Ch20Ax

## World Map Text
After taking back Castle Edessa,
Roy turned his troops toward the ancient ruins
located on the outskirts of the town.
There is a high chance that a
Divine Weapon is hidden there.

## Intro 1
\g[Temple]
\f[#|Soldier]\m[6|5]\w[16]\f[#|Teck]
\s[#]
Lord Teck!|/n
The enemy is advancing!|

\s[#]
There is no need to panic.|/n
These ruins are surrounded by thick walls.|/n
They won't be able to come in so easily.|

\s[#]
But the enemy has defeated the Ilian/n
troops and our troops one after another!|/n
We do not have a high chance of winning...!|

\s[#]
We do not have to win.|/n
Lord Murdock said that all we must do/n
is defend this place.|/n
We must hold out until the enemy gives/n
up and leaves.|

## Scene 1
\g[Temple]
\f[#|Roy]\f[#|Zealot]
\s[#]
The Divine Weapon lies in here...|/n
Zealot, have you heard about this/n
place?|

\s[#]
Yes.I believe that the Maltet, the Spear of/n
Snow and Ice lies in these ruins.|

\s[#]
Spear of Snow and Ice...|

\s[#]
Barigan the 'Faithful' used it/n
during the Scouring.|

\s[#]
Barigan?|/n
All knights know about him.|/n
I used to hear a lot about him/n
during my studies.|/n
He is the finest example of knighthood.|/n
...This building seems to have walls/n
everywhere.|/n
Is there a path leading inside?|

\s[#]
Probably the remaining forces of Bern/n
buried the pathways to defend themselves.|

\s[#]
Then they must not have had much/n
time to do it...|/n
Maybe the walls are weak at certain/n
areas.|

\s[#]
That is quite possible.|

\s[#]
All right.|/n
Let's do what we can.|

## Vs Teck
\f[#|Teck]
\s[#]
No...|/n
I must be dreaming.|/n
How did you get/n
through those walls?|

## Teck Defeated
\f[#|Teck]
\s[#]
Pass, strong ones...|/n
And know Bern's/n
true power...|

## Outro 1
\g[Castle]
\f[#|Soldier]
\f[#|Roy]\w[16]
\f[#|Merlinus]
\s[#]
It's here!|/n
The spear is here!|

\s[#]
.....|/n
... This is Barigan's spear Maltet...|/n
It's beautiful, as if made of crystal/n
and ice.|

\s[#]
Master Roy,/n
Bern's troops are escaping.|

\s[#]
Oh.|/n
All right.|

\s[#]
All right?|?N
We must attack them now.|

\s[#]
No, don't.|/n
They are fleeing.|/n
They don't have any more will to fight.|

\s[#]
But...|

\s[#]
They have families as well.|/n
There's no need to fight more/n
than necessary.|

## Scene 2
\g[Castle]
\f[#|Roy]\w[16]
\f[#|Guinevere]
\s[#]
Princess Guinevere,/n
we will attack Bern now.|/n
So may I ask...|

\s[#]
... The rest of the story.|

\s[#]
King Zephiel was an outstanding pupil/n
in his studies, he was skilled in warcraft...|/n
He grew to be the perfect heir for the king.|

\s[#]
That is correct.|

\s[#]
But still the former king/n
did not look kindly at him.|

\s[#]
In fact...|/n
Our father began to hate Zephiel/n
because he grew to become such a/n
brilliant and worthy youth.|

\s[#]
What...|/n
is that supposed to mean...?|

\s[#]
Our father was a man of ordinary/n
skill and intellect.|/n
Therefore, Zephiel's outstanding skill/n
made our father cold towards him.|

\s[#]
Jealousy...?|

\s[#]
And then one day, our father/n
told Zephiel that 'the next heir to/n
Bern would be Guinevere's husband.'|/n

\s[#]
What?!|/n
That's awful!|

\s[#]
But Zephiel was very patient.|/n
He said that he did not mind even if/n
he did not gain the throne.|/n
But the people around us, who were/n
looking forward to Zephiel's ability/n
to be a good king, would not allow/n
anyone else to be the heir.|/n
Pressured by the public, our father/n
lost his patience at last, and...|

\s[#]
Decided to kill King Zephiel...|

\s[#]
At a banuet, our father gave Zephiel/n
a poisoned drink from his own hands.|/n
And that was the first and last cup/n
that Zephiel ever took from our father.|/n
After returning to his room, Zephiel/n
started to get sick.|/n
For 10 days and nights, Zephiel longered/n
between life and death.|/n
But Murdock, Zephiel's teacher and/n
loyal General, saved his life.|

\s[#]
... The former king never did/n
anything after that?|

\s[#]
No...|/n
But I have heard that he had plans/n
to get rid of Murdock and Zephiel's/n
mother as traitors.|/n
He was scheming to murder them all/n
along with Zephiel.|/n
After hearing that, Zephiel made/n
believe he was dead.|/n
Our father then checked the coffin to/n
confirm Zephiel's death.|/n
At that moment, Zephiel rose up from/n
the coffin and...with his sword...|

\s[#]
.....|

\s[#]
I was but a child then, so/n
naturally I could not have understood/n
what was going on. All I knew/n
is that after our father died, Zephiel/n
never smiled again. Until then, he was/n
strict at times, but he was always a kind/n
and loving brother to me. So...|

\s[#]
Princess...|

]s[#]
So I...from the bottom of my heart,/n
I felt that Zephiel can change, that he/n
can become that loving brother again. I.../n
had to take action.|

\s[#]
I...see...|

\s[#]
...But now, my brother is in a place/n
where my words cannot reach him.|/n
Roy, please... Please stop him.|/n
Please stop him from inflicting pain and/n
suffering to the people of Bern.../n
and the rest of Elibe.|

\s[#]
Evven if it may resolve to the blade?|

\s[#]
...I have made my resolve when/n
I entrusted this task to you.|

\s[#]
I see. You have my word and loyalty,/n
Princess GUinevere. I swear on the Fire/n
Emblem that I will stop King Zephiel!|
