- Siegbert: [smile] -v-e-r-e… perfect.
- Odin: [smile] Such magnificent heraldry and flawless script – what wondrous map are you charting, son?
- Siegbert: [smile] Actually, you’re just in time to help me.
- Siegbert: [sweat] If it isn’t too much trouble, of course.
- Odin: Not at all! What am I helping with?
- Siegbert: This is a family history. This page here traces Father’s mother, Lady Katerina…
- Siegbert: …and overleaf here is Grandfather’s lineage.
- Siegbert: But I realised I know so little of your heritage, your homeland.
- Odin: [sweat] Ah. Yes.
- Siegbert: [sad] If speaking of it would make you too sad…
- Odin: [smile, sweat] Of course not! Now, where to begin…
- Odin: Of course! I should begin where I first began – with my mother!
- Odin: She was a holy woman of peerless resolve. She would stop at nothing to protect those she loved.
- Odin: She wielded a magical axe in battle, and fought fearlessly on the front lines.
- Odin: [sad] She was kind, funny… truly a remarkable woman. Oh, and her name was Lissa!
- Siegbert: …’Was’?
- Odin: [injured] Yes, she- she died.
- Siegbert: [sad] I’m sorry.
- Odin: [wink] Don’t dwell on it! She certainly wouldn’t want us to!
- Odin: Now, she had friends in every land, but one of her closest friends was a fellow healer named Maribelle, and…

- Odin: [smile] So, what new tasks does the family history hold for us today?
- Siegbert: Well, we have your immediate family, but I remember you telling me about Aunt Lucina when I was young.
- Odin: Oh, of course! Why, it was she who stoked my love of the legendary!
- Odin: [sweat] (Although she said she regretted that a few times.)
- Odin: [smile] Her father, Chrom, was my mother’s older brother, so we grew up thick as thieves.
- Odin: We learned books and blades together, and when the time came, there was no-one I would have rather followed into battle.
- Siegbert: Who were you fighting?
- Odin: [surprised] Ah…
- Odin: [injured] It wasn’t a who, but a what.
- Odin: They were creatures similar to Faceless. We called them Risen.
- Odin: …They killed everyone. Things like nations and flags didn’t matter to them.
- Siegbert: [sad] Were they the ones who killed…
- Odin: [upset] Yes. Mother- she was protecting us. There was a sudden ambush, and she…
- Siegbert: [sad] Oh, Father…
- Odin: [eyes closed] …
- Odin: [wink] My apologies! We were supposed to be talking about the heroic exploits deep in the roots of your family tree, and I haven’t even mentioned your great-aunt yet!
- Odin: I never had the privilege of meeting Aunt Emmeryn, but she was known across the land for her wisdom, and…
- A-support
- Siegbert: [frown] …This is more difficult than I’d thought.
- [Odin appears]
- Odin: [surprised] What spectacular axe is this?
- Siegbert: It’s supposed to be Grandfather’s Bolverk. Aunt Camilla told me about it, but I couldn’t find any pictures…
- Odin: [wink] It looks legendary! Are those waves of power emanating forth from it?
- Siegbert: [smile] Of course! Just how you taught me.
- Odin: Fantastic.
- Odin: Now, what’s next in your history? We’ve exhausted my branch of the family tree.
- Siegbert: [smile] Not quite.
- Odin: Oh? Have you discovered a secret sibling, unbeknownst even to me?
- Siegbert: [smile] No. You’ve barely said anything of your exploits, Father!
- Siegbert: Don’t think I don’t remember the stories you used to tell me as a child. You’ve had enough legendary battles to fill a whole book by yourself!
- Odin: [surprised] Siegbert…
- Siegbert: Tell me again about your grand battle on the bridge! Or the great siege!
- Siegbert: And did you really get into a fight at a hot spring?
- Odin: Is- is all of that truly worth recording, alongside the rest of our family’s storied deeds?
- Siegbert: Of course! I’ve already reserved four pages just for the tale of Mystlemainn!
- Odin: [smile, blush] You truly are the best son a father could ask for…
