Azura: Hello, Avatar. What brings you here?

Avatar: I decided to take a little stroll. This breeze feels so heavenly!

Azura: Mmm. Yes! All of that sunshine filtering through the leaves reminds me of Hoshido.

Avatar: Haha! I envy you. In Nohr, we didn't have days filled with sunshine!

Azura: Oh, Avatar. How stupid of me!

Avatar: Huh?

Azura: That was thoughtless of me. I never should have brought that up! It should've been you in Hoshido all those years—basking in the sunlight!

Avatar: There's no need to feel bad. It's not like you kidnapped me and took me to Nohr!

Azura: I know, but I still feel guilty. I lived with the royal family and received all the love that should have been yours.

Avatar: Please, Azura, you shouldn't worry. My life hasn't been as hard as you think.

Azura: But I lived in Nohr! I know what that was like. It's a cruel place to grow up.

Avatar: That's true. Nohr can be a harsh place, but I have happy memories there too.

Azura: Really?

Avatar: Of course! I was just remembering this one time... Oh, no! I'm late for a meeting! I'm sorry. We'll have to continue this later!

Azura: Yes, I'd like that!

Azura: Avatar! I hoped to run into you. I'd like to hear more about your time in Nohr.

Avatar: Of course! Well, let's see... I lived in the Northern Fortress. It was pretty remote. Hmm... I wasn't allowed to go outside or have any friends.

Azura: That sounds terrible!

Avatar: Thinking back, it was hard. However, at the time, I never felt lonely. The servants were like family, and my brothers and sisters visited all the time. Elise came by to hang out every single day.

Azura: How sweet of her!

Avatar: ...And there was a huge library! You'd never run out of books to read in Nohr! Felicia, Jakob, and I even had a little book club. You see? I was too busy to feel alone.

Azura: Hmm. The Nohr you describe is so different from the one I remember.

Avatar: Well, I spent a lot of time there. It still feels like a part of me...like home.

Azura: It almost sounds like you miss it.

Avatar: I do. I miss the Northern Fortress. I even miss Castle Krakenburg.

Azura: One day, I'm sure you'll get to go back there.

Avatar: I hope so, but first, we have to defeat King Garon and end this war for good!

Azura: Avatar, you're always outside, aren't you?

Avatar: Haha! I came out here to unwind, but it's so windy!

Azura: Yes. I think a storm is coming.

Avatar: I haven't seen such a dark cloud since I left Nohr.

Azura: You must be thinking about how much you miss it. I see that wistful look on your face. It's hard to believe we lived in the same country. Our experiences were so different. I've listened to your stories, but it's hard to picture anything good happening there.

Avatar: I think many Hoshidans feel that way.

Azura: That's why we must bridge the gap. We must work together to end this war.

Avatar: I agree with you completely. We can't call one place good and another bad.

Azura: You and I are linked by fate. It's no coincidence that we're both here. If you and I work as a team, surely we can bring about peace.

Avatar: You know I'd do anything to make that happen! We're in this together, Azura.

Avatar: Hello, Azura. Thanks for meeting me here.

Azura: This is becoming your favorite spot, isn't it?

Avatar: Yes. It seemed like a fitting place to discuss something...uh...important.

Azura: Oh, my. You have a serious look on your face. Is everything all right?

Avatar: Yes, I'm fine. I've just been thinking about our conversations about Nohr. Even after our talks, I haven't changed your mind about Nohr, have I?

Azura: Well, not exactly...

Avatar: I realized all of my good memories of Nohr are thanks to a handful of kind people. Without Jakob and Felicia and my brothers and sisters, I would have been miserable.

Azura: So you do understand what I'm talking about after all. Nohr can be a cruel place!

Avatar: Yes, but no matter what, there are good people in this world who want to help. There are people who will love you no matter what it may cost them. There are people—right here, right now— who want to stand beside you.

Azura: Avatar, what are you saying?

Avatar: I want to be that person for you! They could throw us in a dark pit, and we'd be fine as long as we're together. I know it.

Azura: Avatar, I'm so happy to hear you say that.

Avatar: Really?

Azura: Yes! Our fates have been intertwined since the beginning. I believe we were always meant to walk through this life together.

Avatar: And now the path is bringing us to a peaceful place! I know it is!

Azura: I'm sure there will be plenty of sunshine when we get there.

(Confession Scene)

Azura: I...I love you too...Please forgive my many faults...and promise to stay with me, forever.

Avatar: Oh, no! Ugh!

Azura: Avatar? Is that you? What's going on?

Avatar: I'm fine! I was getting some water, and I dropped the glass. Be careful! There are broken shards everywhere!

Azura: What are you doing up at this hour? You look like you've seen a ghost!

Avatar: I-I'm all right. Really. It was just a bad dream.

Azura: Goodness! You must have been thrashing about. You're dripping sweat! Poor thing. Here, have a fresh glass of water.

Avatar: *gulp* *gulp* ...Ahhh! Thank you, Azura.

Azura: Did you want to talk about it? Your nightmare, I mean...

Avatar: Nah. It's no big deal.

Azura: Hmm. Your decision to side with Nohr is really troubling you, isn't it?

Avatar: Seriously, Azura? How do you figure this stuff out? I can't hide anything from you!

Azura: Well, I've suspected this for a few days now. You've been looking dejected. Also... There's the hand-wringing and the sighing and that pouty thing you do with your lips.

Avatar: All right. All right. I get it! ...The thing is, I know I made the right decision. I put a lot of thought into it. I really believe this is the best way to bring about peace. ...But I have nightmares every night about the Hoshidans I've killed!

Azura: Avatar, you knew this path wouldn't be easy when you chose it, right?

Avatar: Yes, that's true.

Azura: If you believe this path leads to peace, then you have to keep walking down that road.

Avatar: You're right. I can't give up just because it's hard. Thanks, Azura.

Avatar: Phew! My patrol is almost done for the night, and everything's nice and quiet. ...Hold up! Did that shadow just move?!

(Hoshidan ninja appears)

Avatar: *gasp* It's an enemy soldier!

Hoshidan: There you are, Avatar...Prince of Nohr! I'll kill you where you stand! GAAH!

Avatar: Ha! Nice try, but I'm not going down without a fight!

Hoshidan: Ugh! ARGH!

Avatar: *pant* *pant*

Azura: Avatar! What's going on?! ...Oh, my! Is that a soldier from Hoshido?!

Avatar: He slipped through our defenses somehow. Don't worry. He won't be getting back up.

Hoshidan: ...Y-you killed my whole family! You and the rest of Nohr! I-I'll never forgive you! Enjoy your life while it lasts! Death and punishment are coming for you! Just wait! Gahaha... Gufffpphh...!

(Hoshidan falls)

Azura: Avatar? Are you all right?

Avatar: Yes, I'm fine. I escaped without a scratch.

Azura: No, I mean—are YOU all right? That was hard to hear.

Avatar: I feel terrible. I robbed him of justice! I didn't want to kill him, but I had no choice!

Azura: He doesn't know why you sided with Nohr! Give up, and his death will be meaningless.

Avatar: It's easy for you to say that. You didn't kill him! Now he'll never avenge his family!

Azura: Hmm. I see. In that case, you SHOULD feel terrible.

Avatar: Wow. Thanks a lot, Azura.

Azura: No, listen... Just because you've chosen this path doesn't mean you have to like it. Get upset. Throw a fit. Cry into your pillow! I'd be worried if his death didn't upset you.

Avatar: You're right.

Azura: All we can do is keep pressing on. This won't be the last soldier who dies.

Avatar: That's why we have to end this thing!

Azura: Exactly! Just remember, Avatar... No matter what, I'm right here with you. Whenever you feel lost, I'll try to help you find your way again.

Avatar: Thank you, Azura. I don't know what I'd do without you.

A Support

Azura: Avatar! *gasp* Oh, thank goodness! I found you!

Avatar: Azura? What's wrong? ...And why are you so out of breath?

Azura: I came to warn you! There's been a breach! Another Hoshidan infiltrated our camp!

Avatar: What?!

(Hoshidan ninja appears)

Hoshidan: You're that prince from Nohr, aren't you?

Azura: Oh, no! He's already here!

Hoshidan: I'm here to avenge my friends! DIE!

Avatar: Uh...

Azura: Avatar! What's wrong with you?! He's drawing his weapon! Snap out of it!

Avatar: B-but...! (weapon clang)

Azura: Avatar? ...Fine! You leave me no choice. I'll fight him for you!

Hoshidan: ...Huh? She got me...?! N-no!

(Hoshidan falls)

Avatar: Azura, are you all right?!

Azura: Now that he's finished, I'm perfectly fine. The question is—Avatar, are you all right?

Avatar: Yeah. I don't know what happened. I just froze! I'm so sorry. I put both of our lives in danger. I can't believe I'm so pathetic!

Azura: You're not pathetic! You're human—like the rest of us. You care about people! I know you're tired of having blood on your hands. I won't let you do it alone anymore. Now my hands are just as stained as yours. When you can't go on, I'll fight for you.

Avatar: Do you really mean that?

Azura: Absolutely! We're going to walk this bloodstained path until we reach the end.

Avatar: All right. I won't hesitate next time. If we're going down, we'll go together.

Azura: I'll be by your side every step of the way. I promise.

Avatar: Azura, do you have a minute?

Azura: Of course, but it's so late! You didn't have another nightmare, did you?

Avatar: No. I haven't had another nightmare since we talked. I'm doing much better now.

Azura: You are better, aren't you?

Avatar: Thanks to you. That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about.

Azura: Oh?

Avatar: The other day, you promised to be by my side. That made such a difference to me. Now, I know that I'm not in this alone anymore.

Azura: Well, it's true. You're not alone.

Avatar: ...But the thing is, I don't want blood on your hands either!

Azura: Oh, my! Avatar, that was just a metaphor.

Avatar: I know! But I care about you! ...And not just as an ally or a friend... Azura, I love you. I would do anything to protect you.

Azura: What?!

Avatar: I can't bear the thought of dragging you down with me! I'd rather know you were unburdened by guilt than have you by my side, suffering.

Azura: Avatar, you have a kind heart. I'm not surprised you feel that way. What if things didn't have to end so badly? Let's make a new promise! What if we keep walking this road until we end up someplace full of hope?

Avatar: Do you really think that's possible?

Azura: Yes! Avatar, I love you! Let's keep pressing on until we find peace!

(Confession Scene)

Azura: I finally know what true happiness is. No matter what happens, dear love...I will always be with you.

Revelation

Avatar: A small lake in the middle of the woods... Reminds me of where I once met Azura.

Azura: Oh, hello, Avatar. What brings you out here?

Avatar: I was looking for you, in fact. I apologize if I interrupted your singing.

Azura: It's no trouble. Is there something I can help you with today?

Avatar: I actually wanted to talk with you about something I realized. I believe that you and I are in a unique position regarding Nohr and Hoshido. I'm a prince of Hoshido who was raised in Nohr, and... You're a princess of Nohr who was raised in Hoshido.

Azura: Ahhh, I see what you mean. I agree that we're pretty unique.

Avatar: Because of this background, I think we may have interesting views on the countries. I wanted to talk with you and compare what we each believed.

Azura: That is quite interesting...

Avatar: We could start with Hoshido. From my perspective, it seems so warm and bright. The land is fertile, and it seems like no one is ever wanting for anything.

Azura: A valid observation. This bountifulness makes everyone amiable and respectful.

Avatar: And yet, they always have the threat of a Nohrian invasion hanging over them.

Azura: Indeed. Which is quite unfair; Nohr is always the aggressor, and without reason.

Avatar: That does seem to be the case, but... What if you considered the Nohrian side? Can you try to imagine how the people in Nohr view Hoshido?

Azura: I suppose the carefree attitude of Hoshido might look like indifference to others. It could give people the impression that Hoshidans are very self-centered. So long as there is peace, the people in Hoshido seem uninterested in the world.

Avatar: I hadn't ever heard that opinion before, but I think it could have some merit. It could be one of the reasons that Nohr dislikes Hoshido so much.

Azura: I'm glad to be able to look at this situation with a new perspective. I'm sure we'd benefit from continuing this conversation...

Avatar: I agree, though we'll have to continue at another time. The day has only just started, and there is a lot to do. Until next time, Azura!

B Support

Azura: Hello, Avatar. You've come calling again?

Avatar: Indeed. I was hoping we could continue the conversation we were having the other day.

Azura: Of course. We were going to talk about Nohr, were we not?

Avatar: Yes. I spent most of my life in Nohr, and I can safely say it was always gloomy. Besides the dark forests, there was very little plant life among the rocky terrain. From what I've read, most of the land is tundra and bad for farming...

Azura: I've always heard that the people of Nohr are especially cold to outsiders. It's almost like the world they live in has deeply influenced their mentalities.

Avatar: You can dismiss that thinking, though. I know many Nohrians who are kindhearted. Just look at our allies from Nohr if you want proof that that is a misconception.

Azura: Interesting. Like with Hoshido, if we look at Nohr with a different perspective... we both learn a bit more. Nohr has invaded other regions many times over the years, but talking about it now... It could be that their biggest motivation has been jealousy or feeling alienated. After all, anyone would get upset if they were often made to feel inferior.

Avatar: And if that's how Hoshido made Nohrians feel, even accidentally, it's good to know. It doesn't excuse Nohrian actions, but it does help understand them.

Azura: And by understanding, we might be a step closer to bringing peace to the world. If we can find a way to ease the tensions that both nations feel...

Avatar: First, we have to eliminate the evil that is getting in the way. But that's for another time, I think. There are many things to do today.

Azura: You're right. I'd be glad to continue this conversation later.

Azura: Hi, Avatar. Are you here to continue our chat from the other day?

Avatar: Indeed I am! We've already covered Nohr and Hoshido, so we should talk about—

Azura: NO!! Sorry, I mean... You know how it works. You can't say anything here... I can take us there through the lake, and then we can talk.

Avatar: Oh, of course. What was I thinking?

Azura: We'll be there in just another few moments. ...

Azura: And here we are. Easy enough.

Avatar: It's still so strange to see this place. It's unlike anything in Hoshido or Nohr.

Azura: Now that we're in Valla, we can safely talk about it. It...is what you wanted to talk about, right?

Avatar: Yes. I don't know why the curse slipped my mind.

Azura: You know, Avatar, it isn't really the kingdom of Valla that is a problem. The entire conflict is a result of the will of Anankos.

Avatar: That's right... Anankos, the King of Valla. I was only able to find the occasional mention of him in ancient texts. Usually he was referred to as a sort of god, right?

Azura: Whether he is a demon or a god, I am not sure, but he possesses incredible power. I've heard a legend about how, long ago, a powerful entity gave humans great power. In return, he required their faithfulness. Though this alliance was meant to last for all time, the humans did not honor it. Over time they discovered and acquired power from other sources. As they did this, they slowly abandoned the entity that had aided them. Insulted by this betrayal, the being went berserk.

Avatar: And that being... It was Anankos?

Azura: There is no way to know for sure, sadly. It would explain why he's out to destroy Nohr and Hoshido, though.

Avatar: What a sad story.

Azura: Indeed. But it also teaches us an important lesson, I think. We've talked about the conflict between Nohr and Hoshido... This story teaches us what can result from holding a grudge for too long.

Avatar: I agree. We have to focus on what we can do to improve the world... It may mean that we sometimes have to fight, but it doesn't always have to. Anytime we can turn an enemy into an ally, we should at least try. (weapon clang)

Azura: Indeed. But we've drifted from our topic... We should head back. It's dangerous to be here by ourselves.

Avatar: Very well.

Azura: Thanks for the conversation, Avatar. Time flies, and I feel like we grow a lot each time we talk.

Avatar: I feel the same. I think we've discovered a special connection between us. I'll always cherish this special friendship.

Azura: Likewise. Until next time, Avatar. I will do the same. Looking forward to spending more time with you, Avatar.

Avatar: I wonder if I'll find Azura by that lake again. Can't hurt to check... Is that a shadow over there? I think so... It must be her!

Azura: ...

Avatar: Oh. Oh! I'm sorry!

Azura: What?! Who's over there?!

Avatar: It's me! I'm sorry, Azura! I didn't realize that you'd be bathing...

Azura: Avatar... Could you turn around? I need to dress.

Avatar: O-of course! I'm sorry...

(Azura leaves)

Azura: OK, you can turn around.

Avatar: I can't stop apologizing, Azura. I was coming here to talk to you, and... I didn't see anything, I swear!

Azura: Nothing at all? I had a feeling someone was around for a bit before you spoke up...

Avatar: Well... OK, maybe I saw your back. But only for a moment!

Azura: ...

Avatar: You're a beautiful woman, Azura! I couldn't look away.

Azura: But peeping on someone who is bathing? That's just...ugh. I'm a bit upset, but I'll forgive you this one time.

Avatar: Thank you, Azura. I promise to be more aware and more careful. I wouldn't want to end up on your bad side. Especially now that, well...

Azura: Pardon me? You kind of trailed off there, Avatar.

Avatar: I've been thinking, since we had our last conversation... Talking about the major kingdoms, and the reasons for this war we fight... All the mysteries that surround things in the world just didn't seem as important.

Azura: What are you talking about?

Avatar: We could have been talking about the shade of the color of the sky... What was important was being able to spend that time with you.

Azura: Oh, Avatar... Honestly, I've been trying to find a way to tell you that I feel exactly the same.

Avatar: What...?

Azura: I also really, really enjoyed just talking with you all that time. I want to believe it was fate that you and I came together. Two people like us, with pasts so similar to each other... It could only have been meant to be.

Avatar: I think so, too.

Azura: Whatever happens in the world... I believe that you and I are tied together, and what binds us is stronger than all else.

Avatar: I'll stay by your side, Azura. We can take on the entire world if we have to!

Azura: We'll always be together!

(Confession Scene)

Azura: I somehow feel that I have always loved you...Together we will save this world. Please, never let me go...
