Larcei	Askr is indeed a land in crisis. I see now that our assistance here is sorely needed. Wouldn't you agree, Shannan?
Shannan	I would. I believe our strength can make an important difference here.
Ced	It is fortuitous we find ourselves in Askr all at once. Princess Sharena, please consider us at your disposal.
Sharena	I'm so glad to hear that. Thank you!
Altena	I've heard that Prince Leif has been aiding you for some time. It would be an honor to join our efforts to his.
Larcei	You won't be disappointed! After all, we've got two divine weapons from the 12 Crusaders of Jugdral with us. Prince Shannan wields Balmung, and Lady Altena, Gáe Bolg. They're more than a match for any enemy!
Sharena	Those are some impressive names! They even SOUND strong.
Altena	...
Shannan	The weapon does not make the fighter, Larcei. You know that. A master swordsman has no reason to fear a legendary blade in the hands of a novice.
Larcei	Don't worry. I've taken your advice to heart, and I always stay on my toes.
Sharena	I'm looking forward to seeing both your skills and your weapons in action!

ラクチェ	なるほどね… アスク王国が直面している 危機のことはよくわかったわ。 わたしたちがやるべきことも。 そうですよね、シャナン様！
シャナン	そうだな…我々の力を必要とし 頼ってくれた想いには 応えなければなるまい。
セティ	これも人生という旅で出会った運命のひとつ。 いいでしょう、シャロン王女。 私も力添えさせて頂きます。
シャロン	本当ですか！？ ありがとうございます！
アルテナ	聞けば、リーフ王子たちも アスク王国に手を貸していると… ならば、私たちが断る道理はありません。
ラクチェ	任せてちょうだい！　それに、 シャナン様には神剣バルムンク、 アルテナ様には地槍ゲイボルグ… ユグドラル大陸に伝わる 十二聖戦士の神器まであるもの。 どんな敵が来ても負けないわ！
シャロン	おおーっ！　名前を聞いただけでも 「あっ、これスゴい武器だ！」っていう 説得力がありますね！
アルテナ	……
シャナン	ラクチェ、強力な武器があるからと言って それが強さにつながるとは限らない。 あくまでも、使い手の心がけ次第だ。 逆を言えば…強力な武器がなくとも 戦う者の心がけ次第で 限界を越えた力を発揮することができる。
ラクチェ	はい…！ 心に刻んでおきます。
シャロン	素敵な仲間が増えて心強いです！ 皆さんのご活躍、期待していますね！

Altena	Let's end our training there for today.
Sharena	Phew... That was intense! Thank you! Your lance skills are very impressive Altena. I learned a lot.
Larcei	Your strength rivals even that of Prince Shannan. I would expect no less from the wielder of Gáe Bolg.
Altena	If that's all, I will take my leave.
Sharena	She left in a hurry...and she looked distraught. Was it something we said?
Ced	It may be the tragedy of Gáe Bolg she is preoccupied with.
Sharena	What is the tragedy of Gáe Bolg?
Ced	An old Jugdral legend. Two of the 12 Crusaders who saved Jugdral were sibling lancers named Dáinn and Njörun. Dáinn wielded the heavenly Gungnir, while Njörun bore the earthly Gáe Bolg—the very lance Altena carries. It is said that Njörun killed a loved one with Gáe Bolg, and then took her own life. The lance has been rumored to bring disaster ever since.
Sharena	What an awful story. But it is just a legend, isn't it? Altena is more than well, isn't she?
Ced	At the moment, yes. But her father, Prince Quan, also wielded the Gáe Bolg...and, well... He had it when he was killed in front of his young daughter. And then the weapon fell into enemy hands.
Sharena	...

Shannan	Yes, I am familiar with the tragedy of Gáe Bolg. Why do you ask?
Larcei	I first thought to discard it as a myth, but the lives the lance has destroyed make that difficult to do. It's common to yearn for a powerful weapon. Less so to understand the burden of carrying one.
Shannan	Indeed. Balmung is no different from Gáe Bolg in that regard. I have faced much suffering to wield it.
Larcei	Could that suffering have been a test of your worth, somehow? A trial?
Shannan	Perhaps not literally, but I find it helpful to think of it that way. Balmung may be strong beyond compare, but to think only of its strength is to do it a disservice. The weapons of the Crusaders are more significant than that. Each bears the legacy of a person of conviction.
Larcei	You're saying the weapon carries the convictions of the Crusader who first wielded it?
Shannan	Yes. And its inheritor is obligated to carry those convictions forward. To put a stop to tragedy. To fight for a brighter future. That is the duty of anyone who wields Balmung.
Larcei	And that sentiment has a greater reach than any sword. I'm beginning to understand.
Shannan	Indeed. Whatever I do with the blade, its legacy will carry forward to the generation that comes after me. That is why I must live a life worthy of those who came before me. Only then can I pass Balmung on, in good conscience, to the person who will succeed me.
Larcei	Altena must feel the same way.
Shannan	Indeed, she must. But she also bears an additional weight. If there is anyone who can overcome the tragedy of Gáe Bolg, it is Altena.
Larcei	Yes! Agreed!

Larcei	I used to want nothing more than to have a legendary blade like Balmung. Now I'm not so sure. Prince Shannan helped me realize that carrying a divine weapon is a great burden. And a solemn duty. You must have the conviction to live up to the legacy of all those who wielded it before you.
Altena	Well said. I was not ignorant of that burden when I took up this lance. In the time since, however, I've come to understand just how daunting and lonesome an obligation it truly is. If my fate takes the shape of the tragedy of Gáe Bolg, it will be up to me alone to overcome it. And that tragedy is not the only weight I carry, either. I must also think of the wish for peace that the lance's first wielder, Njörun, so earnestly held.
Ced	True, but you are mistaken about one thing, Altena. You are not alone.
Shannan	He is right. No one cuts a path all on their own. We lean on each other.
Larcei	I'm sure Prince Leif would agree. And the people of Askr too!
Ced	It is possible, even working together, that we might fail. But even then, so long as we pass our convictions on...we will have the aid of those who succeed us also.
Altena	You're right. One day, the world will know peace, and divine weapons like the ones we bear can rest forever. Until then, let us continue forward on the path laid out before us.

Larcei	Got you now! Hyah!
Shannan	Hah—not quite.
Larcei	Ow! OK, you win... Ugh, how did you turn that back around on me? It's like you're in my head. I thought my timing was perfect, but you put me in my place with only one move...
Shannan	Your vigor, while commendable, makes you easy to read. Intensity alone will not win you many battles. Until you understand that, I fear you are not ready.
Larcei	Not ready?! I may have lost to you this time, but I can hold my own against anyone. I'm a full-fledged swordswoman—I've been through all the training!
Shannan	The battlefield does not respect what you've been through, Larcei. It only respects the immediate result.
Larcei	Fine. If that is how you feel, I will give you a better result. Let's have a rematch one week from now. And when I win, you will stop treating me like a child.
Shannan	Very well. But if you lose, you will continue to train without complaint until you are truly ready.
Larcei	Won't happen. See you in a week. Right, I can do this...can't I? I only need to beat him once. Then he'll have to recognize my skill and let me join the others in battle...

Larcei	I've only got a week to prepare for this rematch. I'd better train as hard as I can until then. Ugh, I don't even know where to begin...
Soleil	Hi there! You're the new girl from Jugdral, right? You look like you've got something on your mind. Want to talk about it? I'm Soleil, by the way. Maybe I can help!
Larcei	Nice to meet you, Soleil. I'm Larcei. I notice you're wearing a sword on your hip... It so happens I have a difficult bout coming up. I'm not sure how to go about preparing for it.
Soleil	No problem! I know a great place for you to find training partners. Come on—there's bound to be somebody who can help you!
Larcei	This place is amazing! Who knew there were so many other young ladies aspiring to be masters of the sword?
Soleil	Everyone, I'd like you to meet Larcei, from Jugdral! She's going to join us for training today.
Mia	Hi, Larcei! I'm Mia, from the Greil Mercenaries. Anyone looking to get stronger's OK by me!
Fir	I'm Fir. Nice to meet you.
Hana	And I'm Hana—a samurai of Hoshido. We're all friends here, so you can relax and focus on your technique.
Larcei	There is such a variety of styles represented here. I must say, I am a little overwhelmed. I am sure I would learn a lot. You are truly all right with me joining you?
Soleil	Of course! We welcome any girl who strives to be the best she can be. It helps that you're cute too!
Larcei	I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, but thank you. This may be my best hope for beating Shannan!

Soleil	Phew. How about a break? I'll get us something to drink.
Fir	Thank you for the training.
Larcei	Yes, thank you! This has been extremely helpful.
Hana	With every session like this, I feel one step closer to putting a certain perfectionist in his place.
Larcei	I am used to the familiarity of training with my twin brother. The diversity here has been eye-opening. This may yet give me the edge I need to catch up to Prince Shannan.
Mia	Trying to match a rival, Larcei?
Larcei	Something like that, yes. There is a gulf of skill between us now, but I hope someday to be his equal.
Mia	What will you do then?
Larcei	What will I...do? That's... and interesting question. I don't know. It feels like such a distant goal that I've never even considered what comes next.
Mia	Seems wasteful to me. Why tie your potential to his? Personally, I aim to push myself to My absolute limit. I want to reach for perfection!
Larcei	I hadn't thought of it that way.
Mia	Maybe your true goal will only reveal itself after you've surpassed this rival of yours. You've got to keep on challenging yourself, though. You don't want to get complacent!
Soleil	Absolutely right. You can't ever rest on your laurels. I mean, look at how many cute girls there are in Askr alone. And with limitless worlds come limitless cuties! Could you imagine if I contented myself with just a few of those girls? No way—I've got to meet them all!
Fir	That is, um...an interesting view...
Hana	Ha! Don't get greedy now, Soleil!
Larcei	Don't...get complacent. Right. That's an important lesson.

Larcei	Agh! So close... But I've lost again... Somehow your swordwork is even better than it was before. I thought for certain I could best you.
Shannan	You made a valiant effort. Had I not reconsidered my own technique, you may very well have won.
Larcei	As you said, however, what matters is the result. I will continue to train with you, as promised.
Shannan	In terms of raw strength and skill, Larcei, you are more than ready for the battlefield. What you need to temper now is your heart. You must study patience, resolve, and discipline. Hone those as well as you've honed your sword technique, and you will be a force to be reckoned with.
Larcei	I will! Someday, Prince Shannan, I will surpass even you. How's that for resolve?! See you in the next bout—and the bout after that! Farewell! ... Prince Shannan... You may be ahead of me for now, But I will not give up. Whatever it takes to become your equal, to best you in the end... Mark my words, I'll do it!

Anna	So, you want me to introduce you to other talented swordsmen?
Shannan	Precisely. No one is more familiar with the Heroes' skills than you. If possible, I'd like to meet someone whose style is truly unique.
Anna	A unique style... Sure, I can make that happen. In fact, I know just the right person. Come on—I think he's training in the eastern forest as we speak...
Shannan	You must be Owain, wielder of the blade Missiletainn. I am Shannan, of Isaach. It is an honor to...
Owain	Say no more. The raging spirit of your divine blade. That hungry gleam in your eye. I understand completely. You've come seeking an opponent worthy of your sword.
Shannan	Balmung has yet to leave its sheath, and already you see its nature. Commander Anna's praise was apt. I hope you are as powerful as you are perceptive.
Owain	Ha! Much more! If I could gaze into the depths of my own forbidden power, I would lose my mind! Only one living mortal can fathom what I am capable of...and only because he is so much like me.
Shannan	Honor me with a match, then?
Owain	If you still wish to face me, knowing what you know... Suit yourself, but I will hold nothing back.
Shannan	Nor I.
Owain	...
Shannan	...
Owain	Ugh! Ooooh! No... Come on... Not now...
Shannan	Are you unwell?
Owain	It's...Missiletainn... The dark power is...too much... If I draw this blade, I...won't be able to stop... I'll slay every Hero in the castle... Ugh!
Shannan	Take a moment. Settle yourself. Does your sword truly hold that kind of power?
Owain	Sorry, Shannan, but this match will have to wait until... Ngh! Be still now, sword hand! I cannot allow this blade to seize my destiny... Farewell, for now!
Shannan	... Power corrupts, as they say. If I fail to be cautious, that could just as well be me. I must be mindful not to let Balmung overmaster me in the same way...

Ryoma	Yes, I am Ryoma of Hoshido, wielder of Raijinto. I've heard you are the bearer of the divine blade, Balmung. I would consider it an honor to cross swords with you.
Shannan	You and your weapon seem to exist in perfect harmony. My search for the ideal opponent may be at an end.
Ryoma	On your guard, then! Hyah!
Shannan	That's enough... We'll call it a draw. It has been a long time indeed since I have faced such a worthy opponent.
Ryoma	The same to you. I have learned a great deal today.
Shannan	Raijinto is a sight to behold. With every strike, I could feel the sword's history and significance.
Ryoma	It's been an heirloom in Hoshido's royal family for generations. What you sensed was the will of my ancestors driving the blade. It is the same with Balmung, is it not?
Shannan	It is.
Ryoma	Raijinto was passed down to me by Sumeragi, Hoshido's previous king and my father. My inheritance is not merely the sword, but also his will within it.
Shannan	The sparks that issue forth from it are a manifestation of that will, it seems.
Ryoma	Yes. And because Raijinto carries this legacy, I must continually strive to be worthy of receiving it. For the sake of my siblings, and all those I seek to protect, my weapon and I must remain in harmony.
Shannan	I must say, Ryoma. I feel a certain kinship with you. I, too, have inherited a weapon with a significant legacy... Seeing as we have this in common, I would be much obliged if we could continue to practice together.
Ryoma	It would be my pleasure, Shannan.

We must develop our gifts, use them to protect the ones we care about, and pass that legacy on. For the sake of the next generation, let us all aspire to achieve the very height of swordsmanship...

Alfonse	The tale of your valor is well-known here in Askr, Ced. Unable to turn from those in need, you stood against a powerful foe. They call you the Hero on the Wind.
Ced	A lofty moniker that does not suit me. I am no hero.
Alfonse	From what I've heard of your deeds, you more than earned it.
Ced	I have earned no more than any of those who suffered in that tragedy. And if I had, I would discard it. A title like that is too heavy a burden.
Alfonse	...
Ced	It pains me to see the defenseless in anguish, but the truth is I am as helpless as anyone.

Ced: Hero on the Wind - B

English

Nameplate	Text
Ced	It is true that I once fought for the people of Munster. But that was more a matter of circumstance than anything else. Their plight was not what brought me there. I had only been searching for my missing father.
Alfonse	Are you suggesting that your heroic story was merely the result of a coincidence?
Ced	A true hero would have set out to end the Empire's oppression from the very beginning. If I had done that, then many children would have been saved from anguish and imprisonment. I failed them.
Alfonse	...
Ced	Heroes like Lord Seliph possess an unshakeable resolve to defend those who cannot defend themselves. Someone like that would have done right by those people from the start. Someone like you, Prince Alfonse. You have a far greater right to the title of hero than I ever will.
Alfonse	Nonsense. I have a long way to go. That is made clear to me each and every time I join the Heroes in battle. And that is also why I make it a point to study the examples of heroic individuals such as yourself.
Ced	...

Ced: Hero on the Wind - A

English

Ced	Your command of the battlefield is as strong as I have seen, Prince Alfonse. The way you took up the charge on the vanguard was inspiring. With your charisma and unshakable will, it is no wonder that so many follow you so devotedly.
Alfonse	It is more to their credit than mine. Any of the Heroes, including you, would have made the same choices in my position. My being in that position is largely a product of circumstances, just as it was with you. But it is the choices we make within our circumstances that matter most.
Ced	...
Alfonse	You could have fled, couldn't you? Taken the easy way out?
Ced	That is a fair point. Yes, I could have.
Alfonse	Yet you chose the difficult path, because you could not stand to see others suffer. That makes you a hero, Ced. At least as much as me.
Ced	On the contrary, it is you who ever works to lift up those around you. That is what heroes do. Within you, I see the same strength of character and leadership that I have seen in Lords Seliph and Leif. You shine hope, like a beacon, on all those around you.
Alfonse	As I've said, I have a long way to go. With each step along my path, I can only hope that I stumble occasionally into doing the right thing.
Ced	Even a stumble is a step forward. So long as you continue to press on... The wind will always find your back.

Ced	I cannot say that you have changed my mind about calling myself a hero, Prince Alfonse. However, I have come to believe that I may in fact have a use here. There are many threats facing Askr and its people. I would do what I can to help. If that means joining the Heroes, then I would be foolish not to do that.
Alfonse	I am happy to hear you say so.
Ced	I may be as helpless as anyone else, but I believe even the most ordinary person can find a path forward. I will walk my path carefully, without pride, as though treading on thin ice.
Alfonse	Once you set your mind to it, I have no doubt you will follow through. I am glad you have decided to lend Askr your strength.
Ced	I hope to make my presence in this world meaningful. We are not helpless to work together, and together I believe we will see a future that is free of war.

Fjorm	There you are, Princess Altena.
Altena	Hello, Princess Fjorm. What can I do for you?
Fjorm	Prince Quan is eager to meet and speak with you.
Altena	...
Fjorm	Apologies—that was tactless of me. You lost your father when you were very young, did you not? I meant to say that it would mean a great deal to him, I think, to see the person his daughter grew up to be.
Altena	Thank you, Princess Fjorm, but that will not be necessary. I have no intentions of meeting or speaking with Prince Quan.
Fjorm	Ah... May I ask why?
Altena	When I was summoned to this world, [Summoner] told me that I would have encounters like these. The Heroes I meet may seem familiar, but they are not necessarily from the same world as my own. Regardless of any resemblance, the Prince Quan in the castle hall is not my actual father. That is why I see no need to speak with him. Now, if you will excuse me... I have more training to do.
Fjorm	Princess Altena...
Fjorm	... How strange... She seemed happy to reunite with Leif and Finn, even though they too are from other worlds... Could there be another reason she does not wish to see him?

Fjorm	This tea is one of my favorites, Princess Altena. I hope you enjoy it.
Altena	Thank you, Princess Fjorm. I must say, to have tea with another princess is a pleasure I would not have experienced in Thracia.
Fjorm	Ah... Well, good...
Altena	Is something troubling you? Again, I am very sorry for my harsh response to you the other day.
Fjorm	No, please don't apologize. I admit I am curious, but you should not feel you have to discuss it with me.
Altena	You deserve to know the truth. My father, Prince Quan of Leonster, was a proud knight who aspired to unite the Thracian peninsula. The country of Thracia considered him a bitter enemy. He fell in battle against them.
Fjorm	I see...
Altena	I was too young to understand, but the Thracian army took me hostage to use as leverage against Leonster.
Fjorm	That's awful...
Altena	My father's elite fighting force, the Lanceritter, was annihilated. And my mother...she was killed as well. King Travant of Thracia pierced my father's heart with Gáe Bolg's divine counterpart, Gungnir. He took Gáe Bolg along with me, and raised me as if I were his daughter. It was more than a decade before I even began to suspect any different...

Altena	Forgive me, Princess Fjorm. This is not exactly pleasant conversation for tea time.
Fjorm	No—please don't apologize. I only wish that I knew what to say. Fate can be so frightfully cruel.
Altena	Travant took both my parents from me. Worse, he sought to destroy my home country. Nevertheless...from a very young age, I saw him work tirelessly to improve the lives of the people of Thracia. He was often portrayed as a heartless villain, but he was fully willing to sully his reputation to achieve his goals...
Fjorm	...
Altena	In my ignorance, I respected him. He cared for me as if I were his true daughter. Educated me. Trained me as a knight. I know now he was my enemy. I do despise him... But how can I face my birth father, after all of that?
Fjorm	I understand why you are uneasy. The truth would certainly be painful for him to learn. But these conflicting feelings of yours are all the more reason for you to meet Prince Quan! A daughter cannot be undeserving of a father, Princess Altena.
Altena	...
Fjorm	He must have thought of you and Prince Leif right to his last breath. And look what a lovely person you have grown up to be! Please... Prince Quan deserves to witness that, does he not?
Altena	With all due respect, Princess Fjorm... You are not what I expected royalty from a frozen country to be like. I thought your heart would be as cold as the land you come from. I see now it is the opposite. Since we've met, you have shown me nothing but warmth and kindness.
Fjorm	If anything, I have gotten too heated up over this. I am sincerely sorry.
Altena	Not at all. Perhaps a warm heart is needed to survive a cold, harsh land. By the same token, a gentle place can give rise to a stern soul. Perhaps that is what I saw when I looked up to Thracia's king...

Quan	Altena.. I am so proud of the person you have become.
Altena	Father... I...
Quan	You and Leif have both grown into good, strong people. To know that Ethlyn and I, in our lives in Jugdral, are the reason the two of you are here... That gives me great comfort.
Altena	It does?
Ethlyn	Yes, it does. That is why, come what may, we will always protect you.
Altena	Mother!
Ethlyn	I hope you are done hiding from us, my dear Altena. There is so much for us to talk about. I want to know all the little things. I want to worry that you're taking care of yourself, and eating right!
Altena	Mother, please! I was not hiding from you at all. It's just...
Ethlyn	I only had the opportunity to be your mother for a very short time, Altena. Please allow me to make up for lost time.
Altena	Yes... Yes, of course... Mother, Father, I swear this to you... I will do you proud. I will wield the Gáe Bolg with the honor it deserves. As your daughter, I will fight for our people. I will fight for peace!
