Inside Bern Castle

Guinevere:
“Zephiel…”

Roy:
“…Princess Guinevere.”

Guinevere:
“I’m sorry… Please leave me alone for a while…”

Roy:
“Princess…!”

Merlinus:
“Master Roy… We should let her be.”

Elphin:
“…Allow me.”

Roy:
“Elphin!”

Elphin:
“Yes?”

Roy:
“…Thank you. I knew you had your own problems with your own nation… But you helped us. I must thank you…”

Elphin:
“…I don’t quite understand what you mean…but if I have been helpful, then you are most welcome.”

Roy:
“Yes.”

(Elphin leaves)

Roy:
“…Control over humans by humans…”

Merlinus:
“Zephiel’s words? Perhaps he was right…in a way.”

Roy:
“…Has the Dark Priestess been found?”

Merlinus:
“No… Apparently she disappeared before the battle.”

Roy:
“I see… Do you think she’s really the Dark Dragon?”

Merlinus:
“I wouldn’t know unless I actually saw her. It’s going to be difficult to find her because she is said to clad in a black robe, and no one has ever seen her up close.”

Roy:
“Oh… But the battle is now over.”

Merlinus:
“What are you saying, Master Roy! The hard part has yet to come. We must help the land recover from the war. There are people out there who need our assistance.”

Roy:
“Right! We have work to do. The real battle may be just beginning.”

Merlinus:
“Yes. We are alive, so we must think about the future.”

Roy:
“No matter what hardships are to come, I will never give up. We have to show that even humans can construct a beautiful and peaceful world!”

Merlinus:
“Master Roy, you will have me at your side, always. Now, let us leave the castle for now. We must spread the word of victory!”

Epilogue

And thus, the battle known later as the Great Movement of Bern was resolved.

With Zephiel’s death, Bern surrendered to Etruria. Etruria dismantled its government, but after careful consideration, avoided directly administering its reconstruction.

With Roy’s help, Guinevere took the throne and the New Kingdom of Bern was established. Many of the nobles of Bern expressed their discontent at Guinevere handing over the Fire Emblem to the former enemy, but with her efforts and hard work, she cut open a new path of recovery for Bern.

While the Dark Priestess was never found, peace was restored, and Elibe was set for a new age of prosperity led by Etruria.

Elibe regained its former peace and balance. Centuries after Roy’s time, the nations in Elibe were united under a single flag, but that is another story for another time…
