Special conversations

Gate to Oblivion

Gate to Oblivion - Opening

Seiðr	Prince Alfonse, I have brought Lady Nerþuz here. She has something to tell you.
Children of Midgard... It has been far too long. I am happy to find you well.		Nerþuz
Alfonse	Lady Nerþuz, it's our pleasure. What brings you all the way to Askr?
I sense an evil presence that is targeting Askr. Something awful, from another world. It won't be long.		Nerþuz
Alfonse	Wha— Something has come to harm Askr?
As god of the land, Lady Nerþuz clearly sensed a grave danger to you who live in Midgard.		Seiðr
Sharena	Alfonse! I have bad news! I... *pant* *pant* I just got word from the border. Someone is setting towns on fire!
Ahaha! Watching a town burn to the ground is amusing, no matter what world you're in. Humans... Such weaklings... Flee if you desire to live! And send word to your Heroes... The Order, is it? Tell them to surrender the power of all the Emblems in this world, or more towns will be shrouded in ash.		Veyle
Lumera	Oh, Alear... I can feel your presence in this world. Where are you? I cannot forgive anyone who keeps us apart. No matter who they are!
Even in this world, your eyes are only for Alear... But that won't affect our plan, so long as you stick to it. You must ravage this world with the power of the arcane weapon bestowed by your lord, Sombron.		Veyle
Alfonse	I see it! The town is ablaze! Hurry!
I see a large gate past the town—it looks like a mirage. You think the enemy came from there?		Anna
Seiðr	Must have. But... We still have no idea who they are. Who would do this?
There's several people attempting to flee their burning homes. We need to help them, quick!		Anna
Ursula	I'm afraid I cannot allow that.
Who— How did you get behind me?!		Anna
Sharena	Commander Anna!
What have you done?! I-I can't move!		Anna
Ursula	Anna, commander of the Order of Heroes... You'll be coming with me.
You! Wait! Let go of Commander Anna and explain yourself!		Alfonse
Sharena	Sh-she's gone... Commander Anna's been...kidnapped! Commander Anna!

Gate to Oblivion - C

Ursula	I have returned, Lord Nergal.
So you have. And it appears things went well, yes?		Nergal
Anna	U...gh...
Who is she? She looks like someone who fought alongside the Divine Dragon in Elyos.		Veyle
Nergal	She is the commander of the Order of Heroes in Askr. Without her, they are useless. If left in power, she would have hindered us. We needed to subdue her to fulfill our plans in this world.
It is...quintessence you are after here, right?		Veyle
Nergal	Yes, quintessence is the energy of life that dwells in humans. It is the power behind their will to live. It is a necessary resource to create my morphs at a large scale, to act as my agents. And this...Anna will be one of them, crafted into a morph.
Errr...gh...		Anna
Veyle	The portal in Elyos opened, forging the way to Askr, all because you bent the power of the Dragon’s Gate... And you forced your way here... For this, I am grateful. However, if you intend to get in our way, there will be dire consequences. I guarantee you that.
...		Nergal
Veyle	I seek the power of the Emblems who were summoned here, as well as the rings in which they reside. My interest lies not in how many humans you slay, Crush this world if you please, so long as I am satisfied.
Then our goals are aligned. Should you bring chaos to Askr, it will only serve our plans.		Ursula
Veyle	Well then. Let us proceed with the understanding that we will use each other as a means to our own ends. We will not interfere with each other’s plans.
And you are certain that dragon rampaging outside will not be a problem if left to her own devices?		Nergal
Veyle	Lumera will not be an issue. She was once a Divine Dragon Monarch, ruler of a holy land. But now she is a corrupt soldier resurrected with the power of a Fell Dragon. Lumera is now a pitiful being who has lost her sanity, wishing only to see her child at all costs. She will destroy anything we lay before her. A puppet to our strings.
She wishes to see her child, yes? Hmm...pathetic. Ursula... The girl you have brought to me will now become my morph.		Nergal
Ursula	Yes, Lord. I shall begin the preparations.

Gate to Oblivion - B

Sharena	Alfonse, the town’s residents have all been evacuated!
Then now is the time to free Commander Anna. We need to hurry!		Alfonse
Seiðr	Yes, the gate, the one that looks like a mirage... She is likely there.
Halt. You will go no farther. Hand them over—the Emblems you have summoned and their rings. All of them.		Veyle
Alfonse	You’re...Veyle?! Are you the one who burned those towns?!
If I say yes, would you hand over the rings? Bear in mind, if you refuse, you will be sent straight to your graves. You’re up, Lumera. Show them just how serious we are.		Veyle
Lumera	Alear... Where are you? You... You are the ones standing between us, aren’t you?! You hid Alear from me! Tell me where! I will never forgive the ones who keep me from my child! I will destroy you, all of you!
Watch out Alfonse! They’re coming!		Sharena
Alfonse	What is this ominous power radiating from Lumera? She is supposed to be a Divine Dragon, but this...is so evil.
She may look like the Lumera you know, but she is an entirely different dragon...		Seiðr
Sharena	We won’t get anywhere near the gate this way! H-how will we save Commander Anna?
Ahaha! You are no match for us! Accept your weakness and die in the depths of despair!		Veyle
Veronica	Wait!
And who might you be?		Veyle
Alfonse	Princess Veronica!
It matters not how many of you there are! I will crush you all in a single blow!		Veyle
Veronica	...
Dragon’s Gate? You forced your way to Askr from Elibe using remnants of the Dragon’s Gate?!		Anna
Nergal	Heroes from virtually every world gather here in Askr. Good quality quintessence, derived from many different worlds... Imagine what I can glean from these Heroes.
Argh! I’ll never allow that!		Anna
Ursula	How can you say that while you are imprisoned? Soon, you will be transformed into one of Lord Nergal’s morphs. For eternity, you will be merely an agent of his will.
I shall begin. First, I will erase your heart and mind with my magic. Relieve yourself of the notion that you can resist me. Hahaha...		Nergal
Anna	Urgh... Errr... Aaahhh! I won’t lose! I cannot lose! I... I...

Gate to Oblivion - A

Nergal	Hwah ha ha ha... Your struggles are futile. You cannot endure the power of my dark magic.
Aah! I am...commander of the Order of Heroes! Askr’s... I still...have things to do!		Anna
Ursula	This...girl... She is resisting Lord Nergal’s magic more than I thought possible by mortals.
What immense willpower!		Nergal
Veyle	Now then, Lumera. It’s time to destroy all who stand between you and your child.
Out of my way! All I want is to see my child... I won’t wait any longer!		Lumera
Sharena	Wh-what do we do?!
By Embla’s will, close the way. To whatever land it goes, to whatever time it flows... Embla rejects all!		Veronica
Veyle	*gasp* The Dragon’s Gate— Our path to Elyos is closing! If we don’t do something quick, we won’t be able to return to Father. We have no choice... Lumera, we cannot lose the arcane weapon Father bestowed upon us.
Alear... Where are you?! Alear’s presence is leaving! No! I must find my child!		Lumera
Veyle	I will not forget about the power of the Emblems or their rings. I’ll return here someday, more terrifying than ever!
Lord Nergal, what is that shaking?!		Ursula
Nergal	No... Someone is attempting to close the Dragon’s Gate.
Now’s my chance! But...I-I can’t free myself...		Anna
Seiðr	Child of Midgard, take my hand.
Seiðr?!		Anna
Ursula	Wha— When did you get here?!
Forget them! We must regroup. We shall retreat for now.		Nergal
Ursula	Yes, Lord. As you command.
The gate... It’s closing!		Alfonse
Sharena	Those terrifying versions of Veyle and Lumera seem to have retreated.
Hey! Is everyone all right?!		Anna
Alfonse	Commander Anna! Did they hurt you?
I’m perfectly fine, as you can see. Fit for a commander. It appears my captors left our world as well.		Anna
I was very nearly made into a morph by dark magic, but my iron will saved me.		Anna
Sharena	That’s amazing, Commander Anna!
Yeah, I guess it is! Heh, but if I couldn’t handle that, I’d have no place as your commander! It may have helped that I kept chanting, “Missions and rewards! Money and more!” in my mind.		Anna
Nerþuz	Hehe. Oh, children of Midgard, you are adorable creatures. Seiðr, keep lending them your aid. And I will continue to keep watch.
Yes, of course. I intend to stay with them and support them. I have unshakable faith they will prevail with hopeful hearts, no matter what darkness shrouds the land...		Seiðr

Lumera: Corrupted Dragon

Lumera: Corrupted Dragon - C

Lumera

Where am I? Is this Lythos? Or is it perhaps the Somniel? No, this place is different... This...is another world... A land far from Elyos... The Kingdom of...Askr. I believed my role as Divine Dragon to be at an end when I passed away in Elyos, and yet... I seem to have once again returned to life, and been summoned to another world... Oh! Perhaps this is my chance to be with my child again! Alear...my beloved. One thousand years... One thousand years passed after you were gravely wounded and fell into deep slumber. I poured my power as Divine Dragon into you believing you would one day awaken. I hoped that we could spend time together again as mother and child. But... When you finally awoke our time was so brief, a mere blink of an eye... It is unacceptable. I cannot abide such a cruel fate. I waited one thousand years for you. I love you more than any other, my child. I should be at your side! Now, I have time. I have boundless amounts of time, bestowed upon me by Lord Sombron! Wait for me, Alear. Mother is coming. When we meet again, we will stay together, always. I will not allow anyone to come between us. Not this time...

Lumera: Corrupted Dragon - B

Ash	Queen Henriette, flames appear to lap at every corner of the town...
It seems as though the enemy has beaten us here. How are evacuations proceeding?		Henriette
Ash	We have evacuated the townspeople. However, Prince Alfonse’s arrival is expected to take some time yet.
Then we will have to buy more time ourselves. Will you help me?		Henriette
Ash	Yes, though I haven’t much strength, I will lend you what little I do have to prevent more damage to the town.
Alear! Ahhh... There is no mistaking it. I can feel my child’s presence here! Wait for me, my Alear. Mother is on her way!		Lumera
Ash	Stop right there, please. I cannot overlook the devastation being inflicted upon the town.
You’re Queen Lumera, the Divine Dragon who protected Elyos! Why would you do something like this?!		Henriette
Lumera	Get out of my way.
What did you say?		Ash
Lumera	I said, get out of my way. Now! I must get past you if I am to see my child!
What power! Queen Henriette, please stay back. She may share Queen Lumera’s appearance, but it is clear that her nature is completely different.		Ash
Lumera	Enough chatter! Stop blocking my path, or suffer the consequences.
I’m afraid I cannot...I must not allow you to advance any farther.		Henriette
Lumera	Why do you defy me? All I want is to see my child. Let me speak with my beautiful child. We will go for a walk together and chat. Then we can eat together, and then... Oh, just imagine it...

Lumera: Corrupted Dragon - A

Henriette	What incredible power! It’s taking everything I have just to withstand her attacks!
If we don’t do something, the town will be nothing but ash when Prince Alfonse and his entourage arrive.		Ash
Lumera	Leave this place now if you do not wish to die. I can feel my child... Alear...I know you are this way!
Alear? Could she have embarked on this destructive endeavor just to find Alear?		Ash
Henriette	I don’t know what started all this, but that does appear to be her goal. If that’s the case, why doesn’t she just go to Alear? Why wreck all of this chaos?
Why won’t you let me pass? I see what’s happening here. You’re hiding Alear from me, aren’t you? You have imprisoned my child so that we cannot be reunited!		Lumera
Ash	What?! No! That is not true. We have no reason to—
It seems I have no choice... It’s unfortunate that I do not have the power of the Emblems, but I shall still incinerate any who come between us!		Lumera
Henriette	Enough! Stop this! If you continue this destruction, it will only break your child’s heart!
Alear will be...heartbroken?		Lumera
Henriette	Yes. Alear is a kind person. You must realize that learning you burned a town to the ground would fill Alear with sorrow and guilt. To go to such lengths, you must truly care for Alear. You cannot possibly wish to cause your child sorrow.
Such noble talk while you conceal my child from me! We are family. I belong at Alear’s side, but you... You cannot begin to understand us!		Lumera
Henriette	You are wrong. I do understand. I am a mother too. As a parent, I understand painfully well the desire to protect one’s child.
Queen Henriette...		Ash
Henriette	Queen Lumera, I swear to you, we have not by any means tried to hide your child from you. I beg of you, stop this rampaging. For the happiness of you and your child as much as anything else.
For our...happiness? No... Lies! It is all lies. We are not the same just because you are a mother too! But...as a mother, I do wish for my child to be happy... Ah...Aaahhh!		Lumera

Lumera: Corrupted Dragon - S

Lumera	Ahhh... No! What... What am I doing? I only want to be with my child. To be together as family... What am I doing to this place? If I continue this, it will break Alear’s heart. You are both...you are right.
Queen Lumera!		Ash
Henriette	Our words reached you! Quick, come this way, Lumera!
No... This is all wrong! Aaah!		Lumera
Henriette	Oh no!
Do not try to deceive me. I know you intend to hide Alear far away while you distract me here, don’t you? Then...there is no point in my staying. Wait for me, Alear... Mother will find you no matter the cost!		Lumera
Ash	She’s gone... For a moment it seemed as though she might respond to your words. But...why is this happening?
It just shows how powerful whoever resurrected Lumera really is. She’s unable to return to peaceful rest, the love in her heart twisted and used to send her into a rage.		Henriette
Ash	Do you think she might return to her senses if she accomplished her goal of finding Alear?
If only she could, but once a soul is so twisted, it may be that it cannot return to its original form until it dies.		Henriette
Ash	No...
Let us go. The threat is gone from this place for now. We can put out the flames and assist the townsfolk while we wait for Alfonse to arrive.		Henriette
Ash	That sounds like a good plan.
Queen Lumera, I pray that your soul be granted salvation.		Henriette
Lumera	Frustrating... That was a pointless diversion. Oh, Alear, do not fret. I will be with you soon. We made a pinky promise that we would see each other again. In a pure, white...beautiful place. In the enemy’s domain... We did... But...when did that memory come from? Was that when you awoke? Or... Hahaha... You can tell me when we meet again. Come...it’s a promise. Let your mother make you this pinky promise. I will always be by your side. Some day, the rings... We will wake in the morning, then we’ll sit and chat together... Won’t we, my child? My Alear...

Veyle: Fell Successor

Veyle: Fell Successor - C

Veyle	So this is Askr? When I heard it had been at war for a long time, I was eager to visit. I’m disappointed, to be honest. This country is a lot more peaceful than I expected it to be. The quiet, boring scenery isn’t that much different from Florra Mill Town in Firene. ... Florra Mill Town... That was where the other me first met Alear. Fortunately, it seems as though that other me doesn’t come to the surface here, but... Just thinking of Divine Dragon Alear is enough to put me in a foul temper. That pathetic, ugly thing inherited the blood of my great father, but was manipulated and bound by Lumera. They say that Heroes from many different worlds can be summoned here. If Alear should appear before me, I will strike to kill without hesitation. Even better if I can get the Emblem Rings too. Alear’s head and the Emblem Rings should please Father.
You appear to be enjoying yourself.		Lilith
Veyle	Who are you?
I am Lilith. I am the daughter and faithful servant of Anankos, the Silent Dragon.		Lilith
Veyle	You’re his daughter and faithful servant? Is it not odd to be both? Well, if we are introducing ourselves... I am Veyle, the great dragon Sombron’s daughter, the Fell Princess.
I have a message for you. If you value your life, you’ll leave Askr immediately.		Lilith
Veyle	What?!

Veyle: Fell Successor - B

Veyle	Lilith. That’s your name, yes? Tell me, why must I leave Askr?
The great King Anankos has already begun encroaching on this place. Once this land is brimming with his power, it’ll be snuffed out. You can’t stop him, not even with the power of those Heroes you’re after, the Emblems or whatever.		Lilith
Veyle	You seem confident, but you haven’t quite answered my question. What are you trying to tell me?
I’m just warning you. If you wish to run, you should do so now, while you still can.		Lilith
Veyle	How thoughtful of you. I thank you for your concern. But I will never flee nor hide. I do not care what becomes of this world. All I want is the Emblem Rings, and I will allow no one to stand in my way. That...is all!
Why you...		Lilith
Veyle	I hate people who think they can use threats to control me. You are the one who will leave here, Lilith.
You’re making the wrong choice.		Lilith
Veyle	It seems I can use my power well enough in this world. Next time I won’t go so easy on you. If you wish to beg for your life, now is the time.
You clearly don’t know your place. You’ll regret coming to this world.		Lilith

Veyle: Fell Successor - A

Veyle	Haaa!
Yaaahhh!		Lilith
Veyle	Impressive. You are strong enough that I can see why you believe you can defy me. However, you will never defeat me without the power of the Emblems!
My strength is more than enough. I don’t need a silly crutch to aid me!		Lilith
Veyle	Impertinent little... Try this!
You can’t hit me!		Lilith
Veyle	Tsk! It is unacceptable for me to be at the mercy of this foe! I...I must prove that I am not a defect. If I don’t...Father will...dispose of me!
Dispose of you? ...		Lilith
Veyle	What is it? Why have you stopped trying to fight me?
You and I are the same.		Lilith
Veyle	What?
You said you found it odd when I told you I was Anankos’s daughter and his faithful servant. But can you really say that you don’t play the same roles for your father?		Lilith
Veyle	What are you—
What if you were to fall while risking your life in battle? Would your father shed even a single tear for you?		Lilith
Veyle	Obviously. I am his only child. Of course he would be sad.
Are you sure? If so... Why can’t you look me in the eye when you say that?		Lilith
Veyle	...

Veyle: Fell Successor - S

Veyle	I am father’s only child. I will inherit his power. How could he not love me? But...even if he doesn’t, I will still fight for him. That is... That is what a child does for their father. I’m not like the other me, the defect, or that fool Alear! And I’m not a servant like you!
Are you finished?		Lilith
Veyle	I...am. I have grown bored of you. I thought I might kill you here and now, but I will allow you to flee.
I’ll offer you the same. I thought you might be a threat and came to get rid of you, however... If this is the best you can do, then it’s clear there’s no danger in allowing you to live.		Lilith
Veyle	The best I can do?
I am telling you that you’re not worth my time. You think too highly of your power, and cannot let go of your desperate need for your father’s love. Just like... Just like me, you are a weak, pitiful, and unworthy opponent.		Lilith
Veyle	What are you saying?
Haven’t you been listening? I’m saying it’s just like I suspected. We’re a lot alike after all.		Lilith
Veyle	Enough of your jesting!
There is no point in discussing this with you anymore. I came to this land first—I will leave and save you the trouble. Goodbye, Veyle, only child of Sombron. I hope we never come across each other again.		Lilith
Veyle	Well, I never... What an irritating woman. I too hope we never meet again. I’m nothing like her. Her father doesn’t love her. He treats her like a servant, and she doesn’t even try to deny it. ... Father... Please come to this world soon. Save me from these feelings of loneliness and helplessness. Stand by my side and tell me that you love me, your one and only child. Father, please. I wait for you... For as long as it takes.

Nergal: Traitor to Nabata

Nergal: Traitor to Nabata - C

Limstella	Lord Nergal... Thank you for gracing us with your presence.
Ah, Limstella... Report on the current situation here.		Nergal
Limstella	Askr has been increasing its military prowess by summoning Heroes from other worlds. Theres Heroes have joined a group known as the Order of Heroes. And they work out of its headquarters.
The Order of Heroes... Sounds like a perfect source from which to gather quintessence.		Nergal
Limstella	Yes. If that is where these Heroes gather, it should be simple to find good quality quintessence there.
Mm, yes... You shall start gathering it right away, without pause.		Nergal
Limstella	Yes, Lord. Your will be done.
How long do you rats intend to hide your faces from me?		Nergal
Ninian	It is you, Nergal. That evil presence...
Ninian, no! You mustn’t approach him! We will return to the castle...		Nils
Ninian	No. We have to stop him, here and now!
Really? And how do you intend to do that? My morphs are already in Askr, gathering quintessence for me as we speak. Besides that... Your power in nothing against my dark magic.		Nergal
Ninian	Why do you do it? Why do you steal quintessence from innocent people who are trying to live peaceful lives? Is your goal to spread sorrow in Askr just like you did in Elibe?
What a foolish question. Humanity and all its willpower merely exist to offer its quintessence to me. And it is only I who am capable of using it to create competent morphs that follow my will.		Nergal
Ninian	And then what? What of all this sacrifice?
You miss the point. The world is meant to be dominated by power. All who stand in my way shall be erased from existence! Consider yourself honored, for you and your brother’s quintessence shall be used as fuel for my morphs.		Nergal

Nergal: Traitor to Nabata - B

Nils	Come on, Ninian. Let’s get out of here, quickly!
No, Nils... I won’t give up. We have the whole kingdom of Askr behind us. They believe in us! The people of Askr entrusted their fates in us—Heroes...from another world. We cannot let them down!		Ninian
Nergal	And so...you wish to discard your life for the sake of others? I accept that. Hahaha... I shall grant your wish!
N-no... Aaah!		Ninian
Nils	Keep it together, Ninian!
Urgh! I-I’m okay...		Ninian
Nergal	Your mind is still intact, hm? Then this shall end it! Begone!
...		Ninian
Nils	Ninian, run! Go!
Nils	Huh... What? Something countered Nergal’s spell?
...		Duma
Nergal	That presence... You... You are no human, are you?
I am Duma. I am that which presides over strength.		Duma
Nergal	A Divine Dragon...and a Fell God?
Ninian, lean on me and let’s escape while we can!		Nils
Ninian	Thank you, Nils... My power alone...is not enough to stop him...

Nergal: Traitor to Nabata - A

Duma	I felt an immense power flow into this world. I have come to judge the source of this power with my own eyes.
This is absurd... A Fell God helping mortals? You must have far too much free time on your hands, yes?		Nergal
Duma	Oh, that brother and sister? No, my purpose was not extending my aid to them. I merely took advantage of the opportunity they presented to me.
Quite a claim considering you countered my spell.		Nergal
Duma	Mortals need no helping hand. A world that relies on the gods is headed for utter deterioration.
...		Nergal
Duma	Humans must use their own strength to overcome adversity. It is the only way to grow. If there is anything a god should bestow upon mortals, it is trials.
You may be a Fell God, but you were once a Divine Dragon. It seems you are driven to act for humanity’s sake. However, what I bestow upon humans is nothing so mild as a trial. No... I bestow upon them annihilation. I seek power and the more I can wield, the more annihilation I can produce to devise the future I desire.		Nergal
Duma	I understand you seek power for you and you alone... I can accept that. Strength and resilience are both necessary to live. I created a country through these means. But you appear to focus solely on power and nothing else. What do you wish to accomplish with it?
You are a Fell God of many words. I am here in this world because I have a tremendous ambition for which I need power.		Nergal
Duma	...

Nergal: Traitor to Nabata - S

Nergal	My ambition is to create several powerful and artfully crafted morphs.
Morphs? Mindless creatures forged by you?		Duma
Nergal	I must gather quintessence in order to craft my morphs, especially if I desire exceptional ones. Therefore, I drain quintessence from humans to create my ideal morphs!
And when the land is filled with your morphs? What then?		Duma
Nergal	Hm?
You seek power... That in and of itself appears to be your one true goal. What lies beyond that goal? Your acquiring power is like pouring water onto desert sand. Time will pass by, but it will never saturate.		Duma
Nergal	Do not speak to me as though you understand me. You and your words vex me!
Ah... You wield impressive magic. I can understand why you believe yourself to be greater than you are. However, before I depart, let me leave you with one last thing. Through your time in Askr it will become evident to you just how tough the humans here are. Those whom you deem lesser may just surprise you.		Duma
Nergal	Hm... He has left. Tough humans? Ha! Pathetic, truly. It seems there are no limits to the illusions even a Fell God conceives. However... Seeing as how even gods have been summoned here to Askr... Within my grasp is an unfathomable opportunity to use their quintessence to fuel my strength! Theirs must be of a uniquely good quality. My fingertips dance together at the thought... Hwah ha ha ha!

Ursula: Blackened Crow

Ursula: Blackened Crow - C

Ursula	Lady Sonia... I am honored to do your bidding here in this world.
Yes, you are one of my favorites. I have high expectations for you in Askr. Do not disappoint me.		Sonia
Ursula	Yes, Lady Sonia. You...are perfect specimen chosen by Lord Nergal. I am grateful to serve you... I will not disappoint you.
There are two types of humans. There are those who overshadow the rest, and the refuse that serves them. You know what you are to do here, do you not?		Sonia
Ursula	Yes... Yes, of course.
The great Lord Nergal desires human quintessence. As superior humans we must extract the quintessence from those inferior to us. It is no different here than it was in Elibe.		Sonia
Ursula	As you say, Lady Sonia. The lowly wretches you speak of...have no value beyond that.
This plan to gather quintessence is Lord Nergal’s will... Failure will not be tolerated. We must proceed with caution and crush any sources of uncertainty we may face.		Sonia
Ursula	Sources of uncertainty... You mean, there are wretches who do not know their place?
Yes. Humans... Summoned here from Elibe as we were... Eliwood and his irk from the Lycian League are particularly irritating obstructions. Your skill as an assassin should prove worthwhile. You do know what you need to do.		Sonia
Ursula	Yes... I will go to their castle right away... End those wretches.
I loathe the useless. You are not useless are you, Ursula? Remember what I expect of you.		Sonia

Ursula: Blackened Crow - B

Ursula	Hehehe... Getting into the castle was almost too easy... Now, to find my targets...and slit their throats.
That’s as far as you go! I won’t let you take one more step!		Reginn
Fjorm	You are not a member of the Order of Heroes, are you? Wh-what are you after here?
I see... You allowed me to infiltrate your castle in hopes of unveiling my true purpose here... Pathetic. I will take care of you both before this mess becomes too much to clean up. Since you laid eyes on me, I will take care of you right away.		Ursula
Fjorm	Urk... What powerful magic! Sh-she’s pushing us both back at the same time!
You shall taste...the power Lord Nergal bestowed upon me!		Ursula
Reginn	She’s so fast! This is far too much power for one human to possess!
You stand no chance against me! The reason for that is simple. It is because I am a superior being and you are merely wretches. It is hardly a conflict at all!		Ursula
Fjorm	Urgh! That is not true!
Wretches? What makes us wretches? You don’t even know us.		Reginn
Ursula	Fjorm, princess of Nifl, the Kingdom of Ice. And Reginn, princess of Niðavellir, the realm of dvergar... I have investigated you two... I know what you are. Even though I would face only wretches in my mission, I did not neglect...proper preparation. Hehehe.
Mission? What is it you’re after?!		Reginn
Ursula	It is...pointless for you to know. All you must know is that trash like you need only obey superiors such as me.
I-I will not! I have no reason to obey such a twisted assertion!		Fjorm
Ursula	You are pathetic... You could not protect even those most precious to you. Howls from the lips of failures like you are simply muted cries.
H-how can you say such... terrible things?!		Fjorm
Ursula	I...merely state the facts. Your lives have no meaning. I shall erase you from this world. And you... should be grateful.

Ursula: Blackened Crow - A

Fjorm	Our lives have no meaning... So we should die? That is what you mean to say, isn’t it?
Precisely. Such is the law of nature.		Ursula
Fjorm	I...it’s true that I couldn’t protect my sister Gunnthrá when she died as a result of the conflict with Múspell.
And I too failed to save my brothers in Niðavellir’s civil war. I cannot change that fact.		Reginn
Ursula	So you admit it? Your failure and incompetence have been forever etched into history.
I-it’s true! I could not protect those precious to me! But now... Now my purpose is to protect all I have left. Everything I care for! You cannot call me a failure!		Reginn
Ursula	Foolishness... Through you have no leg to stand on, you...persist...
You do not decide whether or not we have value. No... And neither do we. All we can do is live our best lives... to carry on the legacy of those who have passed, those precious to us. In no way is it a pointless existence to protect those we care for.		Fjorm
Ursula	What a pathetic justification for living! This talk is over. Begone! My magic will do away with you! Haa!
Enough!		???
Ursula	How?! What is this... Wh-where did that arrow come from?
That was quite a distance, but it seems my arrow was enough to give you pause!		Lyn
Hector	Not bad, Lyn. It seems we have a familiar face here up to no good. Allow me to join in on this carnage!
Princess Fjorm, Princess Reginn! Are you two harmed? We shall aid you!		Eliwood
Fjorm	We are unharmed, everyone! Please, accept my gratitude!
This is a surprise... My targets... They have all emerged unscathed. It appears I am at a disadvantage. This...is not over! I shall return to finish what I have started!		Ursula
Reginn	W-wait! No! She disappeared into the darkness. Just like that, in the blink of an eye.
The Black Fang does that. Looks like she got away without a hitch.		Lyn
Hector	Hmph. So they’re going to be bothering us here too...
I’m happy everyone is safe. I suppose I need to tell Commander Anna to increase security at the castle.		Eliwood
Fjorm	If she can only see people based on whether or not they have value according to her... Maybe she is worthy of pity...

Ursula: Blackened Crow - S

Sonia	You are telling me you failed to assassinate them? How dare you return to me a failure.
It is...unacceptable, Lady Sonia. Next time, I shall return with their heads.		Ursula
Sonia	Next time? You think you deserve another chance? I despise useless beings. They have no right to stand before me.
...		Ursula
Sonia	But perhaps... I will offer and exception this time and grant you one more chance. You will carry out your mission next time, will you not?
Of course, Lady Sonia. For you... I will prove... I am a person of value.		Ursula
Sonia	Hmm... I will retire to my room. And you... You will return only when you have good news for me.
Y-yes, Lady Sonia. You are so kind. I will be of use to you no matter what. I must...not fail. I vow to serve you, Lady Sonia, a perfect being.		Ursula
Sonia	Ursula, Ursula... What a useless morph... A failure. I do not wish to lay my eyes on failures. If this morph cannot prove itself useful, then I will simply toss it aside. Failures have no value, after all...
