Fire Emblem: Thracia 776
Script translation
Chapter 14: Open Fire
On the World Map
The free city of Tahra, with Linoan as its mayor, had always been doing
its best to protest against the Empire's evil deeds.
However, now surrounded by Imperial troops led by Commander Paulus,
Tahra's situation was looking increasingly grim.
Tahra had maintained its freedom by promising never to oppose the
Empire, but that freedom seemed short-lived now...
Opening Cutscene
Paulus:
"I don't see Rist..."
Baldack:
"Yes, I believe he has either fallen or been captured."
Paulus:
"...I feel sorry for him."
Baldack:
"If I may, sir... Rist directly went against his
commander's
orders. He only got what he deserved."
Paulus:
"...Perhaps not. I was never in favor of the attack on
Tahra. My hesitation has led to many soldiers to their
deaths. ...It's my
responsibility. Laugh at me, Baldack. Laugh at this
old coward."
Baldack:
"Commander..."
Paulus:
"But I won't hesitate any more. I am a warrior of Freeji,
I must
fulfill my duties. Will you help me, Baldack?"
Baldack:
"Yes, of course, Commander Paulus! The main forces of my
8th
Legion have arrived. Let us commence the attack!"
Paulus:
"Yes, I will send my forces to aid you once they are
ready.
Knowing you, I doubt I need to say this, but... Be
careful."
Baldack:
"Yes, I will swear to my honor that I will bring Tahra
down!"
(Scene switches to Linoan)
Eda:
"Lady Linoan, the attack has begun."
Linoan:
"The Empire's full-scale attack... What is Lord Leaf
doing?"
Eda:
"The prince is having a meeting with the other commanders."
Linoan:
"I see... Is Dean with them?"
Eda:
"Dean is watching the south gate because he doesn't feel
comfortable at meetings... My brother can be difficult at
times."
Linoan:
"No, I would never have survived without him. After my
father was
killed, our mansion was taken away, and for two years I was
unable to even go
outdoors freely. The cruel surrogate would constantly
threaten me to
tell him where the prince was. The thought of that abuse
still sends
shivers down my spine... But then...Dean rescued me from
that
nightmare. He protected me from assassins from the Empire,
and always cheered me up when I
was about to break down. He always laughed it off, but I
was sure he was
a well-known mercenary. I never knew he working under Lord
Arione..."
Eda:
"Prince Arione knew about the danger Tahra was in, so he secretly
ordered my brother to rescue you. Dean was so pleased at
the trust the
prince was putting in him that he abandoned the army to fulfill
the prince's
commands."
Linoan:
"Lord Arione...went through that much...?"
Eda:
"He couldn't leave the country, but then again, he couldn't let
you, his fiancee, die... I can only imagine how troubled he
was. Anyway, please don't worry, Lady Linoan. Your
kindness has not gone unnoticed by
Dine and Nova. You must believe in our victory. Now, I must
go out and
fight as well!"
2nd Turn
Homeros:
"Hey, what're you packing up for? You leaving or
something?"
Shanam:
"Ha... Staying here would be for nought..."
Homeros:
"Whoa, you can't leave yet. The people living here
served you
that much because they wanted your help. You're not gonna
be very
popular if you leave now. Especially among the
women."
Shanam:
"N-No, my servants have come to pick me up... I'm a
prince, so I
can't leave my country for very long..."
Homeros:
"Oh, so you're the prince of Isaac? Come on, gimme a
break.
You can't fool me."
Shanam:
"Ulp... You knew?"
Homeros:
"I'm a bard, you know. I know Prince Shanan's
face. Well
anyway, do what you want. Anyone would want to save his own
life first.
There's no reason to fall along with this city."
Shanam:
"So you too..."
Homeros:
"Yeah, I'm leaving tomorrow, after I have my fun
tonight."
Shanam:
"All right, then I'll be going. We might meet
again."
Homeros:
"Hey, wait a sec. At least tell me your real
name."
Shanam:
"...It's Shanam."
Homeros:
"Huh, at least your names sound alike... See ya, Prince
Shanam."
8th Turn
Trabant:
"It has begun at last... Macroy, I trust you
understand. We
are here as allies of the Empire. Whatever you do, don't
fight them."
Macroy:
"...And then we capture Tahra while the Empire is
exhausted..."
Trabant:
"That's right. This will be an important card when
dealing with
Blume. Don't waste it."
Macroy:
"Of course, your Majesty."
10th Turn
Arione:
"Father, wouldn't attacking Tahra only be for the benefit of
the
Empire? The citizens hate the Empire. If we side with
the people now,
we may be able to establish good relations in the
future..."
Trabant:
"No. Tahra isn't strong enough to help us defeat the
Empire. Do you remember the battle at Melghen Valley?
We lost to the Empire even
with the help of both Northern and Southern Thracia."
Arione:
"That was because of Reidric's betrayal..."
Trabant:
"Perhaps. But either way, we were forced to sign a
humiliating
treaty. Northern Thracia fell into the hands of Empire. It
wouldn't
be an exaggeration to say that the Empire's power is now ten
times that
of ours. And you still wish to challenge them? Do you think
you can
win? The people here will die, is that what you
want?"
Arione:
"No... You're right, Father. I was too
imprudent.
...Father, I want to ask you something..."
Trabant:
"What is it?"
Arione:
"Let me help with the attack on Tahra."
Trabant:
"...Do you have a plan? Very well. If we are able
to take
this prosperous city, I don't mind how. Do as you
will!"
Arione:
"Yes, thank you, Father!"
Trabant:
"But don't take too long. I don't want to have to end up
sending
in my main forces."
Arione:
"Yes. Many citizens will die if this goes on... I
must
speak with Linoan."
(Arione goes to the castle)
Arione:
"Linoan! Where are you? It's me, Arione!"
Linoan:
"Lord Arione!? What are you doing here?"
Arione:
"That's not important. Tell your people to disarm and
surrender. It'll be a disaster if you fight now."
Linoan:
"Why...? This is not like you at all. What
happened?"
Arione:
"My father is preparing a legion to attack Tahra."
Linoan:
"!"
Arione:
"That's not all. Lopto's armed priests are approaching as
well. If the 'Black Rose' Schwarze Rosen comes, the
citizens will be
massacred, every single one of them."
Linoan:
"The Schwarze Rosen...! I was fearing this the
most..."
Arione:
"Linoan, leave it to me. Thracia will capture
Tahra. We
will the put the people under our protection. We will put
an end to the
child hunting, and I'll promise to protect you as well."
Linoan:
"What will happen to Lord Leaf and the other knights?"
Arione:
"They'll have to escape. The Empire is after the prince,
and my
father fears him as well."
Linoan:
"...Very well. I will entrust the matter to you."
Arione:
"Thank you."
Linoan:
"However, I will go with Lord Leaf. I will regret leaving
my
people behind, but this is the best way now. Once we defeat
the Empire, I
will return to Tahra... Will you promise to return Tahra to
me once I come
back?"
Arione:
"Defeat the Empire... Very well, I promise. ...But
is this
Prince Leaf really that trustworthy? Will he be an enemy to
Thracia, or a
friend...? Either way, I would like to meet him...with
Altena..."
Homeros's house
(If you use Nanna)
Homeros:
"Oh...? Mm, nice, very nice. I'll cancel my other
offers
for you, babe."
Nanna:
"Huh? ...What are you talking about?"
Homeros:
"You see, this is my last night here. I want to make
love to you
all, but I've only got one body, so... Ow! Whoa,
babe, what was
that for!?"
Nanna:
"What are you thinking!? Even the children and the elderly
are
working hard to protect this city! And you're just sitting
here drinking in
broad daylight... You should be ashamed!"
Homeros:
"H-Hey, you don't have to cry. Okay, okay, I'll help you
out, all
right? But I'm not strong, so don't give me any heavy
work..."
(If you use a child character)
Homeros:
"What do you want, kid? I'm taking a nap. Go
home."
(If you use a male character)
Homeros:
"I have no need for men. Go away."
(If you use a female character other than Nanna)
Homeros:
"Uhm... Sorry, but I've kinda got my hands full
tonight."
House (bottom left)
(If you use Dean)
Woman:
"Oh, Dean... Lady Altena is waiting for you."
Altena:
"Hello, Dean. I'm glad you seem well."
Dean:
"Lady Altena!? What are you doing here?"
Altena:
"You haven't changed, have you, Dean? I came all this way
to give
you this spear."
Dean:
"Spear...? But...this is Lord Arione's Dragon
Lance..."
Altena:
"He wants you to use it. He was saying that it is his
apology to
you for making you a traitor."
Dean:
"It was me who chose to leave the army. I appreciate the
offer,
but I can't take this."
Altena:
"Dean, don't step on my brother's kindness. If you won't
take it,
I will order you as the queen of Thracia."
Dean:
"Haha... I'm no longer a knight of Thracia... But
very
well. I can't go against Lady Altena's orders. I will
take this Dragon Lance
for now."
Altena:
"Good... Dean, protect Linoan with that spear.
Linoan and
my brother are to be wed... I'm sure Arione would have
liked to protect her
himself, but he can't leave the country for very long. I
think that's why
he gave the spear to you."
Dean:
"...I think you've misunderstood, Lady Altena... Please
don't
worry about Lady Linoan. I will protect her in place of
Lord Arione!"

Paulus:
"So... This is it..."

too..late... Ugh!"
Releasing Paulus
Paulus:
"I'm sorry... But I must take responsibility for my
defeat..."
Fighting Baldack
Baldack:
"Let's see if you can defeat me!"
Defeating Baldack
Baldack:
"No... This can't...be..."
