Darkness to Light/Karin: Driven Knight

Karin: Driven Knight - C

Erinys	A-all right, let me get this straight. I’m...the queen of Silesse? Are you sure?
Yes! You were wise, incredibly kind, and greatly admired by everyone!		Karin
Erinys	I suppose if it’s true that I’m Ced’s mother, and he is prince of Silesse, then that all makes sense, but... Oh, blast! I can’t wrap my head around this!
Um... What’s the matter, Your Highness?		Karin
Erinys	You know, Karin, right now I’m not a queen of anything. I’m just a pegasus knight. So I would appreciate it if you could simply call me Erinys.
R-really!? But it would be such a discourtesy to call you by your name!		Karin
Erinys	I know you feel that way, but every time you address me as “queen,” I get chills. Like someone’s glaring at me...
...		Silvia
Karin	Oh! In that case, please let me call you Lady Erinys, at the very least!
W-well, all right. I suppose I can accept that.		Erinys
Karin	I can’t believe I get to meet you, Lady Erinys, at the point when you were still an active pegasus knight! Gallant, noble, beautiful! You’re a shining example of what a pegasus knight is supposed to be.
Aren’t you exaggerating things a bit? Karin, you’re a pegasus knight supporting Silesse too, aren’t you?		Erinys
Karin	Um, well... Th-that’s actually... I don’t know how to put this, but...
What’s the matter? You seem anxious about something.		Erinys
Karin	It’s just... I do ride a pegasus, but I’m not officially a pegasus knight yet.

Karin: Driven Knight - B

Karin	So, these are the training grounds where the Heroes hone their skills. All right. I can’t let Lady Erinys down. I’m going to meet her expectations. Lady Fee, please watch me train. I WILL become a full-fledged knight!
Exhausted already? Begnion’s Holy Guard won’t accept less than your best effort!		Tanith
Marcia	Ah! I-I’m sorry. I can keep going! Hyaaah!
Farina. Florina. Don’t slow down. Keep at it on both sides!		Fiora
Farina	All right! Leave it to me!
Let’s go, Huey. We’ve got to keep up!		Florina
Karin	Oh, wow, so many pegasus knights! The training is harsh, but look at the flying formations. It’s so inspiring! I won’t let myself fall behind! Right, Hermes?
*neigh*		Hermes
Sumia	So his name is Hermes? He seems like a good-natured pegasus.
Oh! H-hello there! I’m a pegasus knight... Err, in-training. From Silesse! My name is Karin!		Karin
Sumia	I’m Sumia, one of the Shepherds. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
The pleasure is all mine! I can’t wait to become an official knight. I want to be able to help everyone!		Karin
Sumia	U-um, well, if you don’t mind, would you...like to train with me for a little while?
You really mean that? I’d love to! It would be an honor!		Karin
*huff* *huff* Thank you so much!		Karin
Sumia	No, no, thank you. I just hope I’ve been of some help to you, even if just a little.
I could barely keep up with you. The path to becoming a full-fledged pegasus knight is tough.		Karin
Sumia	When I set out to become a pegasus, knight, I didn’t even have a pegasus. You not only have a bond with yours already, you also have the talent required to excel.
Talented enough to be a pegasus knight? Me? If only that were true...		Karin

Karin: Driven Knight - A

Karin	Great work, Hermes. You really gave your all in training again today.
*neigh*		Hermes
Karin	I still feel like I’m not good enough for the Order of Heroes though. Miss Sumia said that I’ve got talent and all, but... Watching those legendary pegasus knights train shakes my confidence. I wonder if I really can become an official pegasus knight.
*neigh*		Hermes
Karin	In Silesse, I couldn’t help the the ailing Queen Erinys because I was too inexperienced. At least here, in the Kingdom of Askr, I want to be of service to Lady Erinys. All I can do is my best, I suppose. This is my problem, after all.
*NEIGH*		Hermes
Karin	Kyah! Hermes?! C-calm down! Wh-what’s wrong?!
It seems like...he’s upset with you.		Lilith
Karin	Hermes is...angry? How can you tell?
I...can understand his feelings. That is, I understand his words.		Lilith

Karin: Driven Knight - S

Lilith	Sorry, I should have introduced myself first. My name is Lilith. I’m charged with handling stable duties here. You are Karin from Silesse, correct? Where Annand and Erinys are from?
Y-yes. My name is Karin. I’m training to be a pegasus knight.		Karin
Hermes	*neigh* *neigh*
No, Hermes! He’s acting really upset. Is it because I’m not a good enough rider after all?		Karin
Lilith	It’s quite the opposite. It seems like he’s angry precisely because he trusts and cares for you. There, there. Good boy. That’s better now.
*neigh*		Hermes
Karin	Whew, he’s finally calmed down. Thank you, Miss Lilith. He sometimes gets cranky when men bother him, but he’s normally such a well-behaved boy.
Hermes has a message for you. He said he wants to do his best together with you, Karin.		Lilith
Karin	Huh? Hermes said that?
He tells me that you said this is your problem, and that it is all up to you to do your best. A pegasus knight is never alone. Hermes wants to help you and grow together with you.		Lilith
Karin	Hermes... I didn’t think of that, but you’re right. A pegasus knight is steed and rider, working as one. Hermes and I have to become strong together.
*neigh* *neigh*		Hermes
Karin	I’ve been thinking too much about myself. I forgot to take Hermes’s feelings into consideration. I’m sorry, Hermes. I didn’t come to Askr to accomplish this alone. I came with you.
*neigh*		Hermes
Lilith	Karin, you have a bond with Hermes. That bond is the most important thing there is for a pegasus knight.
Thank you so much, Miss Lilith! I guess I lost sight of what was really important.		Karin
Lilith	Hermes is very happy to hear you say that. Do your best here, you two. I’ll be cheering you on.
I’m sorry, Hermes. From now on, we’ll work to get stronger together! With your help, I know I can become a great pegasus knight and protect the people I care about.		Karin
