Under the guidance of Archsage Gato, Marth and the others headed to Macedonia’s north, to the “Dragons’ Dale”.
It is an undeveloped region populated with flying dragons, and ruled by barbarians.
But, there is no time to stop, because the fate of the world is in Marth’s hands!

Pre-battle

Marth:
Jeigan, where is this?
Is this Macedonia, or Durhua?
Jeigan:
We’re right at the countries’ border.
This is where Macedonia’s dragons are born.
However, these lands are ruled by savage barbarians.
Even Macedonia’s soldiers are afraid to enter here.
Marth:
So this is the Dragons’ Dale…
Anyway, Jeigan, we need to hurry.
I feel like something is going to happen to my sister and the others.
I have a bad feeling.

Villages

Marth:
Prince Misheil!?
What are you doing here?
And you’ve suffered a grave wound.
What happened?
Misheil:
…Marth…
…I have been waiting… for you…
Marth:
Huh!?
Misheil:
…Take this…
Marth:
…!
This is the Starlight tome.
You’re giving it to me!?
Misheil:
That’s right…
Garnef… Only with this spell can he be harmed.
I managed to take it back from his possession…
Marth:
Garnef!?
Where is he now?
Misheil:
The Dragons’ Altar…
Ha… I was careless…
I could be…
Defeated by Garnef…
Marth… Good luck…
I’m already finished.
If Minerva is still around…
Tell her to… In my place…
Rescue Maria…
Marth:
Misheil!
Misheil:
Your highness…
I leave Maria’s fate to you… Urgh.

Uncle:
This is the Dragons’ Dale.
Don’t go any further.
Otherwise I fear you’ll be burnt to death by the dragons.

Male villager:
On the other side of the mountains is a small hill, called the Dragons’ Altar.
Recently, there have been eerie roaring sounds coming from there.
Grandfather and the others are afraid a demon is about to awaken.
You mustn’t get close to that place.

Chapter end

Marth:
So this is the Dragons’ Altar, where the Divine Dragon Narga sealed away the Earth Dragons…
But, wasn’t Mediuth the guardian of the altar…?
Gato:
Mediuth could not tolerate the humans’ actions against the Mamkutes.
So he gathered the other dragon tribes and formed the Durhua Empire, to destroy mankind.
First he was defeated by Anri, and second by you.
But, Earth Dragons can’t be destroyed easily due to their powerful life force…
Mediuth is now sleeping in the altar.
Marth:
He’s going to resurrect again!?
Gato:
No, even an Earth Dragon shouldn’t wake within a hundred years.
Mediuth is now changing his form.
When he next awakens, he will become a fearful Dark Dragon…
No… Could it be…
So that’s why… Why Garnef…
Marth:
Huh, what is it, Gato!?
Gato:
Prince Marth, I finally understand why the sisters have been taken.
Garnef plans to use them to resurrect Mediuth.
To awaken a dragon requires the life force of females with pure and noble blood.
Garnef knew about this, so he went to capture the sisters.
Marth:
So my sister and the others are inside the altar?
Gato:
Mmm…
Marth, we must hurry.
The sisters are in grave danger.
Mediuth…
He is going to resurrect once again!!
