Part 1 Chapter 1: Maiden of
Miracles
Before battle (Dawn Brigade Hideout)
Micaiah
How should we explain yesterday to Sothe and Nolan?
Leonardo
It's like you said. We didn't have a choice. We had
to save Nico and the townsfolk. But I admit, getting spotted by those
Begnion soldiers was unfortunate. Still, I'd do it all over again. The
worst part is they know we're near. They could find this hideout as
easily as they found our last one.
Edward
I just don't get it. This is our country... Why do we have to live in
hiding, like prisoners in our own land?
Leonardo
Come on, you know why. We lost the war... and Crimea won. It's not our
country anymore. End of story.
Edward
Except that Crimea walked away after winning,
leaving those heartless Begnion dogs to rule our country for the last
three years! The occupying soldiers march around like they own the
place, doing whatever they want, and no one dares to stop them!
???
To be fair, Crimea didn't have the resources to rule another country.
Micaiah
Sothe! And Nolan, too! Welcome back. I'm glad you made it in one piece.
Leonardo
At last, the Dawn Brigade is all present. But you are unusually late.
Were you delayed?
Sothe
I think our fame's catching up with us. Begnion patrols are everywhere.
It took us a while to avoid them.
Nolan
I've never seen so much Begnion activity in this area before. Is
there...something we should know?
Leonardo
Um, well, actually, the truth is...
(Screen fades temporarily)
Nolan
Ah, that's what did it. You had a run-in with bandits?
Micaiah
And Begnion soldiers spotted us as we made our escape. I'm sorry. We
only wanted to help. We were careless.
Sothe
We'll worry about that later. More importantly, Micaiah, were you seen
healing anyone with Sacrifice?
Micaiah
I'm afraid so.
Sothe
You can't allow anyone to know what you can do.
Healing without any tomes or staves is a rare gift--almost unheard of.
If anyone saw you doing it, you'd be given away immediately, and I
don't know if I could keep you safe.
Micaiah
I know, Sothe.
Sothe
I know you know, but you keep doing it! This place isn't safe anymore.
We should leave at once.
Nolan
Correct. Ah, but it would have been nice to eat just one meal in
peace...
Before battle (Alleyways of Nevassa)
Edward
This way's no good either. Begnion soldiers have every alleyway
blocked. A kitten couldn't sneak past them.
Nolan
It looks like this really is the least guarded path, then. Even so,
it's swarming with soldiers.
Micaiah
There are more coming up behind us! We'll be trapped if we don't move
quickly!
Nolan
We can't wait for Sothe.
Nolan
The stairs by the church lead to the marketplace. We can break through
there.
Nolan
I'll go first and secure the way. Micaiah and
Leonardo, cover my back! Remember to keep your distance from the enemy.
Team up and bring them down one by one!
Micaiah
We'll be careful.
Leonardo
Leave it to us.
Nolan
Edward, you bring up the rear. Your skills have
improved, but you're still new to fighting. Don't rush the enemy. Just
focus on surviving their attacks. Got it?
Edward
Yeah, yeah, I got it.
Turn 1 of Enemy Phase
Fighter
Captain Isaiya! Just as you said. A group that appears to be the Dawn
Brigade is storming the alley!
Isaiya
How generous of them. I'll wipe them out and advertise my exploits to
our commanders back home.
After battle (Nevassa)
Sothe
Everybody...this way!
Begnion Soldier 2
They're running to the center of town! After them!
Nolan
Good work! I see the market. If we can blend into the crowd, they'll
lose us, and we'll be free and clear.
Nico
Hey, lady!
Micaiah
Nico!
Lady
They're after you again, aren't they?
Nico
Are you and your friends all right?
Begnion Soldier 2
Moldy onions! Where'd they go?!
Grandpa
Leave the soldiers to us. Go on, now. Get yourselves to safety.
Lady
Quickly--don't dawdle. You must escape. You're our only hope.
Micaiah
Thank you so much!
Begnion Soldier 2
Wait! There they go! Catch them!
Begnion Soldier 2
What are you stopping for?
Begnion Soldier 1
W-well, they...
Lady
You won't get past us! We stand by the Dawn Brigade.
Nico
That's right! Goddess protect the Dawn Brigade!
Micaiah
Wait! Something terrible is about to happen!
Sothe
What is it?
Micaiah
...No! We have to go back.
Begnion Soldier 2
What?! You're letting this rabble stop you? Ready your bows! Nobody
defies the will of Begnion.
(Nico is hit by a ballista)
Grandma
No! How could you shoot a child? You vicious savages!
Lady
Someone! Someone, help him, quickly! Please...this child is dying!
Begnion Soldier 2
Pay heed! This is what happens when you meddle in Begnion affairs of
state. Remember it well!
Man
I didn't realize that the Begnion Empire's affairs of state included
murdering children in the street!
Begnion Soldier 2
Don't point your fingers at us. We're just
doing our job. If you're upset, blame it on the Dawn Brigade! They made
this happen!
Begnion Soldier 2
It's the girl we're looking for! Call for reinforcements! Surround and
arrest every last one of them...
(Micaiah moves next to Nico)
Begnion Soldier 2
What's happening?! What does she think she's doing?! Hey, you, step
away from that child!
(Image of Micaiah healing Nico with Sacrifice)
Grandpa
It...it's a miracle. We've seen a miracle today!
Man
That was Sacrifice...
Lady
That girl! She must be the Silver- Haired Maiden. Only she possesses
Sacrifice!
(Micaiah faints and Sothe carries her)
Begnion Soldier 2
Stop right there! After them! We can't let them get away!
Man
We still stand by the Dawn Brigade.
Begnion Soldier 2
What is wrong with you people?! Did you hear me?! Clear a path, or
you'll end up like that kid!
Jarod
You sniveling idiots! Why are you just standing there?! Give chase.
Now!
Begnion Soldier 2
Yes, sir! We would like to, sir, but... the townspeople are blocking
our way.
Jarod
Oh...I see. The townspeople are blocking your way. You dullards!
Jarod
Clean out those dirty ears and listen to me! You are
soldiers, and I am your commander! You will follow my orders promptly
and without hesitation. Understand, you useless vermin? Now, move!
Jarod
Unbelievable! If it's not one thing, it's another. Why am I always
stuck leading the buffoons?
After battle (outside Nevassa)
Micaiah
...Mmm...
Sothe
Are you awake now? Thank goodness. Do you see? This is why I told you
not to use Sacrifice...
Edward
We sure showed them in Nevassa, huh? I guess we can't go back
there...not for a while anyway.
Micaiah
I'm so fond of Nevassa. It's where we all met. It feels like my only
real home. We will return...someday.
Sothe
We will, Micaiah. I know you, and you have a way of getting what you
want.
Micaiah
Because you're always there to help me get it, Sothe.
