On the World Map

After saving the hidden village of Arcadia, the Lycia Alliance Army followed Igrene out of the desert.

Roy’s next task was to confront the Revolutionaries in Etruria. However, a messenger from Nabata came to him with disturbing news.

Fa, the little Dragon girl, had left Arcadia, following Roy. It would be a disaster if the Revolutionaries or Bern got their hands on her.”

Bent on finding her before the enemy, Roy led his forces toward a small fort on the Etrurian border.

Opening Cutscene

(Inside castle)

Soldier:
“General Raeth, about the girl we captured earlier…”

Raeth:
“Girl? That one that was scurrying around the outskirts of the castle? Are you still worrying yourself over that thing? Just throw her out.”

Soldier:
“But sir, she was carrying this.”

Raeth:
“? Is this…a Dragon Stone?”

Soldier:
“…That is also what I thought, so I decided to report.”

Raeth:
“Have you ever seen a Dragon Stone before?”

Soldier:
“Yes, when we invaded Lycia. The Dragons were carrying them when they were in their human form.”

Raeth:
“…But it looks different from the ones that they have. Either way, it has to do with the Dragons. We should inform King Zephiel and follow his instructions. Make sure the girl doesn’t get away!”

(If you didn’t get Percival to join in Ch 13)

(Percival, his troops and Douglas appear in the topleft of the map as enemies)

Douglas:
“Percival, don’t strain yourself here.”

Percival:
“Lord Douglas, please do not worry about me. You must return to King Mordred’s side.”

Douglas:
“Hmph, defeating the Lycia Alliance Army is not a task that requires the Knight General’s assistance. …Roartz, that snake.”

Percival:
“He is wary of my turning against him. He must be thinking that I would try and murder him in his sleep if I were stationed at Aquleia.”

Douglas:
“That man, worrying about traitors? Ha! He shouldn’t be the one to talk. Why, he was first to betray his loyalty to the king! The bastard.”

Percival:
“Well, Lord Douglas, it just goes to show that not many have such loyalty as you.”

Douglas:
“Rubbish. Look at yourself.”

Percival:
“…I had no hesitations when Prince Mildain was alive. I never doubted my loyalty to him, or to the wellbeing of Etruria. This mission is to protect the king’s life… That…should be enough reason to fight…”

Douglas:
“Do you hesitate now?”

Percival:
“Yes, slightly. But it matters not. Nothing will change even if I do.”

Douglas:
“I see… Percival, my speech from this point forth is merely to myself. Do not reply to it.”

Percival:
“……”

Douglas:
“Etruria…will most certainly fall with the king before this war ends.”

Percival:
“!! Lord Douglas!?”

Douglas:
“Listen! No matter what happens, I will stay by the king’s side. But you, Percival, you are different. You are the one who will lead Etruria’s future. I cannot say when, but I firmly believe that Etruria will be blessed with prosperity once more. So Percival, you must leave Etruria and wait until that time comes.”

Percival:
“Lord Douglas! What does…”

Soldier:
“General Percival! We have spotted the Lycia Alliance Army up ahead! What are your orders, sir?”

Douglas:
“Now go! I shall return to Aquleia.”

(Douglas leaves)

Percival:
“… Move forth! Pursue the Lycia Alliance Army!”

(Scene switches to Roy)

Roy:
“Is that the castle where Fa was taken?”

Merlinus:
“Yes. The locals have witnessed it.”

Igrene:
“Roy, I apologize on behalf of my people for the inconvenience… I know we must hurry toward Aquleia.”

Roy:
“No, please don’t worry about it. If she were to fall into the hands of Bern, that in itself would be a disaster.”

Igrene:
“She should be safe as long as she remains in her human form and doesn’t show anyone her Dragon Stone.”

Roy:
“Dragon Stone?”

Igrene:
“Yes. When Dragons are in their human form, they seal their powers into crystals called Dragon Stones. It is said that it takes vast amounts of energy for Dragons to maintain their actual form in this world, so they typically remain in human form to minimize energy consumption.”

Roy:
“Maybe the ‘human not human’ was in human form for the same reason.”

Igrene:
“Most likely. It is also said that Dragons only started taking human after the Scouring ended.”

Roy:
“Since the Scouring…?”

Igrene:
“Yes…”

Merlinus:
“Master Roy, the spy we sent to the castle has returned.”

Roy:
“What did he find out?”

Merlinus:
“He said that a large number of troops have been coming out of the castle. They seem to be fortifying their defenses.”

Roy:
“Oh… Maybe they found out that Fa is a Dragon.”

Merlinus:
“The border guards also seem to have noticed us…”

Roy:
“We have to do this quickly.”

(Igrene joins automatically when you start the map)

3rd Turn

(Garret and some Bandits appear from the mountains)

Garret:
“This is gonna be a battlefield, too…”

Bandit:
“What do we do, Boss?”

Garret:
“The army’s gonna loot the villages anyway. I suppose we better ransack
’em while we can.”

Bandit:
“Awright, Boss!”

Garret:
“But make sure you don’t do any unnecessary killing, you got that?”

Bandit:
“Got it…”

(Garret leaves)

Bandit:
“He’s too nice… Well, I guess we can make it the army’s fault.”

(Garret and the Bandits start to move to loot the villages)

10th Turn

Soldier:
“General Raeth, the reinforcements are ready!”

Raeth:
“Good. Send them out.”

Soldier:
“Yes, sir.”

Conversation (Elphin, Percival)

Elphin:
“Percival. It is good to see you again.”

Percival:
“!! You…”

Elphin:
“Have you forgotten my face?”

Percival:
“No…it cannot be. The prince…is dead.”

Elphin:
“…I understand your confusion. After all, a man who was pronounced dead is now standing before your very eyes.”

Percival:
“Prince Mildain! You were alive…?”

Elphin:
“I have troubled you for a long time now. …It has been over a year since I was assassinated.”

Percival:
“Assassinated!? Your Majesty, did you not fall off your horse in an accident?”

Elphin:
“No. I was shot with a poisoned arrow. First to my horse…and then to me.”

Percival:
“No…”

Elphin:
“Douglas noticed first and made it public that I had been killed. A different corpse was placed in the coffin, and everything was set up as if the assassination had been successful. Douglas then entrusted me to his adopted daughter and let me escape to the Western Isles.”

Percival:
“Lord Douglas did that…”

Elphin:
“Even after I escaped to the west, I suffered from a high fever caused by the poison for many months. I was hovering between life and death so long that Douglas’ daughter gave up hope countless times.”

Percival:
“……”

Elphin:
“The rebel forces helped me by giving me medicine. Ironic, isn’t it? The very rebels who were fighting against the Etrurian court had saved the life the prince himself!”

Percival:
“……”

Elphin:
“I recovered…slowly. And then I saw the horrors being committed by the Etrurian nobles on the Isles. I was ashamed that I had not noticed when I was still residing on the throne.”

Percival:
“Your Majesty…”

Elphin:
“While aiding the rebels, I was looking for a chance to return to the mainland. Then General Roy came along, and I saw my chance. And that is how I ended up here.”

Percival:
“Prince… I am truly thankful that you returned alive.”

Elphin:
“I am with the Lycia Alliance Army right now, but I still must hide my true identity. And if I still have the loyalty that you pledged to me in the past…”

Percival:
“I am at your service, Your Majesty. My master is only one, and he is you, Prince Mildain.”

(Percival joins. His troops become NPC units)

Conversation (Lalam, Percival)

Lalam:
“General Percival! It is you, isn’t it? I was looking for you! I am…”

Lalam: (stepping back)
“Wait! Wait! Stop your horse! Listen to me!”

Percival:
“Who are you?”

Lalam:
“Don’t you know!? I thought we’d met before.”

Percival:
“…I sort of recall seeing you at Lord Douglas’ manor…”

Lalam:
“Yes! That’s me. You do know me, then!”

Percival:
“But the girl I saw there was a little more…ordinary.”

Lalam:
“What’s that supposed to mean? Ah, no matter. Anyway, my name is Lalam. I’m here under the command of Prince Mildain.”

Percival:
“Prince Mildain…? Don’t be daft. The prince was killed in an accident the year before.”

Lalam:
“Well… Look at this!”

Percival:
“!! That emblem… It belongs to the prince…!”

Lalam:
“Now do I have your attention? Then take a look at this letter, too. The prince told me to give it to you.”

Percival:
“…… This is the prince’s handwriting… So he is alive! Then I hesitate no more. If the prince has joined the Lycia Alliance Army, then I must do the same.”

Lalam:
“Wha-? That was quick… I was hoping things to get more dramatic… Like, ‘If you’re still going to stand against us, then you’re going to cut me down first!’ or something like that…”

(Percival joins. His troops become NPC units)

Conversation (Lilina, Garret)

Lilina:
“Wait!”

Garret:
“What? Who are you?”

Lilina:
“Why? Why do you attack the villages?”

Garret:
“Eh? Who do you think you are?”

Lilina:
“Tell me why you’re attacking the villages!”

Garret:
“Why? …Well, I could say that it’s your fault.”

Lilina:
“Our fault…?”

Garret:
“Yup. Because you idiots are causing wars like this, there are more and more people like me who have to steal to get food.”

Lilina:
“We are fighting to help people like that.”

Garret:
“Right, I’ve heard that enough times now. Look at reality, kid. They all say that they’re trying to help, but it’s all words and empty promises. Where’s the action? You got your head in the clouds, and you just can’t see what goes on on the ground. Get it? Now out of my way.”

Lilina:
“…No.”

Garret:
“What!? Listen, I ain’t playing games with you. If you don’t get the hell out of my way…”

Lilina:
“I won’t move. If you want to kill me, then you may do as you wish.”

Garret:
“What…”

Lilina:
“If I let you pass, I would just be another one of those people who you say are all talk and no action. I am telling the truth! We are fighting to help the people.”

Garret:
“You… Hehe… I never thought I’d meet anyone so naive.”

Lilina:
“Do you…laugh at us…?”

Garret:
“But still, it’s nice to hear once in a while.”

Lilina:
“Then…”

Garret:
“All right, you win. I’ll stop looting. But you gotta let me fight with you guys. I gotta see with my own eyes that you’re gonna be true to your words.”

Lilina:
“Thank you. If you fight alongside us, I’m sure you will understand.”

Garret:
“Well, you certainly seem confident about that. I’m Garret. And you’re…”

Lilina:
“Lilina.”

Garret:
“Lilina? Well, then, I’m pleased to make your acquaintance, milady.”

(Garret joins)

Battle with Raeth

Raeth:
“Hmm… There must be a reason that you attack this castle… But what…?”

Defeating Raeth

Raeth:
“Gah…! That girl…she isn’t human, is she! Why…do you seek her…! To use her power…? …!”

After Beating the Map

Merlinus:
“Master Roy, here she is!”

Roy:
“You found her? All right, I’m coming!”

Merlinus:
“Now, young lady, thank Master Roy.”

Fa:
“…Sniff, sniff…”

Roy:
“It’s okay, Merlinus. …Now, why did you follow us?”

Fa:
“Fa just wanted to see the outside world…”

Merlinus:
“What! For such a reason… Do you know how much trouble you have caused?”

Fa:
“But…but… Fa’s never, ever allowed outside! The elders say that Fa has to be hidden… Fa is always all alone…all locked up in her room…”

Roy:
“……”

Merlinus:
“Master Roy, what shall we do?”

Roy:
“…You’ve suffered a lot. But do you understand that you’ve worried the elders and caused a lot of inconvenience?”

Fa:
“Fa’s sorry…”

Roy:
“Really sorry?”

Fa:
“Yes.”

Roy:
“Well, then, you can come with us.”

Fa:
“Really!?”

Merlinus:
“Are you sure?”

Roy:
“The enemy might already know about her. In that case, it’s better to have her where we can see her rather than letting her go off on her own back to Arcadia.”

Fa:
“Yay!”

Merlinus:
“Hush! Don’t get too excited.”

Roy:
“But you mustn’t go off alone anymore. Promise?”

Fa:
“Yes! Fa promises!”

(If Percival’s troops (NPC) all survived)

Soldier:
“General Percival, until further instructions are given, we will station ourselves in this castle and prepare for further attacks from the Revolutionaries.”

Percival:
“Good.”

Soldier:
“Here, we found this in the castle. Please take it. General Percival, please take care…of Etruria.”

Percival:
“I know. Leave it to me.”

Soldier:
“Yes!”
