Special conversations

Wakened Dark

Wakened Dark - Opening

Noire	Um... Mother... Wh-what in the world are you planning to do in a place like this?!
There is no need to tremble in fear. I have no plans to use you as a test subject for my dark magic...today.		Tharja
Noire	T-test subject?!
I said I do not plan to do that. Not today, anyway. Hehehe...		Tharja
Noire	Eeek! That laugh is...terrifying!
Settle down. I was thinking we would gather materials for my magic in this forest. As my daughter, you can do that much for me, can't you?		Tharja
Noire	Y-yes... I've seen you research magic, so...I think I can manage.
We don't have much time. Come on— we'll split up.		Tharja
Noire	Uh...magical components... In the future, Mother uses snake heads and newt skins. Hmm... I wonder where I can find those materials. This might be more difficult than I thought.
Noire	Aieee! Wh-what is that ominous presence?! Aaah, someone is there... I...must hide in the bushes!
So this is Askr? At first glance, it appears no different from my world. But here... I SHALL GRASP YET MORE POWER!		Grima
Noire	Aaah! I have to tell Mother!
Noire	Th-this is bad, Mother!
Oh? Tell me, did you find a rare snake or something?		Tharja
Noire	N-no! It's... Grima! Grima has come to Askr!
The ancient Fell Dragon has come to this world?		Tharja
Noire	Yes! It was definitely the Fell Dragon Grima, the one who destroyed the world I came from!
And this world is next.		Grima
Noire	Bhaaa! He... Sh-she's here!
This malicious aura... You must be Grima.		Tharja
Noire	B-but the Grima I saw was male... I think.
It was me you fled from the moment you saw my face. How...hurtful.		Grima
Noire	Ahhh! Yes, yes, there he is, Mother! It's the male Grima!
Their presence is identical. There are two of them...		Tharja
Grima	I realize this is sudden since we just met, but it would be problematic for you to make a scene.
Since you two have seen us, you will have to depart from this world here and now!		Grima
Noire	Aaah! Mother, run!
Where would you have us run? There is nowhere to hide here.		Tharja
Noire	Baaah! There's a shadow next to you, Mother!
It's the shadow of...a large person. You're...		Tharja
Eikþyrnir	Who's causing a ruckus this deep in the forest?

Wakened Dark - C

Eikþyrnir	What a happy coincidence, meeting Heroes here, deep in the forest.
It appears we have a nuisance on our hands.		Grima
Tharja	You are not our enemy? Then, are you, perhaps, a member of the Order of Heroes?
Are we...saved?!		Noire
Eikþyrnir	Why are you tense? Training in secret is a good thing.
We weren’t training! Nooo... Don’t you feel the malicious aura radiating from them?!		Noire
Eikþyrnir	Not at all.
Fell Dragon Grima... For what purpose have you come to this world?		Tharja
Grima	It is simple. We are here to eliminate all the Fire Emblems that exist here. They are troubling things that guide those who seek to perform the Awakening, you see.
We would have nothing left to be concerned about if the Fire Emblems of all the worlds were destroyed. If you get in our way, we shall annihilate you all.		Grima
Noire	No... Then Askr will be just like the despair I lived through! Eek!
Calm, Noire...		Tharja
Grima	We are superior to humans in every way. It is pointless to resist us.
Superior, hm? Humans are not as weak as you think.		Eikþyrnir
Grima	Hmph. Nonsense!
If you don’t believe me, then compete with them, here and now.		Eikþyrnir
Grima	You want us, Fell Dragons of immense power, to compete with these pitiful humans?
Yes. Your opponent will be this girl.		Eikþyrnir
Noire	Whaaa! M-me?!
No need to fear. The human body has limitless potential. Tell me, what skills do you have?		Eikþyrnir
Noire	N-n-nothing! I, uh... I...think I can run fast.
It does appear you have the muscles for it. We will have ourselves a good competition.		Eikþyrnir

Wakened Dark - B

Grima	We too have only just arrived in this world, so we will entertain this little diversion for now.
No matter the kind of competition, the outcome is clear. So, what is it you propose?		Grima
Eikþyrnir	If you are able to capture Noire before she flees the forest, victory is yours. After that, do as you wish.
We accept. After all, it is not possible for us to lose to a human.		Grima
Eikþyrnir	Ready, Noire?
C-can I really win? If I lose to them, they’ll do terrible things to Askr...		Noire
Tharja	Do not worry. You can do this.
M-Mother?		Noire
Tharja	You don’t need to rely on your charm. You are strong without it. You just need to believe in yourself.
Mother...I... I’ll give it my best!		Noire
Eikþyrnir	Then we will begin. I will be the judge.
Here I go, Mother!		Noire
Eikþyrnir	Oh, her legs have taken her far, She is a quick runner, after all. You two can pursue her now.
There is no reason to put forth our full effort against a human opponent.		Grima
Grima	Let us take our time with her... Then we will show her just how powerless she is.
*pant* *pant* Eek! I can’t...catch my breath! But I can’t stop... Or else Mother and Askr will...		Noire
Grima	Hmph. Pointless human struggle.
Is it time to end this?		Grima
Noire	Eeeeee! Th-they’re catching up! *pant* *pant* Can I not win?! Am I... not enough... Mother, Father... Urrr! Rrraaahhh! Nooo! I won’t lose to a mere Fell Dragon! That muscular man gave me this opportunity, and I won’t let it go to waste!
Hm... She is running faster.		Grima
Noire	Move, legs! Go! Run until you can’t run anymore... Rrraaahhh!

Wakened Dark - A

Noire	I did it! I made it out of the forest! I... *pant* Won!
Indeed, you won. Congratulations. Now, shall we cease with this foolishness?		Grima
Grima	Yes. Play time is over. We shall eliminate you now...
Wh-wha— No!		Noire
Grima	What is happening?
It seems my spell worked.		Tharja
Noire	M-Mother!
Before the match started, you said you could never lose to a human. I cast a spell on those words. Therefore, you broke your own covenant. The power that restrains you is your own.		Tharja
Grima	You wretched... Yet, it appears this spell will take time to break.
Next time you show your face, I will devour you, first and foremost.		Grima
Eikþyrnir	Hm. They disappeared.
*sigh* Oh, good. I’m saved!		Noire
Tharja	You got lucky this time. But you did well, Noire.
I don’t know why, but... My body felt lighter than usual. Did you also cast a charm on me to make me run faster?		Noire
Tharja	I did nothing of the sort. I simply had faith in your speed.
You...had faith in me?		Noire
Tharja	You must be confident in yourself. You are much stronger than you think.
Th-thank you, Mother!		Noire
Eikþyrnir	Well done. I think you understand now, hm? No matter what, your body is capable of overcoming any challenge. So you must continue to train it.

Noire: Of Two Minds

Noire: Of Two Minds - C

???	*sniffle*
Oh... What is that? It sounds like someone is sobbing. I wonder where...		Ratatoskr
Noire	*sniffle* *sniffle*
Aha! Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t you Noire from the continent of Ylisse?		Ratatoskr
Noire	Oh, Ratatoskr... *sniffle* I’m sorry. I must have surprised you.
Why are you crying. If you’re injured, I can heal you.		Ratatoskr
Noire	Thank you, but it’s not that I’m injured... It’s that my nose won’t stop running.
Oh? You must be sick. Leave it to me!		Ratatoskr
Huh. The power of the Healing Hands couldn’t cure it?		Ratatoskr
Noire	Um... That’s because it isn’t a wound or a disease... My mother is a dark mage who placed a runny-nose curse on me.
How interesting.		Rhajat
Noire	Mother?! When did you... *sniffle*
I believe you’re mistaking me for someone else. I am Rhajat. You might consider me a diviner.		Rhajat
Noire	Oh, yes... Now I see that you aren’t her. *sniffle* You startled me. You really are the spitting image of her. *sniffle*
Oh, I know what to do! Rhajat, since you’re a diviner, can you do something about the curse that’s been placed on Noire?		Ratatoskr
Rhajat	Let me take a look...
*sniffle*		Noire
Rhajat	Hmm... The catalyst had to have been the head of a salamander...
S-so...can you break the curse?		Ratatoskr
Rhajat	It is magnificent. I have no inkling as to why it gives you a runny nose, but...it is very intriguing.
Your admiration isn’t exactly— *sniffle* *sniffle*		Noire
Rhajat	Oh... Well, how about this?
Huh? My nose... It’s no longer runny!		Noire
Ratatoskr	Amazing! Isn’t that great, Noire?!
Th-thank— *hiccup* Huh?		Noire
Rhajat	Oh, those hiccups are just the price to bear for no runny nose.
So— *hiccup* All you accomplished was replacing the curse with *hiccup* another one?!		Noire

Noire: Of Two Minds - B

Rhajat	Ah, I found you. I’ve been looking for you, Noire...
Mother—I mean, Rhajat, thank you for your help last night. I couldn’t stop hiccuping until this morning. But at least my pillow wasn’t soaked in snot.		Noire
Rhajat	So, the hiccuping went away in the morning... I see. I suspected as much.
Wh-what do you mean?		Noire
Rhajat	Your susceptibility to hexes. The effects appear just as intended, without any unnecessary resistance.
You...		Noire
Rhajat	Yes?
DO YOU HAVE NO FEELINGS?! IT TAKES A COLD-HEARTED, INHUMANE DEMON TO TREAT A PERSON LIKE A GUINEA PIG!		Noire
Rhajat	...
I DIDN’T COME TO ASKR TO BE A SACRIFICE FOR HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION!		Noire
Rhajat	N-Noire?
Eeek! I did it again!		Noire
Rhajat	Do you do that often? Become a completely different person?
Uh...truthfully, my mother gave me a talisman that heightens my emotions when danger is near. It causes me to turn into a sort of... raging person.		Noire
Rhajat	Could I see that talisman?
I... I don’t have it anymore. When I went to the past, my mother took it. But even without it, I still change... Could this be another curse?		Noire
Rhajat	Interesting. So, you want to know if your personality changes are due to a curse or something else, is that right?
Y-yes... If that’s possible.		Noire
Rhajat	Shall we look into it? Come, accompany me.

Noire: Of Two Minds - A

Noire	U-um... Will we be all right? We are separated from the rest of our allies.
We will be fine. The foes are shorthanded, so there is no need to worry.		Rhajat
Noire	W-will we really learn about my curse by coming to this battlefield?
We will soon find out. Oh dear. I sense more enemies surrounding us, far more than I suspected.		Rhajat
Noire	Eeeeek! I thought you said there weren’t that many?!
Troubling... What ever shall we do?		Rhajat
Noire	You don’t look troubled! Uhhh...
They’re closing in.		Rhajat
Noire	Eeek!
At this rate, we may perish in battle.		Rhajat
Noire	As if...
...		Rhajat
Noire	AS IF I’D LOSE! NO MATTER HOW MANY WEAKLINGS GATHER, THEY ARE NOTHING! PREPARE YOURSELF! TROOPS OF THIS NUMBER WON’T STOP ME!
Noire	RRRAAARGH! ARRRGH! APPROACH IF YOU DON’T VALUE YOUR LIFE! BWAA HA HA HA HA!
Amazing. She is breaking through their barricade and thrashing them... It’s hard to tell who is in a worse predicament now.		Rhajat
Noire	*pant* We should be safe here. Ugh! Somehow, we survived.
It is thanks to you, Noire. You got us out of that bind.		Rhajat
Noire	Uh... Th-that’s good.
And I think I figured out the catalyst for your personality shift.		Rhajat

Noire: Of Two Minds - S

Noire	Y-you know the reason behind my personality changes?
I sensed something in you when you transformed... A will to survive, no matter the circumstances.		Rhajat
Noire	Wha...
Such a firm resolution. How could such strength be drawn out? Surely this is not due to a curse. In all likelihood, it is from the sentiment within that talisman.		Rhajat
Noire	R-really?
Yes. Your mother imbued the talisman with a wish for her daughter to not die. I believe that sentiment developed in you as a will to survive.		Rhajat
Noire	My mother wished...that for me?
Her feelings remain in your spirit and support you, even if your talisman is no longer with you. That is likely why, even without it, your personality shifts so you can survive.		Rhajat
Noire	Actually... I had a feeling something like that was the case. Though I have wanted someone else to confirm my suspicion...
You seem convinced now.		Rhajat
Noire	It is...embarrassing to change so much, but...I feel like I can look more toward the future, thanks to you.
That is good to hear.		Rhajat
Noire	Hey, Rhajat? Are you...really not related to my mother? Maybe a long-lost sister? You even sound just like her.
Hm... Perhaps we share a connection that transcends worlds. I also felt a certain kinship with you... Perhaps why I treated you so kindly, like a parent to a child.		Rhajat
Noire	M-maybe...since we’re already here, we could...get to know each other while we’re in Askr?
Let’s do that. Now, apologies for springing this on you, but how do you feel about being a little guinea pig for my new spells? Don’t worry. They shouldn’t be fatal. Hee hee... Hee hee hee...		Rhajat
Noire	Whaaa! That’s not what I meant by ”get to know each other”!

Grima: Tyrant of Despair

Grima: Tyrant of Despair - C

Robin	Welcome to Askr. I am happy to have met you here, Fell Dragon Grima.
Heheheh... I can feel the power of a Fell Dragon growing within you.		Grima
Robin	I am still not complete as a Fell Dragon, and I have yet to recover all of my memories. However, seeing you with my own eyes is reassuring. I am now certain a future of despair is inevitable. Your presence speaks eloquently of what is to come.
You, too, will become a complete Fell Dragon one day and bring despair.		Grima
Robin	I will. Heheheh. Hearing you say that is comforting.
Does something about all of this concern you?		Grima
Robin	In Askr, there are some who came from other worlds who have not yet accepted this as true. Robins who are constrained by the bounds of foolish values.
They do not embrace their roles as the Fell Dragon’s vessels?		Grima
Robin	Yes. I cannot understand it.
You must take me to these other Robins, that they may be made to accept despair.		Grima

Grima: Tyrant of Despair - B

Robin	There she is. Me from another world.
She will undoubtedly reconsider her position when she meets me. You! Otherworldly Robin who has misunderstand our purpose. I must speak with you. Face me.		Grima
Robin	What?! No... This is Grima’s presence.
What are you doing with all those flowers? And wearing that absurd outfit?		Grima
Robin	Th-this is for the Day of Devotion. A tradition passed down in Askr. Showing devotion and love to resist despair. The outfit is part of a ritual to nurture love!
Idiocy! Get rid of that foolish clothing at once and accept despair!		Grima
Robin	It is not foolish! No matter what happens, I shall resist despair!
I see mere words will not convince you. Then I must resort to force...		Grima
Robin	What’s the commotion over here?
Another...		Grima
Robin	N-no way... This presence I feel... Is this Grima?
Why have you come to Askr? What is that ridiculous outfit? Do you realize that you are the vessel of the Fell Dragon? Did you forget something in Ylisse?		Grima
Robin	This outfit is, um... I was making sure I am revitalized before going into battle. I mean... This is a sound strategy I devised to bring victory! Well...a small part of it...
You seem to have forgotten far too much of yourselves as the vessels of the Fell Dragon. You are making my head pound... I will retire for today.		Grima
Robin	Are you all right? You’re trembling.
I meant to show them despair, but instead had it shown to me...		Grima

Grima: Tyrant of Despair - A

Grima	Do these other Robins truly share the same soul as you?
I agree it is difficult to believe, but they are without a doubt me from other worlds.		Robin
Grima	Why were they summoned here?
Do not fret. Those Robins are an exception among exceptions. There are others more like us in Askr as well. We should speak with them.		Robin
Grima	Yes. Let us seek them out right away.
Hm...		Robin
Robin	Oh...
What...is this?		Grima
Robin	Ahh! You two are...
You there, that is quite the ridiculous ensemble you have on. The Fell Dragon’s power is growing within you. Why would you demean that honor by associating yourself with such absurd festivities?		Grima
Robin	But...you have it all wrong! I am doing this deliberately, to sabotage their foolish games from within, you see!
Huh...		Robin
Grima	What am I missing? Precisely what do you intend to accomplish by wearing such attire?
I-I’m trying to tell you! It’s a ruse. I will blend in, then plunge the joyful humans into despair during their festival...when they are happiest!		Robin
Grima	You said the Robins we met before were an exception among exceptions. It appears you were incorrect. Hm? She’s gone?! Did she flee?
Actually, I’m quite busy too, so I’ll just be on my way now.		Robin
Grima	What is this...

Grima: Tyrant of Despair - S

Grima	If this is how things are here, I must take a moment to plan my strategy...
Oh!		Robin
Grima	Hm? If it isn’t...
Oh no! You’re the Fell Dragon, Grima!		Robin
Grima	Yes...
It can’t be... Are you here to bring about a future of despair in Askr?! I won’t let you! My comrades and I will thwart your evil plot!		Robin
Grima	Finally...
Excuse me?		Robin
Grima	Yes... Yes! This is exactly what I was looking for!
Wh-what do you mean?		Robin
Grima	You need not know. It has nothing to do with you. I shall state once again... The future is set, no matter how hard you struggle to change it.
That’s not true!		Robin
Grima	My existence is proof of that. Accept the future of despair. Do not waste your time with pointless resistance.
Even if the future is set in stone, I will fight it to the very end! For I have learned that fates can be changed!		Robin
Grima	It is useless. I already exist in Askr... You understand what that means, do you not?
I...		Robin
Grima	Do not lie to yourself. In your heart, you have already lost the battle. You have looked upon my form with your own eyes and seen the despair! I am eager for that delightful moment you realize the truth and your empty posturing turns into hopelessness.
Huh? Wh-what? She said all of that and... just left? I feel as though something is amiss. I must proceed cautiously and discuss this with the other Robins.		Robin

Tharja: Gloomy Mage

Tharja: Gloomy Mage - C

Orochi	Hm. There can be no doubt. I feel a powerful font of magic. The training grounds are ahead, though I only see archers training out there now.
Remember...stay calm, keep your eyes on the target, and... Yes! I hit it!		Noire
Orochi	It seems as if she is the source of the magic I feel. Though she doesn’t look like she would have any connection to magic or the practice of it. Hey! You there! May I have a word with you?
Oh... Can I help you with something?		Noire
Orochi	At a glance, you appear to be an archer, but do you happen to use magic as well?
Magic? Um... I can use a little, but... I’m not particularly good at it.		Noire
Orochi	Hm... Then, perhaps someone in your family is a skilled magic practitioner?
My mother was an exceptional magic practitioner...well, dark magic. But she was always absorbed in her research and never taught me any of that. So, I’m not good at any kind of magic, dark or otherwise.		Noire
Orochi	Is that so? And who is your mother?
Tharja. She’s a dark mage from Plegia who has been summoned to Askr.		Noire
Orochi	Oh, you’re Tharja’s daughter? She’s often helped me gather materials for my charms. I think I understand the gist of your situation. Apologies for interrupting your training.
Orochi	So that’s what she said, and...
You came to ask me about it.		Tharja
Orochi	I don’t understand. Why wouldn’t you teach your daughter magic? She has so much magical power. Why waste that talent and leave her as a mere archer?
You’re asking me why I didn’t teach her magic in the future? I would like to know the answer to that as well.		Tharja
Orochi	Oh. That’s...a surprise. You haven’t any idea, either?
If I am absorbed in my dark magical research in the future, then... It seems only natural that I would have raised her as my assistant. That makes the most sense.		Tharja
Orochi	Hm. I wonder if something came up.
As do I...		Tharja

Tharja: Gloomy Mage - B

Tharja	Noire, I thought I might never find you, but here you are.
Huh. You look as pale as a ghost. Are you well?		Orochi
Noire	I’m a-always pale. You can see I’m a little bit anemic. B-but, why are you two crowding me like this? Ahhh! Did I say or do something to upset you?
Calm down, Noire. We came because we were thinking we might teach you magic.		Tharja
Noire	You’re...going to teach me magic? But...why now? You always refused to do so in the future.
Why is not important. Now, imitate my movements while I cast a spell.		Tharja
Noire	Yah! Hah! Haaa! Ugh...
Hmm... Nothing is happening.		Orochi
Noire	N-nothing at all.
That is odd. You are following each step exactly as I taught you. The spell should be working.		Tharja
Orochi	I can feel the magic residing within her. It makes no sense that it isn’t doing anything.
Umm... Could I have messed up one of the steps?		Noire
Orochi	No, you followed Tharja’s example precisely. I was impressed. You can tell that you’re mother and daughter.
It’s...curious. You imitated my movements as I cast the spell like you already knew them. How were you able to do that?		Tharja
Noire	W-well, in the future I watched you casting your spells and practiced the movements on my own. You wouldn’t teach me, so I would hide and pretend like I could...
That explains it. I still wonder what future Tharja’s reasoning was. If you wanted to learn magic, why didn’t she teach it to you?		Orochi
Tharja	That is the question...
I don’t know... I always felt there was something behind her refusal that she wasn’t telling me.		Noire
Nyx	Hmm...

Tharja: Gloomy Mage - A

Orochi	It is quite peculiar, though. So much magical power is rare. If she trained from an early age, she might have been an adept practitioner now.
Excuse me. May I speak with you for just a moment?		Nyx
Tharja	You’re the dark mage from Nohr.
I just happened to overhear your conversation.		Nyx
Orochi	Nyx. You came at exactly the right time. If you have any insight, please share it.
Dark magic carries a price depending on the intended effect. A powerful spell will have an equivalent cost. At times the cost can be greater than just exhausting one’s magical power.		Nyx
Noire	M-Mother did say something about that in the future.
I see...		Tharja
Nyx	I don’t know what the Tharja of the future was thinking, but... If Noire can live without relying on magic, maybe that’s preferable. It’s better than being shackled by the cost of her magic, as I was.
What? Nyx, did something happen to you because of your magic?		Noire
Nyx	I have looked exactly as I do now for decades. I continue to be punished for magic I used when I was young.
Oh!		Noire
Tharja	Hm...

Tharja: Gloomy Mage - S

Tharja	I believe I understand now why I chose not to teach Noire dark magic. This must be how future Tharja felt upon facing this decision.
Oh? And how is that?		Orochi
Tharja	This is a matter that should be kept between Noire and me as a child and her parent. Oh, Noire...
Mother?		Noire
Tharja	I didn’t teach you dark magic in the future. I would have handled it the same in the present of our world. But in this world there are forms of dark magic I was unaware of. Some of which will not pose a threat to you. So, if you want to learn dark magic here, then I think that is all right.
Me? Learn magic?		Noire
Tharja	If you wish to. I could teach you. Or one of the many other talented dark mages in the Order of Heroes could. I wouldn’t mind if you wanted to study with one of them. If you want to make the wish you couldn’t have granted in the future come true here, I support you.
If I wish? In that case, I don’t need to learn magic now.		Noire
Orochi	But, why not? With your potential, you could be a powerful force for the Order of Heroes.
Ahhh! Thank you for trying to be encouraging, but...please don’t push me like that! Wh-what I wish for isn’t to be able to use magic, but to support Mother. Protecting her using this bow fits me and makes more sense than starting to learn magic now.		Noire
Nyx	Is that so? Then that’s your answer, as someone raised as a hero, hm?
Your desire to protect your mother is admirable.		Orochi
Tharja	Thank you, Noire. Your feelings are enough to make me happy. Your presence at my side alone is worth more to me than any magic or weapon. My beloved little Noire. I hope that you will stay by my side always. I will protect you until the end of time. Heheh, heheheh, heheheheheh!
M-Mother... You’re scaring me a little.		Noire
Orochi	Tharja’s excessive motherly love may end up being more of a burden than the dangers of dark magic.

Grima: Tyrant of Ruin

Grima: Tyrant of Ruin - C

Grima	This presence... There is no mistaking it. It is what I was searching for. I felt it in Askr too.
You there. Stop where you are. I will not allow you to advance any farther.		Medeus
Grima	Is that so...
You seem to be a dragon, but your power is...malicious. What are you? You are neither Divine nor Earth Dragon. Nor do you appear to be a Fire or Mage Dragon...		Medeus
Grima	I am Grima, the Fell Dragon who brings despair to the world.
A Fell Dragon, you say?		Medeus
Grima	I am seeking something. As a dragon, you may know what it is. I believe it may be in this castle. That cursed divine relic that seals away the power of dragons.
Hm...		Medeus
Grima	The Fire Emblem. That is the divine relic I must find. If you know where it is, tell me now. Save me the effort of destroying this entire castle.
I think not. Even had I that knowledge, I would not share words with an imitation of a dragon such as you.		Medeus
Grima	You dare to cast insults at me? You are foolishly bold.

Grima: Tyrant of Ruin - B

Grima	Your words displease me. How can you say I am an imitation?
I merely point out the truth. Your soul and your power... I sense neither are those of a pure dragon.		Medeus
Grima	Then test your theory here and now. Witness for yourself the power of a Fell Dragon.
I may have taken on the form of a man, but I shall not be bested by an imitation.		Medeus
Grima	You will regret this! Rrraaahhh!!!
Stop this!		Tiki
Medeus	Hm? You are...
Both of you must cease this. If you begin fighting here, you will cause significant damage.		Tiki
Grima	I sense it...the Voice of the Divine Dragon. Damage? All I care about is crushing those who oppose me.
Why do you seek the Fire Emblem?		Tiki
Grima	I must destroy it. I must destroy each and every one of them from every possible world!
Is that so...		Tiki
Grima	I responded to the summons because I felt that presence gathering here. The Fire Emblems stand between me and my goal of bringing despair to the world. How convenient would it be if, by being summoned here, I was able to eliminate them all at once.
I will not allow them to be destroyed. They were created so humanity and dragonkind could coexist.		Medeus
Grima	Then you leave me no choice. I must act on my own.
Wait! Hmph... He fled.		Medeus
Tiki	If he can sense the Fire Emblems, I can guess where he may go next. Let us pursue him. Now, before it is too late.

Grima: Tyrant of Ruin - A

Chrom	Ugh! What is this...stifling miasma?
Hmm...		Grima
Chrom	Who is there?!
I expected no less from a descendant of the exalt. You did well to notice me.		Grima
Chrom	Are you Robin from another world? No. You resemble Robin, but you’re not him. Who are you, then?
Does it matter? I come to you with a request. Will you hand the Fire Emblem you have over to me?		Grima
Chrom	What do you want with it?
I will eradicate it from this world. It is a barrier to my goal of bringing the world to silence.		Grima
Chrom	What do you mean by that?
The Fire Emblem inspires conflict. Because it exists, humanity has hope and resists despair. If they submit to the despair that I bring, conflict will never again arise in this world.		Grima
Chrom	The despair you bring? It can’t be... Are you Grima, the Fell Dragon?!
So insightful. Good. That makes this simpler. Now that you know, hurry up and give me the Fire Emblem.		Grima
Chrom	No! I will never enable a world in which humanity accepts despair!
Then I must resort to some slightly more...aggressive measures.		Grima
Chrom	What?! I...can’t...move!
I may not be able to take your life, but I can restrain you and take the Fire Emblem from you.		Grima
Chrom	I won’t...allow it. It’s...humanity’s hope... I won’t...give it to you...
I have no interest in your thoughts on this matter. Now, I’ll be taking that.		Grima
Medeus	That is as far as you go!
It looks like we got here just in time.		Tiki

Grima: Tyrant of Ruin - S

Tiki	Grima. There is no future for a world in which humanity gives in to despair. There is only annihilation. It is because of the hope in the world that life continues into the future.
Humans are fragile, but they refuse to give up. They will never lose hope. No matter what hardships they face, they always find hope and take a stand.		Medeus
Chrom	They speak the truth. I have heard of wars that consume the land in many worlds from Heroes that have come to Askr. In every instance despair flourished, and humanity nearly gave up. But, in the end, they always came together, gave each other hope, and overcame adversity. Fire Emblems, or something serving the same purpose, were at the center of it all in every instance.
Hmph...		Grima
Chrom	What you wish to destroy... What you truly fear is not the Fire Emblems. You fear the hearts of humankind, for they are unrelenting. You fear the hope they carry.
Hah! You claim I am afraid? This must be some kind of joke. I do not fear hope, and the future of despair cannot be changed. It will claim all without discrimination.		Grima
Chrom	I will never let that happen. Even if despair finds us, we will stand. No matter how many times it takes. We will connect the strands of hope through our bonds, change fate, and fight you! We will defeat despair!
Oh, how you howl your defiance. But, I will leave it at this for today. Soon, I will destroy the Fire Emblems in this world.		Grima
Chrom	Wait! Argh! He got away.
The Fell Dragon Grima is dangerous. Grima may understand the power of the Fire Emblems better than most, and thus obsesses over them.		Medeus
Tiki	We must protect them at all costs. For the sake of not only our world, but every world, as they all rely on Fire Emblems.
So many obstacles in my way, but there will be other opportunities to destroy the Fire Emblems. I exist in this land of Askr. Enjoy your fleeting moment of hope... For doing so will make the despair to come that much more devastating. Haha...hahahahaha...		Grima
