Part 4 Chapter 2: Silent World
Before Battle
Ranulf
King Tibarn! Queen Elincia! We may need to halt for a bit.
Tibarn
Why? What's the problem?
Ranulf
We have some stragglers lagging behind.
Tibarn
You mean Almedha is slowing us downagain. We have to reach the Tower of
Guidance as soon as possible. We can't have her always hampering our
progress.
Elincia
But we have no idea when the Disciples of Order might attack. We need
to keep everyone together, for safety's sake.
Tibarn
Reyson! We'll rest here. You can land and give your wings a break.
Ranulf
Reyson, I remember when a trip like this would have exhausted you. I'm
impressed at how well you're handling it.
Reyson
Yes, physically I'm quite healthy. But I can't say that I'm really
happy about that...
Elincia
Why would that be?
Reyson
We of the heron clan can feel the energies of others. In times of war,
negative energy is dominant, and we sicken. Now that all of the people
have been turned to stone, the energy is gone and,physically, I feel
much better. It's unsettling to feel healthy and know that the reason
is such a sad one.
Elincia
It's a terrible irony... We finally have the peace we've been praying
for, at the cost of all freedom, everywhere.
Reyson
Could this truly be the world that Goddess Ashera wants for us?
Ranulf
No,this is the world she had to give us after we ruined hers.
Tibarn
Ah, welcome back. Any sign of the Disciples of Order?
Janaff
Unfortunately, no.
Tibarn
I don't like this. Why are they leaving us alone?
Ranulf
I'm not sure I see the problem, Tibarn. If they're going to let us
stroll on through, I won't complain.
Tibarn
Not me. Right or wrong, I would prefer a stand-up fight. Right now,
even.
Elincia
What are you saying, Tibarn? How could you wish that upon us? I don't
understand you.
Tibarn
Right now, the world is calm, peaceful... almost eerily so. It almost
feels...comfortable. If this goes on, we might relax, lose our edge.
I'm worried that we'll get careless.
Elincia
Hmm...
Tibarn
Everyone, let's get one thing perfectly clear here...This isn't a
natural peace. It's Ashera's work. Don't forget for an instant that the
world isn't supposed to be like this. It should be noisy, vibrant, and
chaotic.
Elincia
You're right. A peace built on the sacrifice of so many lives is
monstrous and unjust. It cannot be allowed to stand.
Ranulf
I didn't mean that I'm losing motivation to save the petrified people.
It's just that, before we started talking about it, I was
feeling...complacent. Is it just me?
Tibarn
The spirit of order is hanging heavy across the land. When we fight, we
get a dose of chaos, which may help us get back in touch with our true
selves. If our enemy has also figured that out, it might explain why
they're staying away.
Almedha
Pelleas, dear, how are you feeling?
Pelleas
Mother, I'm fine. Please stop asking after my health.
Almedha
But you're so pale, darling. You were always such a sickly little
boy... You should rest a while. We can't have you exhausting yourself.
Pelleas
No, Mother... If we stop walking now, we would slow the others.
Almedha
Never mind them, sweetheart, they can wait. You should take a nice rest
under that tree. Son, remember that you are a scion of both Daein's and
Goldoa's royal families! You are more important than any of these
peasants! The others can certainly wait for you; don't spare a single
thought for them.
Pelleas
L-let go of me! Leave me alone!
Pelleas
Haah!
Pelleas
Mother!
Almedha
Pelleas...
Pelleas
I'm sorry, Mother. I...
Almedha
Pelleas, wait! Pelleas!
If Janaff and Ulki were included in the Hawk Army
Janaff
We've spotted the enemy! They're over there, to the southwest!
Tibarn
How did they get so close without being noticed? Did we have men out of
position?
Ulki
No, I just checked in. Enemy forces just suddenly appeared, with no
sign or warning at all.
Tibarn
Guess that's one good thing about fighting a goddess... Things are sure
to be exciting. Everyone, get in position!
If only Janaff was included in the Hawk Army
Janaff
We've spotted the enemy! They're over there, to the southwest!
Tibarn
How did they get that close without being noticed? Did we have men out
of position?
Janaff
No, they just appeared, I swear! One minute it's clear for miles, and
the next it's swarming with crazies!
Tibarn
Guess that's one good thing about fighting a goddess...things are sure
to be exciting. Everyone, get in position!
If only Ulki was included in the Hawk Army
Ulki
...The enemy has been detected. They're over there, to the southwest.
Tibarn
How did they get that close without being noticed? Did we have men out
of position?
Ulki
No, they just appeared, with no warning at all.
Tibarn
Guess that's one good thing about fighting a goddess...things are sure
to be exciting. Everyone, get in position!
If Janaff and Ulki are not included in the Hawk Army
Ranulf
We've spotted the enemy! They're over there, to the southwest.
Tibarn
How did they get that close without being noticed? Did we have men out
of position?
Ranulf
The lookouts were all in place. These guys just appeared, Tibarn. Gives
me the shivers just thinkin' about it.
Tibarn
Guess that's one good thing about fighting a goddess...things are sure
to be exciting. Everyone, get in position!
Reyson
...An entire legion that can appear from nowhere? Who are these
Disciples?
Tibarn
To be honest, I don't care who we fight. I just want to knock a little
disorder back into the world.
Valtome
My humblest apologies. I hope we didn't sneak up on you. I'm sure that
cheeky little queenlet is still amongst you? I hope so. I'm going to
make her pay for defying me! Uwee hee hee!
After the 1st turn
Pelleas
I'm sorry to be late! What unit would you like me to support?
Tibarn
Oh, King Pelleas. You shouldn't...endanger yourself. Besides, I don't
think we'll have too much trouble with these guys.
Pelleas
I appreciate your concern, but as the king of Daein, I fight for the
people of all free countries. It is my duty.
Tibarn
Wait, where is your mother?
Pelleas
W-well...
Tibarn
Listen, I don't know what she's been telling you, but don't throw your
life away. I appreciate that you want to help, but this battle is
beyond you. Try to stay out of the way.
Pelleas
...Y-yes, sir.
Anyone except Tibarn, Elincia, Kieran, Pelleas, Reyson, and Ranulf
attacks Valtome
Valtome
Uwee hee hee! Uwee hee hee! I have always known that only I, Valtome,
possessed the grace and beauty to be chosen by the goddess! How
wonderful to finally be recognized for my excellence! If only that
insufferable Zelgius could see me now! I am divinity! Uwee hee
hee!
Tibarn attacks Valtome
Valtome
Zelgius... Where is Zelgius?! Do you think you can hide him? That
man...must be...uwee hee hee... punished!
Tibarn
Sorry to disappoint you, but Zelgius is my prey. There's no chance I'm
passing him on to the likes of you.
Elincia attacks Valtome
Valtome
Ah, there you are, Queen of Hayseeds! I look forward to scraping you
off my immaculate nails! Uwee hee hee hee!
Elincia
Lord Valtome, I desire no battle with you. Withdraw your troops
immediately. If you do so, no more lives will be lost.
Valtome
Uwee hee...uwee hee hee... Are you touched as well as homely? I offer
YOU the chance to surrender! But you, Elincia, I will only forgive if
you beg. And crawl. And lick the sole of my left boot.
Elincia
I'm sorry that you feel that way. If that's how it has to be, may the
goddess have mercy on you, Valtome.
Reyson attacks Valtome
Valtome
Oh, how quaint...a bird. Do you seek to defeat me? Haven't you herons
learned it's not safe to play with senators? Uwee hee hee! Beg for my
mercy!
Reyson
Mercy will be done when you and your fellows are gone from this world.
Ranulf attacks Valtome
Valtome
The so-called queen... Where is that brazen little hussy? Bring her
before me! Now! Right away! Immediately!
Ranulf
Are you the best that Ashera could do? This really is the end of the
world.
Pelleas attacks Valtome
Valtome
You are no soldier! Who are you, boy?
Pelleas
I... I am Pelleas, king of Daein.
Valtome
Oh, how precious! I was hoping that I'd meet the simpering moron who
signed the blood pact with Lekain... How funny! Uwee hee hee!
Pelleas
Y-you will regret this!
Kieran attacks Valtome
Valtome
Ah, a Crimean soldier, yes? Ugh! That queen of yours has no style! What
ridiculous armor! You go out in that?
Kieran
I will brook no insult to my queen or my armor! You face Kieran, second
commander of the Royal Knights...and your doom!
Valtome dies
Valtome
Ze...Zelgiussss...
After Battle
Tibarn
Whew, that's just what I needed! Queen Elincia, are you hurt? Do you
all feel as...alive as I do? This is proof that we need a little chaos.
Everyone understand that now?
Elincia
Yes, but it doesn't make me fond of war. I know we can't stop, but...
Tibarn
I understand, Elincia. Your path is important, too. Leave the rough
stuff to us.
Elincia
King Tibarn... Thank you.
After Battle (Pelleas is alive)
Tibarn
That was some good work you did back there.
Pelleas
Haaaa haaa haaa...
Tibarn
...OK, just relax. Get it together...
Pelleas
Haaa...haa...
Tibarn
Hmm. I'll go get the others. You just sit down and catch your breath.
Pelleas
Haa huff... Ahem.
Tibarn
Considering he's the only son of Ashnard the Mad King, scourge of
Crimea and butcher of innocents, he is quite the mama's boy.
After Battle (Pelleas is alive)
Almedha
...Hm? Pelleas?!
Elincia
Queen Almedha... You shouldn't be out here all by yourself. It's
dangerous.
Almedha
Queen Elincia.
Elincia
I was worried when I didn't see you at supper, so I came looking for
you.
Almedha
Hmph. I didn't think anyone in this merry band cared about me. After
all, my own son is trying to avoid me.
Elincia
Don't say that. A lot of things have just happened... I'm sure Pelleas
is just confused. He'll come around.
Almedha
I hope you're right. Lady Elincia, can I ask you a question? What of
your mother? Was she also turned to stone?
Elincia
No... My mother died three years ago. Both my mother and my father were
killed by King Ashnard...
Almedha
By Ashnard? I-I'm sorry.
Elincia
Lady Almedha, you were King Ashnard's wife, correct?
Almedha
There was never a formal wedding ceremony, so I suppose some would call
me a mistress... But I was the only one he could ever call his wife.
And I'm the only one who can be called the mother of his child...
Elincia
King Pelleas.
Almedha
Yes, Pelleas. We were separated so long... Finally having him back is
the greatest gift imaginable.
Elincia
...Forgive me for asking, but why did King Ashnard suddenly decide to
invade Crimea? I want to know why my parents died.
Almedha
Truthfully, I don't know.
Elincia
You were closer to him than anyone. Didn't he say anything? Did he
never explain his reasons?
Almedha
The last time I saw Ashnard was long ago, more than twenty years. I'm
afraid I don't know many state secrets from after that point.
Elincia
But, why...
Almedha
You look so surprised. We had a falling out and ended up living
separately... It happens rather a lot, I'm afraid.
Elincia
No, it's just that... Well, you said that King Ashnard had no other
wives or children... I just assumed that you had always been by his
side.
Almedha
Ha ha... There was always gossip, of course, and I hated it. But I know
with absolute certainty... Ashnard had relations with no other woman.
And so I said as much.
Elincia
So he did love you, in his own way?
Almedha
Love? Love?! Ha ha... Seriously... Ha ha ha...ha ha haa!
Elincia
Wh-what's so funny?
Almedha
There was no love between Ashnard and me. There was a strong mutual
attraction between us, eventually resulting in a child... But all I
ever was to him was a source of power. Once I became pregnant, I was
useless to him. Bereft of my strength, he found my presence nothing
more than an irritating distraction. After Pelleas was born, Ashnard
became obsessed with the boy... But, once he realized Pelleas had no
special powers... Ashnard rejected him, and used him as bait in a cruel
trap for my brother...
Elincia
Lady Almedha?
Almedha
I... It's just that I...
Elincia
I'm sorry, it was not my place to ask.
Almedha
Where is he? Where is my Pelleas? He's the only thing that matters... I
can't lose him...ever! Please, I beg of you. Bring me my Pelleas! Tell
him his mother needs him... Hurry... Bring me my Pelleas!
Elincia
Of course. I-I'll bring him as soon as I can.
Almedha
Oh, Rajaion... I'm so sorry. Please forgive me...
After battle (Pelleas is dead)
Elincia
Queen Almedha... You shouldn't be out here all by yourself. It's
dangerous.
Almedha
Queen Elincia... Hmph. I didn't think anyone in this merry band cared
about me. Betrayed by my father, stripped of my power... Now my only
son is dead. I have nothing left...
Elincia
Lady Almedha... I'm sorry to impose during this difficult time for you,
but can I ask you something? You were King Ashnard's wife, correct?
Almedha
There was never a formal wedding ceremony, so I suppose some would call
me a mistress... But I was the only one he could ever call his wife.
And I'm the only one who can be called the mother of his child... Oh,
Pelleas...to finally have him back after so long...
Elincia
...Forgive me for asking, but why did King Ashnard suddenly decide to
invade Crimea? I want to know why my parents died.
Almedha
I don't know. The last time I saw Ashnard was long ago, more than
twenty years. I'm afraid I don't know many state secrets from after
that point.
Elincia
But, why...
Almedha
You look so surprised. We had a falling out and ended up living

Elincia
Lady Almedha?
Almedha
My Pelleas... How could you leave me? I am nothing now... Nothing...
Leave me alone now. Just leave me alone...
Elincia
I'm sorry, Lady Almedha. I didn't mean to upset you.
Almedha
Oh, Rajaion... I'm so sorry. Please forgive me...
