北米版ファイアーエムブレム聖魔の光石 "the Sacred Stones" の支援会話（クーガー/デュッセル）。

Support level C

Duessel

Cormag...▼

Cormag

Sir Duessel.▼

Duessel

Are you well?▼

Cormag

I am as you see me.
Fine in every respect.▼

Duessel

I'm not talking about your flesh.
It's your heart I'm worried for.▼

Cormag

......▼

Duessel

I'm here because I made the decision for
myself to leave Grado.▼
Luckily for me, one of the leaders here
is an old acquaintance of mine.▼
I'm not saying my heart is at ease, but
I have found something to believe in.▼
Something to fight for.
And yet, you...▼

Cormag

I, too, made a choice to be here.
There's no need for your concern.▼

Duessel

......▼

Cormag

I believe in myself. Therefore it
matters not where I am.▼
So no matter where I go or what I do,
I'm sure my brother would understand.▼

Duessel

Cormag.▼

Cormag

And besides, General Duessel, you're
here in this army with me.▼
There's no shame in fighting alongside
the man once known as Obsidian.▼

Duessel

Mm.▼
Cormag, let us emerge victorious from this
war, for the things we both believe in.▼

Cormag

Yes.▼

Support level B

Cormag

Sir Duessel.▼

Duessel

Well met, Cormag.
I'm impressed by your skills.▼

Cormag

They're still far below
yours, General Duessel.▼
By the way, I have a favor I've
been meaning to ask of you.▼

Duessel

What is it? Please tell me.▼

Cormag

Your stories tell of a small lance you
carry like a treasure. May I see it?▼

Duessel

Stories, you say? Am I the subject
of stories now? Interesting.▼
Here is the lance you're talking about.
Examine it at your leisure.▼

Cormag

It... It really is...
It's a Gavaleus...▼

Duessel

Oh! You've heard of Gavaleus, have you?▼
You must know quite a bit about the
crafting of weapons.▼
This is one of Gavaleus's final works.▼
I have quite a collection of weapons, but
this is among the most beautiful of them.▼
While it can be used in battle, I would
never dull its shine with blood or dirt.▼
If I ever use this lance, I vow that it
will be only in my own final hour.▼

Cormag

It shines as thought it could light
up the soul of its wielder.▼
You're right. I would hesitate to
stain its beauty with blood, too.▼

Duessel

Ah, so you grasp what I mean?
Cormag, you have a discerning eye.▼

Cormag

Thank you.▼
And yet, I know that I will never
be your equal, General Duessel.▼

Duessel

Come, now.▼
You know, your brother asked to
see this lance once as▼
well.

Cormag

My brother?▼

Duessel

Yes.▼
You two are so alike. His comments
mirror your own almost exactly.▼

Cormag

Is that so?▼

Duessel

For warriors, our weapons are our lives.
I'm glad to know you understand that.▼
Someday, you'll be a splendid wyvern
knight to equal your brother.▼

Support level A

Duessel

Cormag...
I've something I want to show you.▼
Here it is. This lance.
What do you think of it?▼

Cormag

My! It has such power! It
sends chills down my spine...▼
I am not nearly strong enough to
wield a weapon such as this.▼

Duessel

Hm, you think so? Merely holding this
lance makes me tremble with dread.▼
Not overly so, but enough to stop
me from wielding it in combat.▼
This lance... It can drive its
wielder to madness.▼

Cormag

Madness, you say?▼

Duessel

Yes, Cormag. It's a magic weapon of dark
design that's been in my family for ages.▼
Legend states that the leader of our house
must always carry it, but never use it.▼
We are prohibited from wielding it until such
a time as madness itself rules the day.▼
It's a part of my legacy, and yet...I...
I made a grave error...▼
I allowed Valter to use this lance.▼

Cormag

You let Valter--▼

Duessel

Yes...
...We were in the middle of a battle.▼
Valter had broken his lance, and when I
wasn't looking he somehow took this one.▼
From that moment, he was changed...
He killed everyone--even retreating men.▼
I took the lance from him when I realized
what had happened, but it was too late.▼
Madness had awakened within Valter and
was coursing through his body.▼
From then on, he hungered only for battle
and for blood...▼
It's not as though Valter was a gentle lamb
before, but now his appetite for violence▼
increased many times over. It's all
because of this cursed lance.▼

Cormag

......▼
That odd light playing around the point...
I thought it looked familiar. ▼
It was Valter... It's the same light Valter
had in his eyes on the battlefield.▼
Valter's insane because of this lance.
......▼
Sir Duessel, if it please you, would you
let me have this lance?▼

Duessel

What? You?
B-but...▼

Cormag

Are you worried that I will
end up like Valter?▼

Duessel

N-no...
......▼

Cormag

This lance--someone needs to master it.
It's just a feeling I have.▼
A weapon is only as good or evil as
the man who wields it.▼
In the hands of someone just, it can
be a righteous weapon.▼
In the hands of the wicked, it's a
danger to all.▼
Believe me, I have not been seduced
by this lance.▼
I merely want to see it used for the
purpose for which it was forged.▼

Duessel

......▼
I understand you, Cormag.
I'm going to let you have it.▼
I have no son. I had not yet decided
to whom I should pass on this legacy.▼
Now I see that leaving it to someone
whom I trust and believe in is best.▼
As with me, your admiration of weapons
is balanced by a healthy respect.▼
You also have a good eye, and you
possess tremendous strength.▼
The day you are able to wield this lance
may not be far off at all.▼
If the madness in this lance can be tamed,
it may very will be a weapon without equal.▼
...I never had the courage to wield it, but
I would love to see it used righteously.▼
...I am entrusting it to you.
I hope you will use it one day.▼

Cormag

I accept your gift, Sir Duessel.▼
I would receive it once this battle is
finished and our hearts are calmer.▼
If I were to take it in the heat of
battle, I might become Valter the second.▼
It is a possibility that I cannot dismiss.▼

Duessel

Yes, I see.
Cormag... I'm counting on you.▼
I look forward to the day I can see
this lance wielded correctly.▼

Cormag

Understood.▼
Until that time comes, please try not to
get yourself killed, General Duessel!▼

Duessel

Ha!▼
