(Clerics appear)
Jagen:
Sire, the war is over. Look over there! It's the princess and the other clerics...
Marth:
Sister! And Princess Nyna... Lena, Maria; you're all safe.
Nyna:
Marth, I'm so happy you made it... Please lend me your valor in order to rebuild Archanea.
Elice:
You did well, Marth. I am so proud of you.
Lena:
Prince Marth, between the four of us, we managed to defeat Gharnef. Please be at ease.
Maria:
Our world has been saved. Prince, you should return to Altea as soon as you can.
Marth:
I see, I'm glad you're all well.
Marth:
Princess Nyna, please forgive me. I couldn't save Hardin in the end.
Nyna:
It is fine. He was dead long ago, after he lost himself to his fiendish ambitions. Marth, you ought to return to your kingdom. Your people must be worried about you. As long as people still exist in this world, your name shall not be forgotten.
(Marth talks to Chris)
Marth:
Thank you, Chris. For protecting and supporting me. No amount of thanks would be enough. But, among the people, your deeds are being told as things I've done alone... That just will not do. Once we return to the castle, I'll...
Chris:
If you allow me, sire... I have no need for a name. I don't want stories to be told of me.
Marth:
Chris...?
Chris:
Sire. With this war now over, a hero will be needed. A hero called Prince Marth. There are still hostilities between people who have fought for so long. Those won't disappear easily. In order to have everyone's agreement, a king everyone recognizes-- a godlike hero is needed. And that hero must be you, sire, and you alone.
Marth:
But then, what you've done so far will be...
Chris:
Even if the world doesn't know, you do, sire, and that's enough for me. I shall stay by your side. I shall be your shadow.
Marth:
Chris... You're... ...Why, I wonder? Ever since we met, I felt a special connection with you. Fate sent you to me... I can't help but think that. Thank you, Chris. Please stay with me. Chris, you're my other half, my true friend...

Thus, the long, fierce battle that would later be called the 'War of Heroes' came to an end, for now.

Nagi:
This is... good...
Lena:
Julian... It was only because you were there that I could...
Maria:
Michalis... Minerva... Can we be a happy family again...?
Nyna:
Camus... you're...
Elice:
Merric... Thank you...
(Gotoh congratulates Marth)
Gotoh:
Marth, brave prince of Altea. Thanks to your valiant efforts, Shadow Dragon Medeus has been completely obliterated. Medeus's servants--the earth dragons-- have once again returned to darkness. As long as the Binding Shield exists, they will never see the light again. Marth, the chosen Prince of Light, descendant of the hero Anri. You have not only saved mankind, but us dragonkin as well...
(If Tiki is alive)
Tiki:
Mar-Mar!! Does this mean I don't need to go back to the Ice Dragon Shrine anymore? I'm so happy! I love being with everyone, after all. I don't want to be all alone ever again. This is like... a dream come true. I'm so happy, so very happy. I love you, Mar-Mar!!
(If Caeda died)
Gotoh:
Now, Tiki... You must respect Marth's feelings. Many have fallen in this battle. Marth, I realize this victory is bittersweet at best to you. Having lost the one you loved, you must now live on alone. I'm deeply sorry, Marth... In exchange for this world's future, you have lost something far more precious...
(If Caeda and Tiki died)
Gotoh:
Marth, I realize this victory is bittersweet at best to you. Having lost the one you loved, you must now live on alone. I'm deep sorry, Marth... In exchange for this world's future, you have lost something far more precious...
(If Malicia, Caeda, and Tiki are all alive)
Malicia:
Honestly, Tiki, for how long do you plan on hogging Prince Marth? Prince Marth looks like he's enjoying it too. Doesn't he worry that you might get mad, Princess Caeda?
Caeda:
Please Malicia, you're so silly. But you're right, Marth looks happy...
Malicia:
Who wouldn't? Especially after having a heavy burden lifted from their shoulders? Prince Marth has always been forced to carry such a heavy responsibility. It must have been hard on him. But Princess, you didn't have an easy time either, am I right? With everyone surrounding Marth day and night, you could seldom talk to him. You must have felt lonely.
Caeda:
Yes I did... but it's alright. As long as Marth is safe, I have no other wish. You see, I prayed to God. When I found out Marth had been tasked with such an important mission, I asked for God to take my life, should Marth ever have to sacrifice his... That's all I could do for Marth.
Malicia:
...Sigh, I give up. There's no way I could compare to you, Princess. But, you'll have to wait no longer. Because your prince has finally come back to you. Look, Princess, he's looking over here. Be brave!
(If Caeda is alive)
Caeda:
Marth...
Marth:
Caeda, it's finally over. I've made you suffer, too. Please accept my apologies.
Caeda:
No, I'm the one who ought to apologize... I wasn't any help to you.
Marth:
Don't be silly. I've only come this far because you were by my side, Caeda. And besides, the hard part begins now. The seven kingdoms of Archanea are to be unified. And everyone expects me to accept responsibility of the new kingdom. However, there's no way I could handle such a position by myself. Caeda, I want your assistance. I need you.
Caeda:
Marth, let me tell you something... When I left Talys, I made a vow. I swore that I would go wherever you went, and that I'd trust you no matter what happened. So, no matter how painful the war was, I was able to endure. Because, Marth... I...
(More victory statements)
Jagen:
Sire... You've done such a magnificent job. I'm speechless for words.
(If Arran, Cain, Abel, and Elice lived)
Arran:
The fact I could devote my last moments to fight under Prince Marth's banner is my life's pride.
Cain:
Truly! We're honored to be by the prince's side.
Abel:
Yes. Even though I'm no knight now... fighting together with Prince Marth was my honor.
Elice:
Marth... Please be happy from now on...
(If Draug, Frey, Gordon, and Norne lived)
Draug:
Seems we'll be busy from now on! All the kingdoms need to be rebuilt, so we have a mountain of work to do.
Frey:
True. And yet, we can see hope in the eyes of all people.
Gordon:
If we work hard now, we can turn the world onto the right path... That's what I truly believe.
Norne:
I'm sure the people of this world have received that hope. Because of Prince Marth...
(If everyone from the 7th Platoon lived)
Ryan:
W-we've won? It feels so unreal... Somebody pinch me--ouch!
Luke:
Hey, you asked for it! But truly, our battles will be told as legends for generations to come!
Rody:
Getting carried away, I see... But, I'm glad everyone from the 7th Platoon is safe.
Cecil:
Yup. The fact we can laugh together as friends like this is what pleases me the most. And Katarina, that you includes you of course.
Katarina:
Yes... I feel everyone's happiness as well. Chris...
Chris:
Yes, we'll be together forever.
(If Wrys lived)
Wrys:
The bonds of people are truly a wondrous sight, no matter your age.
(If Sirius, Yumina, and Yubello lived)
Yubello:
Ah, Sir Sirius? Where did he go? He was here until a moment ago...
Yumina:
It's okay, Yubello. We must become stronger from here on. I'm sure Sirius wanted that, too...
(If Roger and Malicia lived)
Roger:
I gotta return to Grust and work hard to rebuild my motherland. Say Malicia, you, er, wanna go back with me?

Sorry, but this girl's taken. I have to look for my prince, after all!
(If Robert, Belf, and Leiden lived)

(If Minerva, Maria, and the Whitewing sisters lived)
Minerva:
Palla, Catria, Est. The war is finally over. You've done well.
Palla:
Commander, your ideal world where all can live in peace... It may finally become a reality.
Catria:
I agree. As long as Prince Marth is here, I'm sure it will...
Est:
Oh, that's right. Let's all go to Altea. We must thank Prince Marth!
Maria:
Ooh, I would love that! I want to see his dashingness too!
(If Matthis, Rickard, Julian, and Lena lived)
Matthis:
Lena! I was worried about you. Tell me, did Julian make any distasteful advances on you?
Julian:
Hey, and why would I do somethin' like that? C'mon, at a time like this...!
Lena:
Teehee, I see you two have been getting along while I was away.
Rickard:
Chief, don't you leave me behind! We vowed to stay together, didn't we?
(If Warren lived)
Warren:
...I don't like the noise. But, I've discovered the worth of friendship. Thanks.
(If Caeda, and Ogma and his men lived)
Caeda:
Ogma, fellow Talysians. I must express my gratitude to you all for protecting Marth in my stead...
Cord:
Princess, we'd go through hell and high water for you and yer husband.
Bord:
Well, that and Ogma asked us to. Right, boss?
Ogma:
Yeah. Bord, Cord, you did well. Barst, you helped a lot too.
Barst:
It was nothin'. I just wanted to live my days in peace again.
(If Castor and Darros lived)
Castor:
It's time I return to me hometown. Thankfully, I've saved up a lot of gold.

I should try and earn money too, but by doing honest work instead.
(If Linde and Nyna lived)
Linde:
Princess Nyna! Oh, Princess, I'm so glad you're safe...
Nyna:
Linde... I apologize for making you worry.
(If Astram, Jeorge, Horace, and Midia lived)
Astram:
Midia, I'm sorry. I was overtaken by anger and forgot what was most important.
Midia:
You needn't apologize, Astram. Just don't ever leave my side again...
Jeorge:
Good heavens, it seems we're in the way here. Sir Horace, where might you off to?
Horace:
I must inform the people about the advent of peace.
(If Dolph, Tomas, and Macellan lived)
Dolph:
Macellan, I shall not return to the military.

(If all of the Wolfguard lived)

Vyland:
No, Roshea. Never question yourself.

That's right. We must continue to fight. To clear Coyote's name.
(If Wendell, Etzel, Merric, and Elrean lived)
Wendell:
At last, a world without war is born. Merric, Elrean, you both did well.

Those guys are so carefree. But I suppose I can start slacking off as well.
Nagi:
Indeed. I, too, can finally... return to my eternal sleep...
(Marth talks to Chris)
Marth:
Thank you, Chris. For protecting and supporting me. No amount of thanks would be enough. But, among the people, your deeds are being told as things I've done alone... That just will not do. Once we return to the castle, I'll...
Chris:
If you allow me, sire... I have no need for a name. I don't want stories to be told of me.
Marth:

Thus, the long, tragic battle that would later be called the 'War of Heroes' finally came to an end.
The seven kingdoms were unified under Prince Marth of Altea, and as the United Kingdom of Archanea
was established, an era of peace began.
The tales of the heroes who took part in this war brought excitement and tears to the later generations.
Chronicles of the Archanean War of Heroes...
This is a story of love and courage, about the young warriors who fought with the continent's fate at
stake...
