavory man? One besides yourself?

Niles: What?! Hmph! No respect...

(End)

Niles: Anyway, the man fled when I confronted him, and thus the lady was saved. It seems rescuing damsels in distress is something I was born to do!

Lissa: Hmmm... How did you save her, exactly?

Niles: I ran up to the pair and cried, "Now, now, there's enough of me to go around!" He promptly fled the scene. However, the lovely lady had done likewise.

Sweet Robin

(Part 1)

Robin (F): This is your last warning. Confess.

Niles: You just won't stop, will you? Persistence can become unattractive, sweetheart...

Robin (F): My name is ROBIN.

Niles: Robin, sweetheart--you do nothing for me. Find someone else to chase.

Robin (F): What?! The mouth on you...

(Part 2)

Niles: That's right. And neither it nor the rest of me have anything pleasant to share.

Robin (F): Reverse psychology? Hah...I won't be fooled so easily.

(End)

Niles: Ugh... What's a polite way to say "not even if you were the last woman alive"?

Robin (F): Excuse me?!

Niles: Oops! ...That certainly wasn't it. You've thrown me out of sorts, Robin.

Robin (F): Hey! Don't you run away from me! Waaaaaaaaaait!

Desire

(Part 1)

Validar: It is always desire that motivates. That's been true since your kind's beginning. You hope, take, give, kill, struggle... All of your needs and your desires give rise to hate and strife.

(Part 2)

Caeda: Even so, people will continue to chance. This does make me sad... But it makes me happy, too. It's why I love people so much.

(End)

Niles: These people that you love so much... They're selfish. Each and every one. Lives lost before your eyes weigh more heavily than the many anonymous ones taken in war.

Caeda: And that's why we must save those lives. We must not refuse to help each other.

My Robes!

(Part 1)

Robin (M): Niles, you dolt! Don't you see what you've done?!

(Part 2)

Niles: Hey! That's no way to be! I was trying to do you a favor. It's not my fault if I accidentally burned your package lighting my torch!

Robin (M): I appreciate the sentiment, but it was a bit careless of you. My favorite robe was in that bundle! Now look at it! It's been charred black!

(End)

Niles: Oops... Those were your clothes? Heh... That IS a shame. My mistake. I apologize.

Robin (M): This isn't the first time either, Niles! It was my robes last time too! I'm starting to wonder what it is you have against my clothes!

A Brush in the Teeth

Main

Prologue

Niles: Hey, come on, Princess Sakura. We need to get out of here--the sooner the better. Rumor is there are Altean knights at the foot of the mountain. We'll head to them! It's only a bit farther. Just...stick close to me.

Sakura: ...I think I left my rod behind! I can't just leave it... I-its very precious to me... You go on ahead, Niles... Save yourself!

Niles: No way, honey. I didn't flirt with death--and a bandit or two--to give up now. Forget the rod! I'll get it back for you one way or another, all right? Right now I need a little effort on your part. Tick-tock, move that frock!

Recruiting Niles

(Start)

Niles: Whoa! Stop! I am not your enemy!

Marth: What are you saying?

Niles: I'm Niles--a reformed Nohrian thief who joined up with the Soothsire bandits. But, uh...I'm not one of them. I was after Lady Sakura here--she'd gone missing.

Marth: Hmm...

(End)

Niles: Still not convinced, huh? I guess what I'm trying to say is--

Marth: I understand. You can come with us.

Niles: Oh... Well...good. Thank you.

Marth: I'm inclined to trust you. If you truly are no bandit, you deserve the chance to prove yourself. Show me you're ready to help people, and I'll know you're a man of character.

Niles: Rrright. Helping people isn't exactly what I'm known for, but I'll see what I can do...

Rescuing Sakura

(Start)

Marth: Are you unharmed, Sakura?

Sakura: Yes... Thanks for asking!

Marth: This region is dangerous. My forces will draw the enemy away so you can escape.

(End)

Sakura: No, I want to help.

Marth: But...you... What?

Sakura: Please... I'm a Shrine Maiden, after all. I can't just stand by and watch others be harmed when I could be helping them!

Marth: Well...all right... But I don't wish to see you come to harm either.

Sakura: I'll be sure to be careful! Thank you!

Final Battle with Navarre

(Part 1)

Navarre: Will it be tears or blood you weep first?

(Part 2)

Caeda: Navarre! Since when does a swordsman of your caliber fall in with thieves and cutthroats?

Navarre: What? Who are you? Fly away, girl, before someone decides to swat you.

(End)

Caeda: Please, Navarre. Why fight for nothing when you can fight for something? Leave this rabble. Lend your sword to our cause. Or, if you will not, then turn it on me now instead.

Navarre: ...No. I'll turn no blade of mine on a woman. ...If you'd pay for my service with your live, then you are the highest bidder. My sword is yours.

Final Battle with Validar

(Start)

Validar: You must really want to die, coming to the Soothsires' palace unbidden!

(End)

Validar: Argh... I'll make you regret this!

Epilogue

Navarre: ...

Marth: Um...aren't you--

Navarre: Navarre.

Marth: The great swordsman they speak of... Will you fight with us, then?

Navarre: You need only name your target.

Xenologues

Navarre & Niles

(Part 1)

Validar: Navarre, take down the enemy!

Niles: This is who you're working for now? Despicable... Lord Marth spoke highly of you, but it appears he was mistaken. Just swinging your sword around without purpose... You're lower than a beast.

Navarre: Purpose? What if I said my purpose... was you?

(Part 2)

Niles: Sorry, you're not my type.

Navarre: You know what I'm talking about. You don't have to keep up appearances... You and I are the same...

Niles: I fight for Lord Leo; that's my purpose. I'm not at all like you.

Navarre: ...Enough talk. Prepare yourself.

(End)

Navarre: This is no longer interesting. Do as you please.

Navarre's Request

(Part 1)

Lissa: Hey, Navarre. Is there something I can do to help?

Navarre: No. Don't interfere with my training.

Lissa: Sheesh, you're rough around the edges. You could at least pretend to consider it.

(Part 2)

Lissa: Oh, I know! Navarre! I could heal you up. It'll make you feel real energetic for your training!

Navarre: No.

Lissa: How about if we spar? I bet I could beat you from here till sundown!

Navarre: What?

Lissa: Pff. I'm only kidding! You don't have to glare at me like that! I just wanted to get your attention...

(End)

Navarre: Fine. I have one request.

Lissa: Just what I've been waiting for! What is it? Tell me! Tell me!

Navarre: Go away.

Lissa: Oh, you jerk. Fine!

Navarre: Finally.

A Caring Person

(Part 1)

Sakura: Navarre? I can't believe it! It IS you!

Navarre: Sakura.

Sakura: I knew it! But, why? Why are you here?

(Part 2)

Navarre: I'll forget I saw you if you leave now, Sakura.

Sakura: What?! No!

(End)

Navarre: ...Follow me. I'll protect you, so stay close.

Sakura: Thank you, Navarre. I knew there was a caring person hiding under that glower.

Clear Roles

(Part 1)

Navarre: Hmph.

Lissa: Hey there! You're looking pretty strong!

(Part 2)

Navarre: Away with you.

Lissa: Hey! Wh-what's that all about?!

(End)

Marth: That's just how Navarre is. Chrom, I'm sure that he will be a steadfast ally to you.

Chrom: And you, Navarre? You have no objections?

Navarre: He gives orders. I stab people. Our roles are clear.

Chrom: ...All right, then. Welcome aboard.

Princess Minerva

Main

Prologue

Minerva: Prince Xander, I cannot abide by these tactics of yours. Let me attack the rebels head-on and keep my pride as a knight of Macedon.

Xander: Ah, you mean the same pride that cost us all those soldiers back in Aurelis? If we're to regroup, we need to buy time. My tactics are perfectly suited. That aside, Minerva, why exactly are you here? You left your post--not very wise. Might I remind you, poor conduct on your part could have repercussions... Lissa's...comfort as our guest remains within your control--at least somewhat.

Minerva: I am aware of the situation, thank you. ...I did not come to make trouble. But...might I see Lissa? Just for a little while? She's a dear friend, and I swore I'd keep her safe...

Xander: Impossible, I'm afraid. She is a hostage, after all--and not mine. I find the whole matter disagreeable, but if you are so concerned...follow orders.

Minerva: I...understand. ...But the Altean knights are smarter than you give them credit for.

Rebel Army Invasion

Leo: Xander! Grave news! The rebel army has been sighted east of Castle Deil!

Xander: What?! Blast... Send word to the main army. We need reinforcements! We must crush them before they get too close.

Minerva: Rebels...? Then Marth has arrived...

Rescuing Lissa

Lissa: Oh! You must be Prince Marth! ...Thank you for rescuing me. Please be sure to tell Minerva I'm free.

Recruiting Minerva

Minerva: Fie, enough! I've no stomach for these cat-and-mouse tactics.

Final Battle with Xander

(Start)

Xander: Bah! You'll not get past me, rebel!

(End)

Xander: They're a force...to be reckoned... with... Rrgh...

Epilogue

Minerva: Greetings, Prince Marth. I am Minerva of Macedon. Lissa's plight forced me to treat you as an enemy when I knew you were not... Suffice to say, I am truly sorry for that... It seems the whole world has gone mad. Most of Macedon fights for Dolhr now. My own brother, Michalis, leads them. And on their hands is the blood of their king, my father... I must stop them.

Marth: When I heard Michalis was holding you and Lissa hostage, I was worried, but... Is it true that he saved you? What in the world happened?

Minerva: Michalis was wounded in battle, and Lissa tended to him. She saved his life. Her kindness, it seems, can touch any heart--even the heart of a man like him.

Marth: You seem pleased by that...despite everything he's done to you both.

Minerva: ...Perhaps.

Marth: I know how it is, Minerva. A bond between siblings is not so easily broken. In any case, clear your head! You need not worry over Macedon any longer. I will need both you and Macedon at full capacity if we're to bring Gharnef to heel.

Minerva: Of course, Prince Marth. It will be our honor to fight by your side.

Xenologues

Dreams

(Part 1)

Robin (M): Oh, you're, uhh...

Minerva: Minerva. Do you always have this much trouble remembering names?

Robin (M): I'm sorry. My memory gets a little fuzzy at times... Sometimes I get the worst headaches... Like there's not enough room in my head.

(Part 2)

Minerva: ...You're a strange fellow. Or is this some kind of long con?

Robin (M): Oh no, not at all! This is just...how I am. Some people think having no memories means not worrying about the past... But I have my own troubles, just like anyone else.

Minerva: Like what?

(End)

Robin (M): Hmm. Well, the other day, I dreamt of turning into a dragon.

Minerva: A...dragon?

Robin (M): I've read about dreams having a deeper meaning. The idea really stuck with me. It's possible that that notion is keeping me from sleeping well lately...

Minerva: I see... That sounds rough, Robin. I wish I could help in some way.

Minerva's Fight

(Part 1)

Marth: My sister and the others are there... And protecting them-- No...it can't be... Is that the Fell Dragon, Grima?!

(Part 2)

Minerva: To defeat Grima, you may have to do the unthinkable.

Marth: You can't possibly be telling me to kill my own sister!

Minerva: I'm saying that it may be the only option available.

Marth: I won't accept that. I'm sure there's another way. And I'll find it or die trying!

(Part 3)

Grima: YOU COME TO FACE ME AGAIN? YOU WHO INHERITS THE EMBLEM...

Marth: Grima. No matter how many times you return, humankind will never yield! I will put an end to this long war, here and now!

(End)

Grima: AH, THE POWER OF THE SHIELD OF FLAMES... BUT KNOW THIS: AS LONG AS GREED REMAINS WITHIN A HUMAN HEART, I WILL BE REBORN...

Easy Enlistment

(Part 1)

Minerva: Are you making an effort to encourage the troops?

Lissa: Yes, of course! And all my hard work has paid off! We're gaining more recruits every day! Just look! See how many there are?!

Minerva: That's wonderful. However, before I forget... We received a complaint from Navarre. He said you won't stop following him...

Lissa: Oh, that! I figured it would make him look too busy to deal with anyone else! Do you know how many new recruits are head over heels for Navarre? It's crazy!

(Part 2)

Minerva: I see... By the way, Lissa. I found this the other day.

Lissa: Huh? What is it?

Minerva: "No experience? No problem! Join the army now and get three meals a day!" This doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the army. It sounds more like an inn... I'd hate to think that one of our own was responsible for this.

Lissa: O-oh? Maybe they only wanted to help...

(End)

Minerva: Lissa, I'd like a moment of your time. I need to give you a proper scolding.

Lissa: Don't be silly! Something like that would be wasted on me...

Minerva: Come with me.

Lissa: ...Yes, ma'am.

Regret

(Part 1)

Minerva: You refuse to lay down your sword and walk the right path?

Navarre: There are no right paths; just mine and yours. Two that will never align.

Minerva: Then you leave me no choice.

(Part 2)

Chrom: If there's honor left in you, embrace it now. You could still join us...

Navarre: The time for talk is over.

(End)

Minerva: I'd love to curse ill fate, but I know my own weakness is at fault. ...Do not worry about me, Prince Chrom. Let us hurry on.

Knorda Market

Main

Prologue

Robin (F): Marth, have you ever heard of Pontifex Miloah?

Marth: The one who once defended Archanea with the power of Aura? Of course; he and his magic are famous! But...I read that he fell to Gharnef soon after the fiend sold his soul to Dolhr...

Robin (F): Alas, it's true... But his daughter, Linde, lives--and she inherited her father's skill. But no one has seen her since Gharnef claimed Miloah's life. Wherever she is, it must not be pleasant, so please, Marth... Find Linde. With her father gone, you may be the closest thing to family the girl has left.

Final Battle with Owain

(Start)

Owain: Who's this? You fiends seek to halt my quest for the legendary Mystletainn?

Marth: What? No. I heard you are holding some Archaneans here. Release them at once!

Owain: Huh? W-wait! I-I don't actually know anything about that!

(End)

Owain: Why is this happening to me?! Sword hand--I'm sorry!

Rescuing Linde

Marth: Is everyone all right? I know you've been through a lot. Go home to your families. ...Hm? What's wrong, lad? Why don't you go home?

Linde: Because...I have no home to go to.

Marth: You...you're a girl! Why were you dressed as a boy?

Linde: To hide, sir. My name is Linde. My father is--was--Miloah, a pontifex. I wore men's garb to escape Gharnef, but that odd fellow grabbed me as I fled.

Marth: So you're Linde... I'm glad you are safe. We were all worried about you, you know... Well, we're all together now. I promise to keep you out of danger.

Linde: No! Let me fight. With your blessing, and the tome my father left me, I can wield light magic. Let me use it to avenge him. I want to destroy Gharnef myself!

Recruiting Chrom

(Start)

Caeda: Hail, soldier of Ylisse! Are you the one they call Chrom?

Chrom: Hail indeed! I am Chrom. How can I be of service?

Caeda: An Ylissean woman by the name of Lissa told me about you.

(End)

Caeda: She's very worried about you.

Chrom: I see. Owain asked me here to help him find some legendary blade... But if I'm worrying Lissa, perhaps I should call my search here.

Caeda: Then why not fight for Archanea instead? Help us set the world right.

Validar, the Captor

Validar: So the dregs of Archanea have come to challenge my reign, hm? Hah! Do they think none have tried? The dragon-goddess is right where I want her--you'll never disperse my shadows!

Validar's Defeat

(Start)

Validar: You dare oppose me, fool? You must not value your life. Cover before me!

(End)

Validar: Altean prince! I fear you are not quite imposing enough to warrant my staying.

Epilogue

Chrom: Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Chrom, captain of the Shepherds.

Linde: I'm Linde, daughter of Pontifex Miloah.

Chrom: Pontifex Miloah? Should I...have heard that name before?

Linde: ...You've never heard of my father?

Chrom: Please excuse my ignorance. He must be a person of some renown.

Linde: He is. There isn't a soul in Archanea Palace who doesn't know his name. He is known as a great sage and is well respected by all. It has always been my dream to be just like him...

Chrom: I see. I would like to meet him someday. Does he live somewhere in Archanea?

Linde: He...passed away. Slain in battle with the vile Gharnef.

Chrom: I see... You have my sincere condolences.

Linde: Thank you. Anyway, it's nice to meet you, Chrom.

Chrom: Likewise, Linde.

Xenologues

Strange Power

(Part 1)

Chrom: More of them!

Linde: Chrom! There's a strange power moving through this area.

(Part 2)

Linde: The energy around here is being disrupted... I don't think we're going to be able to use magic here.

Chrom: I don't know who they are, but it looks like they're after a fight.

(End)

Chrom: We beat it. But what was it? After the final blow, its body crumbled into dust.

Linde: When it died... I heard its voice call out... Did you hear it? Sorrow... It was filled with terrible sorrow.

Army's Heart

(Part 1)

Linde: Lord Xander, why not take the whole army with you? If you're going on ahead--

Xander: That's enough, Linde. Can't you see how tired the troops are?

(Part 2)

Linde: ...I'm sorry. You're right. But do you think we'll be strong enough without them?

Xander: My siblings will more than make up the difference.

(End)

Xander: Linde, there's someone here to see you.

Linde: Oh? I wonder who it could be...

Sakura: Linde, you saved us.

Strawberries

(Part 1)

Robin (M): Linde, I found some strawberries nearby. They looked ripe and ready for picking. You should try some. They're just as good as they look!

(Part 2)

Linde: Yum! These are much better than the ones I used to get in the palace.

Robin (M): That's the beauty of freshly picked fruit!

(End)

Linde: Hey, do you want to go up the mountain together next time?

Robin (M): I don't mind. But...are you sure your robes would be up to it? If they got caught on something and ripped, you'd be n-- Erm... You'd be cold.

Linde: Oh, grow up. And I'd never let anything happen to this robe! It's precious to me... It was a gift from my late father.

Robin (M): O-oh? ...I'm sorry.

Uncertain Prayers

(Part 1)

Linde: Father, please watch over me. Please ensure that no one dies in this battle. Please grant me the magical power to protect my allies. And, um, what else...

Ryoma: Hmm.

(Part 2)

Linde: I want Marth to give me a lot of gold, and I want to get all the good food... and I want to only ever do the fun jobs, and I want a servant who obeys me... and everyone should get along with me, and...uhh... I want us to win unexpectedly easily.

(End)

Ryoma: This is quite an unorthodox prayer. Does it go on much longer?

Linde: Lord Ryoma?! Oh... Were you listening that whole time?

Ryoma: I have orders for you from Prince Marth.

Linde: ...Yes, m'lord.
