Part 1 Chapter 3: A Faint Light
Before Battle (Prison)
Micaiah
I hope the others escaped...
Laura
I'm sure they are safe and secure, just as I'm sure the abbot got his
medicine. I believe in them.
Aimee
Pardon... Excuse me. Not to pry, but did you know you're bleeding?
You've got some blood on your sleeve there.
Micaiah
Hm? Oh, you're right! I've been so distracted, I didn't even notice...
Aimee
Unfortunately, there are no vulneraries to heal you in this rat hole...
Here, try wrapping this cloth around your wound.
Micaiah
Thank you very much. I don't believe we've met. I'm Micaiah.
Aimee
I'm Aimee. I've been a lucky guest in this dungeon for
quite some time. On behalf of myself and my snoozing friend over there,
Ilyana, it's very nice to meet you, Micaiah.
Ilyana
...Mm...
Micaiah
Why are you two in here?
Aimee
I wish I knew! I belong to a merchant caravan that was
passing through en route to the next market day. When we arrived here,
we were brought to this charming prison against our will. Now, we await
the general's pleasure.
Laura
I see. Well, that doesn't sound good. How unfortunate.
???
Um...
Aimee
So you can talk. You've been so quiet over there, I assumed you didn't
speak our language.
???
...If you wish, you may use this salve on your wound. It's an infusion
of olivi grass.
Aimee
Olivi grass? Hm, I've never heard of it. Are you sure it's safe?
???
It's unquestionably safe... and effective.
Micaiah
Thank you most kindly. I'll try it.
Aimee
Well, aren't you the trusting one? Are you honestly comfortable
applying a strange medicine to your wound?
Micaiah
I am. I know it will work. Thank you for sharing your medicine.
???
You're welcome!
Micaiah
I hear something!
Sothe
Here you are.
Micaiah
Sothe!
Micaiah
Yune! I'm so glad you're both all right!
Sothe
Sorry it took so long to get here.
Sothe
Hello.
Aimee
Well, hello! I remember you. You've certainly grown up to be easy on
the eyes! I believe I'm a little smitten.
Micaiah
You two know each other?
Sothe
Somewhat. We crossed paths during the war.
Sothe
Let's get out of here before the guards come. I'll open the door, then
we'll find a way out.
???
I would like to get out of here, too. Like Aimee, I have no idea why
I've been imprisoned. May I join you?
Micaiah
By all means!
???
I thank you much. My name is Kurth.
Micaiah
Well then, Kurth, after you.
Before Battle (Outside)
Nolan
Sothe, this way!
Micaiah
Nolan! Edward! Leonardo! It's so good to see you all.
Sothe
How did you manage to sneak in this far without my help?
Nolan
Oddly, one of the soldiers let us in the back way.
Micaiah
A Begnion soldier?
Edward
Yes. He said, If you're here to save Laura, follow me.
Laura
How strange. Why would a Begnion soldier mention me?
Fighter
The prisoners are escaping!
Micaiah
Surprise, surprise! They found us!
Sothe hands out weapons (Version 1)
Sothe
While I was in the armory, I borrowed a few tomes and staves.
Micaiah
Perfect. Now I can fight, too.
Ilyana
If you'll lend me that tome, I can fight as well.
Aimee
With all due respect, I'm certainly no fighter. And
neither is the boy. We'll tiptoe around you all and stay out of harm's
way. Good luck, everyone!
Kurth
I am sorry to impose upon you. Please be careful.
Sothe hands out weapons (Version 2)
Sothe
Micaiah, this is for you.
Micaiah
My tome! How did you get it?
Sothe
I didn't know if it was yours, but I figured you could use it. So at
the armory, I borrowed it too.
Micaiah
Well done, Sothe. Now I can pull my weight and fight.
Sothe
And a staff for you, Sister.
Laura
Thank you very much.
Ilyana
Um... I... I can fight too. Could you...lend me that tome?
Sothe
What, you mean this one? Ilyana, I didn't know you used light magic,
too.
Micaiah
Sothe, that's a tome of lightning magic.
Sothe
It is?
Micaiah
I give up. You just grabbed at random, didn't you?
Sothe
You know I can't read the old language. The letters all look the same
to me!
Sothe
Here. If this one will work, take it. Just like old times, right,
Ilyana?
Ilyana
Thank you... And yes, Sothe... I don't want to fight...but I'm glad
I'll get to fight alongside you again...
Micaiah
Ilyana? If you're not up to it, don't feel pressured
to fight. We can handle the soldiers. You look a little woozy. Are you
sure you're going to be all right?
Aimee
She's fine, Micaiah. She's always like that.
Micaiah
But...
Ilyana
I can fight... I'm...very angry... The food here... It was terrible,
and...they gave us hardly any... I... will have vengeance.
Micaiah
This girl takes her food pretty seriously. Interesting.
Sothe
I see Ilyana is as hungry as ever.
Aimee
Don't worry about us. We'll carefully tiptoe around
you all. The boy and I can't fight, so we'll stay out of harm's way.
Good luck, everyone!
Kurth
I am sorry to impose upon you. Please be careful.
Aran appears
Laura
Hm... That soldier... Could that be...
Laura recruits Aran
Laura
Aran? I can't believe it! It IS you!
Aran
Laura!
Laura
I knew it! But, Aran, why? Why would any true Daein join sides with
Begnion?
Aran
A true Daein? I'm not sure I still am one... Not since
a family of merchants from Begnion took me in... But I could never do
anything to hurt you. You've always been like a little sister to me.
Get out of here, Laura...while you still have a chance! I'll turn a
blind eye.
Laura
But what about Micaiah and Sothe? They've risked their
lives fighting for the abbot--and for me. I couldn't possibly abandon
them now, not even if it meant saving myself.
Aran
Oh, bother...
Laura
What's wrong?
Aran
I can't keep lying to myself any longer. I know what Begnion is doing
in Daein is despicable, and I can't support it.
Laura
Then...
Aran
Then...from now on, I'm fighting for what's
right...just like the abbot taught us. Come on. Let's get you--and
everyone else--out of here!
Laura
Wonderful! Thank you, Aran. I knew it. You haven't
changed a bit. You're as considerate as ever. Your family would have
been so proud!
Micaiah escapes
Micaiah
For now, let's just get away!
After Battle (Nighttime, in front of
a wagon)
Aimee
Thank you so much...all of you! Because of your bravery, I can finally
rejoin my merchant caravan.
Aimee
Still, coming back to Nevassa, I'm stunned at the
terrible state of things. Who would have thought that Begnion would
rule with such an iron fist? They run your nation with boundless
cruelty, looting the towns and sending your able- bodied men to camps.
It breaks my heart.
Jorge
They make me miss Ashnard, Daein's late Mad King. And
I never thought I'd say that! At least he never tried to destroy Crimea
as a country!
Micaiah
What do you mean by that?
Daniel
People make a country. One person--even a noble
king--does not a country make. And a strong country only exists when
its people are strong. As Begnion crushes the citizenry, it slowly
destroys Daein.
Jorge
The dastards are treating Daein like a nation of
slaves! If this persists, Daein's strength will be sapped, and the
nation itself will cease to be.
Micaiah
Then, what should we do? What can we do to save our country?
Jorge
There is a rumor. If it's true, there might be hope...
Muston
Look here, Jorge! Don't go spouting off rumors.
Micaiah
No, I want to know! If there is a shred of hope for us, tell me.
Jorge
Well, the rumor is that King Ashnard left an orphan behind.
Micaiah
Really? Is that true?!
Sothe
King Ashnard had a child? Why have I never heard of this?
Daniel
It's just a rumor--nothing more. But if it's true, it would be a strike
of great fortune for Daein.
Jorge
In the last war, Crimea used a scion of the royal family to unify its
people and rally a liberation army. So could Daein.
Aimee
And drive out the loathsome Begnion!
Micaiah
So where is this orphan?
Jorge
According to rumor, he's in the east, near the Desert
of Death, trying to raise an army to lay claim to the throne. Shall we
go there?
Sothe
Micaiah, what do you think?
Micaiah
...In the desert...an important encounter awaits us. It shall be one
that changes the shape of our future.
Sothe
Well, that's it then. We must go to the desert to meet our destiny.
