In Those We Hope/Felix: Sword Savant

Felix: Sword Savant - C

Felix	Yah! Haaa!
Felix	Hmph. Is it over already? I expected a challenge. I was told there were powerful foes here, but I find only weaklings. I hoped for an opportunity to test the power of this levin sword, but these foes failed to meet my expectations. Although, there are some battalions still fighting... Perhaps I should offer them my support.
Felix	Yah! Haaa! These foes are providing a far more satisfying challenge. This is what makes coming to another world worthwhile! Hold on. Who is that?
Ha! Yaaah! I will not allow you to get past me! Haaa!		Altina
Felix	She is dual wielding, it seems, and with such ferocity. Intriguing. Who is this swordswoman?
Yah! Haaa!		Altina
Felix	I can hardly believe what I’m seeing. She wields those two massive blades as though they weigh nothing. She must have strength to rival even the boar.
Withdraw from here, all of you who strive to take what is not yours. Your weapons will not harm me, for I have something I intend to protect no matter the cost.		Altina
Felix	Her presence is imposing even at this distance, and now the enemies are starting to retreat without a fight. She can rout scores of foes on her own in mere moments...
Ahhh... I am grateful for the goddess’s protection for helping me to survive another day.		Altina
Felix	I am pleased to see that there are warriors this strong in the Order of Heroes. I must request a match with her when I return to the castle.

Felix: Sword Savant - B

Annette	A warrior wielding two large swords?
Yes. And she had long purple-hued hair. Do you know who she is?		Felix
Annette	Hmm... I don’t recall seeing anyone who fits that description. Mercie, do you know who he’s talking about?
She must have more defining traits than just her weapons and hair. There are a number of women in the Order of Heroes who have long hair that color.		Mercedes
Sylvain	But you say this is a female Hero who carries two large swords, right? I can’t think of anyone who fits. I do know a few who wield short swords, but that’s about it.
Really? I’m shocked that you, of all people, don’t know who she is.		Felix
Annette	If Sylvain hasn’t met her, she may not be a member of the Order of Heroes.
That’s a good point. Sylvain has made it his purpose in life to talk to every woman in the Order.		Mercedes
Sylvain	There are some Heroes here who choose to keep to themselves for a a number of reasons. The woman you’re looking for could be someone important or have a past she prefers not to draw attention to.
In that case, perhaps I should start looking for her elsewhere.		Felix

Felix: Sword Savant - A

Felix	I have searched the entire castle and found no sign of her. Wait, is that...
...		Altina
Felix	There she is. Why is she hiding out in the depths of a forest like this?
You there. Why are you here? Do you have business with me?		Altina
Felix	What? I didn’t expect her to notice me from such a distance. I am Felix Hugo Fraldarius, a swordsman. I observed you on the battlefield recently.
Ah... I thought I saw someone looking my way. So that was you. I am Altina. I was summoned here from Tellius.		Altina
Felix	I came looking for you because I am interested in your swords and your technique with them.
These are sacred blades, entrusted to me by a goddess in Tellius. Ragnell for the heavenly. Alondite for the earthly. As long as I possess these weapons, I shall not fall.		Altina
Felix	I thought they might be imbued with something special, but you say they are sacred blades? I find myself more intrigued by the minute. I must insist upon a match with you.
A match? If you wish it. Ready your weapon. Now then... Ha! Yaaah!		Altina
Felix	There! Urk!
Felix	Such speed! If I let my focus slip even for an instant, I will lose track of the path of her blades!
If you will not come at me, then I will go to you. Haaa!		Altina
Felix	Urgh! An impressive flurry of attacks with both sacred blades at once.
Felix	I have to know... How are you able to wield those two long swords with such ease? The weapons are quite impressive. Wielding even one of them effectively can’t be a simple task.
Ragnell and Alondite only appear as swords to you. But, what I wield are...sentiments.		Altina
Felix	Sentiments? I assume you jest...
It is no just. It is the manifestation of my desire to protect what is precious. That desire reached Ragnell and Alondite, and they answered my call.		Altina
Felix	...
These sacred swords are part of me. My sentiments given physical form. That is why I can wield them as if they were my own limbs.		Altina
Felix	Hm. Judging by your expression, you actually mean what you say. Fine. Sentiments, then. In that case, I must not lose. I need to be stronger than any other. If we are comparing desires, mine cannot be outmatched!
His blade is getting sharper!		Altina
Felix	Have at you, swordswoman from another world! Let’s see if you can withstand my attack! Rrraaahhh!

Felix: Sword Savant - S

Felix	...
Felix, we meet again. I enjoyed our sparring match the other day. I haven’t felt a tremor in my heart like that in a long time.		Altina
Felix	It seems I did not follow the proper etiquette in our conversation when we met before.
What is this? Why are you acting so formal now?		Altina
Felix	I spoke with Prince Alfonse. He said you are Altina, one of three legendary Heroes who saved Tellius. I offer my apologies. I didn’t realize I was behaving in such an unbecoming manner to the founder of Begnion.
You have nothing to apologize for. To tell you the truth, I heard more about you from one of your peers.		Altina
Felix	My peers? You mean someone from Garreg Mach Monastery?
Yes. He was also looking for me and we met by chance in this forest. He told me you are not a bad person, but when it comes to swords you can get carried away sometimes. He said, “Approach talking to him as if you are talking to a child.”		Altina
Felix	Sylvain. Sticking his nose in where it doesn’t belong.
All of that aside, we have pitted our sentiments against each other in combat once already. Let us advance our power together, for the sake of the people of Askr as much as ourselves.		Altina
Felix	That’s exactly what I want. To keep sparring with powerful foes so I can continue to improve my skills.
When we sparred, I felt your blade was imbued with strong sentiment bound in the energy of order.		Altina
Felix	The energy of order? I’m not certain I understand.
Sentiments that grow too strong can sometimes twist people’s hearts, and become bound in chaotic energy. Not in this case. Your blade remained unblemished, your sentiment pure. I encourage you to treat that pure, unyielding sentiment with care.		Altina
Felix	I will do as I have always done and follow my desire to grow stronger.
There are many Heroes with pure sentiments like yours here in Askr. You would likely benefit from inviting them to cross blades as well. If you come to know each of their sentiments, your blade will become even greater.		Altina
Felix	You can be sure I will not waste this opportunity to train with so many powerful opponents. I have no intention of being bested. Not when it comes to the blade, nor any sentiments. I will continue to sharpen my skills, so that I get stronger and faster. I aim to reach even greater heights!
