Tatiana	What a wonder Askr is. I've never seen so many heroic figures all gathered in one place!
Palla	It's true. I've seen many things in my travels and fought my fair share of battles, but... Before now, the largest battles I had experienced had only a few people of such a caliber on either side. Seeing so many Heroes gathered together is a thrill!
Luthier	Askr may be blessed with strength in numbers, but that doesn't make it invincible. Far from it, in fact. As we have seen, dangers continue stalking the kingdom even with this many Heroes at its defense.
Tatiana	This many Heroes...
Zeke	It is unusual for you to look so solemn, Tatiana... Is something wrong? What worries you?
Tatiana	Oh, Zeke... It's just... Well... With all of the Heroes here, it's likely at least one of them knows about your past, right?
Zeke	Perhaps... Perhaps not...
Luthier	Ah... So, you are inflicted with an unfortunate case of amnesia, eh?
Tatiana	I found him washed up on the shore, on the brink of death, but I nursed him back to health. Even though I restored his body, I couldn't heal his memory. He had to start over... A new life...
Zeke	I was unable to remember even my own name. Emperor Rudolf, in his benevolence, gave me this one. It was also he who recognized the one vestige of my former life: my skill with a lance.
Palla	...
Tatiana	When we fell in love, I prayed he would never remember his past... or any lover he left behind. The other clerics said such selfish desires would never sway the will of the divine.
Zeke	Tatiana, that's—
Tatiana	I want what's best for Zeke, so... I thought we could ask around to see what we might learn. Will you help me, Palla? And you too, Luthier! For Zeke?
Luthier	I will do what I can, but I know just as much about this place as any of you three do.
Tatiana	Palla, you've been all over Valentia and beyond in your travels, right? Do you have any idea where to start?
Palla	Hm. I suppose you have a point. Let me think, and I'll see what I can come up with. ... ...Who would possibly know more about his early life? Hmm...

ティータ	アスク王国ってすごいのね…。 あんなにたくさんの英雄を 見たのははじめて…
パオラ	私もいくつかの戦いに 参加したことがあるけど… あれほどの名だたる英雄たちが 揃っているところは見たことないわ。 なんとも壮観ね。
リュート	裏を返せば、それだけの 英雄が集まっているというのに 危機は去っていないということだろう。 この世界での戦い… さぞや厳しいものになるだろうな。
ティータ	……
ジーク	どうしたティータ。 珍しいな。君が神妙な顔をするなんて。
ティータ	あのね、ジーク… 私、思ったの。 これだけ英雄がいるなら ジークの素性を知っている人も いるんじゃないか、って。
ジーク	……
リュート	ジーク、お前… 記憶を失っていたんだったな。
ティータ	傷を負って海岸で倒れていた ジークを、私が見つけたの。 命は助かったけど… 怪我のせいか、記憶は戻らなかった…
ジーク	このジークという名前も ルドルフ陛下に付けていただいたもの。 私が唯一覚えているのは… 槍の使い方だけだった。
パオラ	……
ティータ	私ね、こう願ったことがあるの。 ジークの記憶が戻らなければ ずっと一緒に居られるかもしれないって。 でも、シスターがそんなこと 願っちゃダメだよね。 きっと神様は、許してくれないよ。
ジーク	ティータ…
ティータ	だから、ジークのことを知っている 英雄を探してみようと思うの。 リュート、パオラ。力を貸して！ ね？　ダメかな？
リュート	お、俺は別にかまわんが… 特段知り合いもいないし あまり力にはなれないと思うぞ。
ティータ	パオラはどう？ バレンシア大陸だけじゃなく 隣の大陸のことも詳しいんだよね？
パオラ	そ、そうね…いいわよ。 私でよければ、力になるわ。 …… …私の記憶が正しければ… …ジークが失った過去というのは…

Palla	Princess Minerva, might we speak for a moment?
Minerva	Of course, Palla… How has life in Askr been treating you?
Palla	Very well, thank you. Commander Anna and my sisters have seen to making me comfortable here… Speaking of new lives here in Askr… Can you recall the soldier I arrived here with?
Minerva	Ah. You mean the one who calls himself Zeke? He may not remember me, but I will not soon forget him.
Palla	That’s what I thought… A cleric named Tatiana is seeking answers about his past. Should we tell her what we know?
Minerva	You arrived here from Valentia, didn’t you? Spending time there with your sisters?
Palla	Well, yes. Catria and I couldn’t very well have left Est to her kidnappers.
Minerva	This may come as a shock, but not long after you return, Archanea again erupts into war.
Palla	Wh-what?! I thought we put all that bloody business behind us for good!
Minerva	I can only speak of my own world, of course. Perhaps different events transpire in yours… I bring this up because it was in that new conflict that I met the man this Zeke becomes.
Palla	He must have remembered who he was by that point, right?
Minerva	I cannot say… But he hid his face behind a mask and lent his strength to Prince Marth under a new name.
Palla	Well, that all but confirms it! Wouldn’t it be better for him to learn the truth sooner rather than later?
Minerva	No. He must discover these things in his own way, in his own time. And his past and future selves are in Askr. For all we know, they may have their own feelings on the matter–or even their own plan.
Palla	You’re right. Thank you for taking the time to discuss this with me… I will take your counsel under advisement.

Luthier	…And that’s how I got roped into helping Zeke regain his memories.
Delthea	Huh… Amnesia, is it? There sure are a lot of amnesiacs here, come to think of it…but none of them seem to mind much.
Luthier	Well, in this case, it isn’t up to us anyway. But I figured we could try doing what we do best: we could search for a magical solution to the problem! What do you say? Help your poor brother out of a bind…
Delthea	I could help, but…this seems like a great opportunity for you to make some friends! Don’t think I haven’t seen you taking your meals alone in the corner.
Luthier	Th-that has nothing to do with this!
Delthea	Sure. Anyway, I just remembered a…uh…urgent thing I…need to do. I’m sure you’ll do great, Luthier!
Luthier	Huh? Hey, where are you– Get back here! Hmph. Fine. If that’s how you want to be… Cracking this case can’t be that hard, can it? All I have to do is… …figure out how to… …do something no mage has ever done before. Ugh… What have I gotten myself into? I suppose I could experiment on Zeke, but…who knows what might happen if I tried… Actually, does Zeke even want his memories back? Tatiana wants to find out FOR him, of course, but… I guess I’ll take Delthea’s hint and just ask Zeke himself.

Zeke	Thus far, I’ve let sleeping dogs lie for fear of what I may awaken.
Luthier	Yes… Bit of a conundrum…
Zeke	My desire to learn of my past has always been tempered by the potential consequences. I’m sorry… I know Tatiana asked you to do this for her, but–
Luthier	Well, I’d wager I’d get just as much out of it as she would. Imagine the strides I could make in research of long-term memory, for example! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Say your memory did return… What would change?
Zeke	Simply put, nothing. I will do what I’ve always done either way… Risking my life to protect those I hold dear is who I am.
Luthier	I see. That makes sense, logically. If you already have a direction, knowing where you came from isn’t as important. Is that it? If your future is already decided, nothing in your past can change it.
Zeke	I’m glad my reasoning is clear. And I appreciate your opinion. So, thank you for your counsel, Luthier. You are wise beyond your years. I will seek you out for advice in the future. I need more friends who can offer wise counsel.
Luthier	…Friend? You’re talking about me?! R-right! Of course! …Which brings my grand total up to…four? Five? …Wow!
Tatiana	Palla! There you are. I’ve been looking everywhere for you.
Palla	Is this about Zeke’s memory?
Tatiana	Yes. You don’t need to worry about any of that. Zeke and I talked it over, and we’re ending the search. We’ve resolved to live here in the present–both for each other, and for Askr.
Palla	I see… Sticking to the present, then. Then his past no longer haunts him.
Tatiana	We need each other now more than ever before. No matter what the future holds for us… No matter what he remembers, my feelings for him won’t change.
Palla	Your resolve is admirable. There are not many who can face matters of the heart so head-on. That attitude will surely carry you and Zeke through whatever lies ahead on your journey together.
Tatiana	Thank you… I know that together, we can overcome anything that stands in out way. And with support from you and everyone else, our future is a bright one indeed!

Palla	Was Catria...wearing bunny ears? I'm not seeing things, am I? Surely it's a Catria from another world, but what kind of strange world could it be?
Fjorm	Oh, the spring festival isn't all that strange! She is most likely from another world, though. Actually... How do I say this... I've seen you in rather similar bunny ears too...
Palla	That was DEFINITELY a me from another world.
Fjorm	It's no cause for alarm, and you're not the first Hero to experience this shock—even I've been in your place!
Est	Hey! Are you my biggest sis?
Palla	Hm? Are you lost, little ones? I— Wait a minute...
Palla	It's nice to meet you...er, meet me? ...I don't really know anymore.
Palla	Oh, my. You look just like I did back when the Whitewings were just a dream for me! And Catria and Est are still so small... To think even young Heroes can be summoned here!
Fjorm	It's not only you and your sisters... You'll find a young Marth, Caeda, Merric, and Minerva here as well! They may be small, but they offer contributions of no less value than that of any other Hero!
Catria	Hmm... "Biggest" sister, did you say? You may be on to something, Est... May we call you that...Biggest Sis?
Palla	Whatever you like, Catria. I'll be here for you two—er, you three?—any time you need me.
Palla	Thank you! We may still have a lot to learn, but I can't think of a better person to mentor us!

Est	Am I holding the lance right, Biggest Sis? You said the pointy bit goes this way, right?
Palla	Yes, that's good, Est. Now tighten up your stance a little bit here, and... Perfect. Just like that!
Palla	I'm sorry... I know this time was supposed to be focused on my training, but...
Palla	No need to apologize! I always have time for my sisters...and for you.
Fjorm	Adorable to see you all getting along like...well, family! Such ties truly do transcend worlds.
Palla	I've always wondered what it would be like to have an older sister, and now I know.
Palla	Haha. If that's how you want to think of me, I won't be the one to stop you.
Palla	Well, we are kind of the same person, so...sister is probably the closest word for our relationship...right?
Est	Bigger Sis, you should really listen to Biggest Sis! She's really smart! And pretty too!
Catria	Now, Est. Don't embarrass your sisters...preferably any of them...
Fjorm	Heh... *sigh*
Est	Princess Fjorm, are you all right? You look sad all of a sudden...
Fjorm	Hm? Oh, i-it's nothing... I was just reflecting upon my own family. I have two sisters and a brother of my own, so seeing you all happy together brought back memories.
Est	Oh, wow! So you're part of a sister trio like us, huh? Do you three play together all the time too?
Fjorm	Well, not as of late, no... That is... my sister Gunnthrá has moved on to a better place.
Palla	Oh, Princess Fjorm... I'm sorry for your loss.
Est	Oh, so that's why... I'm sorry!
Fjorm	It's fine, really. With all the Heroes around, it's actually quite easy to find company. Thank you for your concern, though. I can tell that you were brought up well, Est.
Palla	I'm sure a certain someone I know had a hand in that, eh?
Palla	That's right. And Catria too! I can't say I'd have it any other way.

Catria	Don't be selfish, Est! You already have a perfectly pretty flower.
Palla	What's all this about flowers?
Palla	Princess Sharena was kind enough to give each of us a different flower, but, well... Est prefers mine, and nothing we say can change her mind.
Est	*sniff* This one is pretty and all, but... I like that one more!
Palla	Fine, fine. There's not much we can do when she gets like this... Here.

Catria	Palla... We really must teach Est the value of self-control one of these days.
Palla	Heehee. It's just like a window into the past... Even when we were small, you were the glue that kept us together, Catria.
Catria	You flatter me, Sister. I'm just saying what needs to be said, that's all.
Palla	It is strange, though... Lately Est and I have begun liking the same sorts of things. What happens when we both want something that can't be shared quite so easily?

Palla	Whatever makes my sisters happy makes me happy. Their joy is the most precious gift of all. Since we're so much alike, surely you must feel the same way, right?
Palla	Of course! While I dream of joining the Whitewings for Macedon's sake, it's not my true focus... What I want more than anything is to see my sisters happy. That's why I will rise to any challenge and endure any hardship.
Catria	Sister...
Palla	As a sister, and as family, you must sometimes put their needs above your own. I'm glad to see you demonstrate that resolve...because you're going to need it in the future.
Palla	That sounds...scary...
Palla	I'm sorry! I don't mean to scare you! Just keep your chin up, and it will all turn out fine. All right?
Palla	I will do my best to remember that. Thank you.
Palla	Whatever the sisterly trio does, we do together, as one. If one of us gets in trouble, the other two will drop everything to help. That kind of support is how our family survives... It's how you will keep it alive.
Catria	...Just exactly what kind of trouble does Est get into in the future?
Est	Huh? ME?! I'm a good girl, Catria! Don't be such a meanie!
Palla	Now, now... No need to fight. We're supposed to all stick together, remember?
Palla	That's right. The bonds you three foster now will serve you all, both on and off the battlefield.
Palla	Thank you for all of your advice... We will remember everything you told us and try to never forget it!

Luthier	So, this is the Great Library of Askr… Its size and scale are truly a sight to behold. How long would it take to read every volume in these halls I wonder? Decades, surely…
Sophia	Ah! I almost forgot to get a book of bedtime stories for Fae!
Saias	Now then, what will today’s rows have to offer? If I remember right, I left off somewhere around here…
Luthier	The presence of patrons like these speaks volumes. Each is a powerful mage or scholar in their own right.
Reinhardt	Excuse me, young man.
Luthier	Gah! Wh-who are you?
Reinhardt	Ah, please, forgive my rudeness… I do not believe we’ve been introduced to one another. I am Reinhardt of Friege. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Luthier	Oh. Right. I’m Luthier. I’m…a student of magic. It’s…nice to meet you too.
Reinhardt	Luthier… I see. Miss Delthea made mention of your arrival. She speaks of you often. You may be interested to know that I have a younger sister who has aspirations of becoming a mage too.
Luthier	Wait–Delthea speaks of me often? That troublemaker didn’t go and say anything embarrassing, I hope… I was just admiring the library. It’s like a treasure trove.
Reinhardt	I daresay you are not the first mage summoned to Askr to feel that way. Nor the last, I suspect.
Luthier	Does Delthea study here often?
Reinhardt	Delthea’s talents lie in more… practical applications of her ability, if you understand my meaning. She seems able to learn more from a single battle than from an entire semester of a classroom study.
Luthier	Of course… She was never one to bury her nose in a book, no matter how I asked her to apply herself…
Reinhardt	What works for one student may not always be suitable for another. We all learn in different ways. You may be surprised to discover just how far she has come during her time here.
Luthier	Hm… So she’s gotten to you too…

Lute	No, I don’t think that’s quite right. According to this tome, we should be adding fresh water.
Lysithea	Hm… That just might work. All right, let’s backtrack and try again.
Luthier	I see the library is as lively as ever. Students of all kinds, some doing experiments, some simply reading.
Knoll	There must be a clue to the mysteries of time shear in one of these musty tomes…
Kliff	Hmm… One more thing nobody is going to believe when I get back home to my world.
Luthier	Seems like all are free to get lost in the pleasure of reading for hours on end. Excellent… Just my kind of place! I’ll be able to focus without any annoying distra–
Canas	Hello! Are you Delthea’s older brother, by chance?
Luthier	Wah! Why are you sneaking around? You scared me half to death!
Canas	Ah, forgive me. I’m Canas, dark mage by trade and fervent researcher of all things magical.
Luthier	Dark mage, huh? Sorry, but I’d rather not associated with that sort of magic. If you don’t mind…
Canas	I understand. It is only natural to fear those who do not themselves fear the unknown. And the discipline is known to have, shall we say…unique effects on those who make a study of it.
Luthier	“Unique,” huh? And you’re trying to paint that as a good thing?
Canas	Considering how excitable Delthea is, I did not expect that her older brother would be quite so grounded.
Luthier	We share parents, but the similarities end there. And her attitude doesn’t help matters.
Canas	Is that so?
Luthier	I am decent mage in my own right, but my ability pales in comparison to hers. She’s aware of her gift and yet doesn’t bother to put any effort into developing it through study. The idea of her never reaching her true potential…is a source of endless frustration for me.
Canas	Hm… I see…

Canas	You are diligent indeed, Luthier. You may even spend more time in this library than I do!
Luthier	Well, it’s not as if I have anywhere to go…
Canas	Perhaps, perhaps… I’ve been meaning to ask you… You said your power paled in comparison to your sister’s… Yet the potential you displayed in the most recent skirmish cannot be denied.
Luthier	Maybe… As siblings, we both inherited powerful mage blood. But the family’s magical gifts are expressed most strongly in the women, so… One is born with a certain capacity. If one cannot hear the spirits’ voices, one never will. No matter how hard I train, I can never hope to match the power she was born with in her blood.
Canas	I see. A bloodline that strong may well have some beneficial effects on those who inherit it… It’s hard to argue against that given that so many Heroes here come from powerful bloodlines as well.
Luthier	Of course. I’m not surprised.
Canas	Have I ever told you that my three brothers and I inherited our magical aptitude from our mother? One of my older brothers should have been the one to continue perfecting her art, but… Well, let’s just say the task fell to the one most lacking in aptitude: me.
Luthier	My interest is piqued… I would love to hear more of that story.

Canas	My brothers were dedicated to the study of elder–or dark–magic above all other things in life. They were eager to learn our family’s secrets and harness its power. Too eager, in fact. In the end, the dark forces they studied so fervently consumed their bodies and minds. They live and breathe…their eyes open and close… But they no longer move or speak.
Luthier	I… I don’t know what to say… That’s truly awful…
Canas	Innate aptitude is vital to harnessing elder magic, but above all else, one must be able to resist temptation. That said, I stand before you today not because of what I inherited from my mother… I am here because my wife was there to keep me grounded and provide me with perspective.
Luthier	Huh… I hadn’t imagined you to be the type to put effort into finding a companion.
Canas	…Pardon?
Luthier	Huh? Oh! Nothing!
Canas	Despite how I appear now, I may well succumb to darkness if I ever let my guard down. I have a thirst for knowledge, but I must be careful not to drink so deeply I drown myself.
Luthier	So, you’re saying…it’s more about what you do with your gifts than how you got them?
Canas	Exactly. Self-control and strength of will are the domain of the mind, not the blood. Your purpose may well be to help others harness their power before you focus on your own.
Luthier	Others like Delthea, you mean? Young as she may be, she, too, once fell prey to darkness–to a sinister brainwashing. She emerged unscathed, but I’ve been trying to teach her to avoid the same thing happening again. But perhaps I taught her the wrong lesson in the process. Maybe I should have pushed her less as a mage and supported her more as a sister.
Canas	It’s never too late to start. Surely your reunion here in Askr presents a golden opportunity…
Luthier	You may be right. Thank you, Canas. Your counsel has been enlightening. I haven’t been in Askr long, so I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect of people here. Back home, I only really counted the village strays and Alm among my friends… Would you mind if…I call you a friend too?
Canas	I would be honored, Luthier.
Luthier	R-really? That’s great! Yes! Er, I mean…happy to hear it. I was a little uneasy when I first arrived, but everything seems to have worked out. From now on, Delthea is my little sister first and our family’s legacy second. That, I can promise you.

Peony	Many have lost their homes or their families to conflict. They come here seeking solace. As a woman of faith yourself, I’m sure you understand. Now let me introduce you to everyone!
Brady	Well, well, Peony. Brought someone new along, I see…
Tatiana	Yah! Please, good sir, you can have my valuables, but pray don’t steal anything from this church!
Brady	Hey! Don’t get your habit in a twist now, all right?! Calm down!
Azama	Now, Brady… You know when you raise your voice like that, you’re bound to frighten a lady!
Brady	Er…right. Sorry ‘bout that.
Tatiana	N-no, it is I who should apologize… It seems there’s been something of an unfortunate misunderstanding…
Lena	Ah, hello– Tatiana, was it? Thank you for taking the time to visit this holy place today.
Nanna	Though our methods of worship may differ, we are all united in our calling to help those in need.
Maria	We’d never turn away anyone, much less a fellow healer! Come, and make yourself at home.
Tatiana	Thank you very much! I can be a little clumsy at times, but I’ll do my best to help out!
Brady	Don’t go and push yourself too hard. We’ve got a lotta folks countin’ on us to keep things runnin’ smoothly.
Peony	An interesting bunch, all in all! Oh, and I’ll be around too, so just shout if you need me!
Tatiana	Thank you so much, Peony. I won’t let you or the other healers down. You have my word!

Wrys	The healing powers of a staff are wondrous, and we should exercise them at every opportunity. With that said, there are times we must rely on other methods, such as salves and potions. Used correctly, they can be quite effective at alleviating pain. Now, everyone pair up for practice.
Tatiana	Y-yes, sir!
Brady	Whatever you say.
Tatiana	All right, Brady, I’ll just– Oh! Brady, your hands! They’re covered in cuts and scratches! Are you hurt?
Brady	Eh, there was this alley cat who needed a hand havin’ her litter last night. They weren’t exactly cooperative, but don’t worry about that. All part of the job.
Tatiana	Well..since we’re practicing with salves, would you be my partner for today? I can treat your hands! It’s never good to let wounds fester… Just give me a little time to get everything ready!
Brady	I can tell you’re not gonna take no for an answer, so…fine. You win! But that salve looks a little…off.
Tatiana	This? Midori gave it to me! She knows all about herbs, and poultices…and tinctures too! She told me to keep it in a cool place, so I tucked it away in the castle’s pantry.
Brady	Yeah, about that… Rumor is her stuff tastes more like poison than potion.
Tatiana	Lucky you! This is a salve, so no tasting required. Now let’s see… Wrys said directly to the wound…
Brady	I dunno if I’d call this luck– YEOUCH! Is it supposed to sting like that?! Did you have to slather on so much?!
Tatiana	That just means it’s working, right? Midori knows her stuff!
Brady	No salve I’ve ever heard of makes ya wanna wash yourself off with a bucket of ice water! Hey, wait a minute… Let me see that. THIS IS HOT SAUSE!
Tatiana	Oh no! Did I grab the wrong thing from the pantry? Everything did look rather similar…
Brady	Who CARES?! Just get it off of me! The burning…it’s…it’s…
Tatiana	Of course! I’m so sorry!
Wrys	…Looks like Tatiana and Brady are having fun. They make quite the pair. Ah, to be young again… The skills they learn here today will likely help them save countless lives in the future…
Brady	IT BURNS!

Serra	For the common folk of Askr, it’s just one hardship after another… That’s why we need to work harder than ever. …This is Serra’s time to shine!
Tatiana	I’m just glad to help. I baked some bread just for this occasion.
Natasha	Wow! You certainly did. Baking that much must have been a lot of work!
Tatiana	Well, it’s nothing compared to what these poor souls have been through.
Brady	It looks pretty good as far as bread goes, but…something is giving me a bad feelin’ about this. Looks can deceive… I’d better give it a taste before we hand it out.

Tatiana	Those are kind words, Peony… Thank you. I should be cheering people up, not feeling down in the dumps myself! All it takes is a little kindness to turn a frown upside down! You’ve shown me that…
Peony	I’m happy I could be helpful! Having a sweet dream of the future is great, but you have to act to make it a reality! Remember that.

Camus	Fate works in mysterious ways. Zeke is yet another example of how my failings have split its tapestry into dissonant threads. For me, he lies ahead…but you have moved beyond him, have you not?
Sirius	In my own way, yes. But you need not feel responsible. Our fates span many worlds now. After all, you are still you. The path Zeke walks is his and his alone. Do not feel like you have to follow in his footsteps…or mine either, for that matter.
Camus	I take comfort in your wisdom. Your counsel has always been invaluable. I chose to learn things no man should know about his future…but I believe it is for the better.
Sirius	And I agree. We are of the same mind in that regard, you and I. Though I do suppose that is a given. As someone who has lived life ahead of you, I would be remiss not to educate you.
Camus	You said that, after you lost your memory, you recovered it after some time, yes? If that’s the case, how long until Zeke recovers his?
Sirius	My memory indeed returned with time, but I cannot say his will with any certainly.
Camus	Then we face a choice: do we reveal the path ahead, or do we let him find it for himself?
Sirius	We should not take this decision lightly… We ought to spend some time sparring to clear our heads.
