Enduring Legacy/Azelle: Youthful Flame

Azelle: Youthful Flame - C

Lex	So... Lord Arvis is with the Order of Heroes now. I figured as much.
Yes. Princess Sharena says his strength has been a great help to them.		Azelle
Lex	I'm sure he's an extremely powerful ally. It's not hard to figure out why 【Summoner】 relies on him.
Arvis has changed. We both know the path he chose. And here he is— a Hero!		Azelle
Lex	I hate to bring this up, but sooner or later you're going to have to talk to him about leaving House Velthomer.
Yes. I left to join Lord Sigurd so I could aid Lady Edain. I expect that act does not sit well with him. Arvis is my half brother, but he raised me as if he were my father. I respect him and I honor him. And yet... I feel an indescribable unease when I am near him. It borders on...fear. But I cannot hide forever. I must meet with him.		Azelle
Lex	If you like, I could come with you.
Lex, you are a good friend, but I need to go alone. We must speak brother to brother.		Azelle

Azelle: Youthful Flame - B

Azelle	It has been far too long, Brother. I apologize for not visiting sooner.
Azelle! So you have been summoned to Askr as well. It is good to have you. This nation is threatened by calamity. Its people need all the strength we can muster. I hope you are ready.		Arvis
Azelle	I am. But, Brother, I need to know something. You came from a time just beyond the events I lived, correct? Princess Sharena mentioned your fight with Lord Sigurd had...ended.
Yes. And it could be said that its conclusion helped pave the way for lasting peace across the continent.		Arvis
Azelle	That is truly remarkable! I could never aspire to something so bold. I regret I could not aid you... I must ask for your forgiveness. I let my own desires get in the way of my duties to House Velthomer. I ran away—both from House Velthomer and...from you.
...		Arvis
Azelle	I felt that leaving House Velthomer was the only way to save Lady Edain. I was selfish. I am ready to answer for my inexcusable deeds. You need only say the word.
Azelle... I believe that you may have misunderstood the situation.		Arvis
Azelle	Huh? Now I am confused. What is there to misunderstand?

Azelle: Youthful Flame - A

Arvis	When I fight, my aim is to remake the world. I wish to tear down divisions and make things equitable for all. But there is a heavy toll for such grand ambition. The sacrifice required is...immeasurable.
...		Azelle
Arvis	These are my convictions, however, and mine alone. I believe each person must choose their path, and that those choices— those paths—must be respected. One's thoughts or beliefs deserve to remain sovereign. That is the world I strive to build, no matter the cost.
No matter the cost...		Azelle
Arvis	Azelle, your choice to leave House Velthomer was rooted in what you believed was right. It is not my place to condemn your choice, and so there is no need for forgiveness.
Brother...		Azelle
Arvis	However, remember this. Your choices bind you to responsibility for their consequences. Before you choose, ask yourself: What will you lose by that choice? What will be gained by it? Answering these questions is your duty. Yours. It is not for you to place their burden on others.
I...understand. I will move forward and take full responsibility for my choices. Th-thank you, Arvis...		Azelle
Arvis	Excellent. Always choose a path you believe in. Only then can you live without regret.

Azelle: Youthful Flame - S

Lex	That's how Lord Arvis sees it, huh?
After our meeting, I may be more afraid of him than ever. I thought I knew my brother, and yet...		Azelle
Lex	You don't have to know him. He talked about owning your choices, right? That goes for him too. He thinks he's found a path that'll create the world he wants? Fine. You don't have to follow him.
His path... Yes. I worry about the scope of his ambition. It really is boundless.		Azelle
Lex	Yes, it is... Well, look at the bright side—at least you didn't get scolded for leaving House Velthomer!
Truthfully, I might have preferred it if he were angry at me for that.		Azelle
Lex	Huh? Why?
He said he will respect any choice I make, and that I must take responsibility for it. I believe that what he meant is that if we find ourselves in opposition to each other, he will show no mercy.		Azelle
Lex	I see. Yeah, that is a bit worrisome.
No matter. I have already made my choice. And I have tricked you into coming along with me.		Azelle
Lex	Ha! Don't sweat it. I'm here because I want to be. We have to look out for each other.
Thank you, Lex. I am very glad we were summoned here together. Now we must forge our path in Askr. If that pits us against Arvis, so be it. As he said, we must own our choices. I am ready to take responsibility, no matter the outcome. There is a future here worth striving for and it will be built, in part, from our choices.		Azelle
Lex	Count me in! And when the going gets tough, I'll be there choosing to drag us forward. Ha ha!
Heh! I know you will. Let us hope we are both strong enough to see this through.		Azelle
