Before battle(17-1)
Tibarn
Is that it?
Nealuchi
Wait, there's more! It seems that Prince Reyson was able to escape Duke
Tanas's villa and make his way safely to Serenes Forest. However...we
have word that Tanas's men have entered the forest in hopes of
recapturing the prince. We've not a moment to waste! Please, O king of
hawks! Reach out your mighty talons, strike down these wretched humans,
and rescue Prince Reyson. I implore you, Your Majesty, take wing at
once!
Tibarn
Why is Naesala not here?
Nealuchi
That...er... His Highness must not be seen here at this time... It's--
Janaff
What's going on, you old buzzard? King Kilvas is the White Prince's
friend, isn't he?
Nealuchi
Well...how do I put this? Hm, it's all very complicated...
Tibarn
I care not for excuses. If anything happens to Reyson, blood will be
spilled.
Nealuchi
Oh, no! Please! There's no cause for worry. Duke Tanas treats his works
of art with a delicacy so extreme that it could best be
called...abnormal. He would never let any harm
befall Prince Reyson....He probably can't even bring himself to touch
him. The king himself told me so. That is the only reason he accepted
this proposal--
Ulki
Proposal?
Nealuchi
Ah! Um... What I mean is...Er...
Janaff
Hold it! You crows set the prince up?!
Nealuchi
S-set up? Set up? Oh, no, no! Well...not exactly. Um...Please don't
hurt me!
Tibarn
So that's the truth of it, eh? Naesala treated Reyson like a piece of
merchandise and sold him. To a human...
Nealuchi
No, that's not... The only one who referred to him as merchandise was
Duke Tanas. We never--
Tibarn
It doesn't matter! Claiming ignorance does not grant you innocence. You
treated Reyson like a trinket in a public market!
Nealuchi
Oooh, dear...
Tibarn
If Reyson hadn't escaped on his own, perhaps the crow king would have
rescued him when things cooled down. Regardless, Reyson trusted in his
friend and followed him into the trap... And Naesala spit on that
friendship. That, I cannot forgive!
Nealuchi
Your assessment of this old bird is correct. I am a worm, nothing more.
But please, I beg of you... Temper your outrage. Let it cool.
Janaff
You're unbelievable. What is it with you crows, anyway? Everything you
do is so dirty and deceptive. We will never understand your ways. Do
you hear me, greywings?
Nealuchi
I hear you well, young hawk. But our nation... Our nation has... It has
its own issues.
Nealuchi
Please, this is not the time to yell at a tired old man. You must hurry
to Prince Reyson's side! Once he is safe, you can punish me in any way
that you see fit...
Tear me limb from limb if you wish...But please! Go to Prince Reyson! I
beg of you!
Tibarn
This begging is unseemly and unwanted. We would rescue Reyson
regardless of this pathetic show of tears. Return to Kilvas and report
these events to your accursed king. Tell him that when this is over,
King Tibarn of Phoenicis will be paying him a visit.
Nealuchi
...Y-yes, Your Highness!
Janaff
Sigh... I know he deserves it, but I still feel bad for badgering the
old coot.
Ulki
Your Majesty, what will we do now?
Tibarn
Ulki, use your ears to pick out the sound of Reyson's wings, then tell
me the direction from which it comes.
Ulki
At once!
Tibarn
Janaff, use your eyes to peer between the trees and find me a road.
Janaff
You got it!
Tibarn
Human scum...If you think to replay that night from twenty years ago,
you'll get no quarter from me.
Ike
Hm? Is that you, Soren? You're up early.
Soren
Actually, I'm always awake at this time.
Ike
Really?
Soren
Yes. You're the one who's up earlier than normal.
Ike
I want to finish our mission today. I think my nervous energy woke me
up.
Soren
I understand... The last two days spent searching Serenes Forest for
that heronhave been frustrating and fruitless. I'm sure he's in there
somewhere, but...
Ike
I agree. And Duke Tanas's men are still hunting away. They must think
the heron is there as well.
Soren
The only place left is the forest's heart. That's where we should go
today. With luck, we may finally locate our target.
Ike
I get the feeling it's going to be a long day.
Soren
I believe this is the place where we ended our search yesterday.
Ike
I realized something a couple of days ago...Even in this forest, you
always know exactly where you are, don't you?
Soren
Hm?
Ike
How do you do that? I think it's the lack of color, but these woods are
starting to look the same to me.
Soren
Yes, that's a problem...
Nasir
Ike! We're approaching a large clearing. I think we should have the
apostle and some of the others wait there.
Ike
Good idea. Even if we find the heron today, there's no need for them to
tramp through the forest with us.
Soren
Mmm...
Ike
We're going to head deeper into the forest and continue the search.
Please wait here. If we find the heron, we'll send for you immediately.
Elincia
I understand. My lord Ike, everyone, please be careful.
Sanaki
...We're counting on you.
Ike
Sigrun? Tanith? May I entrust the princess to your care?
Sigrun
Of course.
Tanith
You've no need to worry. We will protect her with our lives.
Ike
Very well. Until later.
Ike
All right. Greil Mercenaries, move out!
Oliver
Gah! Haven't you fools found my precious little bird yet? I've no doubt
the poor thing is even now quivering with loneliness and cold.
Bengion Soldier
Duke Tanas! I've just received word that the mercenaries who invaded
your villa are in this forest!
Oliver
Blast! Those wretches... They're here to steal my bird! Their souls are
black with greed and jealousy! I have found beauty incarnate, and I
will not relinquish it! Only I, Duke Tanas, can appreciate its worth!
Bengion Soldier
Um...I'm...sure that's true, Your Grace, but what about the
mercenaries? What should we do about them?
Oliver
Hunt them down like dogs! Let none leave this forest alive! They will
not rob me of my prize.
Bengion Soldier
But, Your Grace, they serve at the pleasure of the apostle herself!
Striking them would be--
Oliver
Leave the apostle to me! I can deal with her once this is finished! All
I need from you is silence and obedience. Is that clear?
Bengion Soldier
Yes, Your Grace! I beg your pardon.
Bengion Soldier
There they are! Do as Duke Oliver commanded! Slay them where they
stand! Let none leave the forest alive, not man, woman, or child!
Ike
Oh, not the duke's soldiers again...I think it's about time we put an
end to these fools. Listen up, everyone! Let's end this here!
After battle (17-1)
Tibarn
What was that sound?
Janaff
I heard something, too.
Ulki
It came from the northeast. It's unlike anything I've ever heard.
Janaff
To the northeast...? Aha! There are ruins over there. Perhaps the White
Prince found them to be a good hiding place.
Tibarn
Let's check it out. Maybe we can find him and escape while the humans
fight amongst themselves.
Janaff
What are those humans thinking? Why would they be trying to lop each
others' heads off?
Ulki
Shall I make an inquiry?
Tibarn
Leave them. They're nothing but trouble.
Janaff
I second that! Now, if we want to avoid the human skirmish, we should
head...thataway! Through these trees!
Tibarn
Let's go.
Ulki
Yes, sir!
Soren was deployed
Ike
Curses! They just keep coming! How many soldiers does he have?
Soren
There's no telling. He is a bishop and a senator, and he holds peerage,
and that means he could command many men.
Soren was not deployed
Ike
Curses, they just keep coming and coming. How many soldiers does he
have?
Nasir
There's no telling. He is a bishop and a senator, but he holds peerage,
and that means he could command many men.
Titania was deployed but Soren wasn't
Titania
Commander, what do you think about calling in reinforcements?
Ike
That's not a bad idea. And while we wait, we could take a breather and
reorganize our attack strategy... Let's do it.
Titania and Soren were not deployed
Nasir
Perhaps we, too, should call in a few reinforcements. What do you think?
Ike
That's not a bad idea. And while we wait, we could take a breather and
reorganize our attack strategy... Let's do it.
Conversation continues
Lethe, Mist, Mordecai were deployed
Lethe and Mordecai were deployed
Ike
All right, let's figure out where to go next.
Mist
Brother!
Ike
What is it, Mist?
Mist
Did you...hear a sound just now?
Ike
Huh? No, I didn't.
Mist
Really? I guess it was just me then.
Lethe
That sound you heard, was it high-pitched, like the chiming of a bell?
Mist
Ah! Yes, it was! That's it exactly!
Mordecai
I heard it, too. It was very beautiful.
Ike
I didn't hear a thing.
Lethe
It created only a slight disturbance in the air. It could only be heard
by those possessed of extraordinary hearing... So, your sister's
hearing is on par with that of the laguz.
Mist
Wow! Did you hear that? Neat!
Ike
Don't let it go to your head. A sound that beorc can't hear...Hmm...
That's interesting.
Nasir
It is said that those of the heron clan all practice the art of seid
magic. Perhaps this sound is related to that?
Mist
Seid magic? What's that?
Nasir
It involves arcane songs known as galdrar. The effects of galdrar on
the listener depend on the lyrics and melody. For example, a galdr can
restore lost strength and vitality to those who hear it. And if the
singer is of royal blood, the galdr may be powerful enough to move its
listener to extraordinary feats. I've even heard tales of a galdr that
could give one the speed to do the work of two men. The galdrar grant
many powers.
Mist
Wow... That sounds incredible, doesn't it, Ike!
Ike
Yeah. But even with all that power, they were still wiped out by the
beorc.
Mist
Right...
Nasir
Herons are highly attuned to the forces of balance. Even if they had
the means to resist, I doubt they would have used them.
Ike
...We leave as soon as our reinforcements arrive. Duke Tanas must not
succeed! Let's rescue the heron while there's time!
Mist
All right!
Lethe
We should head toward the ruins in the northeast. I sense something odd
there.
Ike
Got it. Thanks for the information.
Lethe
It is nothing. It is only natural...to aid one's companions.
Ike
I couldn't agree more.
Nasir

It was a small sound. Your ears would need to be very sharp to hear it.
Mist, your beorc ears are as good as my laguz ones!

We should head towards the ruins in the northeast. I smell something...

You're welcome. I am always happy to help Ike.

I couldn't agree more.

Ike
All right, let's figure out where to go next.
Lethe
We should head towards the ruins in the northeast. I sense a presence
there.
Ike
A presence?
Lethe
It happened a moment ago and was a mere whisper. Only laguz ears could
have heard it. Perhaps it was a signal of some sort.
Ike
A sound that beorc can't hear...Hmmm... That's interesting.

Lethe
I understand...
Ike
Lethe, hold on a moment.
Lethe
What is it?

The sound and the ruins...Thanks for telling me about them.
Lethe
It is nothing. It is only natural...to aid one's companions.

The Serenes are amazing, aren't they?

Yeah. But even with all that power, they were still wiped out by the
beorc.

You're right... Why did that have to happen?
Nasir
Herons are highly attuned to the forces of balance. Even if they had
the means to resist, I doubt they would have used them.

That's right! And I will do all that I can to help!!!
Nasir

Lethe, Mordecai, and Mist were not deployed
Ike
All right, let's decide.

We should move towards the ruins in the northeast. I sense something
odd there.

Before battle (17-2)
Reyson
Cursed humans... How dare they defile this forest again! I will brook
their savagery no more! The forest whispered earlier, but I must drive
these wretches out before I can speak to it further. I will go to the
altar...I will give voice to the forbidden magic and destroy the humans
utterly!
Soren was deployed, and selected a unit as reinforcements
Ike
Listen, everyone! We must make our way to the ruins in the northeast.
Fight if you must, but keep up!
Soren
Ike! What about the reinforcements?
Ike
They'll have to catch up. We can't wait any longer!
Soren
Understood.
Soren wasn't deployed and selected a unit as reinforcements
Ike
Listen, everyone! We must make our way to the ruins in the northeast.
Fight if you must, but keep up!
Nasir
Ike! What about the reinforcements?
Ike
They'll have to catch up. We can't wait any longer!
Nasir
Understood.
Soren was deployed but didn't select anyone as reinforcements
Ike
Listen, everyone! We must make our way to the ruins in the northeast.
Fight if you must, but keep up!
Soren
Understood.
Soren wasn't deployed and no one was selected as reinforcements
Ike
Listen, everyone! We must make our way to the ruins in the northeast.
Fight if you must, but keep up!

Bengion Soldier
There they are! The Crimean mercenaries! Surround them! They must all
die!
After battle
Titania was deployed
Ike
Whew...we finally made it. Let's split up and search the surrounding
area.
Titania
Commander, do you think we should call more reinforcements?
Ike
The duke's army seems nearly limitless, and I'm worried about our
weapon situation. Let's do it.
Titania was not deployed

Before battle (17-3)
Titania was deployed
Ike
Hey, what's this?
Titania
What is it, Commander?
Ike
Look here. This is the only place in these ruins where I've seen
healthy grass growing.
Titania
You're right. I wonder why?
Ike
And I found this...
Titania
A white feather? So we were right. The heron is around here somewhere.
Ike
It's possible, but...
Unknown
Ike! Over here!
Ike
What now?
Titania was not deployed
Ike
Hey, what's this?
Nasir
What is it, Ike?
Ike
Look here. This is the only place in these ruins where I've seen
healthy grass growing.
Nasir
You're right.
Ike
And I found this.
Nasir
A white feather? Of course. So this is where...
Ike
Where what?
Nasir
This way. Come with me.
Ike
What now?
Conversation continues
Ike
Nasir! What have you found?
Nasir
...A heron.
Leanne
(Whatever is this...?)
Ike
...Um... That's a girl. Nasir, you said that the male heron we met was
the only surviving member of the race.
Nasir
I believed it to be true. To find another survivor...It's a miracle.
Leanne
(Who are you?)
Ike
Hey, wait, please! I must speak--
Leanne
(Yaaaa...!Stay away, human!)
Titania was deployed
Ike
Come on. Wake up.
Leanne
......
Titania
She's fainted dead away.
Ike
I guess there's nothing I can do but wait for her to come around. I
wasn't trying to frighten her.
Titania was not deployed
Ike
Come on. Wake up.
Leanne
......
Nasir
She's lost consciousness.
Conversation continues
Ike
I guess there's nothing I can do but wait for her to come around. I
wasn't trying to frighten her.
Oliver
Oh! Oh! Oh!
I've found you at last! My beautiful treasure!
Ike
It's about time you showed your bloated face, Duke Tanas!
Oliver
Oh! Oh... No mistake about it. That is the spectacular work of art I
paid so much to obtain...
Ike
You still claim ownership, do you?
Oliver
No, wait... Something's different...This is...a female!? You mean to
tell me that yet another lives? How spectacular! Men! Bring me that
heron! But do her no harm!
Ike
You'll never have her!
Ike
Again? Will this corpulent windbag never learn? Form up, troops! We
must protect the heron!
After battle (17-3)
Oliver
Aaa...aaarrrrrgggghhhh! What vexatious wretches! I am...overmatched! I
can't believe I'm saying this, but... there's another white heron!
Re-retreat! Leave them their prize!
Boyd and Soren were deployed
Ike
Blast! Duke Tanas has escaped!
Soren
Ike? Perhaps trying to fight with that heron on your back is not the
wisest of ideas. Why don't we take her to the apostle before moving on?
Ike
We've finally got Duke Tanas on the run! I don't intend to stop until
we've captured or killed that monster!
Soren
I understand, but shouldn't we at least let someone else carry the
heron?
Ike
Truth be told, she's unbelievably light. I barely know she's there.
Soren
Is... Is that so?
Ike
I think she weighs... Oh, I'd say about half as much as Mist.
Mist
Wow! I'm surprised!
Boyd
I'll bet you are...
Mist
What are you grinning about, Boyd?
Boyd
Oh, nothing... I'm just amazed...Did you know you're two times heavier
than she is!? I'm glad I don't have to carry you around! It'd be like
wearing an extra suit of armor!
Mist
You... You pig! You're the worst!
Boyd
Gaaa!
Ike
All right, maybe I exaggerated a bit.
But she's still lighter than you.
Mist
Well, what do you expect? She's a bird!!!
Boyd was not deployed but Soren was
Ike
Blast! Duke Tanas has escaped!
Soren
Ike, trying to fight with that heron on your back is not a good idea.
Why don't we take her to the apostle before moving on?
Ike
We've finally got Duke Tanas on the run! I don't intend to stop until
we've captured or killed that monster!
Soren
I understand, but shouldn't we at least let someone else carry the
heron?
Ike
Truth be told, she's unbelievably light. I barely know she's there.
Soren
Is... Is that so?
Ike
I think she weighs... Oh, I'd say about half as much as Mist.
Mist
Huh? You're kidding, right?
Soren
Mmm... I see.
Mist
You see? What's that supposed to mean, Soren? You know that Ike's
making fun of me, don't you? He's just a big jerk!!
Ike
All right, maybe I exaggerated a bit. But she's still lighter than you.
Mist
Well, what do you expect? She's a bird!
Boyd and Soren were not deployed
Ike
Blast! Duke Tanas has escaped!
Nasir
What will you do, Ike? Shall we go and report back to the apostle?
Ike
We've finally got Duke Tanas on the run! I don't intend to stop until
we've captured or killed that monster!
Nasir
It's your choice.
Conversation continues
Titania was deployed
Titania
Commander, if this battle is going to continue, I think we should get
more reinforcements.
Titania was not deployed
Nasir
If this conflict is going to drag on, I think it best for us to call up
some reinforcements.
Main Story(17-4)
Before battle (17-4)
Tibarn
Reyson! Are you well?
Reyson
Tibarn! How did you--
Tibarn
Nealuchi told us everything.
Reyson
Oh... Allow me to apologize. I left on my own without a word to you,
and this is what happened.
Tibarn
As long as you're unharmed, all is well. Let's go home.
Reyson
Please, give me a little time. I cannot allow these humans to remain in
the forest.
Tibarn
I understand how you feel, but we're completely outnumbered. Let us
wait for another day--
Reyson
Once I stand at the altar, I can take care of them. Every one of them.
Tibarn
You can't mean... Are you thinking of using the forbidden magic?
Reyson
...Yes. I will sing those monsters the dirge of ruin.
Tibarn
Are you mad?! You mustn't! I can't allow it!
Reyson
With permission or without, I do what I must! It is retribution for
genocide! Retribution for this forest!
Tibarn
Reyson! You must not let yourself be ruled by despair! Each member of
the heron tribe is an embodiment of balance! Do this, and you warp your
very existence!
Reyson
That's what they all said...My family. My tribe. And then...they died.
The humans were drunk with joy. They laughed! They sang! ...And then
they slaughtered us like livestock. My mother, my brother, my elder
sisters... Even my infant sister, Leanne! All killed in a single night.
Tibarn
Reyson...
Reyson
I know. This thing I intend to do brings dishonor to my house. And
yet...I cannot forgive. And their past actions weren't enough; now,
they violate the sanctity of the
forest without a trace of regret! Accursed humans...I will never
forgive them!
Tibarn
Don't you think we understand that?
Reyson
...
Janaff
That's right!
Prince Reyson, there's no need for you to reject your honor based on
the likes of them!
Ulki
The tragedy of the herons...The horror and pain of that night...lives
on in all of us.
Tibarn
Let's return to Phoenicis, and think of a plan. You are right. This
will not stand. The full power of the hawk nation is behind you. The
humans will pay.
Reyson
...As you wish...
Ike
Enough already! Lay down your arms and surrender. We will let you live!
Oliver
Grrrrrr... No! Never! I'm not giving up! I'm not finished yet! Out of
my way, penniless wretches! Your very existence is an insult to all
that is beautiful! All you really want is my wealth and beauty!
Miserable curs... You reek of poverty and envy! Oh, but I understand
your emotions...Yes, I do. How could you sad vagabonds not want to be
me?
Ike
...That's the last thing in the world--
Oliver
Silence! I am not one to be daunted by mean beggars such as you. Oh ho
ho ho! In the name of the goddess, I, Oliver, duke of Tanas, will smite
your hideous evil!
Ike
Um...
Oliver
To arms! To arms! Defend me with all the strength you possess! Oh, and
bring me the little bird that blue-haired lout is carrying while you're
at it...
Ike
...Oh, please.
Ike
Here they come! Combat formation, everyone!
When a unit reaches past the swamp
Janaff
Uh-oh! They're still going at it over here. Shall we go around?
Tibarn
I suppose so. Two human armies bashing one anothers' brains out...I
wonder what they're after.
Reyson
Ah!
Tibarn
There's that sound again. Reyson, are you doing that?
Reyson
...
Tibarn
No, I suppose not.
Reyson
...The forest is whispering something. (What is it?)...What are you
trying to tell me?
Janaff
King Tibarn! Prince Reyson! Look! There!
Tibarn
Eh?
Reyson
Ah?
Janaff
The blue-haired human is carrying something on his back...No, it can't
be...
Tibarn
Is that...another heron?
Reyson
...But...that's not...
Tibarn
I think some of the humans might be fighting to protect the heron.
Grr... It's against my nature, but...we shall aid them! Janaff! Ulki!
To me!
Ulki
Right!
Janaff
Yes, sir!
Reyson
Tibarn!(Please....)Allow me to go with you.
Tibarn
If you forswear the forbidden magic, you may come.
Reyson
Agreed.
Oliver is attacked
Oliver
Listen to me, you boors! You cannot possibly understand the pursuit of
beauty. You are savages! You are a blight on the world, and you must
die!
Oliver dies
Oliver
Ohhh...ahhh...I...cannot...fall here...It cannot...be...Such
a...loss...to beauty...
After battle
Ike
It's you!
Reyson
On your back... Who is it you carry?
Ike
Oh, the girl? I think she may be somebody you know, but...
Reyson
(Leanne!)
Leanne
(Reyson, my brother? Brother!)
Reyson
(Is it really you,) Leanne? (This is no) dream? How is this possible?
How did you survive all this time?
Tibarn
Leanne? Do you know who I am?
Leanne
(Tibarn? Of the hawk tribe, yes?)
Tibarn
That's right. You remember my name. Have you been here by yourself for
all these years?
Leanne
(I don't know...that night... My sisters took me and hid me in the
small shrine. I'm sure they sang a galdr to me...And then I became so
sleepy...)
Reyson
The forest protected her. It kept her asleep for so long...There's no
way to express my gratitude. (Thank you for...With all that I
am,) I thank you.
Tibarn
You there, beorc.
Ike
Me?
Tibarn
I am Tibarn, king of Phoenicis. Since the loss of their homeland, the
Serenes royal family has been under my guardianship. Who are you, and
why do you aid the herons?
Ike
My name is Ike. I am commander of the Greil Mercenaries. I am under
orders of the empress, the apostle Sanaki, to protect the herons.
Tibarn
The empress of this country wants to protect the herons? Ha! That is an
interesting tale. The herons were blamed for the assassination of the
last empress. They were massacred on hearsay. And now her ancestor
wants to help them? Touching.
Ike
The empress Sanaki knows that the herons are not murderers. And now,
she is trying to atone for the crimes of her people.
Reyson
...No. I cannot believe that.
Tibarn
...
Reyson
Pathetic apologies and half-baked platitudes are easily spoken! Humans
burned Serenes Forest. They killed my family. I cannot trust one who
allies himself with them.
Ike
Please, withhold judgment until you speak with the apostle. She's
waiting at the forest's edge.
Reyson
The apostle is here?
Reyson
So you...are the apostle?
Sanaki
I am.
Reyson
...
Sanaki
...I'm...sorry...I am ignorant as to what words of contrition will be
appropriate to one of the heron tribe. Yet I stand before you as a
representative of my people... From the depths of my heart I apologize
to you... I am sorry... So truly sorry...
Sigrun
Emp-Empress Sanaki! What are you doing? You are the apostle! You cannot
bend your knee to another!
Ike
Peace! Let her speak her heart.
Sigrun
I...um...
Reyson
...
Sanaki
I'm sorry...I'm sorry...
Leanne
(That is enough...)
Sanaki
...?
Reyson
Leanne?
Leanne
(Please rise, Apostle Sanaki.)
Sanaki
You... What is it you want? Are you telling me to stand?
Sanaki
You...
Leanne
(It is enough. It was not your fault.)
Reyson
Leanne!
Leanne
(Brother..it is enough, is it not? Forgive this child. Her apology
is...so sincere.)
Reyson
Leanne! You cannot ask me to forgive them! You were asleep... You don't
know what these humans did to us...
Leanne
(...I do know. The forests...told me everything.)
Reyson
You...know?
Leanne
(Everyone is...gone, aren't they?)
Reyson
That's right... Everyone is gone. That's why I cannot release my hatred.
Leanne
(Brother... My loving brother, Reyson. The pain and sadness is in you,
Brother. It clouds your very soul. To see you like this, to watch you.
It hurts me. Please...do not lose yourself to hate.)
Reyson
(Leanne my sister.) I understand. If that is how you feel...
Sanaki
...
Reyson
Apostle Sanaki... We accept your apology. We may not be able to release
our hatred of hum-- of beorc, but...You need not let the fate of
Serenes Forest trouble you any longer. You are absolved of that
guilt......
Sanaki
Th-thank you...
Ike
That was well done.
Sanaki
Yes...
Elincia
My lord Ike, what will happen now?
Ike
The heron siblings said there would be some sort of ceremony, but I
don't know what that entails.
Janaff
You there! Beorc mercenaries! Prince Reyson wants all of you to come to
the Serenes altar. The presence of Princess Crimea and the apostle is
also requested.
Ike
Altar?
Janaff
Just come with me. It's this way.
Elincia
Empress Sanaki, Commander Sigrun, let us go.
Sanaki
Very well.
Mist
Let's hurry, Ike!
Ike
Right.
Nasir
Ah, excellent. The gap between laguz and beorc has been bridged. I
think this may be enough...
Soren
...
Titania
What's wrong, Soren? You look so grim. What are you looking at?
Soren
It's nothing. Nothing at all.
Titania
Wait, Soren! What in the world is wrong with him?
Tibarn
That was excellent.
Elincia/b]
It's so beautiful...
Sanaki
The Serenes Forest, beloved of the goddess, is alive once more.
Sigrun
You spoke so well earlier, Empress Sanaki. You fill my heart with
pride... Sniff...
Sanaki
Here now! None of that. This is no place for tears!
Sigrun
I'm sorry... I'm just so happy...
Base Conversations
Servant
Tanith
Commander Ike! A priest from Duke Tanas's villa insists on speaking
with you.
Ike
Yes? What is it?
Servant
Um... Master mercenary. It is my understanding that you...you pursue
Duke Tanas. I hear that you're searching Serenes Forest in hopes of
capturing him.
Ike
And if I am?
Servant
Duke Tanas's property borders the forest, and he knows much about its
layout. For quite some time now, he's been sending men into the forest
to look for any herons who may still live there.
Ike
I see... So you're saying that his troops know the forest well.
Servant
I, too, have been taken into the forest.
Ike
You? Why take a priest?
Servant
He thought that herons would make themselves known if a priest called
to them. He's also taken dozens of chaste maidens and tried having them
call to the herons as well.
Ike
But he didn't find any, did he?
Servant
No. And yet, this time...The joy he expressed after paying such an
exorbitant price for the Serenes royal was aberrant. It was...not
natural. The duke has gone mad. To think that he would dare to defy the
apostle...He is damned.
Ike
And here you stand. You're going to tell me what you remember about the
forest, even though it means you're betraying Tanas...right?
Servant
Hmm... You read me well. To begin with, the heart of the forest was
divided into three large sections. Maybe more. It was nearly colorless,
and difficult to see far. The muddy floor pulled
at our feet, and progress was slow. Many of the soldiers around me were
afraid that they didn't bring enough supplies. They said a person would
need them if he got lost, because getting out again would be no easy
task.
Ike
What can you tell me about Duke Tanas's forces?
Servant
There were a lot of them...He had soldiers of every type. It was said
that his mounted units and magic users were especially powerful. So at
the very least, you should be prepared to deal with those two groups.
Ike
Thank you.
Servant
...My parents... They both participated in the Serenes massacre.
They're nearing the ends of their lives, but even now they lie awake at
night and beg the goddess for forgiveness. I became a priest in order
to help my parents, but then I was assigned to work at Duke Tanas's
villa...I knew of his terrible deeds, but his position as an imperial
senator frightened me. I have been silent for far too long. Master
mercenary... You must rescue that Serenes youth. I beg of you. May the
goddess guide your hand.
Ike
Don't worry. I have no intention of letting that villain steal him from
before my very eyes.
Jill
Ike
Here you are.
Jill
...
Ike
We've been in Begnion for a while now. So tell me something...Why are
you still here? Are you pretending to be our friend so you can lance us
in the back?
Jill
...You have to understand...I...I didn't know anything. I was born and
raised in the Talrega region of Daein. It's a very remote area. My
father was a soldier, and I grew up thinking that I, too, would one day
be a soldier. A soldier to make my father proud. My life was simple...
I questioned nothing. Doubted nothing.
Ike
...
Jill
Do you know the first thing we're taught in Daein schools? Sub-humans
are evil. Sub-humans are the enemy. Sub-humans must be eradicated. The
army stages periodic sub-human hunts. We'd find refugees from Begnion
hiding in our mountains and forests...
Ike
You participated?
Jill
You don't get it! That's just how things are in Daein! No one taught me
the word laguz! No one taught me that sub-humans could be... could be
like this. No one cared.
Ike
...
Jill
When I saw the bird tribes at sea, I was convinced that the teachings
were true. They were inhuman monsters. But later, I saw the dragons
push your ship off of the reef, and it confused me. What if I had been
raised to believe a lie? My heart pounded at the thought of it. And my
doubts only grew with time.
Ike
So you decided to remain aboard in order to ascertain the truth. That's
your true motive, isn't it?
Jill
How did you know?
Ike
I've known a lot of soldiers, and none would ever accept charity from
an enemy. It would wound their pride. You obviously have pride to
spare, so I knew there was some other factor at play.
Jill
Oh...
Ike
Well, have you reached a conclusion? What will you do?
Jill
I...want to stay here. At first, I thought I could protect my old life,
that I could prove the sub-humans were monsters. But I was wrong. And
now things are different. The sub-hu-- I'm sorry, the laguz... I want
to know the truth about them, and I need to base that on what I see,
not what I am told by others.
Ike
In that case, you can stay as long as you like.
Jill
I appreciate it. I think meeting all of you... was a very good thing.
Devdan
Devdan
La la la! La la laaaaaa! Hmmmm...La laaaa hmmmmmlaaaaaa!La de di da de
laaaaaa...
Ike
...Um... Hey there, you. Have a minute?
Devdan
Oh, Captain! How are you today?
Ike
It's commander. Not captain. Well...you seem to be enjoying yourself.
Devdan
That's because this garden is so pretty. Devdan loves all plants and
flowers. How about you, Commander?
Ike
They're all right, I suppose.
Devdan
That makes Devdan rather sad. All right is not a very strong feeling.
It is boring. You should be a more emotional commander. Even things
you're used to will show you something new if you look hard enough. And
discoveries are exciting! That's what life is all about! At least,
that's what Devdan thinks. Some disagree...and that makes Devdan upset!
Ike
...You may be on to something. In Crimea, when my father was still
alive, I think I was more open to such things. But now...I just don't
have the time. Honestly, all I can think about is defeating Daein. I've
no energy left to spend on flowers.
Devdan
...If you talk like that, you will never defeat Daein.
Ike
What did you say?
Devdan
The war is new. If you are already so focused on preparations, you'll
wear out
before the fighting begins.
Ike
Hold on a minute!...
