Main Story

Before battle

Black Knight
Why did you return to Crimea? You had the perfect opportunity to escape.

Ena
...I'm going to the capital.

Black Knight
No. You are not. The king has ordered me to put an end to you.

Ena
I thought as much... So be it. I am prepared.

Black Knight
Will you not resist?

Ena
I do not believe I could prevail against one of your power.

Black Knight
How extremely frank.

Ena
My only wish was to be beside the one I love. If that is not to be, then it matters not what happens to me.

Black Knight
As my last act of compassion, I shall make your end a swift and merciful one. Do you have any final words?

Ena
...If you see Nasir, tell him that Ena was sorry.

Black Knight
If I have the opportunity, I will so tell him. Rest in peace.

Ena
...My...love...

Ike
Turn and face me, Black Knight!

Black Knight
Hmph. I've been waiting for you, child.

Ike
Ah! Did you kill that girl?

Black Knight
Despite my promise, the blow was not clean. She breathes still.

Ike
I'll take her.

Black Knight
You'll have to do so by force. You brought the sacred sword Ragnell, did you not?

Ike
It's right here. If using it is the only condition I need fulfill to defeat you, I will not hesitate!

Black Knight
It appears you've grown smarter. Good. There is no challenge in killing a fool. Shall we begin?

Mist
Brother!

Ike
Mist? No! Stay back!

Mist
I... I will fight you! I'll never let you kill my brother!

Ike
Mist, you--

Black Knight
Gawain's daughter, eh? Good. Now I can pull out the entire family tree by the root.

Ike
You're not to interfere, Mist! This craven wretch is mine!

Black Knight
Hmph! Do as you will. This time, we begin in earnest!

Ike attacks the Black Knight

Black Knight
What an odd fate. This will be the third time I have defeated you. The first was in the forest of Gallia. The second at Delbray in Crimea.

Ike
We've met twice, and I've lost twice. But the third time will be different.

Black Knight
Oh?

Ike
My sword-fighting skills were given to me by my father. If I stay true to them, I cannot lose.

Black Knight
Did you never think that using your father's techniques on the man who killed him would be futile?

Ike
My father robbed himself of using his stronger arm. If he had, he would not have lost to the likes of you.

Black Knight
Hah... You think so? Let us test your stronger arm then. Come, son of Gawain...Show me your strength.

Mist is alive and didn't escape

Daein Soldier
Protect the Black Knight!

Black Knight
Do not interfere! This man is my prey! I need no assistance.

Daein Soldier
Oh! Then...uh... Hey, get that girl! Kill her before she flees!

Ike
Get out of here, Mist!

Mist
No!! I'm not leaving you! I can protect myself. I won't run away!


Mist is dead or escaped

Daein Soldier
Protect the Black Knight!

Black Knight
Do not interfere! This man is my prey! I need no help!

Daein Soldier
Uh... Yes, sir! Understood!

Ike
...



Ike escapes

Black Knight
Will you flee? How appropriate. Tuck tail and run, child of Gawain! It is what dogs do best, after all. I like how you tremble with fear at the realization that you are no match for me. It suits you.

Ike
Foul villain! I do not flee. I will never turn my back on you and run away!

Black Knight is killed

Black Knight
You've grown stronger...I...commend you...


After battle

Killed the Black Knight

Killed the Black Knight

Ike
Haaaah... Haaaaa...

Daein Soldier
Th-the Black Knight's fallen! How can this be? D-don't... Don't think you're going to walk out of here, though!
Now! Activate the traps now!

Ike
What's going on? This rumbling...

Ena
...Nasir?

Nasir
Ena!

Ike
Mist, we have to go!

Mist
A-all right...

Ike
Hurry!

Ike
...Father......I...finally...I stopped him...Father...

Mist
B-Brother! Thank goodness...I'm so happy you're alive!

Ike
Mist... I avenged Father.

Mist
I know.

Ike
Even now, though, I'm not as good as Father was. There's no way I could ever defeat him...Defeating the Black Knight was my way...I wanted to show him how strong Father really was.

Mist
I know, Ike. I know.

Ike
Our Father was the best in the world...A great man.

Mist
That's right! Dad was great...and so was Mom...And so are you, Brother. I love you all! I'm so proud of my fantastic, wonderful family!

Titania
Ike! Mist! Both of you...You did so well...

Soren
...

Ike
I really had you worried, didn't I? But now it's--

Titania
Don't say anything. I understand.

Ike
Let's get back to the others...I can't do anything else today.

Mist
Right!

Ike
How's she doing?

Titania
She's going to be all right. She's sleeping in the back.

Ike
And Nasir?

Titania
He's there with her. He's been taking care of her the entire time.

Ike
I see.

Ike
Nasir.

Nasir
Ike. I am sorry for escaping and...causing all the problems I did. When we arrived in Crimea, I sensed Ena...I had to go and look for her.

Ike
Is that so?

Nasir
You...you saved her, didn't you? I don't know how to thank you.

Ike
I'm not worried about it. I just want you to talk to me. What's the connection between you and Ena?

Nasir
Ena...is my only granddaughter.

Ike
Your granddaughter? That can't be.You're not old enough to...

Nasir
It may be difficult for you beorc to believe, but...We of the dragon tribe live for a very, very long time. When we reach a certain maturity, we stop showing almost all signs of further aging. For example, do you remember Prince Kurthnaga whom you met in Goldoa?

Ike
Yeah, he was a nice kid.

Nasir
The prince is the youngest in all of Goldoa, yet for all his apparent youth, he's at least a hundred years old.

Ike
A hundred...

Nasir
Ike...

Ike
Yes?

Nasir
Why did you save Ena? She was your foe, after all...

Ike
You were willing to put yourself in danger so she could escape. I assumed she must be dear to you.

Nasir
You did that for a dirty traitor? Under the guise of providing information to Gallia, I gave the same information to Daein. I also took Mist's medallion and gave it to King Ashnard... And even so, you...

Ike
You helped us many times over. If there are reasons for all this, would you tell me about them? I'd like to help.

Nasir
I cannot. At least not yet...

Ike
That's not the answer I wanted, Nasir.

Nasir
Please. I want you to believe me. I am not your enemy. King Daein had Ena with him. For her sake, there was nothing else I could do. Forgive me.

Ike
Tell me, are you willing to display your loyalty?

Nasir
What do you mean?

Ike
Ashnard is in the Crimean capital. If we hope to defeat him, it would help to have the cooperation of one who's been close to him. If you're not our enemy, then prove it by aiding us.

Nasir
All right, I understand. On the strength of your belief in me, I swear I will not betray you again.

Ike
There's one other thing I need to hear. How much do you know about the medallion? Did you realize what it was when you gave it to Ashnard?

Nasir
I'm fairly sure that I know more about it than you do. I can't go into details, but... Merely gaining possession of the idol does not allow King Daein to release the dark god. The reason for that is--

Ike
The only one who can sing the galdr of release is a girl named Altina. Right?

Nasir
That's correct. I, too, investigated Palmeni Temple.

Ike
Yet King Daein doesn't know that, and he's kidnapped Leanne. Based on what happened in the past, who knows what he may do...

Nasir
Earlier, I was able to speak briefly with Ena. It sounded like she knew where the heron princess is being held. When she awakes, we shall ask her about it.

Past the turn limit or Ike escapes

Nasir
Ike!

Ike
Is that you, Nasir? What are you doing here?

Nasir
Ike, I'll take over from here. Hurry and leave this place.

Ike
You know I can't do that. Besides, the Black Knight can't be defeated--not without this blade.

Nasir
Ike, I cannot allow you to die here. Please...take care of the girl, Ena.

Black Knight
Nasir...I didn't expect to see you here. What a fool.

Ena
...Aahh......Ah! Nasir!

Black Knight
Uargh... Yet, that's not nearly enough...

Nasir
Ike! The castle's collapsing!! Get out now!

Black Knight
What's this? It can't be...this entire castle...I...Ungh! I-I can't move! This c-can't be...happening...

Nasir
...Ike. Now's your chance...Take...Ena. Take care of Ena!

Ike
Nasir!

Ena
Nasir...

Ena
...

Titania
Ike! Mist! Both of you...You did so well...

Soren
...
Ike
I really had you worried, didn't I? But now it's--

Titania
Don't say anything. I understand.

Ike
Let's get back to the others...I can't do anything else today.

Mist
Right!

Titania
Ike. She's awake.

Ike
Good.

Ike
How are you feeling?

Ena
Where am I?

Ike
In our camp.

Ena
...You saved me, didn't you? Why?

Ike
Because Nasir asked me to.

Ena
What? Where is he? I...I must speak to him!

Ike
Nasir is dead...

Ena
What?

Ike
He protected me and engaged the Black Knight. The castle fell around them both...

Ena
Is that...so...So, it wasn't a dream......

Ike
Just who...who were you to him? Why were you serving King Daein?

Ena
I am Ena... He... Nasir was my grandfather.

Ike
You're Nasir's granddaughter?

Ena
It seems impossible for beorc to believe it, but we of the dragon tribe live for thousands of years. Once we reach a certain maturity, we show no further outward signs of aging.

Ike
A thousand years... I can't begin to imagine.

Ena
And...um...about Nasir...You must be aware that he betrayed you. And yet you saved me. I, who had once been your enemy. Why?

Ike
Nasir helped us time and time again. No matter what, I couldn't see him as a true enemy. If there are reasons for all this, would you tell me about them? I'd like to help. In Nasir's stead.

Ena
I...I can't tell you now.

Ike
That's not the answer I was hoping for.

Ena
However, in payment of my debt to you, I can provide information. I will tell you where the heron princess is being held.

Ike
Ah. That's a good start.
