Chapter 6

## World Map
After taking Saul, a priest of the Elimine Church, and Dorothy, his bodyguard, into his ranks, Roy led his forces through the mountains into the territory of Thria, located just to the southeast of Ostia. Thria was governed by Lord Orun, a cousin to Lord Hector and known for his peaceful personality. Orun's home castle seemed to be a safe place for Roy to rest. However, Bern's malicious grip had extended to these lands as well...

I snuck in here no problem, but\n
there's nothing worth stealing!|\n
Hmm, looks like the north hall\n
has all the valuables,\b[2|2] but with\n
all of that security--|\m[2|2]\r[2]\b[2|0]\n
... Are those footsteps?|

I trust everything is under control?|

\s[2]
Yes, milord, the soldiers are\n
stationed all around the castle.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Good, good... Once they're inside\n
and have their guard down, ambush\n
them, just as I did with Lord Orun.|

\s[2]
Milord, if I may ask a question.|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
Eh? What is it?|

\s[2]
Why do you trust Bern won't just\n
turn on us and destroy us after\n
getting what they want?|

\s[5]
Trust? Don't be a fool. I don't trust\n
Bern, not for a second. But, I have\n
something they'll want dearly.|

\s[2]
You... do?|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Didn't you notice who arrived with Roy?\n
Having the princess in our possession will\n
force Bern to play by our - MY rules.|

\s[2]
Ah... I didn't consider that.|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
Now, I want Princess Guinivere alive.\n
The rest you can do with as you wish.|

to listen to my every command...|

Finally we can get a good\n
night's rest, Lord Roy!|

\s[2]\b[2|2]
I wonder...\b[2|0] That man said\n
he was Lord Orun's advisor...|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
Wagner? Did something seem wrong with him?|

\s[2]
He seemed to be in control of everything,\n
as if he were the lord of this territory...|\n
And Lord Orun is so ill he can't even\n
meet his guests? It all seems strange...|

Now that you mention it, you have a point.|

Excuse me, Lord Roy. There seem\n
to be an awful lot of soldiers\n
patrolling the castle.|

I think they're spying on us.|

What? No... You don't think--|

\s[3]
And...who might you be?|

\s[1]
Shucks, I'm not one to talk about myself.\n
Besides, I'm not the interesting one.|

\s[6]
What do you mean?|

\s[1]\e[1|0]
I overheard that Wagner guy in the\n
lower levels barking out orders. His\n
soldiers are gonna ambush you guys.|

\s[3]
What?! Lord Orun would never do that!|

\s[1]
Oh, right... Yeah, he's dead, I think.\n
Wagner assassinated him or something.|

\s[3]
What?!|

\s[5]
What a fiend!|

\s[1]
He wants to capture you all and\n
turn you over to Bern. Or maybe\n
just someone named Guinivere?|

This is crazy...|

It's up to you whether\n
you trust me or not.\b[1|0]\e[1|1]\n
But don't say I didn't warn ya!|

\f[6|Guinivere]
\s[6]
Roy... If what she says is true...|

\s[3]\r[3]
Let's spring his trap. We'll pretend\n
like we're leaving. If Wagner is after\n
us, he'll try to persuade us to stay.|

\s[1]\e[1|0]
If you ask me,\r[3] the best way outta\n
here is through the north hall!|\n
That'll bring you to the courtyard,\n
so you'll be outta here in no time.\e[1|1]\n
Good luck!|

\s[5]
Oh, Lord Roy! Where are you off\n
to? I will escort you back into\n
the castle, so please follow me.|

\s[2]
My apologies, Sir Wagner.\n
I have just received a\n
report of grave importance.|

\s[1]
Please excuse us, but we\n
must take our leave now.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Surely you would appreciate a\n
warm bed after being in the\n
field for so long.|\n
Lord Orun would be furious\n
with me if you left without\n
accepting our hospitality.|

\s[2]
Don't worry, I shall tell Lord Orun\n
myself that you are not to blame.|\b[2|2]\n
I ought to at least offer\n
him a greeting anyway.\b[2|0]\n
Please, show us to his room.|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
As I said, milord, Lord Orun is\n
ill and cannot accept guests.|

\s[1]
Master Roy, if we cannot see\n
him, then we must be off.|

\s[2]
Indeed. If you will excuse us--|

\s[5]
There's nothing I can\n
offer to make you stay?|

\s[2]
... We need to be going...|

\s[5]\e[5|2]
You leave me no choice then!|

leave Princess Guinivere alive!|

Damn! The girl was right!\n
They were trying to ambush us!|

\s[6]
Lord Roy! If we go this way,\n
we'll be leaving our rear\n
open to attack!|

\s[2]
Then we'll seize the whole castle!|

\s[5]
Leave that Wagner to me... I will not\n
tolerate those who would dare lay\n
a hand on the Princess! Disgraceful!|

\s[6]\b[6|1]
... Riiiiiight.|

Er... I appreciate the enthusiasm.\n
Now, everyone; follow my lead!|

\s[5]
Lord Roy, a moment?|

\s[2]
I assure you, Saul, Princess\n
Guinivere will be looked after--|

\s[5]\m[5|5]\e[5|2]
Gah! Stop listening to Dorothy,\n
she doesn't understand my work!|\e[5|0]\n
Anyway, that isn't what I came\n
to speak to you about.|

\s[2]
Oh... Sorry about that.|

\s[5]
I'm not sure how much experience you\n
have with fighting with or against\n
magic wielders, but Wagner is different.|\n
He is a sorcerer - a dark mage. The\n
magic you've seen until now is most\n
likely Nature or Anima magic, right?|

\s[2]
Fire, Thunder, and Wind magic, yes.|

\s[5]
Magic, similar to weapons, have\n
relations with each other. It's\n
referred to as the Trinity of Magic.|

\s[2]
Ah, so each type has a weakness and\n
a type they have an advantage over.|

\s[5]
Smart, you must have had a good teacher.|\n
Light magic, or Holy magic is what\n
I specialize in. It can make short\n
work of any who practice the dark arts.|

\s[2]
Oh, so you really meant what you\n
said earlier then. Leave him to you.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Exactly. I'll show you my strengths.|

Let go of my arm!\n
Ow! That hurts!|

\s[3]\m[3|3]
Oh, I'm sorry. But, what\n
are you doing here?|

\s[6]\e[6|0]
Well, uh, you know, this and\n
that.\e[6|1] I'm a busy girl. Ha ha ha...|

\s[3]
Here? In a battlefield?|

\s[6]\b[6|2]
Oh yes, precisely BECAUSE\n
this is a battlefield--\b[6|0]\m[6|6]\n
Whoops, better watch my tongue...|

\s[3]
Do you have some ulterior motive?|

\s[6]
Uh...|

\s[3]
Wait, is that why you\n
told us the escape route?|

\s[6]\e[6|0]
Um, what? Sorry, I'm a\n
little deaf in this ear!|

\s[3]
... Just who are you?|

Don't worry about it!\n
Forget you saw me.\e[6|1]\n
Gotta go. Cheers!|

Who are you?|

What's a girl doing in here?|

\s[1]
You aren't with the castle?|

\s[5]
My name is Roy. Who are you?|

\s[1]
I am Sue. Are you the one\n
causing that noise outside?|

\s[5]
Noise?|

\s[1]
The noise of battle.|

\s[5]
Oh, I guess so. We're fighting\n
the castle guards. It's a\n
bit of a long story...|
\s[-2]

\m[1|2]\w[5]
\s[2]
I see. Then I will join your side.|

\s[5]
Wait what? You will? Why?|

\s[2]
The soldiers of this castle\n
have done me wrong. They will\n
regret their decisions.|

\s[5]
What? What do you mean...?|

\s[2]
Please, give me a bow. I\n
will fight with you.|

## Vs Wagner
\f[1|Wagner]
\s[1]
Useless guards! But very well.\n
Witness my magic... and bow\n
down before its power!|

## Saul vs Wagner
\f[1|Wagner]\f[6|Saul]
\s[1]
If it isn't the Elimine church.\n
How loathsome that you dare\n
interject in my plans.|

\s[6]\e[6|2]
Silence, you fiend! Those like\n
you with black hearts have no\n
place in this world! Begone!|

\s[1]\e[1|1]
Is that all you are, priest?\n
Vacuous words dying in the wind?|

\s[6]
I assure you, Saint Elimine's\n
divine light is no laughing matter.|

\s[1]\e[1|0]
Try me! Darkness shall blot\n
out the sun's miserable light!|

## Sue vs Wagner
\f[1|Wagner]\f[6|Sue]
\s[1]
Wait, you--|

\s[6]
No words. You will die. Now.|

\s[1]
What?! How did you get out--|

## Wagner Defeated
\f[1|Wagner]
N-no... My plan...\n
was flawless...|

## Sue Recruited
\g[Castle]
\f[2|Roy]\f[5|Sue]
\s[2]
...You're the granddaughter of\n
one of the chieftains in Sacae?|

\s[5]
My grandfather is the strongest\n
warrior in all of Sacae. People\n
call him the Silver Wolf.|

\s[2]\b[2|2]
The Silver Wolf...\b[2|0]\n
I've heard tales of him.|\n
But, what are you doing\n
in Lycia? This is a long\n
way from Sacae.|
\s[-2]

\event

\s[5]
Bern invaded Sacae, so the Kutolah clan\n
decided to take up arms. Grandfather had\n
the women and children escape to Lycia, but...|

\s[2]
Something went wrong?|

\s[5]
There was a traitor... Monke.\n
His entire clan, the Djute,\n
turned to Bern's side, ambushed us.|

\s[2]
... ... ...|

\s[5]\b[5|2]
We were all separated.\b[5|0] I\n
found my way into this land\n
and I was rescued by Lord Orun.|\n
But Wagner, his advisor, assassinated\n
Lord Orun and took over the castle,\n
locking me away in that room.|\n
I am unaware of his plans for me,\n
but I am certain it involves Bern.|

\s[2]
And that's when you were captured...|

\s[5]
You defeated Wagner. Is\n
your army fighting Bern too?|

\s[2]
Yes, we will fight for\n
as long as it takes.|

\s[5]
Then let me join you. Fighting Bern\n
may lead me to Grandfather.\e[5|2] Lord\n
Orun deserves vengeance as well.|

\s[2]
We're headed for Ostia, in the west.\e[5|0]\n
Sacae is in the east, the opposite\n
direction. Is that all right?|

\s[5]
It matters not to me. Wherever\n
we are, Mother Earth and Father\n
Sky will watch over me.|

\f[2|Roy]
\s[5]
Lord Roy! The spy I sent to Ostia\n
has just returned. He says that\n
the city is in a state of anarchy!|

\s[2]
What?! Why?|

\s[5]
There's been a rebellion among those\n
who want to surrender to Bern.|

\s[2]
What about Lilina? Is she okay?|

\s[5]
The spy says that she has been taken\n
hostage, but left relatively unharmed.|\n
The rebels already took over Castle Ostia\n
and are fighting the those still loyal.|

\s[2]
We must hurry to Ostia!|

\s[5]
At once!|
\s[-2]

\f[5|nil]

\s[2]\b[2|2]
Lilina... Please be safe!\b[2|0]\n
I'll be there in no time!|
