Chapter 14

## World Map Text
After rescuing Guinevere and Cecilia, Roy
headed towards the Nabata desert, following
Sophia's lead.
According to Sophia, there was a
hidden oasis in the desert,
and that's where her village, Arcadia,
was located.
However, at the time, Arcadia was
under attack by Bern's forces.
Their aim may be the Dragons
that are said to inhabit the village.
Although the Lycia Alliance Army moved
as quickly as they could towards Arcadia,
a vicious sandstorm stood in their way.

## Intro 1
\g[Altar]
\f[1|Igrene]\m[1|3]\w[8]\m[3|4]\w[16]\r[4]\w[8]
\s[4]
Hurry, Fae! If you follow this\n
path, there is a place to hide.\n
Can you make it there?|
\s[-2]

\f[1|Fae]\b[1|1]
\s[1]
But... \[m1|1]\b[1|0]Fae's tired!|

\s[4]
Don't be stubborn.\n
Now go, or else Bern's\n
soldiers might find us.|

\s[1]
What about Sophia?|

\s[4]\b[4|2]
I don't know...\b[4|0]\n
Maybe she was caught by\n
Bern's troops.|

\s[1]
If we get caught by Bern, then\n
can we see the outside world?|

\s[4]
Fae, no. The elder said\n
that we mustn't communicate\n
with the outside world.|

\s[1]
Aw... Please?|

\s[4]
No.|
...But I wonder how Bern found\n
out about our village...|\b[4|2]\n
Perhaps it has something to do with\n
the ominous 'force' that Sophia said\n
she detected from the soldiers...|

\s[1]
What's wrong?|

\s[4]\b[4|0]
I shouldn't be thinking about such\n
matters now! Fae! Over here, hurry!|
\s[-2]

\f[4|nil]\w[8]

\m[1|2]\w[16]

\s[2]
... Fae wants to see\n
outside world too.|
\s[-2]

## Intro 2
\g[Castle]
\f[2|Zeiss]\f[5|Randy]
\s[5]
Zeiss! Hasn't General Narcian arrived yet?|

\s[2]
A band of mercenaries and some Dragons\n
have arrived as reinforcements, but General/n
Narcian's group hasn't arrived yet.|

\s[5]\e[5|2]
What is he doing? He must know it's\n
impossible to take over the village\n
with such a small army like this...|

\s[2]
... I don't know, myself.|

\s[5]\e[5|0]
Bah, sorry. It's not your fault.|\n
Anyway, we must inform the King\n
about the Dragons that live here.|\n
Zeiss, I want you to go to Aquleia\n
and report to King Zephiel.|

\s[2]
What do you want me to say?|

\s[5]
Tell him Dragons do indeed inhabit this village.|\n
According to a captive, there are also signs of\n
'Divine Dragons,' the most powerful even among Dragons.|

\s[2]
Yes sir.|

\s[5]
Make it quick.|
\s[-2]

## Scene 1
\g[Desert]
\f[2|Sophia]\f[5|Roy] \f[6|Cecilia]
\s[6]
This is some sandstorm.|

\s[2]
Yes... this sandstorm has always\n
protected our village from intruders.|

\s[5]
Well, it must be a pain trying\n
to look for a village in this mess.|\n
I can't see three meters ahead...|

\s[6]
So, in which direction do we move?|

\s[2]
Yes... Head to the Northeast...|
\s[-2]

\f[5|nil]\f[6|nil]

\s[2]
But...|
\s[-2]

\w[16]
\f[5|Roy]

\s[5]
But?|

\s[2]
There may be many things hidden in the\n
sand, blown around by the sandstorm...\n
Please be careful where you step.|

\s[5]
Like... Artifacts and weapons?|

\s[2]
Yes. If you have any in your\n
army with sharp eyes, they should\n
be able to detect them easily.|

\s[5]
Hmm... Thank you.|
\s[-2]

## Geese Scene
\g[Desert]
\f[2|Geese]
\s[2]
What the hell is this? I thought\n
we'd be stomping around the isles...\n
There's not a drop of water in sight!|
\s[-2]

\m[2|3]\w[8]

\s[3]
Wait, is that a lake right there?\e[3|1]\n
Perfect! I was parched, I could--|
\s[-2]

\m[3|3]\e[3|0]
\s[3]
W-what!? I could've sworn... there\n
was water... right there...|
\s[-2]

## Sophia Scene
\g[Desert]
\f[2|Sophia]\m[2|3]\wp5]
\s[3]
Something... is glittering in the sand...|
\s[-2]

\m[3|3]\w[16]
\s[3]\e[3|1]
Oh... A beautiful ring...|
\s[-2]

## House W
\g[House]
\f[2|Visitor]\f[5|Villager_BarmaidF]
\s[5]
There are a lot of things buried\n
in the sand around here.|\n
If you're really lucky, you might\n
find something really useful. Try\n
looking around the bones.|
\s[-2]

## House E
\g[House]
\f[5|Visitor]\f[2|Villager_CraftsmanM]
\s[2]
Have you heard of the sky god, Delphi?|\n
He is an ancient god said to race\n
through the vast sky and protect\n
all living things.|\n
They say that with his blessing,\n
wyverns and pegasi can fly freely\n
without danger...|\n
Certainly seems like something\n
you'd want to get your hands on...|
\s[-2]

## Scene 1 - Turn 7
\g[Desert]
\f[2|Maggie]\f[5|Rose]
\s[5]
Maggie,\w[5] my dear,\w[5] did we not see someone\n
head towards the middle of the desert?|

\s[2]
Yes,\w[5] Rose,\w[5] you are most correct.|
\s[-2]

\m[5|4]\e[4|1]\w[4]
\s[4]
Then,\w[5] Maggie,\w[5] it must be true that\n
there is a hidden village around here.|
\s[-2]

\m[2|3]\w[5]\s[3]\e[3|1]
Bless my soul,\w[5] Rose!\w[20]\n
I believe you are correct.|
\s[-2]

\m[4|5]\r[5]\e[5|0]\b[5|2]\w[5]
\s[5]
But,\w[5] my dear Maggie,\w[5] we don't want\n
to get lost in the sandstorm,\w[5] do we?|
\s[-2]

\m[3|2]\e[2|0]
\s[2]
Of course not,\w[5] Rose.|\n
Then we wouldn't be able\n
to find our way home.|

\r[5]
\s[5]\b[5|0]
Well then,\w[5] Maggie,\w[5] do you think we\n
should pass up the hidden village?|

\s[2]\m[2|2]
My dear Rose,\w[5] you forget there\n
are rumors of vast treasures\n
hidden in this secret village.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
Well,\w[5] we certainly don't want to\n
miss that,\w[5] do we Maggie?|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Of course,\w[5] Rose.\w[15] We can make a\n
lot more money through that than\n
by mugging wary travelers.|
\s[-2]

\m[5|6]\w[5]
\s[6]\e[6|2]
But,\w[5] we don't want to get lost\n
either,\w[5] do we,\w[5] Maggie?|

\s[2]
My dear Rose,\w[5] I have an idea.\w[15]\n
We may follow the peopel we saw\n
heading into the desert earlier.|

\s[6]\e[6|1]
That's a wonderful idea,\w[5] Maggie!\w[20] And\n
once we reach the village,\w[5] we can\n
thank them by smashing their heads in.|
\s[-2]

\m[2|3]\w[5]
\s[3]
Of course,\w[5] my dear Rose.\w[15]\n
That's only fair,\w[5] isn't it?|

\s[6]
Well then,\w[5] Maggie,\w[5] shall we dance?|
\s[-2]

\m[6|6]\m[3|3]\w[8]\m[6|3]\w[8]\r[3]\r[6]
\s[6]
Why certainly,\w[5] my dear Rose.|

\s[3]
Certainly,\w[5] my dear Maggie.|

\f[5|BrigandM-0]\fc[5|Bandit]\name[5|Brigand]
\s[2]
Finally.\w[15] I thought they'd never shut up.|

\s[5]
We need a new line of work...|
\s[-2]

## Scene 1
\g[Desert]
\f[5|Roy]\f[2|Merlinus]
\s[5]
The sandstorm... it stopped.|

\s[2]
This is our chance, Master Roy!\n
We can see the village clearly now!|

\s[5]
But so can the enemy.\n
We have to hurry!|
\s[-2]

## Randy Scene
\g[Gateway]
\f[5|Randy]\w[8]
\f[2|SoldierM-1]\fc[2|Bern]\name[5|Soldier]
\s[2]
Sir Randy! We finished\n
searching for the village.|

\s[5]
And? Did you find any signs\n
of a Divine Weapon anywhere?|

\s[2]
No... But, we made sure to destroy\n
any passages that might lead there.|

\s[5]\b[5|2]
That'll have to do...|\b[5|0]\n
Now, all we have to do is\n
stop the Alliance Army.|
\s[-2]

## Vs Rose
\f[1|Rose]
\s[1]\e[1|1]
Maggie, my dear! Watch in awe!\n
I'll smash them with one strike!|
\s[-2]

## Astolfo vs Rose
\f[1|Rose]\f[6|Astolfo]\e[6|2]
\s[1]\e[1|1]
Why, look at you! Such\n
a scrumptious morsel!\n
I'm going to have fun!|

\s[6]
Shut your mouth. Bandit scum\n
like you deserve to be face down.|

\s[1]
Ooh! Is that a threat? By all means,\n
little man, do your damnedest!|
\s[-2]

## Rose Defeated
\f[1|Rose]
\s[1]
Bless my soul, Rose...\n
It hurts, does it not?|
\s[-2]

## Vs Maggie
\f[1|Rose]
\s[1]\e[1|1]
Rose, darling! Watch how they\n
crumble to my thunderous might!|
\s[-2]

## Astolfo vs Maggie
\f[1|Maggie]\f[6|Astolfo]\e[6|2]
\s[1]\e[1|1]
Oh, look! Why, don't you look\n
familiar! Have we met, handsome?|

\s[6]
No.|

\s[1]
That grimace says otherwise!\n
Hmm... I wonder... are you--|

\s[6]
You're not going to\n
finish that thought.|
\s[-2]

## Maggie Defeated
\f[1|Maggie]
\s[1]
Bless my soul, Maggie...\n
It hurts, does it not?|
\s[-2]

## Vs Randy
\f[1|Randy]
\s[1]
My sword is invincible. Now,\n
choose your death. By the\n
blade... or by its light?|
\s[-2]

## Echidna vs Randy
\f[1|Randy]\f[6|Echidna]
\s[1]
You look strong... Looking for\n
a new place of employment?|\n
I've got a guild that could use--|

\s[6]
Sorry, not interested.|

\s[1]
Ah well, shame. Let's see\n
if that axe at your belt\n
is for show or now.|

\s[6]
I assure you, this is your end.|
\s[-2]

## Fir vs Randy
\f[1|Randy]\f[6|Fir]
\s[1]
Hold on! That sword...\n
It isn't possible...|

\s[6]
Huh?|

\s[1]
... Nevermind, my eyes\n
must be playing tricks\n
on me in this weather.|\n
There's no way you're the\n
legendary Sword Saint.|

\s[6]
... No, not yet. But I plan to be!|
\s[-2]

## Randy Defeated
\f[1|Randy]
\s[1]
I am glad... that I could\n
meet one as strong as you...\n
before my death.|
\s[-2]

## Outro 1
\g[Castle]
\f[5|Roy]\w[16]
\f[2|Sophia]
\s[5]
He was a tough opponent...\n
but we managed to win.|\n
Sophia, where are the\n
inhabitants of the village?|

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

\s[5]
What's wrong?|

\s[2]
... The entrance to the temple...|
\s[-2]

\m[5|4]\w[5]

\s[4]
This door... It looks like\n
it has been forced open.\n
What lies inside this temple?|

\s[2]\r[2]
There is something we call\n
the Divine Weapon...\n
It is a spell book.|

\s[4]\m[4|4]
A Divine Weapon!? There\n
was one here, too?!|
\s[-2]

\m[4|4]\s[4]
... Then that must be\n
what Bern was after!|\n
They have been trying to collect\n
them just like us... In that\b[4|2]\n
case, we may be too late...|

\s[2]
... The Divine Weapon is still here....|

\s[4]\b[4|0]
What? How do you know? The door--|

\s[2]
... If the weapon was missing,\n
the sandstorm would have let up.|\n
It is tied to the Divine Weapon's\n
power. As long as the storm rages,\n
the Divine Weapon is safe and sound.|

\s[4]
All right! Let's go!\n
We may still be able\n
to stop Bern--|
\s[-2]

\f[6|Merlinus]
\s[6]
Master Roy! There is someone\n
who wants to speak with you.|

\r[4]
\s[4]
Oh... But, the Divine Weapon--|

\s[2]
... I will be waiting here.\r[4]\n
Go, handle what you must.|
\s[-2]


## Outro 2
\g[Chamber]
\f[2|Roy]\f[5|Villager_PurveyorF]\name[5|Elder]\f[1|Merlinus]
\s[5]
Who are you? How did you enter?|

\s[2]
My name is Roy. I came with\n
Sophia to protect this village.|

\s[5]
With Sophia...? Then it was you\n
who drove off Bern's soldiers?|

\s[1]
Indeed.|

\s[5]
Oh... Please, forgive my impudence.\n
I am the Elder of Arcadia.|

\s[2]
Elder... Then you are the Dragon?|

\s[5]\e[5|1]\b[5|2]
Dragon... They once called me that.|\b[5|0]\e[5|0]\n
But, that is a story of a time long\n
since past. I am not who you seek.|

\s[1]
Then who...?|

\s[5]
Let me see... The only real Dragon/n
we have is Fae right here.|
\s[-2]

\r[5]\s[5]
Come out, Child. It's all right.|
\s[-2]

\r[5]w[8]\f[6|Fae]
\s[6]
Hi...|

\s[1]
This little girl is a Dragon?|

\s[5]
Yes, although she is\n
far from the mature form.|

\s[6]
But I'll grow up!|

\s[2]
Elder, do you know anything\n
about the Dragons in Bern?|

\s[5]\m[5|5]
What!? There are Dragons in Bern?|

\s[1]
Yes, we have seen them.|

\s[5]\b[5|2]
Why...? Dragons do not exist\n
anywhere except here.|

\s[6]
Friends! I wanna see them!|

\s[2]
No, Fae, these Dragons are not...\n
They're not very nice.|

\s[6]
Oh. That's no fun.|
\s[-2]

\f[6|nil]
\w[16]

\f[6|Igrene]
\s[6]
Elder, if I may.|

\s[5]\b[5|0]
What is it, Igrene?|

\s[6]
Sophia said that she could detect an\n
evil force coming from Bern's troops.|\n
That may have something to do with the\n
Dragons Roy says he saw in Bern's army.|

\s[5]
Perhaps... But I am too old\n
to detect such force now.|

\s[2]
'Force'? What is that?|

\s[5]
Sophia is half dragon, half human.|\n
That gives her the ability to detect\n
the pulses emitted from other Dragons.|\n
But because she cannot detect them\n
clearly, she only said that she felt\n
a force... twisted and unnatural.|

\s[6]
I think that you should look into it.|\n
Elder, if you would allow it, I\n
would like to ask to join Roy\n
and look into Bern for myself.|

\s[5]\b[5|2]
I really do not want to deal\n
with the matters of the outside...|\b[5|0]\n
But this is a time of emergency.\n
Well then Roy, will you take her?|

\s[2]
Certainly.|

\s[6]
I am Igrene, the Guardian of Nabata.|\n
I have confidence in my skills with\n
the bow and the lance. I believe I\n
may be of some help in battle.|\n
I'll make myself scarce and scout\n
the lands back to the main land.|

\s[2]
Thank you.|

Of course you many not.|\n
There is no telling what could\n
happen if your existence were\n
exposed to the world!|
