Gust of Ostia/Story

Gust of Ostia - Opening

Hector	So this is Askr... It's hard to believe this is a different world.
I am here to escort you, Lord Hector. Lord Uther and Oswin are waiting for you.		Leila
Hector	And with a familiar face like yours, it makes it even harder to believe this isn't Ostia. Princess Sharena told me that you, too, haven't been in Askr long. Is that right, Leila?
Yes. And Lord Uther and Oswin also just got here. I guess that's why they want to meet, to sort all this out... It seems Lord Uther is bent on devoting himself wholly to Askr's cause.		Leila
Hector	Sounds like him. He's always been a firm believer in quick decisions. I suppose it's time we go meet them.
You seem eager, Lord Hector.		Leila
Hector	Do I? Perhaps it's due to the fact that I haven't seen my brother since I left Ostia.
So you're looking forward to reuniting?		Leila
Hector	You're joking, right? He's only going to lecture me, no question about it. But I've been in some near-death situations too. I will show him how I've grown, and shut him up for once!
Oh, so that's why you're eager... Well I am sure Lord Uther will be put at ease with how you've grown.		Leila
Hector	I hope you're right. It's no easy task to accomplish...
Hector	Sorry for the wait, Uther! Good to see you're doing well!
Quiet down, Lord Hector. You are in the room for but one moment and you have forgotten your manners.		Oswin
Uther	Hmm... You do not change no matter where you go. Oswin has informed me what you have been up to since you left Ostia.
Oh, come on! Sure, Oswin scolded me on a daily basis, but... I have proven myself worthy on the battlefield, if I do say so myself! A-and not just me! Eliwood and I have worked well together to prevail through life-or-death situations.		Hector
Uther	Yes. I can acknowledge your accomplishments on the battlefield. But that is not everything. As one who bears the weight of Ostia on your shoulders, you must— Urrr...
Lord Uther!		Oswin
Uther	I am...fine. Just a little lightheaded, that is all.
Doesn't seem like just a little. You don't look so good. See, even after coming to another world, you still work too hard. You need to rest from time to time.		Hector

Gust of Ostia - C

Oswin	Oh, Lord Hector! You’re here... You are not going to the training grounds today?
Actually, I’ve been waiting to catch you alone. It’s about time you come clean about Uther’s illness. I know if I ask him, he’ll laugh in my face. It’s much faster and less humiliating just to ask you.		Hector
Oswin	So...you noticed...
Are you kidding? Of course I did. He exhibited much more than typical exhaustion. We can’t let it get out that the leader of Lycia is afflicted with an illness. So...I understand your discretion.		Hector
Oswin	Nevertheless, I am sorry I hid the details from you. I suppose it is of no use trying to hide it any longer. I will tell you about his condition...
Yes, Lord Hector? You called for me?		Leila
Hector	I cannot believe Uther’s illness is so serious!
So you heard...		Leila
Hector	We’re in Askr now. We must take advantage of the fact that there are Heroes from different worlds here... I would not be surprised if one of them has a method to save someone from a supposed “incurable” illness.
So...you want me to track down such a person?		Leila
Hector	I would ask Matthew, but...he is on a mission for the Order of Heroes. I know you are someone Uther trusts. But as you are a reliable spy, I can’t think of anyone better equipped. So... What do you say?
Of course I’ll do it. I’ll start right now.		Leila

Gust of Ostia - B

Uther	Hector! Is Hector here?
...		Oswin
Hector	What’s all the commotion? Oh! Uther... And Oswin too?!
So this is where you were... You disappoint me once again, Hector. You come to Askr and still engage in this foolishness... Tell me—you ordered Leila to do some reconnaissance out of concern for my illness, did you not?		Uther
Hector	So you know? Well...yes. And I’d do it again.
How could you...		Uther
Hector	I...am sorry. I pried it from Oswin’s lips and asked Leila for help without your permission. But... Leila is almost back, so we can hear what she’s found.
It appears you have no understanding of your purpose here. Ask yourself why you were summoned. Go on... You do not suppose that you were brought here to save my life, do you?! Foolish...		Uther
Hector	I, uh...
My purpose—our purpose—here is to fight for the people of Askr. That is why you were summoned. Take heed, Hector. Why is it you suppose we have the power to fight? It is neither to boast our heroism nor to assuage our egos.		Uther
Hector	...
We possess the strength of warriors to aid the people who live honest lives day in and day out. Do not concern yourself with me. Concern yourself first with the people of Askr. That...is your purpose here.		Uther
Leila	Lord Uther!
Leila... You heard all that, did you? Then you must have take Lord Uther’s words to heart?		Oswin
Leila	Yes, I have.
I have been scolded plenty of times in my life, but this... This hurts... I am sorry, Leila. I had the wrong idea.		Hector
Leila	Do not be so hard on yourself, Hector. I also failed to perceive Lord Uther’s resolve.
His resolve... Yes, I... I should respect that.		Hector

Gust of Ostia - A

Hector	...
Ah, I found you, Lord Hector.		Leila
Oswin	It is not like you to get lost in thought. I do hope axes are not about to rain from the sky.
Ugh... After what Uther said, of course I’ve got thoughts to sort out. He told me his true resolve, that of Marquess Ostia, leader of the Lycian League.		Hector
Oswin	It is unwavering, yes.
Then, let’s follow suit. We shall bring peace to Askr as swiftly as possible! Then Uther can set foot in Ostia once again!		Hector
Oswin	I will support your efforts and remain by your side, Lord Hector, though my strength is hardly enough.
I get more than enough scolding already from Matthew, and I don’t need you joining in, but... You are far more experienced than me. And it is in my best interest to count on your council, Oswin.		Hector
Leila	And I will do the same. I shall by your and Uther’s eyes and ears while I perform my reconnaissance for Askr.
Askr will be lucky to benefit from your talent, Leila. You two will do great things here, I know it!		Hector
Oswin	Lord Uther, I have returned.
Yes, Oswin... I appreciate the trouble you have gone through. Tell me, how was he?		Uther
Oswin	Hector had some thoughts to sort through after hearing from you. He has resolved himself quite well, directed his gaze to the future. He is very determined.
Hmm... Is that so? In the past, he would have fought back, attempted to have his way... I suppose he had grown since he left Ostia.		Uther
Oswin	After being by his side all this time, I am certain that he has.
Oswin, from now on, I leave him in your care.		Uther
Oswin	Of course.
I would be lying if I said I was not worried. However... There will be a new wind that blows through Ostia, and at its center...Hector. This wind will embolden people to take steps into the future. It will be proud... Strong.		Uther
