Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem
Script translation (Book 1)
Chapter 16: Black
Knight Camus
Map opening
The Kingdom of Grunia is a knights’ country, which was founded by one
of the three heroes of the liberation wars, General Ohdwin.
Since the country’s formation, the neighbouring tribes were conquered
by its mighty knights.
And finally it became one of the strongest of Akaneia’s seven kingdoms.
However, the current King, Louie, was weak.
He feared the power of the resurrected Mediuth, and so allied with
Durhua.
Also, following several consecutive defeats, he fell dangerously ill.
The once brave and mighty Kingdom of Grunia has finally entered the age
of ruin.
Pre-battle
Nina:
Prince Marth.
About Grunia, there is something that I wish to tell you.
You should know that Grunia’s famous Black Knights are led by General
Camus.
3 years ago, Akaneia was occupied by his men.
I was also captured by him.
Durhua wanted the entire Akaneia royal family to be killed, and they
prepared to kill the sole survivor, me.
But Camus didn’t fear Durhua’s Dark Earth Dragon, Mediuth, and he
constantly protected the young me.
Once he discovered that Mediuth had sent his personal guards, he had me
escape to Orleans.
Afterwards, he was only held captive until recently, because he had won
many victories for Durhua.
At first I really hated him....
But now, no matter what, I cannot find it in myself to do so...
If possible, I don’t want to fight against him.
....I just want to see him one more time...
Villages
Grandfather:
Oh, Lord Marth, you finally came.
Is my granddaughter, Rena, alright?
This repair staff, Hammerne, has been passed down by
my family.
Please take it.
However it can only repair weapons, so take notice
when you use it.
Recruiting Lawrence
Sheeda:
General Lawrence, I am Sheeda of Talis.
I have heard much about you from my father.
Lawrence:
Ah, Princess Sheeda.
You have become more beautiful now.
I really must thank your father, for his care in the
past.
Sheeda:
General, you’re opposed to Grunia allying
with the Durhua Empire, right?
Why didn’t you stop them?
Lawrence:
The current King of Grunia is a weak and
cowardly man.
He feared Durhua’s enormous strength.
Sheeda:
General.
Durhua wishes to use Mamkutes to conquer humans.
For Grunia, and for the innocent people of this
world, we must stop Durhua’s ambitions.
General, please stop fighting, and please help us.
Lawrence:
Uh... But...
Well... I was ordered by my king to fight, but times
have changed.
I understand, Princess Sheeda.
Even though betraying my country is wrong, I will
still join your cause.
Recruiting Est
Est:
Ah, are you Lord Marth?
I am Est of Macedonia!
I was captured when I tried to recover the stolen Miracle Sword from
the Grunian army.
But that young knight, Camus, rescued me and I was able to escape.
This is the Miracle Sword, a truly impressive sword, no?
But, can your highness wield it?
Marth nears Camus
Marth:
General Camus.
I don’t want to fight you.
You should understand that this battle is
meaningless.
Nina also wants to see you.
Please forget about the past, and drop your sword.
Camus:
Prince Marth...
It’s already too late...
My homeland, Grunia, must help Durhua achieve its
ambitions.
It is my duty, as a member of the glorious Grunian
Knights, to fight until the very end.
And besides, I caused your father’s death...
Why don’t we just end everything here?
Nina:
Wait, Camus... I beg of you.
Your fight with Prince Marth isn’t what I wish to
see.
Please... I beg of you, help us... No, help me.
Camus:
I’m sorry... Nina.
If possible, I would like that.
But... Betraying my homeland, right as it nears
ruin, is something that I cannot do.
Nina...
Our days together may have been short, but I was
very happy.
...Farewell.
I pray for your happiness.
Versus Lawrence
Lawrence:
The glorious Kingdom of Grunia is finished...
Your highness, this was all because of you...
Lawrence falls
Lawrence:
This is fate...
Versus Camus
Camus:
It’s such a shame.
As long as I have the Gradius, I will not fall.
You guys are out of luck, give it up.
Camus falls
Camus:
Nina...
Farewell...
Chapter end
Marth:
Nina... I’m sorry.
I couldn’t fulfil my promise to you...
Nina:
No, Marth...
You have also suffered.
I’m sorry.
...Really.
I already knew that this would happen.
Since the time I handed the Emblem to you, I knew
that...
The Fire Emblem must be used to restore the royal
family.
But there is a price to pay, which is to lose your
most loved one.
That is the curse of the Emblem...
The fate of Artemis.
