Amelia: Blossoming Talent - C

Amelia	General Duessel, I found you!
Amelia! It has been quite some time, hasn’t it?		Duessel
Amelia	I’m so glad you’re here and I get to fight alongside you in Askr as a member of the Order of Heroes!
Yes, and I see you’ve got new armor and a splendid spear too. You are well-equipped for what lies ahead.		Duessel
Amelia	Th-thank you. But...I feel as though my weapon and armor are beyond my station. I still have so much to learn.
On the contrary. My high expectations of you were not misplaced.		Duessel
Amelia	All thanks to you, General Duessel! You said the spear suits my height well, extends my reach, and enables me to strike with force. Greater force, even, than a sword could bring to bear in a battle. It was my faith in your words that allowed me to continue to grow.
By now you know a warrior’s path is a long and arduous journey. But with continued effort, one can advance. Be patient and move forward, one step at a time, without arrogance.		Duessel
Amelia	I will etch those words on my heart!
Excuse me... Sorry to interrupt, but, General Duessel, it’s almost time for our spear drills.		Fjorm
Duessel	Ah, Amelia, meet Princess Fjorm, from the Kingdom of Nifl. She’s been working hard to master the techniques of the spear.
Princess Fjorm! Nice to meet you! I do hope my strength will be of use to everyone here.		Amelia
Fjorm	Oh, I’m sure it will, Amelia. General Duessel’s told me so much about you. He said you are a hardworking, earnest Hero and a strong, focused master of the spear. I, too, hope to master the spear like you, so I have requested General Duessel’s guidance.
Oh... I am truly humbled he said such things about me.		Amelia
Duessel	Ah, I just thought of something! Amelia, why don’t you teach Princess Fjorm the techniques of the spear?
M-me?! Teach on your behalf, General Duessel? That is an honor far beyond my standing...		Amelia
Duessel	The level of mastery you have reached is far more than enough competency to teach another. I can tell just by seeing you wield your spear. More so, there is much to be gained from teaching others.
Oh my! This is going to be so great! I can’t imagine anything better than learning directly from you, Amelia. If you’ll accept, I’d be much obliged!		Fjorm
Amelia	All right... I will have faith in General Duessel’s words and do my best!

Amelia: Blossoming Talent - B

Fjorm	Amelia? No, I mean...teacher! Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with me.
Oh, uh, that’s the first time anyone has called me “teacher.” And it is an honor to teach you. Thought I feel strange teaching someone as high in status as a princess... General Duessel seems to think it is acceptable, so...I will believe him. We’ll start with some warm-ups before swinging our spears!		Amelia
Fjorm	Yes, teacher!
Watch closely, Princess Fjorm. I’m going to show you some spear techniques now. First up: one of my strongest techniques!		Amelia
Fjorm	Really? One of your strongest already?!
Circle right... Hiyah!		Amelia
Fjorm	Mm-hmm...
Next, circle left... Hiyah! Then... Thrust! Rrraaah!		Amelia
Fjorm	Um, teacher? May I ask something?
Of course!		Amelia
Fjorm	You said this is one of your strongest techniques, but... I heard that the “circle right, circle left, and thrust” technique is the most basic of all. So, um, why is it you say these are your strongest movements?
You’re right, Princess Fjorm. These are the most basic. They are the first things to learn with the spear.		Amelia
Fjorm	Ah... So it’s true...
According to General Duessel, the basics are the strongest and most pure of techniques. These movements bring out the strength of the spear more than any others. The foundation of everything! After tens of thousands of times swinging my spear, I have confirmed this to be true.		Amelia
Fjorm	Of course... You can’t grow if you lack the fundamentals. There is weight to your words, teacher. I can tell your foundation is strong, and you have polished your skills over time.
When you put it like that, I feel somewhat embarrassed...		Amelia
Fjorm	Because of you, I understand just how important a strong foundation is. I would expect no less of General Duessel’s favorite student, after all!
Favorite student?! You flatter me! I simply asked him to teach me, that’s all!		Amelia

Amelia: Blossoming Talent - A

Fjorm	Hah! Yaaah! Circle right, circle left, thrust! Rrraaah!
Wonderful command of that spear, Princess Fjorm! I can tell you are embracing the basics.		Amelia
Fjorm	*huff* *huff* Thank you, teacher.
Let’s not overexert ourselves. Why don’t we take a break?		Amelia
Fjorm	Uh, teacher?
Princess Fjorm... Please, call me Amelia.		Amelia
Fjorm	All right then, Amelia. Can I ask you something?
Sure. I’ll do my best to answer!		Amelia
Fjorm	I’m wondering about your heritage... You must descend from a long line of well-known generals, right?
Huh? Why would you think that?		Amelia
Fjorm	Watching your command of that spear, I sense an innate greatness within you. It’s as though your heart overflows with determination, and you have focused it into your weapon. I assume you have been training both your body and your mind in martial arts since you were a young child.
Oh, no! I...I’m sorry to be so blunt, but...that’s not true at all! I grew up in a remote village in Grado with my mother, working the land...		Amelia
Fjorm	Really?! I would never have believed that.
I was...powerless. I couldn’t protect what was precious to me then. That’s why I joined Grado’s army, so that I could gain the strength needed to protect those I care about. I had never even touched a spear until I joined.		Amelia
Fjorm	Oh... With no militaristic lineage, you developed as a Hero? Purely though hard work and determination? I, on the other hand, was born and raised as royalty—a princess of Nifl. I cannot deny the reason I am here today is because of the privileged environment I grew up in. That is why, from where I stand, the effort you have put in over the years is so impressive!
Princess Fjorm... I don’t think it matters how we obtain our power. More important is how we use it. We should concern ourselves more with why we wield our spears and what it is we fight for.		Amelia
Fjorm	You’re right. The most important thing is how we use our power.
I have made it this far in my training all because I wanted to protect those precious to me. I can sense that same passion in your spear, Princess Fjorm.		Amelia
Fjorm	Yes, I, too, want to protect those I love... That is what I want my driving force to be!
That’s the spirit!		Amelia
Fjorm	Now then, how about another match after this rest?
Of course! As many times as you like!		Amelia

Amelia: Blossoming Talent - S

Duessel	Tell me, Amelia, how are things progressing with Princess Fjorm? I noticed how passionately you were training her the other day.
Th-thank you, General Duessel! I am learning so much from teaching her! Unlike me, she is overflowing with talent! All I have is my constant effort. She heeds the basics, engages with creative techniques, and wishes to develop her skills even further... Honestly, she’s the one who should be teaching me!		Amelia
Duessel	Haha! That is good to hear. You, yourself, appear to have benefited from training Princess Fjorm in the ways of spearmanship. And now, I can sense a more commanding presence about you.
You did say that one stands to benefit from teaching others... You knew that would be the outcome when you suggested I train Princess Fjorm, didn’t you?		Amelia
Duessel	A warrior’s path is long and arduous... It is necessary to have allies and friends beside you on the journey. When I saw the earnest look in her eyes, I knew you would get along well.
General Duessel... I cannot thank you enough!		Amelia
Duessel	Hear this, Amelia. I, too, have not reached the end of my journey as a warrior. I will never stop progressing. So you also must keep growing alongside your allies, each of you mastering your own technique. Only then can you surpass me. And that is the only way for you to express your gratitude to me.
S-surpass you?!		Amelia
Duessel	Do not say you cannot.
I...understand. I will take on that challenge. I will put all you have taught me into practice and focus my convictions to become even stronger!		Amelia
Duessel	Ah, yes... That determination in your eyes says it all. I look forward to seeing how far you go.
I will make you proud! And next time, I will protect those precious to me, no matter what!		Amelia
