Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon
Prologue II
(Frey and Abel move towards Marth)
Frey:
Sire!
Marth:
...Frey! Abel! You're alive!
Abel:
Yes, sire. Princess Elice bade us protect you. Sir Malledus
stayed behind to accompany her.
Frey:
Sire, we must be quick. Sir Jagen awaits us at the gates.
(Brief exit of dialogue, shows enemies appearing)
Abel:
Blast! This will not do. How did Gra's soldiers ever make it this
far?
Marth:
Jagen and the others will be caught like mice...We need to seize
the gates and secure the area, immediately.
(Beginning of the battle)
Enemy Soldier:
Now who's that who thinks they can sneak up on us? Ho
ho...
What's this? I spy the Altean prince. Oi, listen up, you lot! Bag the
prince!
Dead or alive, he'll fetch us as sweet a reward as the mind can conjure.
(When approaching the enemy archers)
Marth:
Hmm, they have archers... We need to take care they don't pick
us off from afar.
(Chapter End)
Jagen:
Sire, it gladdens me to see you in one piece. It's not safe for
you here; we must be away at once!
(Cain enters conversation)
Cain (from a distance):
Prince Marth! Where are you? Answer me, sire!
Marth (from a distance):
Cain? ...That's Cain!
(Cain moves in closer)
Marth:
Cain, you're supposed to be in Gra! Why have you returned
without-
Yow! Those wounds...!
Cain:
Sire, it's really you...I feared the worst. That his message
would go undeliv...Agh...
Marth:
In that state, I don't know how you even stayed ahorse. Those
gashes must be treated at once-
Jagen:
No, sire. Not until we've escaped.
Marth:
...Cain, I trust you can put off bleeding to death for just a
while longer?
Cain:
Of course, sir... I aim to please...
(Screen switches to a different conversation between Malledus and Elice)
Malledus:
Princess Elice! The enemy is nearly upon us! Gather your
things, quickly!
Elice:
No, Malledus. I am staying here.
Malledus:
S-staying here?! What madness is this?
Elice:
Too many people have died to keep Altea and its castle safe. I
cannot abandon what so many lives have brought. With Father and Mother
unaccounted for, I am the natural choice to remain with Altea's people.
And besides, by staying, I can buy time for the rest of you to escape.
Malledus:
Nonsense. Just gather your things, and-
Elice:
Malledus. I am not suggesting. I am commanding. If something
befalls Father, Marth will become the last person in the entire world
worthy of
wielding the Falchion. I want you to guide him, Malledus- even when the
rest of us no longer can.
Malledus:
Princess...I will try my best.
Elice:
There's not much time. Go, Malledus. ...Go!
