北米版ファイアーエムブレム聖魔の光石「the Sacred Stones」の章会話（エイリーク編16章：荒れ果てた王都）。

ワールドマップ

The Capital of Renais.▼
After the twins' absence, seeing their home
ruined by war brings them terrible grief.▼
Orson, a former Knight of Renais, had been
assigned to guard Castle Renais.▼
However, he switched allegiances, betraying
his oaths of loyalty to his homeland.▼
Eirika marks her homecoming by vowing to see
Renais healed.▼

オープニング

Eirika:

Brother...▼

Ephraim:

What has happened to our home? What
has happened to Castle Renais?▼
How did it come to be so ruined?
So desolate?▼

Seth:

Spies report that the castle is
being held by the traitor Orson.▼

Ephraim:

Orson...▼
In retrospect, I realize he's
been acting odd for a while now.▼
He seemed so...dispirited.▼

Seth:

His wife passed away some six
months back.▼
The loss may have been too much
for his mind to bear.▼
His love and devotion for his wife
were well known among the knights.▼

Eirika:

......▼

Seth:

Now, he sits alone in the king's
former bedchambers.▼
He makes no effort to govern.▼
No one is allowed to enter the
chambers, and he takes no meals.▼

Eirika:

What could he possibly be doing?▼

Seth:

I do not know. The spies had no
insight into his behavior.▼
He does nothing to deal with the dark
creatures and bandits roaming the land.▼
Reports say all of Renais is engulfed
in chaos.▼
Region after region is revolting, and
Orson's reign is already crumbling.▼
Left alone, it may very well collapse
under the weight of its own neglect.▼

Ephraim:

We cannot allow the situation
to reach that point.▼
We're going home, Eirika.
We're going to the castle.▼

Eirika:

I hear you, Ephraim.▼

Myrrh:

Um, Ephraim?▼

Ephraim:

What is it, Myrrh?▼

Myrrh:

I-I will fight with you.▼
Now that Selena has returned
my dragonstone to me...▼
I'll do what I can until its
power runs out.▼
Let's take back your home.▼

Eirika:

Are you sure about this?▼

Myrrh:

For the two of you...
I simply want to help.▼

Ephraim:

All right. I understand. But
you must make me a promise.▼
You are never to stray from
our side. Got that?▼

Myrrh:

Of course...▼

Orson:

What is it, Monica?▼
You seem so happy today.▼
Of COURSE I know what today is.
I'd never forget your birthday!▼
I have a present for you, dear.
I think you'll like it...▼

Soldier (1):

You know something? That Orson...
He gives me the creeps.▼
What do you think he's doing back there?▼
I've heard a lots of bizarre rumors from
the master of the mess hall.▼
...Do you think he needs help?
Could he be dangerous?▼

Soldier (2):

I don't care. I'm here for the money.
As long as I get paid, I'm happy.▼
But on the subject of rumors, have you
heard the stories of the secret treasure?▼
There's supposed to be some fabulous
wealth hidden in Castle Renais.▼
I tell you, if I find it, I'm gone.▼

Riev (Offscreen):

Heh heh heh...▼

Orson:

......▼

Riev:

It does my heart good to see you looking
so happy, Orson.▼
See what joy your treachery has brought
you? I told you treason would be sweet.▼

Orson:

...Get out.▼
This is Monica and My place. I will
not have our home disturbed by anyone.▼
I did as you asked. I betrayed Renais.
My promise has been kept.▼

Riev:

Heh heh heh... How long are you
going to continue this nonsense?▼
Eirika and Ephraim have joined forces.▼
Even now, their united forces march
toward the capital, toward you.▼

Orson:

Eirika?▼

Riev:

You can't imagine they'll forgive
you for your treachery, can you?▼
I expect the sin of your betrayal has
shattered your entire family's name.▼
And after all you did to free your wife
from the cold clutches of the grave...▼
It's a shame that she'll be sent back
there dangling from the hangman's noose.▼

Orson:

No! That can't happen--▼

Riev:

Heh heh heh...
Oh, but it can, and it will.▼
Unless you do something to stop it. You
understand what is required, don't you?▼
You have your orders, Orson.
Heh heh heh...▼

Orson:

...Monica, I'm sorry. I have something
I must do. Please wait for me here.▼
Oh, darling, don't look so sad. I'll be
back soon, and then I'll never leave.▼
I must do this to protect our happiness.
You understand that, don't you?▼
All right then. I'll be back.▼

Lyon:

......▼

Riev:

Heh heh heh...▼
He believes that thing is his wife...
Aren't people amusing?▼

Lyon:

Urr...▼
Why...
This terrible...▼
Uh!
Urr...gaa...▼
Ahh...urr...▼

Riev:

Oh my your nasty illness rearing
its ugly little head again?▼
There's no need to worry. The
pain will pass shortly...▼
Leave everything to your humble
servant,Riev. Heh heh heh...▼

戦闘

オルソン初戦時

エイリーク

Eirika:

Orson...▼
Why would you
betray us?▼

Orson:

...Princess Eirika.▼
If anyone could understand my
feeling, it might be you.▼
For the one I love...
I betrayed everything.▼
My country, my lord and
master... Everything...▼

ゼト

Orson:

Seth... So you've come,
have you?▼

Seth:

Sir Orson.▼

Orson:

You're an impressive
knight, Seth.▼
You would sacrifice your life
for king and country.▼
Not even a moment's pause.▼
It's a pitiful, unrewarding
life, through and through.▼

Seth:

It is my charge.
It is my hope.▼
Sir Orson... Prepare yourself.▼

フォルデ

Forde:

Sir Orson...▼
Why did you have to
betray us?▼
Your departed wife
is weeping in shame.▼

Orson:

You're wrong, Forde.▼
My wife is happy.
We are so very happy.▼

カイル

Kyle:

Sir Orson!▼
You betrayed your master,
Prince Ephraim, to Grado.▼
Have you forgotten what it
means to be a knight?!▼

Orson:

Kyle...
You know nothing...▼
I am happy now.▼

それ以外

Orson:

...I won't let you
come between us.▼
Monica and I will live
here happily together.▼
Forever...▼

オルソン撃破時

Orson:

Monica...▼

クリア後

Seth:

Prince Ephraim, Princess Eirika.
The castle has been secured.▼
And...▼

Ephraim:

What is it?▼

Seth:

... This way. This is the room
Orson was holed up in.▼

Monica (Offscreen):

...Darling...▼

Ephraim:

You, you're Orson's...▼

Eirika:

......▼

Monica (Offscreen):

Darling.▼
Darling.▼
Darling...darling...darling...darling...▼

Ephraim:

...What?!▼
This...is horrible...▼

Eirika:

......Oh!▼

Ephraim:

This same magic was used to
control Emperor Vigarde.▼
She's already dead, and
her corpse was used to...▼

Eirika:

Who?
Who could...▼

Ephram:

You needn't look any longer,
Eirika. Let's go outside.▼

Monica (Offscreen):

Darling.
Darling...darling...▼

Seth:

...You can't say this thing
is truly alive anymore.▼
I'll...▼

Ephraim:

No... I'll do it.▼
...The two of them spent
every day in here, did they?▼
Orson was mad.▼
But I think he was happy...▼

Ephraim:

We've finally made it back.▼
Yet...▼

Eirika:

Mmm...▼
We can repair the castle, and what
was stolen, we can do without.▼
But the wounds and suffering inflicted
upon the people of Renais...▼

Ephraim:

It's too late to undo their pain.▼
Once I become king, I must set our
country right.▼
I doubt the people will give me a warm
reception, though. I did abandon them.▼
All I can do is try to win back their
trust, no matter how long it takes...▼

Seth:

Princess Eirika, Prince Ephraim.▼
You should look outside.▼

Ephraim:

Outside?▼

People:

Prince Ephraim!
Princess Eirika!▼

People:

The king has returned!
Our king!▼

People:

Glory to Renais!
Long live King Ephraim!▼

Ephraim:

......▼

Seth:

...They're not cheering for you. They cheer
because Orson's misrule is at an end.▼
They cheer the possibility of a better
tomorrow, not the deeds we did today.▼
But how will the hearts of the people
move tomorrow and the next day?▼
That is for you to decide.▼

Ephram:

I will not let their hopes and dreams
be shattered again.▼
I will be king. Like my father before me, I
will dedicate myself to their happiness.▼

Eirika:

And I will do all I can to help, Ephraim.▼

Seth:

Prince Ephraim, Princess Eirika.▼
Before Renais fell, King Fado entrusted
me with this message:▼
"Raise the twins' bracelets in the hall
of kings.▼
The seal will be broken. The resting place
of the Sacred Stone will be revealed..."▼

Ephraim:

I understand.▼

Eirika:

So we're supposed to raise our
bracelets over our heads, right?▼

Ephraim:

Let's try it, Eirika.▼

Eirika:

I'm ready, Ephraim.▼

Ephraim:

This is the Stone of Renais...▼

Eirika:

Yes. This is one of the five stones
that defeated the Demon King...▼

Ephraim:

If Lyon had acquired our bracelets, the
stone would have been destroyed by now.▼
Together, we protected the only power
that can help us to stop Lyon's insanity.▼

Eirika:

Yes. It's the only hope left to us.▼
Hope for you and me, and the last
true hope for peace...▼

Ephraim:

Let's get back, Eirika.▼

Eirika:

...Huh?▼
Brother, look!
Our bracelets, they're...▼

Ephraim:

What is this?▼
Are they reacting to the
light of the stone?▼

Ephraim's Solar Brace and
Eirika's Lunar Brace glow
in answer to the sacred Stone.
With the power of their bracelets,
the twins can now change classes.▼

Do you want Ephraim to change
classes now?
→Yes　　　No

Yesを選んだ場合

その場でクラスチェンジする。

Noを選んだ場合

（Got a Solar Brace）
Ephraim got the Solar Brace.
He can use it to
change classes.▼

Do you want Eirika to change
classes now?
→Yes　　　No

Yesを選んだ場合

その場でクラスチェンジする。

Noを選んだ場合

（Got a Lunar Brace）
Eirika got the Lunar Brace.
She can use it to
change classes.▼

Eirika:

I can't believe the bracelets
contain so much power...▼

Ephraim:

I wonder if Father anticipated all of this
long ago.▼
When I was growing up, I never though
about becoming king.▼
I only wanted to be a good soldier, a good
warrior. The best on the battlefield.▼
Father never understood what I wanted,
but...I never understood him, either.▼

Eirika:

......▼

Ephraim:

It was the same when Grado
invaded Renais.▼
I should have stayed home
to defend the kingdom...▼
Instead, I raced off to
fight for personal glory.▼

Eirika:

Brother...▼
I don't think you know how well
Father understood your feelings.▼
When I last saw him, he was concerned
for nothing but our safety...▼

Seth:

Eirika is correct. King Fado asked
after your exploits every day.▼
He always told me what a fine king
you would one day make.▼

Ephraim:

Father...▼

Seth:

Now Prince Ephraim, Princess Eirika.
Please follow me.▼
The Sacred Twins of Renais should be
near the stone's reliquary.▼

Seth:

Ah, here we go. This lance can only
be one of the Sacred Twins of Renais.▼
Please, Prince Ephraim, take this
sacred relic and feel its weight.▼

Ephraim:

So this is one of our Sacred Twin
relics, is it? I've never seen them.▼
Look, there's a name inscribed here.▼
Siegmund, the Flame Lance.▼
（Got Siegmund）

Seth:

And this blade is sister to the lance,
the other Sacred Twin of legend.▼
Princess Eirika, if you would?▼

Eirika:

Of course.▼
There's a name carved here as well.▼
Sieglinde, the Thunder Blade...▼
（Got Sieglinde）

Eirika:

These are the ancient weapons of our
forefathers--the weapons of heroes.▼
They were enshrined generations ago,
to be used only by the king...▼
and only in times of dire need.▼
Such an awful power they possess, and
yet we need them to restore peace.▼
I've seen enough of the horrors of
war, but I can't turn my back on it.▼
If we merely turn our eyes away, we
surrender our world to atrocity.▼
And so, I must fight.▼
I'll do whatever I must do to doing
back the peace we once knew.▼

L'Arachel:

What is happening? Have you
found the Sacred Stone?▼

Eirika:

Yes. Here it is...▼

L'Arachel:

Wow! It truly is spectacular.▼
This goes some way to brighten the
dark shadows that loom over us.▼

Innes:

Our countries' Sacred Stones have
been shattered by Grado's men.▼
The Stone of Renais is our last
remaining weapon.▼

L'Arachel:

No, it's not. You have forgotten
the Stone of my beloved Rausten.▼
Remember, there were five Sacred
Stones for our five nations.▼
The Stones of Grado, Frelia, and
Jehanna are gone, but hope is not.▼
We have the Stone of Renais, after
all, and that of Rausten is safe.▼
Our road is clear, my friends.
I must guide you to Rausten.▼

Eirika:

You're right. L'Arachel, we're
counting on you to lead the way.▼

L'Arachel:

Of course. And you will all be
welcome to stay in the palace.▼
And, Eirika, you shall be my guest
in my own private quarters!▼
Let us be on our way.▼
