Eirika:
Master Saleh!
Saleh: ...
Eirika: Master?
Saleh: ...
Eirika: ...
Saleh: ... ...Oh, I'm sorry,
Princess Eirika.
Eirika: It's all right. Were
you...praying?
Saleh: Not exactly. It's called
Valega.
Eirika: Valega?
Saleh: Yes.
Eirika: What is it? Is it
something to do with Caer Pelyn's cultural history?
Saleh: Yes, in a sense. Think
of it as a kind of wish. A very pure wish. It is a wish that expands
far beyond individual desire.
Eirika:
I see. I don't claim to understand, but it sounds very interesting. If
you don't mind, I'd like to hear more about it later.
Saleh: If you like.
Eirika: Yes, I would.

Eirika: Master Saleh.
Saleh: Princess.
Eirika: What you were telling me about
Valega was most enlightening. It sounds as though you align your
desires with the world around you. By knowing the vastness of creation
around you, you come to know yourself. And then, by transcending your
selfish needs, you wish for a better world. What you told me, it helped
me rediscover the importance of that unselfish wish. It's the reason
for the war we fight now... The dream of a better world. Because of
your Valega, my own conviction was renewed.
Saleh: Ahhh. I'm glad to hear
that. ... Princess Eirika, you remind me of the warrior princess, Nada
Kuya.
Eirika: Nada Kuya?
Saleh: She's one of Caer
Pelyn's ancient heroes.
Eirika: I'd like to hear about her.
Saleh: I've been told she was a
strong woman, beautiful and proud. She spoke with the voice of nature,
and she lived at one with the earth.
Eirika: But you called her a battle
princess...?
Saleh: Well, in ancient times,
Caer Pelyn was invaded by a foreign nation.
Eirika: Really?
Saleh: And leading the charge
against the invaders was Nada Kuya. She carried a narrow sword made
from a fang gifted to her by the dragonkin. With her dragon blade in
her hand, she drove Caer Pelyn's enemies away.
Eirika: Wow... Quite a story. And you think
I--
Saleh: Yes. You remind me of
her.
Eirika: No, no... When Grado invaded Renais,
I was paralyzed. I couldn't do anything. It is only because of the
sacrifices of others that I could even escape.
Saleh: But now, you are here.
With your strength, courage, and dignity.
Eirika: Master Saleh...
Saleh: If you achieve victory,
the legend will become reality. You will become the Nada Kuya of this
age.
Eirika: I see... Yes, I see! I have a reason
to fight. I have things to protect. I fight for the future. The future
of Renais, the future of my people. Thank you, Master Saleh. Your
stories always give me the courage to fight on.
Saleh: I'm glad to hear that.
Eirika: I pray your wisdom guides us through
this war.
Saleh: I will do what I can.
