Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Chapter 19: Manakete Princess
"The Sable Order fought valiantly to keep Marth's army from reaching
Chiasmir, but in the end Grust's knights buckled: the world's mightiest
only in song. The League marched on to the Fane of Raman, a holy
sanctuary built by the divine dragoons to house their most priceless
treasures. Here another story was set to begin..."
(Beginning of Chapter)
Gharnef:
Tiki... Tiki... Princess-that-was of the great divine
dragons... Can you hear my voice?
Tiki:
....Mm-hmm.
Gharnef:
Defilers have set foot inside the fane- despoilers! Punish
them. Let your fire consume them!
Tiki:
Defilers...in the fane...Punish them...
Gharnef:
Remember, Tiki. Your divine dragon kin perished long ago, and
Bantu has abandoned you...I alone am protecting you from Medeus.
Remember...
Tiki:
You alone...are protecting me...Punish...the defilers...
(Gharnef teleports away)
(Recruiting Tiki)
Bantu:
Tiki! Tiki, my child! At last, I have found you!
Tiki:
No... Stop... Come no closer...
Bantu:
Hm? ...Gharnef has put you in some sort of trance, poor thing.
Peace, child. Peace. Awaken.
Tiki:
...Mmm? ....Ban-Ban? Is that you? Where am I? What happened?
Bantu:
Yes, child. 'tis I, 'tis I. How I worried! Are you hurt?
Tiki:
No, Ban-Ban, just...just scared...I feel as though I just woke
from an awful nightmare...
Bantu:
I am truly sorry, child. Truly, I am. I will not let us be
separated again. From now on, I will be there to protect you.
Tiki:
Promise? You have to promise, Ban-Ban. I hate being alone...
(Conversation – Marth and Tiki)
Marth:
You must be Tiki. Bantu told me all about you.
Tiki:
Ban-Ban told me all about you, too… Will you take me with you?
Marth:
Of course, Tiki, as long as that’s what you want.
Tiki:
Yes, yes, it is! Oh, thank you, Mar-Mar!
Marth:
…Mar-Mar?!
Tiki:
Am I not allowed to call you that?
Marth:
N- That is…er… Well, if you want…
Tiki:
Thank you, Mar-Mar!
Marth:
You’re…welcome?
(Battle with Tiki)
Tiki:
N-no… Please…come no closer…
(Defeating Tiki)
Tiki:
Ban-Ban… Why…why did you…leave me?
(Chapter End)
Nyna:
Marth! Tell me, was it a success? Did you locate the Lightsphere
and Starsphere?
(If gotten no Orbs)
Marth:
...No. I was not able to find them, I'm afraid.
Nyna:
I see...
Marth:
But we cannot afford to spend any more time here searching. For all
Imhullu's power, there has to be some other way to thwart it... We'll
have to place our hopes in that. Right now, Nyna, a more pressing task
awaits us...
(If gotten one Orb)
Marth:
...No. I was not able to find them both, I'm afraid.
Nyna:
I see...
Marth:
But we cannot afford to spend any more time here searching. For all
Imhullu's power, there has to be some other way to thwart it... We'll
have to place our hopes in that. Right now, Nyna, a more pressing task
awaits us...
(If gotten both Orbs)
Marth:
Never fear; I have them. We need to take these to Gotoh so he
can undo Imhullu's magic...But first, Nyna, we've a more pressing task
ahead of us.
(Chapter End continued)
Nyna:
Oh? And what is that?
Marth:
We must defeat Grust once and for all. If we march south without
finishing them off, we have our rear exposed.
Nyna:
Then you mean to invade.
Marth:
Yes. And this time, General Camus will be there to meet us. I am
sure of it. "Camus the Sable", they call him. Many extol him as the
most able warrior alive. It will be a fierce battle...but one we cannot
avoid.
Nyna:
You are certain we must face him? We have crippled Grust, but
they will regroup and stand in our way again. No, we need to stamp this
fire out before the wind catches it and starts spreading it anew.
Nyna:
Very well. But before you attack, there is something I must tell
you. Later, though...Not yet. I must sort my feelings out first...
