English・Japanese

Tatianaティータ	What a wonder Askr is. I've never seen so many heroic figures all gathered in one place!		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...
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!		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。		Pallaパオラ
Luthierリュート	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.		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。
This many Heroes...		......		Tatianaティータ
Zekeジーク	It is unusual for you to look so solemn, Tatiana... Is something wrong? What worries you?		どうしたティータ。 珍しいな。君が神妙な顔をするなんて。
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?		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。		Tatianaティータ
Zekeジーク	Perhaps... Perhaps not...		......
Ah... So, you are inflicted with an unfortunate case of amnesia, eh?		ジーク、お前... 記憶を失っていたんだったな。		Luthierリュート
Tatianaティータ	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...		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...
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.		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。		Zekeジーク
Pallaパオラ	...		......
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.		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。		Tatianaティータ
Zekeジーク	Tatiana, that's—		ティータ...
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?		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？		Tatianaティータ
Luthierリュート	I will do what I can, but I know just as much about this place as any of you three do.		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。
Palla, you've been all over Valentia and beyond in your travels, right? Do you have any idea where to start?		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？		Tatianaティータ
Pallaパオラ	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...		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パオラ	Princess Minerva, might we speak for a moment?
Of course, Palla... How has life in Askr been treating you?				Minervaミネルバ
Pallaパオラ	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?
Ah. You mean the one who calls himself Zeke? He may not remember me, but I will not soon forget him.				Minervaミネルバ
Pallaパオラ	That’s what I thought... A cleric named Tatiana is seeking answers about his past. Should we tell her what we know?
You arrived here from Valentia, didn’t you? Spending time there with your sisters?				Minervaミネルバ
Pallaパオラ	Well, yes. Catria and I couldn’t very well have left Est to her kidnappers.
This may come as a shock, but not long after you return, Archanea again erupts into war.				Minervaミネルバ
Pallaパオラ	Wh-what?! I thought we put all that bloody business behind us for good!
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.				Minervaミネルバ
Pallaパオラ	He must have remembered who he was by that point, right?
I cannot say... But he hid his face behind a mask and lent his strength to Prince Marth under a new name.				Minervaミネルバ
Pallaパオラ	Well, that all but confirms it! Wouldn’t it be better for him to learn the truth sooner rather than later?
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.				Minervaミネルバ
Pallaパオラ	You’re right. Thank you for taking the time to discuss this with me... I will take your counsel under advisement.

Luthierリュート	...And that’s how I got roped into helping Zeke regain his memories.
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.				Deltheaデューテ
Luthierリュート	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...
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.				Deltheaデューテ
Luthierリュート	Th-that has nothing to do with this!
Sure. Anyway, I just remembered a...uh...urgent thing I...need to do. I’m sure you’ll do great, Luthier!				Deltheaデューテ
Luthierリュート	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.

Decided Future - A

English・Japanese

Zekeジーク	Thus far, I’ve let sleeping dogs lie for fear of what I may awaken.
Yes... Bit of a conundrum...				Luthierリュート
Zekeジーク	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—
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?				Luthierリュート
Zekeジーク	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.
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.				Luthierリュート
Zekeジーク	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.
...Friend? You’re talking about me?! R-right! Of course! ...Which brings my grand total up to...four? Five? ...Wow!				Luthierリュート
Tatianaティータ	Palla! There you are. I’ve been looking everywhere for you.
Is this about Zeke’s memory?				Pallaパオラ
Tatianaティータ	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.
I see... Sticking to the present, then. Then his past no longer haunts him.				Pallaパオラ
Tatianaティータ	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.
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.				Pallaパオラ
Tatianaティータ	Thank you... I know that together, we can overcome anything that stands in our way. And with support from you and everyone else, our future is a bright one indeed!

Pallaパオラ	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?		さきほど見かけた うさぎの耳をつけたカチュア...。 あの子も、異界から来た カチュアだったの？
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...		春のお祭りに参加されていた カチュアさんですね。 たぶん、違う世界の妹さんかと。 春のお祭りのときは うさぎの耳をつけたパオラさんも お見かけしましたよ。		Fjormフィヨルム
Pallaパオラ	That was DEFINITELY a me from another world.		まあ...！　私がそんな 祭りに参加した記憶はないから 間違いなく異界の私ね...
It's no cause for alarm, and you're not the first Hero to experience this shock—even I've been in your place!		みなさん、はじめはビックリされますね。 私も違う自分と出会って 何度か気を失いそうになりました。		Fjormフィヨルム
Estエスト	Hey! Are you my biggest sis?		あっ！　異界のパオラねえさまだ！
Hm? Are you lost, little ones? I— Wait a minute...		あら？　この子たちは...。		Pallaパオラ
Pallaパオラ	It's nice to meet you...er, meet me? ...I don't really know anymore.		はじめてお目にかかります... で、いいのでしょうか？ 未来の私...ですよね？
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!		そう...！　そうです！ この子は、マケドニア白騎士団を 目指していたころの私...。 カチュアもエストもまだ小さくて。 まあ、まあっ！　こんな可愛らしい 英雄も召喚されているのね。		Pallaパオラ
Fjormフィヨルム	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!		ええ。お城には、子どもの頃の マルス王子やシーダ王女、マリクさんも ミネルバ王女もいらっしゃいますよ。 彼らも立派な英雄です。 もちろん、ここにいる小さな パオラさんたちも！
Hmm... "Biggest" sister, did you say? You may be on to something, Est... May we call you that...Biggest Sis?		よろしくおねがいします。 未来のパオラ姉様。		Catriaカチュア
Pallaパオラ	Whatever you like, Catria. I'll be here for you two—er, you three?—any time you need me.		こちらこそよろしくね。 私でよければ力になるから 遠慮なく声をかけてね。
Thank you! We may still have a lot to learn, but I can't think of a better person to mentor us!		はい、ありがとうございます。 頼らせていただきますね。 ご指導いただけるとうれしいです！		Pallaパオラ

Palla: Kind Eldest Sister - B

English・Japanese

Estエスト	Am I holding the lance right, Biggest Sis? You said the pointy bit goes this way, right?		おおきいパオラねえさま！ 槍のにぎりかたはこれでいいの？
Yes, that's good, Est. Now tighten up your stance a little bit here, and... Perfect. Just like that!		ええ、握り方はいい感じね。 あとはもう少し脇を締めて... はい、こんな感じかしら。		Pallaパオラ
Pallaパオラ	I'm sorry... I know this time was supposed to be focused on my training, but...		すみません、妹たちまで お世話になってしまって...。
No need to apologize! I always have time for my sisters...and for you.		いいのよ、気にしないで。 異界のあなたたちも 大切な妹だもの。		Pallaパオラ
Fjormフィヨルム	Adorable to see you all getting along like...well, family! Such ties truly do transcend worlds.		みんな、すっかり懐いちゃいましたね。
I've always wondered what it would be like to have an older sister, and now I know.		はい。妹たちだけでなく 私にまでよくしていただき... 姉がいたら、このような感じでしょうか。		Pallaパオラ
Pallaパオラ	Haha. If that's how you want to think of me, I won't be the one to stop you.		本当にお姉さんだと思って 頼ってくれてもいいのよ？
Well, we are kind of the same person, so...sister is probably the closest word for our relationship...right?		そ、それはさすがに... 年齢は違えども、同じ私ですし。		Pallaパオラ
Estエスト	Bigger Sis, you should really listen to Biggest Sis! She's really smart! And pretty too!		パオラねえさまも おおきいパオラねえさまに あまえちゃえー！
Now, Est. Don't embarrass your sisters...preferably any of them...		こら、よしなさいエスト。 未来のパオラ姉さまを 困らせてはダメよ。		Catriaカチュア
Fjormフィヨルム	Heh... *sigh*		......
Princess Fjorm, are you all right? You look sad all of a sudden...		フィヨルムおうじょ、どうしたの？ なんだかさびしそう...		Estエスト
Fjormフィヨルム	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.		いえ、なんでもありません。 私もその...兄様と姉様と妹がいるので なんだか昔を思い出してしまって...
Oh, wow! So you're part of a sister trio like us, huh? Do you three play together all the time too?		ねえさまと、いもうと... わたしたちとおなじ さんしまいだね...！		Estエスト
Fjormフィヨルム	Well, not as of late, no... That is... my sister Gunnthrá has moved on to a better place.		兄様はニフル王国にいるのですが... 姉様は少し、遠いところにいて...
Oh, Princess Fjorm... I'm sorry for your loss.		......		Pallaパオラ
Estエスト	Oh, so that's why... I'm sorry!		だから、フィヨルムおうじょ、 すこしさびしそうだったんだ...
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.		大丈夫ですよ。ここには たくさんの英雄のみなさんがいますし 毎日にぎやかで寂しくありません。 心配してくれてありがとう。 エストさんは優しいですね。		Fjormフィヨルム
Pallaパオラ	I'm sure a certain someone I know had a hand in that, eh?		ええ。カチュアもエストも... とても優しく育ってくれたわ。 ね？　そうでしょう？
That's right. And Catria too! I can't say I'd have it any other way.		はい。二人とも自慢の妹です。		Pallaパオラ

Palla: Kind Eldest Sister - A

English・Japanese

Estエスト	No! I don't want this flower... I want one like Bigger Sis has! Gimme!		やだー！　わたしも パオラねえさまと同じお花がいいー！
Don't be selfish, Est! You already have a perfectly pretty flower.		エスト、わがまま言って パオラ姉さまを困らせてはダメよ。		Catriaカチュア
Pallaパオラ	What's all this about flowers?		あら...どうしたのかしら？ なにかあったの？
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.		実は、シャロン王女から それぞれ違うお花を いただいたのですが...。 エストも、私と同じお花を 気に入ってしまったみたいで。		Pallaパオラ
Estエスト	*sniff* This one is pretty and all, but... I like that one more!		わたしがもらったお花もきれいだけど パオラねえさまがもらった お花のほうがすきなのー！
Fine, fine. There's not much we can do when she gets like this... Here.		はい、じゃあエストには これをあげるわ。大切にしてね。		Pallaパオラ
Estエスト	Hooray! Pretty flower!		やったー！
Palla... We really must teach Est the value of self-control one of these days.		パオラ姉さまは甘すぎます。 エストにはもっと 我慢させることを教えないと...！		Catriaカチュア
Pallaパオラ	Heehee. It's just like a window into the past... Even when we were small, you were the glue that kept us together, Catria.		あら...懐かしいわ。 そうそう、カチュアは この頃からとっても真面目で いつも私を助けてくれていたわね。
You flatter me, Sister. I'm just saying what needs to be said, that's all.		ま、真面目というか...私は 当たり前のことを言っているだけです。 未来のパオラ姉さま。		Catriaカチュア
Pallaパオラ	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?		でも最近、妹と好きなものが 同じになってしまうことが多いんです。 こういう時、未来の私は どうしていたのでしょう？
Hmm... Well, let me offer you something to keep in mind...		そうね、私は...		Pallaパオラ

Palla: Kind Eldest Sister - S

English・Japanese

Pallaパオラ	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?		あなたもきっと 同じだと思うけど...。 私の一番の幸せは 妹たちの笑顔を見ること。
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.		はい、マケドニアのために 白騎士団に入ることが 私の夢ではありますが...。 妹たちが笑顔であり続けることは 私の譲れない夢です。 そのためなら どんな苦労もいといません。		Pallaパオラ
Catriaカチュア	Sister...		パオラ姉さま...。
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.		妹たちのために、できることは なんでもしてあげたい。 ときにその決意は... 寂しさを伴うことがあるかもしれない。		Pallaパオラ
Pallaパオラ	That sounds...scary...		......。
I'm sorry! I don't mean to scare you! Just keep your chin up, and it will all turn out fine. All right?		でも、自分が信じる道を選べば 妹たちの笑顔はいつまでも輝くはずよ。		Pallaパオラ
Pallaパオラ	I will do my best to remember that. Thank you.		はい...！ その言葉、胸に刻んでおきます。
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.		あとは... なにがあっても、姉妹で手を取り合って 進むことを忘れないで。 そうすれば、必ず道は開けるから。 誰かがピンチになったら 姉妹で助け合う。今も私たちは そうやって支え合っているの。		Pallaパオラ
Catriaカチュア	...Just exactly what kind of trouble does Est get into in the future?		もしかして、未来でもエストが パオラ姉さまに迷惑をかけているのでは...。
Huh? ME?! I'm a good girl, Catria! Don't be such a meanie!		えー！　エストいい子にするもん！ カチュアねえさまのいじわる！		Estエスト
Pallaパオラ	Now, now... No need to fight. We're supposed to all stick together, remember?		こら、ケンカしちゃダメでしょ。 未来の私も言ってるじゃない。 姉妹で助け合わないとって。
That's right. The bonds you three foster now will serve you all, both on and off the battlefield.		姉妹の絆こそが あなたたちの大きな武器になる。 そのことを覚えておいてね。		Pallaパオラ
Pallaパオラ	Thank you for all of your advice... We will remember everything you told us and try to never forget it!		はい...！　未来の私から 受け取ったその言葉... 必ず未来に活かしてみせます。

Luthier: Odd Wayfarer

Luthier: Odd Wayfarer - C

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...
Ah! I almost forgot to get a book of bedtime stories for Fae!		Sophia
Saias	Now then, what will today’s rows have to offer? If I remember right, I left off somewhere around here...
The presence of patrons like these speaks volumes. Each is a powerful mage or scholar in their own right.		Luthier
Reinhardt	Excuse me, young man.
Gah! Wh-who are you?		Luthier
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.
Oh. Right. I’m Luthier. I’m...a student of magic. It’s...nice to meet you too.		Luthier
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.
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.		Luthier
Reinhardt	I daresay you are not the first mage summoned to Askr to feel that way. Nor the last, I suspect.
Does Delthea study here often?		Luthier
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 classroom study.
Of course... She was never one to bury her nose in a book, no matter how I asked her to apply herself...		Luthier
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.
Hm... So she’s gotten to you too...		Luthier

Luthier: Odd Wayfarer - B

Lute	No, I don’t think that’s quite right. According to this tome, we should be adding fresh water.
Hm... That just might work. All right, let’s backtrack and try again.		Lysithea
Luthier	I see the library is as lively as ever. Students of all kinds, some doing experiments, some simply reading.
There must be a clue to the mysteries of time shear in one of these musty tomes...		Knoll
Kliff	Hmm... One more thing nobody is going to believe when I get back home to my world.
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—		Luthier
Canas	Hello! Are you Delthea’s older brother, by chance?
Wah! Why are you sneaking around? You scared me half to death!		Luthier
Canas	Ah, forgive me. I’m Canas, dark mage by trade and fervent researcher of all things magical.
Dark mage, huh? Sorry, but I’d rather not associate with that sort of magic. If you don’t mind...		Luthier
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.
“Unique,” huh? And you’re trying to paint that as a good thing?		Luthier
Canas	Considering how excitable Delthea is, I did not expect that her older brother would be quite so grounded.
We share parents, but the similarities end there. And her attitude doesn’t help matters.		Luthier
Canas	Is that so?
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.		Luthier
Canas	Hm... I see...

Luthier: Odd Wayfarer - A

Canas	You are diligent indeed, Luthier. You may even spend more time in this library than I do!
Well, it’s not as if I have anywhere to go...		Luthier
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.
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.		Luthier
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.
Of course. I’m not surprised.		Luthier
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.
My interest is piqued... I would love to hear more of that story.		Luthier

Luthier: Odd Wayfarer - S

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.
I... I don’t know what to say... That’s truly awful...		Luthier
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.
Huh... I hadn’t imagined you to be the type to put effort into finding a companion.		Luthier
Canas	...Pardon?
Huh? Oh! Nothing!		Luthier
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.
So, you’re saying...it’s more about what you do with your gifts than how you got them?		Luthier
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.
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.		Luthier
Canas	It’s never too late to start. Surely your reunion here in Askr presents a golden opportunity...
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?		Luthier
Canas	I would be honored, 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.		Luthier

Tatiana: Devoted Saint

Tatiana: Devoted Saint - C

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

Tatiana: Devoted Saint - B

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.
Y-yes, sir!		Tatiana
Brady	Whatever you say.
All right, Brady, I’ll just— Oh! Brady, your hands! They’re covered in cuts and scratches! Are you hurt?		Tatiana
Brady	Eh, there was this alley cat who needed a hand havin’ her litter last night. They weren’t exactly cooperative, but don’t you worry about that. All part of the job.
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!		Tatiana
Brady	I can tell you’re not gonna take no for an answer, so...fine. You win! But that salve looks a little...off.
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.		Tatiana
Brady	Yeah, about that... Rumor is her stuff tastes more like poison than potion.
Lucky you! This is a salve, so no tasting required. Now let’s see... Wrys said directly to the wound...		Tatiana
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?!
That just means it’s working, right? Midori knows her stuff!		Tatiana
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 SAUCE!
Oh no! Did I grab the wrong thing from the pantry? Everything did look rather similar...		Tatiana
Brady	Who CARES?! Just get it off of me! The burning...it’s...it’s...
Of course! I’m so sorry!		Tatiana
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...
IT BURNS!		Brady

Tatiana: Devoted Saint - A

Priscilla	There’s no rush! There’s plenty to go around, everyone!
Please line up and wait your turn. We’re going as fast as we can!		Mist
Natasha	Our little soup kitchen isn’t so little anymore, is it? I hardly recognize it these days.
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!		Serra
Tatiana	I’m just glad to help. I baked some bread just for this occasion.
Wow! You certainly did. Baking that much must have been a lot of work!		Natasha
Tatiana	Well, it’s nothing compared to what these poor souls have been through.
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.		Brady
Tatiana	Of course! Feel free!
Here goes nothin’... Gyahh! My TEETH! What did you bake this out of, stone from the castle ramparts?!		Brady
Tatiana	What? What makes you say that? Here, let me try... Ow! ...This is pretty hard, isn’t it? Maybe the dough was a little dry when it went in the oven...
Hmm... We haven’t had a new member this interesting in a while... Reminds me of a certain pink-haired maid from Nohr. Though I daresay... Tatiana is in a league of her own.		Azama
Brady	My teeth! I CAN’T FEEL MY TEETH!
I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean for it to turn out like that. Please forgive me!		Tatiana
Serra	Poor Brady... So, are there any specialist tooth healers among the Heroes?

Tatiana: Devoted Saint - S

Tatiana	Oh, this is just awful... No matter what I try, everything I do is ruined by some clumsy mistake. At this rate, I’ll never be of any use to Askr, much less Zeke...
Hi, Tatiana! ...Is something wrong? It’s not like you to look so gloomy...		Peony
Tatiana	Oh. Hi, Peony. It’s just that my help often ends up doing more hurt than I’d like. I’ve started to wonder if I’m really meant for the life of a cleric...
You stop that self-doubt, young lady! Have you forgotten your dream to help the less fortunate?		Peony
Tatiana	Well, no, but I—
Good! You have a kind heart and a selfless spirit, Tatiana. Anyone would agree. As long as you express what’s in your heart, your dream will someday become a reality. Surely being summoned to Askr is another opportunity to make that happen—so don’t give up!		Peony
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...
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.		Peony
Tatiana	I will! There’s not a moment to waste! Here I go!
Break a leg! Er...maybe that’s not the most fitting turn of phrase in this situation, hm...		Peony
Brady	Thanks for the salve, Tatiana. This is a huge improvement over hot sauce, that’s for sure. Got somethin’ to help with the teeth too. Should be back to normal in no time! Just...try to be more careful from now on, got it?
I will, Brady... Thank you! Get ready, Askr—Tatiana’s here to help!		Tatiana

Zeke: Past Unknown

Zeke: Past Unknown - C

Zeke	Hrrrah!
Grah!		Black Knight
Zeke	I stuck you at full force and you did not even flinch... What are you?
You wanted the best. The best is what you got.		Black Knight
Zeke	Hah! We’ll see about that!
All right, you two, that’s enough sparring for now. We can’t have you spending all your energy training when there’s other work to be done!		Anna
Zeke	Very well. I haven’t had to be on my guard like that for some time. Thank you for the exercise.
Likewise. I had heard stories of the Sable Knight’s prowess. I am glad there was some truth to them.		Black Knight
Zeke	“Sable Knight”? Wh-who— Are you talking about me? I ought to think “sable” would more aptly describe you, given your armor.
Ah. Perhaps I have made a mistake. Forget I said anything.		Black Knight
Zeke	Now that you mention it, though, that title does seem familiar, like I’ve heard it somewhere before...
The threads of fate spin once again...		Camus
Sirius	The question is, do we let him unravel it on his own, or do we direct his path?

Zeke: Past Unknown - B

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?
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.		Sirius
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.
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.		Sirius
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?
My memory indeed returned with time, but I cannot say his will with any certainly.		Sirius
Camus	Then we face a choice: do we reveal the path ahead, or do we let him find it for himself?
We should not take this decision lightly... We ought to spend some time sparring to clear our heads.		Sirius
Camus	Hah. I was just about to suggest the same thing myself.
Then the time for talk is over! ...On your guard!		Sirius

Zeke: Past Unknown - A

Camus	It seems a cleric named Tatiana has been asking around for information about Zeke... They must be important to each other for her to be searching as fervently as she is.
Right you are. You could even say they’re each other’s reason for living.		Sirius
Camus	She must be important to you as well, then. And if that is the case... Then Zeke may be able to break the chains of his past, just as you did.
You know as well as I that actions speak louder than words between warriors like us... Perhaps what he needs is not a memory from his past, but instead a lesson...		Sirius
Camus	Then it seems we’ve some more sparring to do...
It’s not every day I have the chance to take on two masters of the lance.		Zeke
Camus	We won’t hold back! And you ought not to either.
This is going to take everything you have.		Sirius
Zeke	Hm... Something about you two is familiar somehow, but I can’t put my finger on it... You seem to know more about my past than you’re letting on. Or is it... our past, perhaps?
If your memory does not cooperate, we will draw those memories out of your muscles instead!		Camus
Sirius	We will break you down to build you back up into your true self. See that you are prepared!

Zeke: Past Unknown - S

Zeke	Hhng... Was that...enough?
Yes. This battle taught me more than words ever could.		Camus
Zeke	That makes two of us. We live and die by the lance, with both honor and pride. I see much of myself in you, and I have no doubt that the feeling is mutual.
Zeke... Do not be weighed down by the past. Live in the here and now. Only by freeing yourself of the past can you live on into the future.		Sirius
Zeke	I—
Do not waste your time looking back. Put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward.		Sirius
Camus	What is most precious to you here and now, in this place? Therein lies what you seek. No matter the circumstances, your heart will never lead you astray. Remember that.
Even if my mind refuses to unlock the secrets of my past, my heart is now clear... My path is to wield this lance in the service of the one whom I hold dear. I feel as if a weight has been lifted from my shoulders... From now on, I will not struggle to look into my past. I will keep my eyes up, ever on the horizon.		Zeke
