Opening 1
Lumera: Here we are. We are safe within these walls.
Alear: So this is Lythos Castle. It’s beautiful.
Lumera: I’m glad you think so, _____.
Lumera: Though you may not remember this place, I’ve long waited to welcome you back here.
Lumera: Welcome home, _____.
Alear: …
Alear: I’m home?
Lumera: Yes, you are.
Lumera: Ah, I feel overwhelmed with joy. I may cry.
Vander: Queen Lumera…
Lumera: Vander. Clanne. Framme. Thank you for all you’ve done. You are worthy stewards indeed.
Lumera: You and your predecessors, watching over my child all these years… I am ever so grateful.
Vander: You are too kind.
Clanne: Yeah, it’s awful nice of you to say that! I’m starting to feel woozy…
Framme: Aw yeah! Go us! We just got praised by Queen Lumera herself!
Lumera: The happiness of this moment aside, I am troubled to see the Corrupted here in Lythos.
Alear: The Corrupted?
Lumera: Those enemies you were fighting out on the grasslands.
Alear: Oh, I didn’t like those things one bit. Just the sight of them made my blood run cold.
Lumera: Understandably so. The Corrupted are corpses revived by an evil power.
Lumera: The Fell Dragon used them as his soldiers in the war.
Lumera: Before the start of that bitter conflict, Elyos had known peace for eons.
Lumera: But then a dark presence emerged─Sombron.
Lumera: Despite tireless searching, we could not determine where he’d come from.
Lumera: But seeing the destruction he wrought, there was no doubt of his evil intentions.
Lumera: Now the Corrupted are spreading once more. This may be a sign of his return.
Alear: No…
Lumera: I wonder if it is mere coincidence that you awakened as all this unfolds…
Lumera: If the Fell Dragon has been released, then we must prepare for battle.
Alear: I can’t imagine fighting someone like that.
Lumera: Worry not. I doubt he will attack anytime soon.
Lumera: This castle is filled with the spirits of Divine Dragons─the Corrupted cannot enter it easily.
Lumera: Let us devise a plan now, while we have the opportunity.
Lumera: Emblem Marth.
Marth: It’s been quite some time, Lumera.
Lumera: That it has. Thank you for lending your aid against the Corrupted.
Marth: You’re welcome. But of course, I could help only because your child remembered me.
Marth: You know, it is possible the others are awake now, just as I am.
Lumera: Perhaps you are right.
Alear: Sorry, but… What do you mean? Who’s awake?
Lumera: There is something I should show you. Follow me.
Opening 2
Alear: What is this place?
Lumera: This is the Ring Vault. It is where the Emblem Rings are enshrined.
Lumera: Those of the Holy Knight, of the Sage Lord, and of the Azure Twins rest here.
Lumera: As well as the Ring of the Princess Exalt and, finally, the Ring of the Instructor.
Lumera: Each dwells within an Emblem Ring, as Marth resides in the Ring of the Hero-King.
Alear: So, counting Marth, there are six Emblem Rings. Wow.
Lumera: In fact, there are twelve─six here, and six entrusted to the other countries.
Lumera: As a precautionary measure.
Alear: What do you mean?
Lumera: The Emblems grant world-altering power to whoever has all 12 rings.
Lumera: For generations, the Divine Dragons used this power to ensure peace and prosperity in Elyos.
Lumera: Indeed, that was how we locked away the Fell Dragon.
Lumera: But many have sought to steal the rings and use them for their own nefarious purposes.
Alear: Which is why they’re scattered all over the continent, not just stored here.
Lumera: Precisely. The rings offer their power but once every thousand years.
Lumera: At which time the Divine Dragon travels across Elyos to collect them from each nation’s ruler.
Lumera: With a thousand years having passed since last time, I was planning to carry out this ritual soon.
Lumera: But if the Fell Dragon is after the rings, the Emblems may be summoned before I arrive…
Alear: “Summoned”?
Lumera: It is how one calls for an Emblem from a ring. Just as you did earlier with Marth.
Lumera: Only those with royal dragon blood are capable of summoning. That includes you, my child.
Alear: Oh… You must be talking about the phrase that popped into my head.
Lumera: An invocation, you mean? What was it?
Alear: “Shine on, Emblem of Beginnings.”
Alear: I wasn’t even thinking about it. The words just… fell from my mouth.
Lumera: That was how you summoned Marth.
Lumera: …
Lumera: What was your focus─your intention─when you spoke those words?
Alear: I wanted to help Clanne and Framme.
Alear: I didn’t want to lose them. I wanted to protect them.
Lumera: Your focus was on helping others. Remember that intention whenever you summon Emblems.
Lumera: Not to keep the power for yourself, understand? To borrow so you may protect others.
Alear: I understand.
Lumera: Now, why don’t we try a practice battle? You must be a little rusty after all these years.
Opening 3
Lumera: How about we train here? You will be the one fighting. The Emblem lends you their strength.
Lumera: You need to train your body and mind to unleash an Emblem’s full power.
Lumera: Vander, Clanne, Framme. You will be aiding my child in this battle…against me.
Vander: Queen Lumera, even in a practice battle, I could not turn my weapon on you.
Lumera: Oh, Vander… Please do put your heart into it. I know I will.
Alear: The Corrupted?!
Lumera: No, dear. Not at all. How could you think so? I made these opponents from plants and rocks.
Lumera: Nevertheless, their abilities are the same. Drop your guard and you could be hurt.
Alear: They’re really unsettling. Can we train with something else? They give me the chills.
Lumera: Listen. You must push through your fear and face whatever opponent stands against you.
Lumera: Never run away. You are my child, the protector of all─the Divine Dragon _____.
Alear: I understand.
Framme: Don’t worry, Divine One! We’ll back you up every step of the way.
Clanne: Yeah! What Framme said!
Vander: As loath as I am to battle against Queen Lumera…orders are orders.
Vander: I pledge to bring us victory.
Alear: Thank you, everyone.
Lumera: Now, let’s begin.
Mid-Battle
Vander: Be cautious, Divine One. Some of these enemies are carrying long-range weapons.
Vander: Therefore, they can rain arrows upon us from afar.
Lumera: See this enemy with the axe? Axe-wielders are at a disadvantage against swords.
Lumera: Swords are strong against axes. Axes, against lances. And then lances, against swords.
Lumera: If you outmatch your foe, you can break their fighting stance─for an advantage in combat.
Lumera: Try it! Strike with your sword. After their stance is broken, they’ll be open to further attack.
Lumera: Well done, _____.
Lumera: You see? Swords are strong against axes. Always keep such weapon advantages in mind.
Lumera: Enemies can’t counterattack while recovering their stance. A good time to finish them off.
Framme: Ah! The Divine One looked right at me!
Framme: You know, I can do some mean healing with my staff.
Framme: Not only that, I can take incoming hits for nearby allies. But it smarts when I do…
Framme: Anyway, if you don’t wanna get hurt, or if you need some patching up, just lean on me.
Clanne: Hey, Divine One! I dunno if you knew this or not, but I can use magic.
Clanne: I’m good from near or far, even against well-protected enemies!
Lumera: It’s time I enter the fray.
Lumera: Fantastic work. You fought together splendidly.
Lumera: Let’s move on. Wait over there a moment.
Lumera: All right. If everyone is in position, we’ll begin.
Lumera: This time, I will be more hands-on. I intend to fight as if in an actual battle.
Lumera: Furthermore, I’ll be using this.
Alear: Is that the Ring of the Holy Knight?
Lumera: Indeed it is. I’m inviting an old friend to join us.
Lumera: …
Sigurd: I am Sigurd. If you require strength and swiftness, I am all too happy to oblige.
Alear: Emblem Sigurd. He looks like a strong opponent.
Lumera: Each Emblem has their own abilities.
Lumera: When allied with them, you can call upon their unique powers and skills.
Alear: Whatever Sigurd’s power is, it won’t be the same as Marth’s.
Alear: We’d better keep our eyes open.
Marth: My rapier is effective against cavalry─like those enemies over there.
Marth: Once we engage, you can use my weapon. Try it against that foe.
Lumera: Your teamwork is inspiring. Now it’s time for us to make our move.
Lumera: Come, Sigurd.
Alear: That was incredible.
Vander: Lord Sigurd is remarkably swift. Perhaps we should be grateful this is a mock battle…
Alear versus Lumera (Part 1)
Lumera: There is no need to hold back, my child.
Alear: All right.
Alear versus Lumera (Part 2)
Alear: This is certainly more of a challenge.
Lumera: Your enemies will not hold back, and neither will I. That is why you must defeat me.
Lumera: What a delight it is to see you in battle after all these years.
Vander versus Lumera
Vander: Queen Lumera, please forgive me for standing against you.
Lumera: Vander, you are my child’s knight─you must fill that role as best you can.
Lumera: Attack me with all your might.
Clanne versus Lumera
Clanne: Queen Lumera, I don’t want to attack you. Ugh, I feel dizzy…
Lumera: Sharpen your focus, Clanne, lest you miss.
Framme versus Lumera
Framme: No disrespect, Queen Lumera, but I’ve gotta attack you!
Lumera: That’s the spirit, Framme.
Lumera Defeated
Lumera: Agh…
Lumera: You’ve won. I’m proud to see you working together so well.
Ending 1
Lumera: Well fought, everyone. You bested Sigurd and me. That’s quite the feat.
Lumera: There is much to improve upon, but this is a wonderful start. Great work, _____.
Alear: Thank you.
Framme: I can’t believe we had to fight against Queen Lumera.
Clanne: Yeah, well, I can’t believe we won.
Vander: Though you have only just awoken, your power seems to be growing already, Divine One.
Lumera: I’d like for you to have this, _____.
Alear: This is the sword you were using, isn’t it?
Lumera: Yes─an ancient blade that can be wielded only by Divine Dragons.
Lumera: It served me well for many years, but now it is yours. Consider it a prize for your victory today.
Alear: Thank you. Someday I’ll prove that I’m worthy of this sword.
Lumera: I have no doubt.
Lumera: Please, take this as well.
Alear: Is this another Emblem Ring?
Lumera: No, it is purely ornamental. You see, before your slumber, I made you a promise.
Alear: What was it?
Lumera: I said I’d give you a birthday present that suited you perfectly.
Lumera: I was working on it in private, but I was unable to finish it in time…
Lumera: That birthday has long since passed, but I would quite like to give you this gift now.
Alear: I’m sorry… I can’t accept.
Lumera: Why not?
Alear: That ring fulfills a promise you made me, right? But I don’t remember that promise.
Alear: It’d feel wrong accepting it─like I was taking a present meant for someone else.
Alear: Please offer me this gift again once I’ve remembered everything.
Lumera: Everything, you say.
Lumera: …
Lumera: Did facing me in battle stir any recollections, _____?
Alear: It didn’t. I’m sorry.
Lumera: You need not apologize. It doesn’t matter what you can remember right now…
Lumera: I only hope that one day, you will think of me as your mother.
Lumera: As you did a thousand years ago.
Alear: …
Lumera: Forgive me. I was so thrilled to spend time with you again.
Lumera: I suppose I got a little carried away, didn’t I?
Alear: Oh, no. It’s all right.
Lumera: Haha, I don’t mean to put you on the spot. Perhaps we should call it a day, hm?
Lumera: But let’s agree to chat again in the morning.
Lumera: What do you say? Pinky promise?
Alear: Haha, all right.
Ending 2
Lumera: Haha!
Lumera: How wonderful to see my child awake at last. Now, we’ll never have to be apart.
Lumera: There is so much to catch up on. So much to see and do together!
Lumera: We can chat for hours, take long walks, share meals. And then…
Lumera: If my child’s memories are truly lost, I wonder…
Lumera: …
Lumera: Emblem Sigurd.
Sigurd: I am here.
Lumera: There’s something I’d like to discuss with you.
Ending 3
Alear: Today certainly was eventful.
Alear: Queen Lumera seems so kind and caring. I’m sure she was a wonderful mother.
Alear: If only I could remember those days.
Alear: I must have felt so lucky to be her child…
