Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Chapter 2: The Pirates of
Galder
"One thing could always be said about Galder Harbor, the mainland port
nearest Talys: it never had much in the way of riches, but neither did
it have
much trouble. All that changed when a pirate crew fell upon the town
and made it
their hideout. Here, in Galder, history records Marth's first steps
toward freeing his homeland."
(Beginning of Chapter)
Ogma:
Prince Marth, I am Ogma, a mercenary of Talys. The king has bid
me and my three men join your army. Cavalry has arrived from the west,
flying Grust's standard. They mean to take your life, sire. Be careful.
(Houses)
Young Man:
A pirate callin’ himself Darros wants to talk to your
prince. Says he’s washed his hands of pillagin’ and plunderin’ and
wants to fight for the good of all. Hah! Right… And I’m a farmer who’s
been sworn off rain…
Young Man:
Curates gain experience whenever they use their staves.
Middle-Aged Man:
Hammers smash right through heavy armor. You should
pick one up, when you get the chance.
(End Houses)
(Recruiting Darros)
Darros:
Ahoy, Prince Marth, I be Darros, a simple man o' the sea. I've
had me fill o' the piratin' life, and now I be lookin' t'start anew.
What say ye? Make me yer matey, and I swear t'pull me load.
(Visiting Village)
Old Man:
Oh! Mighty prince of Altea! Please, will you save Sister Lena?
She’s gone up into the Ghoul’s Teeth to tend to the sick there. We
warned her, I swear we did… Lena is our angel. If something befell her,
I- No, I won’t think of it. Take this gold: we’ve 5000 pieces. Just
promise you’ll use it to bring her home to us unharmed.
(Obtained 5000 Gold)
(Recruiting Castor)
Shiida:
Castor?! It is you, isn't it? Must even good men like you
betray Talys now?
Castor:
Princess Shiida? Oh...I'm sorry, but me mother's sick, and the
medicine don't buy itself, see...
Shiida:
So you agreed to fight for the pirates in exchange for
coin...All right then. If it's gold you need, take mine. Here, this is
all I have. Take it, and go to your mother's side.
Castor:
But Princess...I betrayed you! ...Ach, I've been a fool!
Forgive me,
Princess. Let me fight for you now. Me life is yours.
(Conversation – Marth and Castor)
Castor:
Prince Marth, I am Castor of Talys. I wish to add my bow to your
strength.
Marth:
Of course. Shiida told me about you.
Castor:
You know, she's always been very kind to me, sire, even before I left
Talys. And look how I've repaid her...
Marth:
Castor, you can still show her your heart is true. Let the battles to
come be what defines you!
(Battle with Castor)
Castor:
I'm sorry, Princess Shiida... I need the money somethin' desperate...
(Battle with Gomer)
Gomer:
The gall of ye, defyin' me crew! I'll put an axe square between
yer eyes! Ye ain't leaving here alive. I swear it on the rickety peg
leg o'Shanty Pete!
(Defeating Gomer)
Gomer:
Augh...Fiends, ye be...
(Chapter End)
Villager:
You have our gratitude, sire, for finally chasin' those
pirates away. Now, as I hear it, you plan to march on to
Aurelis...That'll take you right up through the Ghoul's Teeth.
With all due respect, sire, you're taking a great risk crossin' those
mountains that's Soothsire territory. The Soothsires are fearsome
bandits, always raidin' the villages and harryin' what travelers dare
pass by.
And the swordsman with 'em- goes by the name o' Nabarl- he's a terror
with a blade, so they say. If you go up there, keep your wits about
you- or you won't come back down.
