Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Chapter 6: Fire Emblem
"After shattering Medon's main force outside Aurelis Castle, Marth next
led his army into the castle's halls to liberate the kingdom. A number
of treasures slept in Aurelis Castle's nooks and crannies but how to
extract them before they could fall into enemy hands?
"Only a thief could open chests locked that tight," grumbled one of
Marth's men.
"But we don't have any thieves with us. ...Do we? "
(Beginning of Chapter)
Emereus:
What?! The rebels are inside the castle? Grrr...Very well!
Armored units: intercept the intruders!
Archers: defend the throne!
Thieves, you go gather up the treasure while I make preparations to
withdraw.
You have your orders! Don't let those rebels anywhere near this chamber!
(Recruiting Rickard with Julian)
Julian:
What the- Rickard? What are you doin’ in here?
Rickard:
Oh, uh… Hey there, Chief! Been a long time, huh? So, funny
story:
I decided to break in here and clean the place out- and then I
got caught. Hilarious, right? Comedy gold. OK, your turn What are YOU
doin’ here?
Julian:
Me? I’ve washed my hands of thievery and joined the forces of
justice.
Rickard:
Ohhh really? Justice? So then this wouldn’t have nothin’ to do
with some new lady friend? You always did have a soft spot for a pretty
face and the right features-
Julian:
Wha- Can it, you little fink! I said it’s about justice! I’m
entitled to have moral crisis now and then! …You know what? Just for
that, YOU are gonna work for me, startin’ right now.
Rickard:
What? Do I have to… ? Well, all right. You drive a hard
bargain, but what can I say? I missed ya, Chief. Just make sure I get a
cut out of the haul!
(Recruiting Rickard with Marth)
Rickard:
…Wow! Really? A prince, you say? Thanks for springin’ me! I’m
Rickard, just a small-time thief, mind you, but I’ve got big
aspirations! I broke in here to clean the place out, and instead it was
me that got my cloak cleaned… Since you saved my hide, I guess the
least I can do is lend my services in return.
(Conversation – Marth and Rickard [ONLY when Julian recruited Rickard])
Rickard:
So you're the prince of Altea, then? Hello. I'm Rickard. Just a
small-time thief, mind you, but I've got big aspirations! Julian asked
me to help you out, see, and what the chief says, goes! So here I am.
(Battle with Emereus)
Emereus:
Blast! They're upon me! Why didn't those idiot soldiers stop them?!
(Defeating Emereus)
Emereus:
Rrgh...Why...?
(Chapter End)
Nyna:
Prince Marth... At long last. I am Nyna of House Akaneia. 'Tis
Akaneia's burden to protect the world of crisis- a duty I have striven
to fulfill.
But Doluna has laid waste to my kingdom, and now I find myself
powerless to stop the world from falling into ruin. Marth... Please,
pick up the banner where I have let it fall. Lead your might against
Doluna, and free us all.
Marth:
Of course, Princess Nyna. Altea swore fealty to Akaneia long
ago, a vow we have always kept. And, as you know, it is in my blood-
House Altea's blood- to destroy Medeus just as Anri did before me.
Nyna:
Thank you, Marth. Then let me give you this. This crest is called
the Fire Emblem. House Akaneia bestows it only upon a true champion,
one we believe has the power to save the world.
With it, you gain the right to open treasure chests across the land and
wield the precious items within.
I know you will use them well. Never give up, Marth. Fight, until the
day you restore light to our world.
(Obtained the Fire Emblem)
