A Time to Shine - Opening

English・Japanese

Sharenaシャロン	...And that's the tour of the castle! If you have any questions, just ask!		...以上が、この城の説明となります。 なにかわからないことがあったら、 遠慮なく聞いてくださいね！
Thank you, Princess Sharena...		ありがとう...ございます、 シャロン王女。		Nagiナギ
Norneノルン	I can hardly believe we were shown around the castle by the princess herself... I feel like I should apologize!		王女様自らお城を案内してくれるなんて、 とっても恐縮です...！
Not at all! We're counting on all you Heroes to help us, after all! Showing you around the castle is the least I can do!		いえいえ、わたしたちのほうこそ 英雄の皆さんに力を貸して もらっちゃってるんですから！ 感謝してもしきれません！		Sharenaシャロン
Siriusシリウス	If it is our purpose, I, for one, will focus all my effort on restoring peace to Askr.		旅路の果てにこの国に流れついたのも なにかの縁...微力ながら、平和を取り戻す 手助けをさせてもらおう。
Well, I'm happy to hear it! Now I have some other things to take care of, but I'll see you all later!		頼りにしていますね！ それではまた！		Sharenaシャロン
Phinaフィーナ	...		......
Is something...wrong, Phina?		フィーナ...？		Nagiナギ
Phinaフィーナ	Hm? Oh, I'm just a bit in awe after seeing so many Heroes as we toured the castle halls!		さっき、お城の中を案内して もらっていたとき、 広間に大勢の英雄がいたわよね。
Same here! There were Heroes so famous, I already knew their names! ...And quite a few of them too!		あたしでも名前を知っているような そうそうたる英雄が揃っていたけど... それがどうかしたの？		Norneノルン
Phinaフィーナ	The Order of Heroes is made up of such extraordinary people... We'll have to try really hard to stand out!		ヴァイス・ブレイヴは個性派揃い...！ しっかり目立っておかないと、 私たちは埋もれちゃうわ！
Stand...out? Where must we stand?		埋もれて...しまう？ それは...封印されたり 埋葬されたりすると...？		Nagiナギ
Phinaフィーナ	I mean we need to be useful, or we might be overlooked compared to all the great Heroes already here!		この場合は、私たちの出番がなくなる 可能性があるってことね。
B-but...what can we do to be useful when everyone here is already so willing and able?!		で、でも、目立つって言っても... 具体的にどうやるの？		Norneノルン
Phinaフィーナ	If you ask me...we should focus on what's important: looking good! Good fashion sense will make us shine! If we can draw everyone's eyes, there's NO WAY we'll be overlooked!		それはね...ズバリ、オシャレよ！ 服やアクセサリーのセンスを磨いて、 バーンと目立つの！ みんなの注目を集めることができれば ヴァイス・ブレイヴの中で私たちの 存在感をアピールできるはずよ！
We were called here to risk our lives on the battlefield. We have little time to worry about our appearance...		...待ってくれ。 我々は戦場で命のやりとりを しているのだ。 格好などに気を取られている暇など ないと思うのだが...		Siriusシリウス
Phinaフィーナ	Is that so, Sirius? Why the mask then? Is it not to look...FASHIONABLE?		言ってくれるじゃないシリウスさん。 じゃあその仮面はなによ！？ オシャレ意識してるんじゃないの！？
...No. This mask serves a much more consequential purpose.		...いや、この仮面には、 やむにやまれぬ事情が...		Siriusシリウス
Phinaフィーナ	Sirius, didn't you say you want to lend Prince Marth your strength? If you never get deployed, you won't be able to help Prince Marth when he needs you the most, right?		シリウスさん、以前に マルス王子の力になりたいって 言っていたわよね？ でも、出撃する機会がなかったら マルス王子が助けを必要としているときに 力添えできない可能性もあるわよ？
...		......		Siriusシリウス
Nagiナギ	I...do not understand this...fashion. But...if it can deepen our bonds with others, so we might aid them...		わたしは...知らない。 あなたのいう... オシャレというもののことを...... でも、 みなと絆を深め、親しむことが できるのなら...
All right, then it's decided! Since we were all brought here together, let's all work together! And so...let Operation: Time to Shine begin! Let's all do our best to stand out so we're not overlooked!		よーし、決まりね！　同じタイミングで この世界に呼ばれたもの同士、 ここは協力しましょう！ それじゃ、オシャレ大作戦開始ね！ 出撃する機会をふやすため、目立って 存在感をアピールするわよ！		Phinaフィーナ
Norneノルン	Hmm... I'm not so sure about this...		うーん...うまくいくのかな...

A Time to Shine - C

English・Japanese

Phinaフィーナ	All right, everyone, are your accessories at the ready? Time for an inspection! Remember: We don't want just to stand out... People need to witness our sense for decorative attire!
How do I look? I can't say I understand accessorizing all too well, but...				Norneノルン
Phinaフィーナ	Looks pretty good to me! Fashion essentials like that never go out of style. Inspection passed!
I...have this...				Nagiナギ
Phinaフィーナ	Th-this seems...quite rare! ...Maybe? Definitely unique! I think people will like it either way. Inspection passed!
The purpose of this tactic escapes me, but...will this accessory suffice?				Siriusシリウス
Phinaフィーナ	Well, it certainly screams "Sirius"... I must admit that it IS a striking look, though, so...inspection passed! Last but not least: me! My accessory multiplies a girl's charm several times over! What do you think?
How cute! It really does help you stand out too!				Norneノルン
Phinaフィーナ	With these, we should be able to catch Alfonse's eye—and those of the other Heroes too! Just wait! We're about to be the most dispatched crew in the castle! And that's how we'll be of the most use when it comes to creating peace in Askr!
I see... It must be my destiny...				Nagiナギ
Siriusシリウス	Such optimism... I should like to learn to be so positive myself.
All right... Now's the time! Let's put on those accessories and shine our brightest out there! Let everyone witness our mastery of both presence and appeal!				Phinaフィーナ
Norneノルン	Er, Phina... Hey, wait! ...Of course she'd run off like that. I know we want to help, but...I can't shake loose the feeling that there might be a better way...

A Time to Shine - B

English・Japanese

Phinaフィーナ	Hmm... Operation: Time to Shine isn't going as well as I hoped... How's it going on your end, Norne?
I haven't noticed any particular benefits yet, but, uhh... Oh! But I gave Princess Sharena an accessory, and I've seen her wearing it around the castle! So, I think she's enjoying her accessory, but...that might be all, benefit-wise.				Norneノルン
Phinaフィーナ	Hm. Could mean anything... We'll just have to keep trying and see if we can notice any CLEAR benefits! Sirius already has a mask... Maybe he could show up places and put on some kind of dramatic performance? "The Great Sirius, masked wanderer and knight who fight for true love!" ...Something like that—but better?
... Never.				Siriusシリウス
Phinaフィーナ	Hmph! Fine... But it would've DEFINITELY gotten us some attention... That much I know! What about...Nagi! Maybe some makeup to really highlight her otherworldly style? And we can lean into the fact she lost her memories to bring her tragic past to the forefront!
...Tragic...past?				Nagiナギ
Norneノルン	... Ah, er, Phina? I think...we may not need to work so hard to stand out.
Huh? Why not? If you don't work hard, you won't stand out, and then you won't get any chance to shine!				Phinaフィーナ
Norneノルン	This is just me talking, but...I've started thinking of the Order of Heroes a bit like a grand castle... The famous and active Heroes are outer walls, protecting...but also being all that anyone ever sees... BUT if ya don't have a solid foundation, the castle won't stay standing too long... No one ever really sees the foundation, and maybe no one even ever comments... But for me, being that foundation is just fine. I just want to help. Doesn't much matter how.
...				Phinaフィーナ
Siriusシリウス	Although it brings no fame, I must agree, the foundation's role is one of absolute necessity.
You just want to...help? You don't even care if you get recognition? ...Huh.				Phinaフィーナ

A Time to Shine - A

English・Japanese

Phinaフィーナ	I'm sorry, everyone. I messed up!
Oh, don't worry, Phina...				Norneノルン
Phinaフィーナ	I realized that whether you stand out has more to do with what's on the inside than what's on the outside. I feel awful about dragging you all along on my silly attempt at getting recognition... I'm sorry.
I learned long ago that to fight for glory is folly. If I can protect those dear to me, that is enough. As long as they are well, there is no need to stand out.				Siriusシリウス
Phinaフィーナ	You're right. And having seen how you conduct yourself, Sirius...I think I understand what you mean.
That said...being unable to afford to give your loved one a single gift is no point of pride for a knight... So, I actually...tried crafting my own variation on a proper accessory, but, well... What do you think?				Siriusシリウス
Phinaフィーナ	Sirius! A...SECOND accessory?!
I-it's actually quite dashing!				Norneノルン
Nagiナギ	I, too, have one more accessory...
Oh, wow! I didn't expect that... It's beautiful, though, Nagi!				Phinaフィーナ
Nagiナギ	I am not sure I understand their purpose... But I enjoyed making them. I may not have had any memories before... But now I have one...and it is a good one. Thank you...for including me...
Since everyone else did too, I guess I'll admit I also...made another accessory. I like to look good too, y'know!				Norneノルン
Phinaフィーナ	You...all...have AMAZING FASHION SENSE! I-it's incredible!
...Phina, you wanted to be deployed because you wanted to do whatever ya could to help everyone out. We could all sense that was your true motivation.				Norneノルン
Phinaフィーナ	R-right! Definitely NOT because I want to be in a position to spend time with Navarre on the battlefield!
Why— Are you...blushing?				Siriusシリウス
Nagiナギ	Phina... From here on, let us continue to work together...
Even if success eludes us at first, we needn't panic, only keep moving forward. That is what is important. If you never stop moving forward... someday, you will surely shine amongst the brightest of Heroes.				Siriusシリウス
Phinaフィーナ	You're right... And as long as I'm with you all, I know I'll make it in this...or in any world! Whatever role this world has in store for me, I'm ready to play it as best I can! That's a promise!

Phina: Roving Dancer

Phina: Roving Dancer - C

Olivia	Hmm... I thought she said we'd meet around here, but...
Oh! Olivia! What brings you here?		Fjorm
Olivia	Oh, hello, Princess Fjorm... Phina asked me to meet her here, but...I haven't seen her.
Oh, she did? Interesting. She invited me here as well... She said she needed my help...that she wanted to "try something out."		Fjorm
Phina	Hello, you two! Sorry to keep you! I'm glad you both came.
What exactly did you want to try, Phina? You haven't said...		Olivia
Phina	Well, as you know...we dancers dance to rejuvenate our friends in body and spirit, right?
Right... I often see Heroes who sing or dance assisting others on the battlefield.		Fjorm
Phina	Exactly! So, that got me thinking... What if two dancers danced for each other? Do you think...they could dance forever?!
I've never heard of anyone trying such a thing before...		Olivia
Fjorm	But is that...possible?
Only one way to know! And just think—this could change the very way the Order of Heroes does battle! It's revolutionary!		Phina
Olivia	It does seem worth a try.
OK! Then let's get to it!		Phina

Phina: Roving Dancer - B

Phina	All right, Princess Fjorm... Time to get some lance training in! Let's start with...100 attacks!
H-How many?! I'll do my best...		Fjorm
Hup—99! Yah—100! ...Phew! Training complete, Phina!		Fjorm
Phina	Then it's my turn! Time for a little dance... Here we go! Feel the energy... Let the flow of my steps give you strength...
My goodness! I can feel strength returning to my aching muscles! I think I can train even more!		Fjorm
Phina	...Whew! Now, Olivia...you show ME your dance! Then I'll feel revitalized, and we can keep on dancing!
Good idea, Phina! Er, umm...don't watch too closely! Uh— H-huh?! Something's off... I...can't seem to find my rhythm!		Olivia
Phina	Wh-what's going on, Olivia? I'm so tired... Now's no time to be shy...
I-I'm trying, Phina! I just can't seem to dance for you right now... I don't understand it either!		Olivia
Fjorm	Please try not to overexert yourself, Olivia... I'm sure there is some reasonable explanation.
I don't get it... Olivia's normally an amazing dancer. What could possibly be holding her back now?		Phina

Phina: Roving Dancer - A

Olivia	I don't understand.. Why can't I dance in front of Phina?
You really didn't seem yourself out there, to be truthful...		Fjorm
Olivia	It was a dance I perform all the time! And yet...
Heya! Sorry I'm late! Now, let's get started on our training—same as last time, all right? One difference is...this time I brought a backup dancer!		Phina
Silvia	I heard about your last session and couldn't stay away! Can't let you have ALL the fun, now can I?
I-I'm glad you came along, Miss Silvia!		Olivia
Silvia	Please, just call me Silvia. We're friends, right? ...Anyway, let's get started already!
I suppose...I must perform the 100 lance attacks again?		Fjorm
Phina	Would you, please? I'm sorry for asking so much of you... And then afterward, Olivia can dance for you!
Then, once Olivia is done, I'll dance for her, and she'll be rejuvenated again, right?		Silvia
Phina	Right! So...here we go!
Wah—99! Hyah—100! ...Phew! OK... Olivia, if you wouldn't mind...		Fjorm
Olivia	Y-you got it! Feel the soothing energy in my movements, Princess Fjorm...
...Oh wow! Thank you so much, Olivia. My strength has returned!		Fjorm
Silvia	All right, next up...it's me, Silvia, blossom of the battlefield! E-enjoy this...dance... Er... Wh-what's going on? Why can't I...dance?! All the steps feel wrong!
Oh no! You too, Silvia? J-just what exactly is going on around here?!		Phina

Phina: Roving Dancer - S

Anna	According to legend...long, long ago, there were two goddesses who both walked upon this world. The two goddesses began an endless cycle of rejuvenation, dancing with each other and for each other. ...Just as you are trying to do now.
...		Phina
Anna	The cycle of rejuvenation continued for 100 years without the goddesses ever missing a step. Then, on the morning of the 101st year, they both expired at once.
Oh-oh my!		Olivia
Anna	So, the story goes, that is why, in this world, dancers can't invigorate each other...
I can't believe it... And here I thought I'd come up with a revolutionary new way to do battle... Ugh!		Phina
Olivia	B-but...dancers can still train and practice dancing together...right?
Why don't we give it a try! C'mon, Phina! And...step, step, turn!		Silvia
Phina	...Step, step, turn! ...Hey, it's true! If we just practice together, our bodies behave normally! Unfortunately, that means my little project has to come to an end...
I-I'm sorry it didn't work out, Phina. I thought it was a good idea too... Don't beat yourself up about it. And remember that the Order of Heroes relies on you dancers nevertheless!		Fjorm
Silvia	It's true! If some cruel fate befell the beloved Silvia, Heroes the world over would surely weep!
Right! When the situation gets dire, we turn to dancers to help us return to full strength quickly! So take care of yourselves and treat yourselves well—we need you!		Anna
Phina	Heh. Then leave it to us! Now we all know each other thanks to this, AND we learned we can practice together! Dance training begins now... Let's hone our skills until they shine!

Norne: The Volunteer

Norne: The Volunteer - C

Norne	...Hah! And aim...and... Yah! Whew... Well, I can tell I'm improving, certainly... Just wish I didn't have so far still to go! Next time I see Kris, I want it to be clear how much I've grown! There're just so many master archers in the Order of Heroes...it's rough to compare myself to them. Their weapons are superb, and they all handle them with such ease... Maybe if I trained a little closer to the rest of them, I might pick up some master-level techniques...
...Why not become an apprentice?		???
Norne	Huh?! Wh-Who was... Am I imagining voices?! I thought I heard someone...
It is not your imagination.		???
Norne	Oh! I did hear something! But...no one's here... Could it have been a voice from heaven? A divine revelation?! Hmmm... I suppose I have nothing to lose asking to be taken on as a master archer's apprentice. If I want to keep improving, there's no reason not to! All right, then...here I go!
... Wait... Come back... ... I...need your help...		???

Norne: The Volunteer - B

Gordin	...Huh?! You want ME to teach you bow skills?
Yes! You're a skilled archer! I've thought so ever since Altea. So...would you mind teaching me? Please?		Norne
Gordin	Hmm... I dunno... Honestly, I'm still learning myself. I don't think I'm ready to teach anyone... ...Oh, I know! You could try asking my mentor, Jeorge!
Oh, right! Isn't he famous for being the best shot in Archanea?		Norne
Gordin	I'll tell you this: training with him was no walk in the woods, but...I sure learned a whole lot!
Then he must surely be a great teacher! I'll go ask him if I can be his apprentice right away! Thanks!		Norne
Uhh... It didn't go so well...		Norne
Gordin	Th-that was fast!
Jeorge said he doesn't just take on apprentices... You were a special case, I guess, Gordin.		Norne
Gordin	O-oh... Sorry...
Don't you worry! One little root in my path isn't enough to trip me up! I WAS sent a divine revelation, so I figure it's only matter of time. I'll just go ask someone else! Thanks, Gordin!		Norne
Gordin	...A divine revelation? Wonder what that's all about...

Norne: The Volunteer - A

Norne	*sigh* Yet another apprenticeship rejection... Worst of it is, everyone has a good reason why they can't train me... The prince of Frelia, the prince of Hoshido... There are so many master archers here, surely one could... Maybe if I ran around and asked each one? But...I'm scared that they'll just give me the cold shoulder... Hmm... Even WITH that revelation, no good opportunity has presented itself yet...
Is something the matter, milady?		Virion
Norne	Oh! You're, umm...Virion, right?
I am indeed! The Order of Heroes' most dignified bow handler, Virion, at your service! Now, if I overheard correctly, you are seeking a master of archery, are you not?		Virion
Norne	I am, yes!
Well, then, allow me to offer to teach you the most elegant approach to the basics you're ever likely to encounter. No need to thank me! I simply cannot bear seeing a lady like yourself in trouble. And between training sessions, we could, perhaps, find some time for tea as well, hm?		Virion
Norne	Ah, well... I mean, that's an extremely generous offer, but... Well, elegance isn't exactly my... thing, so...sorry!
Ah! ...Hey, wait! What do you mean elegance isn't your thing? I'm not clear what you mean! ...Come back!		Virion
Norne	*sigh* This apprenticeship search is not going as well as I'd hoped... ... I guess if I'm meant to be an average girl from an average village, so be it... Maybe...this is as strong as I get. Training to be as good as Jeorge and Gordin, even if it's to help the rest of the Order...might be beyond me...
Don't give up...		???
Norne	*GASP* Th-that voice! It's the same heavenly voice I heard the other day! Is this...another revelation?!

Norne: The Volunteer - S

Norne	That heavenly voice... I'm SURE I heard it this time!
If you're looking for me, up is the wrong direction... Look down. Behind you.		???
Norne	Huh?! It's coming from... Ah! Th-there's a hole! And...oh! Are you stuck in there? C'mon! I'll help you out! Rrrrrr-UGH! ...Phew! We did it!
I'm saved... Thank you...		Setsuna
Norne	Y-you sure surprised me! Not only was the hole unexpected, I never imagined someone would be IN it... You're Setsuna...right? So was it YOUR heavenly voice I heard the other day?
Heavenly...voice? Me? Well, I was the one who called out to you... I had fallen in a hole, you see... But someone eventually stopped to help me get out. ...And that's when I fell into this hole.		Setsuna
Norne	Oh... Well, I guess it wasn't really a divine revelation I heard, then...
It's just...you sounded sad, so... ... You're Norne, right? Well...I think you should give up trying to be like other people, Norne...		Setsuna
Norne	Wh-what?! I mean...I know I'm only an average villager, and my weapon isn't really anything special... But I still want people to be able to rely on me even so!
Do you think you need to become a great archer for others to rely on you?		Setsuna
Norne	...Huh. Well, I, uhh...
If your goal is to be useful...why not just offer the kind of support that comes naturally to you?		Setsuna
Norne	In a way that comes naturally, huh...
Even if you aren't the greatest archer ever, there are plenty of other ways to be helpful... Like encouraging others and preparing delicious meals... In those situations, it doesn't matter whether you were born a noble or a commoner...		Setsuna
Norne	... I was so focused on improving with the bow... I guess I lost sight of what I really wanted... But you're right...it's not like my goal was to become the best archer... The entire reason I picked up the bow in the first place...was to be of some use to others...
If that's your goal, there are ways to do so outside of using your bow... And if you know your goal, a little patience might help you achieve it... As long as you don't quit...you'll reach your goal someday... Probably.		Setsuna
Norne	Y'know...you're right! I'll just do my best without trying to rush it! I'm going to concentrate on helping out without worrying about how to bring my bow into every situation! Thank you for helping me find my direction... Turns out you actually did have some divine guidance for me!
Well, I hope you do your best... And once you've honed your helping skills a bit... I hope you'll help me out of the various holes and traps I tend to find myself in... And then...maybe I could help you practice your archery... If you're interested, I mean...		Setsuna
Norne	Oh, thank you, Setsuna!

Nagi: Dragon Avatar

Nagi: Dragon Avatar - C

Sharena	So, Nagi...when you were awoken in your world, you...had no memories?
Yes... I remember nothing from before Prince Marth awakened me... Only...the name Nagi, and...that I am a servant of the Divine Dragon's will...		Nagi
Sharena	That sounds...horrible! I can't imagine forgetting about everyone and all the things you care about... If I couldn't remember my family or any of the Heroes... I'm getting sad just thinking about it!
...		Nagi
Sharena	All right, Nagi—I've got it! I'm going to help you get your memories back!
...Is that so?		Nagi
Sharena	That's right! And even if we can't get all the memories, I want to help you remember SOMEthing, at least... Who knows—maybe you were called to Askr for that very purpose!
To...remember? Thank you, Princess Sharena... You are...a kind soul.		Nagi
Sharena	It's no problem at all! Actually... I already have a pretty good idea! Meet me here again tomorrow. I have a Hero I want you to meet!

Nagi: Dragon Avatar - B

Nagi	Princess Sharena... You asked me to meet you...
Yes! So you could meet...these people here!		Sharena
Deirdre	Pleasure to meet you... My name is Deirdre. I, too, once lost my memory.
I'm Robin. I'm a tactician with Chrom's group, the Shepherds. Maybe I was something else once, but...I can't remember anything from before I met Chrom!		Robin
Morgan	And I'm Morgan, son of Robin, the legendary tactician! Used to be all I could remember was my own name and my mother's name... Strange, right?
Morgan... Could you please not refer to me as a legendary tactician in front of people?		Robin
Morgan	Aw! Why not? Everyone always said you were the best tactician in the world! Plus it sounds so cool...
...Right! So, Nagi, as you can see, there ARE others just like you in the Order of Heroes already!		Sharena
Nagi	How curious...for there to be so many in one place...
Anyway, I thought you could help each other get your memories back!		Sharena
Morgan	Amnesiac Heroes, unite! Heh.
Princess Sharena already filled us in on the basics. I was thinking that, if we just talk to each other, perhaps we can pinpoint the root cause of our memory loss... And if we can do that, maybe we can regain our memories completely!		Robin
Deirdre	Speaking for myself, I am uncertain whether regaining my memory will bring me joy or pain... Yet, if among my lost memories there waits something I once held precious...it will be worth it.
I understand...and feel as you do...		Nagi
Sharena	...So, any progress? You've been talking for about a half day now...
I'm sorry... I still can't remember anything from...before.		Robin
Deirdre	I feel as though a thick fog has settled over my memories...
I'm sorry, Nagi! I guess we weren't much help to you after all...		Morgan
Nagi	No, thank you all... Your kindness alone...is enough. Each of you bears a strange destiny... and you have been brought here for some purpose... Do you feel it? In this world...your destiny can be reshaped... If you believe in yourself...and your friends... Someday...
Nagi... Thank you for giving us hope.		Robin
Morgan	Wow! We came to help you, but...you turned it around on us!
Well, I'm glad this experiment had a happy ending, but...no memories still... There must be another way!		Sharena

Nagi: Dragon Avatar - A

Sharena	So, I've been thinking, Nagi... Maybe one of the Heroes from Archanea knows about your past, being from the same place... If you can't remember, maybe someone else can!
Perhaps...		Nagi
Sharena	You just wait here, and I'll go ask around!
Sharena	...Bad news. I asked around, and no one seems to know anything about you... No one!
I see... As expected...		Nagi
Sharena	Someone thought maybe you came to Archanea from some other world, but that was just their wild guess... The mystery felt like it kept growing and growing, but I didn't let that stop me! For you see... I found another Manakete from Archanea within these walls: Tiki!
I'm here to help!		Tiki
Nagi	You are...the princess...heir of the Divine Dragon Naga... Within me stirs the Divine Dragon's will...compelling me to lend aid to the one who walks in light's path... You, Tiki, are like me... Perhaps the most like me...
Tiki, you've lived for thousands of years, right? If you've been alive that long... I was wondering if maybe you two had met before, but...		Sharena
Tiki	But I don't remember meeting you, Nagi. Or hearing about you... Nor do I remember seeing you in my dreams, during my long slumber.
...		Nagi
Tiki	I'm sorry... I just can't remember anything about you...
If that's true, then...maybe you really are from another world—er, than the world where you awoke, in Archanea.		Sharena
Tiki	B-but it is odd... When I look at you—though I know we never met before—I recognize you... How is that? Why do you feel so familiar, like you are not a stranger to me?
I do not know...but I feel the same looking at you... A gentle warmth... Yes... We share a bond, that is certain... Yet, the nature of that bond... still escapes me...		Nagi
Sharena	Hmm... Well, time for a new plan! It'd sure be nice if there were some key that would unlock her memory...

Nagi: Dragon Avatar - S

Sharena	I'm so sorry I couldn't be more help with recovering your memories, Nagi!
Do not apologize, Princess Sharena... I must thank you... I may not have memories, but... I do understand...my purpose here, in this world... In this world, as in mine...there is looming darkness... Yet there is a light, driving it back... I am here...to lend my power to 【Summoner】, fully...		Nagi
Sharena	A light to drive back the dark, huh? Sounds like an accurate description of the Heroes gathered here in Askr!
Princess Sharena... You, too, are among those rays of light...		Nagi
Sharena	M-me?
You, with your kind heart...who went out of your way to help me... You shine as bright as any, Sharena... As I am now...I am without a past... But I can help build the future... And that is enough...		Nagi
Sharena	Nagi! All your power, and you're willing to lend it to us?
Yes... From here on, to drive back the darkness...to keep bright the light of the Order... I will continue to walk alongside you... May the Divine Dragon protect and watch over you...		Nagi

Sirius: Mysterious Knight

Sirius: Mysterious Knight - C

Sirius	Let's end our training for the day there, Prince Alfonse.
As you wish. Thank you for taking the time to train with me today.		Alfonse
Sirius	Of course.
...		Alfonse
Sirius	Is something...the matter? Can I be of more service in some way? Beyond the training, that is...
Could— Please understand I mean no offense, of course, but... You seem very familiar to me... As if we've met before, somehow... And just now, training...your footwork and well-honed lance techniques... I believe I've seen them somewhere before...performed by another Hero. Would that...surprise you?		Alfonse
Sirius	... I suspect any similarities are merely commonalities, Prince Alfonse. And just your imagination beyond. Surely you've fought countless lancers who are, like me, mediocre...
No... There is nothing mediocre about the way you fight. The way you carry yourself betrays a long history of fierce battle... That much I can tell. Even among the Heroes here, I'd be confounded trying to find more than a few who can fight like you...		Alfonse
Sirius	Prince Alfonse, I assure you... I am a simple traveler. I fight only to protect others from grief... That is all I am. Nothing more. Now, if you will excuse me...
He sure left in a hurry... ...It's not just the way he fights either! Even his voice... It's all so familiar... What's Sirius hiding under that mask anyway...		Alfonse

Sirius: Mysterious Knight - B

Alfonse	Excuse me, Sirius... I'm sorry to pry, but... Why do you wear that mask? Apologies for being so direct...
...		Sirius
Alfonse	I ask as a comrade in arms...
... Fate...can be cruel. The man under this mask was... stubborn, only realizing what he valued when it was too late...		Sirius
Alfonse	...
So, to challenge fate's cruelty... he wears a mask.		Sirius
Alfonse	I see... So, you wear the mask to create a new fate...
I suspect the story is not unique among the Heroes summoned here. Others may choose heavy armor or legendary blades over a mask, but...we all seek to change fate.		Sirius
Alfonse	Thank you, Sirius. I think I understand the reason you wear a mask a little better now. You want not to run from fate but to face it and remake it—and for that, the mask is necessary.
I know it is...improper, but this mask frees me to do as I must, to pursue that which is important to me. ...So I may create some peace for myself in a world shaped by fate's cruel turnings.		Sirius

Sirius: Mysterious Knight - A

Alfonse	Sirius... I want to tell you something about my past... A friend I hold dear once donned a mask... And then they met me on the field as my enemy...
I see... I had assumed you asked about my mask out of curiosity. It seems I misjudged your intent.		Sirius
Alfonse	I want to understand...why my friend needs their mask...
Well, without knowing the details, it is difficult to say... But in order to raise his sword against you, he may have needed the mask. To point your blade at a friend is... painful. Perhaps they wore the mask to hide that pain...		Sirius
Alfonse	Someday, I hope...he will no longer need that mask...
Only he can know when, or if, that day will come...		Sirius
Alfonse	Will you...ever remove your mask?
I cannot say—not until I have done what I must. Until then, we can both only wait...		Sirius
Alfonse	...

Sirius: Mysterious Knight - S

Sirius	Ah, Prince Alfonse. Last we spoke, you asked me something... You asked whether I would remove this mask were I to achieve my goals...
I did, yes...		Alfonse
Sirius	You see...I have someone awaiting my return. When my goal is achieved, and the time to return comes... I may have no more need for this mask. That is why I must fight: to shed my past and start anew.
To shed the past... Could that be why my friend chose to wear his mask as well? To seek out a new life? No, that can't be it... Perhaps it was simply the turnings of his fate that forced him to wear the mask... That is what I must believe. When the time comes for him to remove his mask, we can work together again...		Alfonse
Sirius	Prince Alfonse, if you wish to walk alongside your friend once more, I will do what I can to assist you.
Thank you, Sirius...		Alfonse
Sirius	This is but a temporary form, but my wish to protect those I hold dear lives ever on in my heart of hearts.
I am glad, and happy you are willing to lend us your strength so that Askr can one day see peace.		Alfonse
Sirius	I will do my utmost to live up to your expectations of me. For now, this mask is me... But I shall hold fast to my dream of peace... And I will keep fighting for a future where I can feel the sun's light shine upon my face once more!
