 Sharena |
...And that's the tour of the castle! If you have any questions, just ask! |
 Nagi |
Thank you, Princess Sharena... |
 Norne |
I can hardly believe we were shown around the castle by the princess herself... I feel like I should apologize! |
Sharena |
Not at all! We're counting on all you Heroes to help us, after all! Showing you around the castle is the least I can do! |
 Sirius |
If it is our purpose, I, for one, will focus all my effort on restoring peace to Askr. |
Sharena |
Well, I'm happy to hear it! Now I have some other things to take care of, but I'll see you all later! |
 Phina |
... |
Nagi |
Is something...wrong, Phina? |
Phina |
Hm? Oh, I'm just a bit in awe after seeing so many Heroes as we toured the castle halls! |
Norne |
Same here! There were Heroes so famous, I already knew their names! ...And quite a few of them too! |
Phina |
The Order of Heroes is made up of such extraordinary people... We'll have to try really hard to stand out! |
Nagi |
Stand...out? Where must we stand? |
Phina |
I mean we need to be useful, or we might be overlooked compared to all the great Heroes already here! |
Norne |
B-but...what can we do to be useful when everyone here is already so willing and able?! |
Phina |
If you ask me...we should focus on what's important: looking good! Good fashion sense will make us shine! If we can draw everyone's eyes, there's NO WAY we'll be overlooked! |
Sirius |
We were called here to risk our lives on the battlefield. We have little time to worry about our appearance... |
Phina |
Is that so, Sirius? Why the mask then? Is it not to look...FASHIONABLE? |
Sirius |
...No. This mask serves a much more consequential purpose. |
Phina |
Sirius, didn't you say you want to lend Prince Marth your strength? If you never get deployed, you won't be able to help Prince Marth when he needs you the most, right? |
Sirius |
... |
Nagi |
I...do not understand this...fashion. But...if it can deepen our bonds with others, so we might aid them... |
Phina |
All right, then it's decided! Since we were all brought here together, let's all work together! And so...let Operation: Time to Shine begin! Let's all do our best to stand out so we're not overlooked! |
Norne |
Hmm... I'm not so sure about this... |

フィーナ |
この場合は、私たちの出番がなくなる 可能性があるってことね。 |
ノルン |
で、でも、目立つって言っても… 具体的にどうやるの？ |
フィーナ |
それはね…ズバリ、オシャレよ！ 服やアクセサリーのセンスを磨いて、 バーンと目立つの！ みんなの注目を集めることができれば ヴァイス・ブレイヴの中で私たちの 存在感をアピールできるはずよ！ |

シリウス |
…いや、この仮面には、 やむにやまれぬ事情が… |
フィーナ |
シリウスさん、以前に マルス王子の力になりたいって 言っていたわよね？ でも、出撃する機会がなかったら マルス王子が助けを必要としているときに 力添えできない可能性もあるわよ？ |
シリウス |
…… |
ナギ |
わたしは…知らない。 あなたのいう… オシャレというもののことを…… でも、 みなと絆を深め、親しむことが できるのなら… |
フィーナ |
よーし、決まりね！ 同じタイミングで この世界に呼ばれたもの同士、 ここは協力しましょう！ それじゃ、オシャレ大作戦開始ね！ 出撃する機会をふやすため、目立って 存在感をアピールするわよ！ |

Hmm... I thought she said we'd meet around here, but... |
 Fjorm |
Oh! Olivia! What brings you here? |
Olivia |
Oh, hello, Princess Fjorm... Phina asked me to meet her here, but...I haven't seen her. |
Fjorm |
Oh, she did? Interesting. She invited me here as well... She said she needed my help...that she wanted to "try something out". |
Phina |
Hello, you two! Sorry to keep you! I'm glad you both came. |
Olivia |
What exactly did you want to try, Phina? You haven't said... |
Phina |
Well, as you know...we dancers dance to rejuvenate our friends in body and spirit, right? |
Fjorm |
Right... I often see Heroes who sing or dance assisting others on the battlefield. |
Phina |
Exactly! So, that got me thinking... What if two dancers danced for each other? Do you think...they could dance forever?! |
Olivia |
I've never heard of anyone trying such a thing before... |
Fjorm |
But is that...possible? |
Phina |
Only one way to know! And just think—this could change the very way the Order of Heroes does battle! It's revolutionary! |
Olivia |
It does seem worth a try. |
Phina |
OK! Then let's get to it! |

...Hah! And aim...and... Yah! Whew... Well, I can tell I'm improving, certainly... Just wish I didn't have so fat still to go! Next time I see Kris, I want it to be clear how much I've grown! There're just so many master archers in the Order of Heroes...it's rough to compare myself to them. Their weapons are superb, and they all handle them with such ease... Maybe if I trained a little closer to the rest of them, I might pick up some master-level techniques... |
| ??? | ...Why not become an apprentice? |
Norne |
Huh?!Wh-Who was... Am I imagining voices?! I thought I heard someone... |
| ??? | It is not your imagination. |
Norne |
Oh! I did hear something! But...no one's here... Could it have been a voice from heaven? A divine revelation?! Hmmm... I suppose I have nothing to lose asking to be taken on as a master archer's apprentice. If I want to keep improving, there's no reason not to! All right, then...here I go! |
| ??? | ... Wait... Come back... ... I... need your help... |

Sharena |
So, Nagi...when you were awoken in your world, you...had no memories? |
Nagi |
Yes... I remember nothing from before Prince Marth awakened me... Only...the name Nagi, and...that I am a servant of the Divine Dragon's will... |
| Sharena | That sounds...horrible! I can't imagine forgettint about everyone and all the things you care about... If I couldn't remember my family or any of the Heroes... I'm getting sad just thinking about it! |
Nagi |
... |
| Sharena | All right, Nagi—I've got it! I'm going to help you get your memories back! |
Nagi |
...Is that so? |
Sharena |
That's right! Ans even if we can't get all the memories, I want to help you remember SOMEthing, at least... Who knows—maybe you were called to Askr for that very purpose! |
Nagi |
To...remember? Thank you, Princess Sharena... You are...a kind soul. |
Sharena |
It's no problem at all! Actually... I already have a pretty good idea! Meet me here again tomorrow. I have a Hero I want you to meet! |

Sirius |
Let's end our training for the day there, Prince Alfonse. |
 Alfonse |
As you wish. Thank you for taking the time to train with me today. |
Sirius |
Of course. |
Alfonse |
... |
Sirius |
Is something...the matter? Can I be of more service on some way? Beyond the training, that is... |
Alfonse |
Could— Please understand I mean no offense, of course, but... You seem very familiar to me... As if we've met before, somehow... And just now, training...your footwork and well-honed lance techniques... I believe I've seen them somewhere before...performed by another Hero. Would that...surprise you? |
Sirius |
... I suspect any similarities are merely commonalities, Prince Alfonse. And just your imagination beyond. Surely you've fought countless lancers who are, like me, mediocre... |
Alfonse |
No... There is nothing mediocre about the way you fight. The way you carry yourself betrays a long history of fierce battle... That much I can tell. Even among the Heroes here, I'd be confounded trying to find more than a few who can fight like you... |
Sirius |
Prince Alfonse, I assure you... I am a simple traveler. I fight only to protect others from grief... That is all I am. Nothing more. Now, if you will excuse me... |
Alfonse |
He sure left in a hurry... ...It's not just the way he fights either! Even his voice... It's all so familiar... What's Sirius hiding under that mask anyway... |

Phina |
All right, everyone, are your accessories at the ready? Time for an inspection! Remember: We don't want just to stand out... People need to witness our sense for decorative attire! |
Norne |
How do I look? I can't say I understand accessorizing all too well, but... |
Phina |
Looks pretty good to me! Fashion essentials like that never go out of style. Inspection passed! |
Nagi |
I...have this... |
Phina |
Th-this seems...quite rare! ...Maybe? Definitely unique! I think people will like it either way. Inspection passed! |
Sirius |
The purpose of this tactic escapes me, but...will this accessory suffice? |
Phina |
Well, it certainly screams "Sirius"... I must admit that it IS a striking look, though, so...inspection passed! Last but not least: me! My accessory |
Norne |
How cute! It really does help you stand out too! |
Phina |
With these, we should be able to catch Alfonse's eye—and those of the other Heroes too! Just wait! We're about to be the most dispatched crew in the castle! And that's how we'll be of the most use when it comes to creating peace in Askr! |
Nagi |
I see... It must be my destiny... |
Sirius |
Such optimism... I should like to learn to be so positive myself. |
Phina |
All right... Now's the time! Let's put on those accessories and shine our brightest out there! Let everyone witness our mastery of both presence and appeal! |
Norne |
Er, Phina... Hey, wait! ...Of course she'd run off like that. I know we want to help, but...I can't shake loose the feeling that there might be a better way... |

H-How many?! I'll do my best... |

Then it's my turn! Time for a little dance... Here we go! Feel the energy... Let the flow of my steps give you strength... |
Fjorm |
My goodness! I can feel strength returning to my aching muscles! I think I can train even more! |
Phina |
...Whew! Now, Olivia...you show ME your dance! Then I'll feel revitalized, and we can keep on dancing! |
Olivia |
Good idea, Phina! Er, umm...don't watch too closely! Uh— H-huh?! Something's off... I...can't seem to find my rhythm! |
Phina |
Wh-what's going on, Olivia? I'm so tired... Now's no time to be shy... |
Olivia |
I-I'm trying, Phina! I just can't seem to dance for you right now... I don't understand it either! |
Fjorm |
Please try not to overexert yourself, Olivia... I'm sure there is some reasonable explanation. |
Phina |
I don't get it... Olivia's normally an amazing dancer. What could possibly be holding her back now? |

Yes! You're a skilled archer! I've thought so ever since Altea. So...would you mind teaching me? Please? |
Gordin |
Hmm... I dunno... Honestly, I'm still learning myself. I don't think I'm ready to teach anyone... ...Oh, I know! You could try asking my mentor, Jeorge! |
Norne |
Oh, right! Isn't he famous for being the best shot in Archanea? |
Gordin |
I'll tell you this: training with him was no walk in the woods, but...I sure learned a whole lot! |
Norne |
Then he must surely be a great teacher! I'll go ask him if I can be his apprentice right away! Thanks! |

Jeorge said he doesn't just take on apprentices... You were a special case, I guess, Gordin. |
Gordin |
O-oh... Sorry... |
Norne |
Don't you worry! One little root in my path isn't enough to trip me up! I WAS sent a divine revelation, so I figure it's only matter of time. I'll just go ask someone else! Thanks, Gordin! |

...A divine revelation? Wonder what that's all about... |

Princess Sharena... You asked me to meet you... |
| Sharena | Yes! So you could meet...these people here! |
 Deirdre |
Pleasure to meet you... My name is Deirdre. I, too, once lost my memory |
 Robin |
I'm Robin. I'm a tactician with Chrom's group, the Shepherds. Maybe I was something else once, but...I can't remember anything from before I met Chrom! |
 Morgan |
And I'm Morgan, son of Robin, the legendary tactician! Used to be all I could remember was my own name and my mother's name... Strange, right? |
Robin |
Morgan... Could you please not refer to me as a legendary tactican in front of people? |
Morgan |
Aw! Why not? Everyone always said you were the best tactician in the world! Plus it sounds so cool... |
Sharena |
...Right! So, Nagi, as you can see, there ARE others just like you in the Order of Heroes already! |
Nagi |
How curious...for there to be so many in one place... |
Sharena |
Anyway, I thought you could help each other get your memories back! |
Morgan |
Amnesiac Heroes, unite! Heh. |
Robin |
Princess Sharena already filled us in on the basics. I was thinking that, if we just talk to each other, perhaps we can pinpoint the root of our memory loss... And if we can do that, maybe we can regain our memories completely! |
Deirdre |
Speaking for myself, I am uncertain whether regaining my memory will bring me joy or pain... Yet, if among my lost memories there waits something I once held precious...it will be worth it. |
Nagi |
I understand...and feel as you do... |
| {{#widget:Style|style=

| Sharena | ...So, any progress? You've been talking for about a half day now... |
Robin |
I'm sorry... I still can't remember anything from...before. |
Deirdre |
I feel as though a thick fog has settled over my memories... |
Morgan |
I'm sorry, Nagi! I guess we weren't much help to you after all... |
Nagi |
No, thank you all... Your kindness alone...is enough. Each of you bears a strange destiny... and you have been brought here for some purpose... Do you feel it? In this world...your destiny can be reshaped... If you believe in yourself...and your friends... Someday... |
Robin |
Nagi... Thank you for giving us hope. |
Morgan |
Wow! We came to help you, but...you turned it around on us! |
Sharena |
Well, I'm glad this experiment had a happy ending, but...no memories still... There must be another way! |

Alfonse |
Excuse me, Sirius... I'm sorry to pry, but... Why do you wear that mask? Apologies for being so direct... |
Sirius |
.. |
Alfonse |
I ask as a comrade in arms... |
Sirius |
... Fate...can be cruel. The man under this mask was... stubborn, only realizing what he valued when it was too late... |
Alfonse |
... |
Sirius |
So, to challenge fate's cruelty... he wears a mask. |
Alfonse |
I see... So, you wear the mask to create a new fate... |
Sirius |
I suspect the story is not unique among the Heroes summoned here. Others may choose heavy armor or legendary blades over a mask, but...we all seek to change fate. |
Alfonse |
Thank you, Sirius. I think I understand the reason you wear a mask a little better now. You want not to run from fate but to face it and remake it—and for that, the mask is necessary. |
Sirius |
I know it is...improper, but this mask frees me to do as I must, to pursue that which is important to me. ...So I may create some peace for myself in a world shaped by fate's cruel turnings. |

Phina |
Hmm... Operation: Time to Shine isn't going as well as I hoped... How's it going on your end, Norne? |
Norne |
I haven't noticed any particular benefits yet, but, uhh... Oh! But I gave Princess Sharena an accessory, and I've seen her wearing it around the castle! So, I think she's enjoying her accessory, but...that might be all, benefit-wise. |
Phina |
Hm. Could mean anything... We'll just have to keep trying and see if we can notive any CLEAR benefits! Sirius already has a mask... Maybe he could show up places and put on some kind of dramatic performance? "The Great Sirius, masked wanderer and knight who fight for true love!" ...Something like that—but better? |
Sirius |
... Never. |
Phina |
Hmph! Fine... But it would've DEFINITELY gotten us some attention... That much I know! What about...Nagi! Maybe some makeup to really highlight her otherworldly style? And we can lean into the fact she lost her memories to bring her tragic past to the forefront! |
Nagi |
...Tragic...past? |
Norne |
... Ah, er, Phina? I think...we may not need to work so hard to stand out. |
Phina |
Huh? Why not? If you don't work hard, you won't stand out, and then you won't get any chance to shine! |
Norne |
This is just me talking, but...I've started thinking of the Order of Heroes a bit like a grand castle... The famous and active Heroes are outer walls, protecting...but also being all that anyone ever sees... BUT if ya don't have a solid foundation, the castle won't stay standing too long... No one ever really sees the foundation, and maybe no one even ever comments... But for me, being that foundation is just fine. I just want to help. Doesn't much matter how. |
Phina |
... |
Sirius |
Although it brings no fame, I must agree, the foundation's role is one of absolute necessity. |
Phina |
You just want to...help? You don't even care if you get recognition? ...Huh. |

Heya! Sorry I'm late! Now, let's get started on our training—same as last time, all right? One difference is...this time I brought a backup dancer! |

So, I've been thinking, Nagi... Maybe one of the Heroes from Archanea knows about your past, being from the same place... If you can't remember, maybe someone else can! |

Perhaps... |

You just wait here, and I'll go ask around! |
| {{#widget:Style|style=

| Sharena | ...bad news. I asked around, and no one seems to know anything about you... No one! |
Nagi |
I see... As expected... |
Sharena |
Someone thought maybe you came to Archanea from some other world, bit that was just their wild guess... The mystery felt like it kept growing and growing, but I didn't let that stop me! For you see... I found another Manakete from Archanea within these walls: Tiki! |
 Tiki |
I'm here to help! |
Nagi |
You are...the princess...heir of the Divine Dragon Naga... Within me stirs the Divine Dragon's will...compelling me to lend aid to the one who walks in light's path... You, Tiki, are like me... Perhaps the most like me... |
Sharena |
Tiki, you've lived for thousands of years, right? If you've been alive that long... I was wondering if maybe you two had met before, but... |
Tiki |
But I don't remember meeting you, Nagi. Or hearing about you... Nor do I remember seeing you in my dreams, during my long slumber. |
Nagi |
... |
Tiki |
I'm sorry... I just can't remember anything about you... |
Sharena |
If that's true, then...maybe you really are from another world—er, than the world where you awoke, in Archanea. |
Tiki |
B-but it is odd... When I look at you—though I know we never met before—I recognize you... How is that? Why do you feel so familiar, like you are not a stranger to me? |
Nagi |
I do not know...but I feel the same looking at you... A gentle warmth... Yes... We share a bond, that is certain... Yet, the nature of that bond... still escapes me... |
| Sharena | Hmm... Well, time for a new plan! It'd sure be nice if there were some key that would unlock her memory... |

| Alfonse | Sirius... I want to tell you something about my past... A friend I hold dear once donned a mask... And the, they met me on the field as my enemy... |
Sirius |
I see... I had assumed you asked about my mask out of curiosity. It seems I misjudged your intent. |
Alfonse |
I want to understand...why my friend needs their mask... |
Sirius |
Well, without knowing the details, it is difficult to say... But in order to raise his sword against you, he may have needed the mask. To point your blade at a friend is... painful. Perhaps they wore the mask to hide that pain... |
Alfonse |
Someday, I hope...he will no longer need that mask... |

Will you...ever remove your mask? |

Phina |
I'm sorry, everyone. I messed up! |
Norne |
Oh, don't worry, Phina... |
Phina |
I realized that whether you stand out has more to do with what's on the inside than what's on the outside. I feel awful about dragging you all along on my silly attempt at getting recognition... I'm sorry. |
Sirius |
I learned long ago that to fight for glory is folly. If I can protect those dear to me, that is enough. As long as they are well, there is no need to stand out. |
Phina |
You're right. And having seen how you conduct yourself, Sirius...I think I understand what you mean. |
Sirius |
That said...being unable to afford to give your loved one a single gift is no point of pride for a knight... So, I actually...tried crafting my own variation on a proper accessory, but, well... What do you think? |
Phina |
Sirius! A...SECOND accessory?! |
Norne |
I-it's actually quite dashing! |
Nagi |
I, too, have one more accessory... |
Phina |
Oh, wow! I didn't expect that... It's beautiful, though, Nagi! |
Nagi |
I am not sure I understand their purpose... But I enjoyed making them. I may not have had any memories before... But now I have one...and it is a good one. Thank you...for including me... |
Norne |
Since everyone else did too, I guess I'll admit I also...made another accessory. I like to look good too, y'know! |
Phina |
You...all...have AMAZING FASHION SENSE! I-it's incredible! |
Norne |
...Phina, you wanted to be deployed because you wanted to do whatever ya could to help everyone out. We could all sense that was your true motivation. |
Phina |
R-right! Definitely NOT because I want to be in a position to spend time with Navarre on the battlefield! |
Sirius |
Why—Are you...blushing? |
Nagi |
Phina... From here on, let us continue to work together... |
Sirius |
Even if success eludes us at first, we needn't panic, only keep moving forward. That is what is important. If you never stop moving forward... someday, you will surely shine amongst the brightest of Heroes. |
Phina |
You're rihgt... And as long as I'm with you all, I know I'll make it in this...or in any world! Whatever role this world has in store for me, I'm ready to play it as best I can! That's a promise! |

| Anna | According to legend...long, long ago, there were two goddesses who both walked upon this world. The two goddesses began an endless cycle of rejuvenation, dancing with each other and for each other. ...Just as you are trying to do now. |
Phina |
... |
| Anna | The cycle of rejuvenation continued for 100 years without the goddesses ever missing a step. Then, on the morning of the 101st year, they both expired at once. |
Olivia |
Oh-oh my! |
| Anna | So, the story goes, that is why, in this world, dancers can't invigorate each other... |
Phina |
I can't believe it... And here I thought I'd come up with a revolutionary new way to do battle... Ugh! |
Olivia |
B-but..dancers can still train and practice dancing together...right? |
Silvia |
Why don't we give it a try! C'mon, Phina! And...step, step, turn! |
Phina |
...Step, step, turn! ...Hey, it's true! If we just practice together, our bodies behave normally! Unfortunately, that means my little project has come to an end... |
Fjorm |
I-I'm sorry it didn't work out, Phina. I thought it was a good idea too... Don't beat yourself up about it. And remember that the Order of Heroes relies and you dancers nevertheless! |
Silvia |
It's true! If some cruel fate befell the beloved Silvia, Heroes the world over would surely weep! |
 Anna |
Right! When the situation gets dire, we turn to dancers to help us return to full strength quickly! So take care of yourselves and treat yourselves well—we need you! |
Phina |
Heh. Then leave it to us! Now we all know each other thanks to this, AND we learned we can practice together! Dance training begins now... Let's hone our skills until they shine! |

Norne |
That heavenly voice... I'm SURE I heard it this time! |
| ??? | If you're looking for me, up is the wrong direction... Look down. Behind you. |
Norne |
Huh?! It's coming from... Ah! Th-there's a hole! And...oh! Are you stuck in there? C'mon! I'll help you out! Rrrrrr-UGH! ...Phew! We did it! |
 Setsuna |
I'm saved... Thank you... |
Norne |
Y-you sure surprised me! Not only was the hole unexpected, I never imagined someone would be IN it... You're Setsuna...right? So was it YOUR heavenly voice I heard the other day? |
Setsuna |
Heavenly...voice? Me? Well, I was the one who called out to you... I had fallen in a hole, you see... But someone eventually stopped to help me get out. ...And that's when I fell into this hole. |
Norne |
Oh... Well, I guess it wasn't really a divine revelation I heard, then... |
Setsuna |
It's just...you sounded sad, so... ... You're Norne, right? Well...I think you should give up trying to be like other people, Norne... |
Norne |
Wh-what?! I mean...I know I'm only an average villager, and my weapon isn't really anything special... But I still want people to be able to rely on me even so! |
Setsuna |
Do you think you need to become a great archer for others to rely on you? |
Norne |
...Huh. Well, I, uhh... |
Setsuna |
If your goal is to be useful...why not just offer the kind of support that comes naturally to you? |
Norne |
In a way that comes naturally, huh... |
Setsuna |
Even if you aren't the greatest archer ever, there are plenty of other ways to be helpful... Like encouraging others and preparing delicious meals... In those situations, it doesn't matter whether you were born a noble or a commoner... |
Norne |
... I was so focused on improving with the bow... I guess I lost sight of what I really wanted... But you're right...it's not like my goal was to become the best archer... The entire reason I picked up the bow in the first place...was to be of some use to others... |
Setsuna |
If that's your goal, there are ways to do so outside of using your bow... And if you know your goal, a little patience might help you achieve it... As long as you don't quit...you'll reach your goal someday... Probably. |
Norne |
Y'know...you're right! I'll just do my best without trying to rush it! I'm going to concentrate on helping out without worrying about how to bring my bow into every situation! Thank you for helping me find my direction... Turns out you actually did have some divine guidance for me! |
Setsuna |
Well, I hope you do your best... And once you've honed your helping skills a bit... I hope you'll help me out of the various holes and traps I tend to find myself in... And then...maybe I could help you practice your archery... If you're interested, I mean... |
Norne |
Oh, thank you, Setsuna! |

| Sharena | I'm so sorry I couldn't be more help with recovering your memories, Nagi! |
Nagi |
Do not apologize, Princess Sharena... I must thank you... I may not have memories, but... I do understand...my purpose here, in this world... In this world, as in mine...there is looming darkness... Yet there is a light, driving it back... I am here...to lend my power to 【Summoner】, fully...
|
Sharena |
A light to drive back the dark, huh? Sounds like an accurate description of the Heroes gathered here in Askr! |
Nagi |
Princess Sharena... You, too, are among those rays of light... |
Sharena |
M-me? |
Nagi |
You, with your kind heart...who went out of your ways to help me... You shine as bright as any, Sharena... As I am now...I am without a past... But I can help build the future... And that is enough... |
Sharena |
Nagi! All your power, and you're willing to lend it to us? |
Nagi |
Yes... From here on, to drive back the darkness...to keep bright the light of the Order... I will continue to walk alongside you... May the Divine Dragon protect and watch over you... |

Sirius |
Ah, Prince Alfonse. Last we spoke, you asked me something... You asked whether I would remove this mask were I to achieve my goals... |
Alfonse |
I did, yes... |
Sirius |
You see...I have someone awaiting my return. When my goal is achieved, and the time to return comes... I may have no more need for this mask. That is why I must fight: to shed my past and start anew. |
Alfonse |
To shed the past... Could that be why my friend chose to wear his mask as well? To seek out a new life? No, that can't be it... Perhaps it was simply the turnings of his fate that force him to wear the mask... That is what I must believe. When the time comes for him to remove his mask, we can work together again... |
Sirius |
Prince Alfonse, if you wish to walk alongside your friend once more, I will do what I can to assist you. |
Alfonse |
Thank you, Sirius... |
Sirius |
This is but a temporary form, but my wish to protect those I hold dear lives ever on in my heart of hearts. |
Alfonse |
I am glad, and happy you are willing to lend us your strength so that Askr can one day see peace. |
Sirius |
I will do my utmost to live up to your expectations of me. For now, this mask is me... But I shall hold fast to my dream of peace... And I will keep fighting for a future where I can feel the sun's light shine upon my face once more! |
