Chapter 12x: The Axe of Lightning



On the World Map

Following Elphin’s lead, Roy headed for the cave near Djuto to find the Divine Weapon hidden there. Little did they know that they weren’t the only ones who knew about the cave…

Opening Cutscene

Grero:
“So this is the end of the caaave? Treeaasure… Where are yooouuu… Answer meee…”

Bandit:
“Boss…you sure about this? Bern told us to block the entrance to the cave. If they catch us now, we’ll be sent back to prison!”

Grero:
“Idiooot! We’re gonna bury this cave anywaaay… Sooo they ain’t gonna know that we took the treeaasure… If we bury the cave without taking the treasure, no one’s gonna be able to fiiind it… Have ya ever thought about how the treasure would feel theeen!”

Bandit:
“Well… Guess you’re right.”

(Another Bandit appears)

Bandit:
“Boss! We’ve got company!”

Grero:
“Whaaaat? So they think they’re gonna take our treasure do theeey? Have the boys near the entrace take them ooouut… And grab all the treasure chests… They’re mine nooowwww!”

(Scene switches to Roy)

Roy:
“So this is the cave… It’s pretty dark in here.”

Elphin:
“I have heard from a scholar in Djuto that the Divine Weapon hidden here is the Armads, the Axe of Lightning.”

Roy:
“Armads… This time it’s an axe, not a sword.”

Elphin:
“The Armads was used by Durban the Berserker, the largest and most muscular of the Eight Heroes. A swing from his axe must have been a sight to see indeed.”

Roy:
“Elphin, you certainly know a lot about the Eight Heroes and the Divine Weapons.”

Elphin:
“I am a bard, Master Roy. I know many myths and legends.”

Roy:
“I see. I’d like to hear some of them when we have the time.”

Elphin:
“Of course. …Master Roy, it appears that we have company in this cave.”

Roy:
“We do?”

Elphin:
“There are also some strange fumes coming out of the walls. We must proceed with caution.”

Battle with Grero

Grero:
“Daaaahhhhhh! Rah!”

Defeating Grero

Grero:
“Guh…”

After Beating the Map

Roy:
“Where is the Divine Weapon?”

Elphin:
“Hm… I can hear wind coming from behind the throne…”

Roy:
“What? I can’t hear it… Wait, there’s a little niche between the floor and wall… Oh! It opened! …Is this the Divine Weapon? This axe is huge.”

Elphin:
“The Armads…Durban’s axe. It certainly seems fit for a mighty warrior.”

(A Soldier appears)

Soldier:
“R-Report! I have a message from Etruria… A coup d’etat has broken out at the Etrurian castle city of Aquleia!”

Merlinus:
“What!”

Soldier:
“The initiators are Advisor Roartz and Lord Arcard. They have caputred King Mordred, and have announced their plan of dividing ownership of the world between Bern and Etruria!”

Merlinus:
“No… The two strongest nations in Elibe joining forces…”

Roy:
“Is General Cecilia all right!? And what about Princess Guinevere…”

Soldier:
“We do not have any accurate information… But we have word that the Three Etrurain Generals have been separated. Sorcery General Cecilia has escaped Aquleia and is headed for the Misul Peninsula in the west.”

Roy:
“What about the other Generals?”

Soldier:
“With King Mordred taken hostage, they have been forced to join the Revolutionaries.”

Merlinus:
“Master Roy…”

Roy:
“We need to contact General Cecilia… Princess Guinevere…General Cecilia… Please be safe…”
