Carrying the Torch/Ced: Sage of the Wind

Ced: Sage of the Wind - C

Alfonse	I’ve heard a lot from the Heroes of Jugdral about the Hero on the Wind. They say you inherited the legendary Forseti tome, and that you’re a great leader. We’re grateful to have you.
The praise for me is overblown. I am young and inexperienced, truth be told. Speaking of great leaders, though... Has Prince Leif made his way here as well?		Ced
Alfonse	He has indeed joined us.
Excellent. If there is anyone worthy of the title of Hero, it is him. For my part, I only ended up fighting for the right cause by circumstance. I left my homeland of Silesse to search for my father. I had no heroic aspirations.		Ced
Alfonse	And yet you wield the powerful wind magic of a crusader of old. Not only that, but you’ve used that power to protect people. You risked your life fighting for them. I can see why some might call you the second coming of the crusader who bore your name.

Ced: Sage of the Wind - B

Sharena	Hey, Alfonse, look over there. That’s Ced, isn’t it?
Yes, it is. And he appears to be surrounded by a group of children from the castle town.		Alfonse
Sharena	Oh, he’s reading to them! Aw, that’s so sweet. Do you think he does this kind of thing just for fun?
That will be all for today. We can pick up here next time. Until then, I hope you will be on your best behavior. No surprise detours on the way home this time, all right?		Ced
Sharena	Wow, look at the way they listen to him. He’s really earned their trust. Oh, he’s coming this way. I think he caught us watching him. Hi, Ced!
Princess Sharena, Prince Alfonse. Patrolling the castle town today?		Ced
Sharena	Yep! We stopped to watch you for a bit. What book were you reading with the children?
An Askran folklore text I bought to study this country’s history. It seems the children were keen to learn it too.		Ced
Sharena	They were clearly delighted to listen to you! Have you been reading to these children often?
It has become something of a habit for me, yes. I teach them what I can, including a bit of simple magic.		Ced
Sharena	That’s amazing! You really are dedicated to these children, aren’t you?
We are fighting for the future of Askr, and these children are the ones who will live that future. We may be in continual conflict now, but peace is on the horizon. I believe we should be prepared for it. That is why I am teaching them these skills—so they can thrive in the peace we build for them.		Ced
Alfonse	It’s quite conscientious of you, to put so much thought and hope toward the future of Askr in your spare time.
I think it’s amazing—and inspiring! Now I want to help too!		Sharena

Ced: Sage of the Wind - A

Ced	Interesting... That is potentially quite a useful technique...
Oh! Hi, Ced! How are you finding the castle library?		Sharena
Ced	Enlightening. History, tactics, magical theory...there is a great deal of new material for me to study. I am grateful to have access to such a treasure trove of knowledge.
I’m so glad to hear that!		Sharena
Ced	The theories in this book will prove useful in the next task I am assigned to. This one, for instance...
You know what I really admire about you, Ced? Despite your reputation as a great Hero, you don’t rest on your laurels. You’re always trying to be better.		Sharena
Ced	If that is true, then I attribute it to Prince Leif. Despite his youth, he demonstrated an incredible capacity for growth even in the midst of an awful war.
Well, I think you’re both amazing...		Sharena

Ced: Sage of the Wind - S

Leif	Prince Ced said that? I am humbled. Truthfully, I think I may be unworthy of the honor. I have a lot to learn before I can ever measure up to him.
Is that so?		Alfonse
Leif	I only managed to persevere because I had so many steadfast companions by my side. Alone, I would not have been much of an influence on the battlefield— to say nothing of the war at large. But thanks to my allies, I was able to overcome what would have been impossible odds without them.
I understand completely. It’s the same for me. I would be lost without Sharena, Commander Anna, and 【Summoner】.		Alfonse
Leif	If you ask me, people like Prince Ced are the true heroes. He possesses the blood of a crusader and a divine weapon, and yet he is not consumed by his own power. He constantly strives to be a better servant to the people. That is what makes him worthy of his namesake. I truly believe he is the next coming of the crusader Ced. He will be a legend someday.
Prince Alfonse. Prince Leif. May I ask what topic of conversation has you so invested?		Ced
Alfonse	Perfect timing, Prince Ced. We were just discussing how grateful we are to have such wonderful allies. You and Prince Leif are exactly the kind of Hero Askr needs. Having you here is incredibly reassuring to me. I hope you’ll continue to support the Order of Heroes moving forward.
