Ch.13: Fluorspar's Oath

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（エフラム編13章：蛍石の誓い）。

ワールドマップ

Ephraim leads the group to Za'albul Marsh in
search of the missing Myrrh.▼
They learn from soldiers and villages that
Myrrh had been captured by General Selena,▼
one of Grado's commanders.
She was last seen heading east.▼
To regain their companion, the group will
now be forced to fight.▼
Ephraim steels his heart to the reality
that he must face Selena.▼

Selena:

So this is a dragonstone...▼
The description was accurate. It
looks like an ordinary gemstone.▼
If only His Majesty hadn't ordered me to
bring this to the capital immediately...▼
I've heard reports that Prince Ephraim
and a Frelian army have landed nearby.▼
If I didn't have those blasted
restrictive orders, I could--▼

Myrrh (Offscreen):

Return it...▼

Selena:

What?▼

Myrrh:

The stone... Please.
Return it to me.▼

Selena:

You... You're--▼

Myrrh:

Return the stone to me...
Please...I'll do anything.▼

Selena:

Why do you want the stone?▼
Who are you? You're not from
Grado, that's for sure.▼

Myrrh:

Without the stone, I...▼
Please, give it back to me.▼

Selena:

Answer my questions!▼

Myrrh:

My name is Myrrh. I come from
Darkling Woods.▼
I was betrayed, and my stone
was taken from me.▼
I was imprisoned, caged, to be
transported somewhere.▼
Prince Ephraim came to my rescue.▼
I've been traveling in his care
ever since.▼

Selena:

You're with Ephraim?▼
I can't let you leave. Maybe I should
take you back to the capital with me.▼

Myrrh:

Wait...▼
You're from Grado?▼
Tell me, has anyone around you--▼
Have you noticed any changed in
the people around you recently?▼

Selena:

Changes?▼
What do you mean by that?▼

Myrrh:

Anyone near you...▼
Has anyone been transformed,
either in spirit or demeanor?▼
Does anyone act in such a way as to
appear a different person altogether?▼

Selena:

......▼
How could you know...▼

Myrrh:

The darkness is to blame.▼
I've come here to stop it.▼

Selena:

...You will tell me more.▼
If I find you are lying, I will
punish you. Do you understand?▼

Myrrh:

Yes. Are you ready?▼
I will tell you
everything I know.▼

Selena:

......▼
...I see.▼
Myrrh, I think I understand
everything you've told me.▼

Myrrh:

Good.▼

Selena:

But I cannot believe it.▼
How can I allow myself to believe
it? If it's true, then...▼
then His Majesty is already--▼

Myrrh:

Dame Selena...▼
What's that?▼

Selena:

It is a fluorspar...▼
His Majesty presented it to me
when I was promoted to general.▼
This gemstone is proof of my commission.
It's one of Grado's treasures...▼
I received it years ago, but I remember
that day like it was yesterday.▼
His Majesty smiled so kindly. His voice
was filled with dignity and affection...▼

Myrrh:

Dame Selena, you love
your emperor, don't you?▼

Selena:

What are you--▼

Myrrh:

I can see it.▼
Dame Selena, I can see
how much you treasure...▼

Selena:

......▼
His Majesty is most compassionate.▼
You see, I'm a commoner. I was raised in
a desolate, impoverished village.▼
My family couldn't afford our taxes.
No one could. We were desperate.▼
Some of us considered...horrible things
to make enough money to survive winter.▼
Then, supplies began to arrive. We were
told they came from the emperor himself.▼
He sent them to us, a poor frontier town
who couldn't even afford to pay taxes.▼

Myrrh:

......▼

Selena:

Neighboring kingdoms must have thought
the emperor mad, I can only guess.▼
But His Majesty did not care about
his standing among kinds.▼
He cared for his people. He saved us.▼

Myrrh:

......▼

Selena:

That spring, I went to the capital
and became a soldier, then a knight.▼
I wanted to dedicate my life to the
emperor who had saved it.▼
I felt I understood his dream,
I felt I shared his vision...▼

Myrrh:

Dame Selena...▼

Selena:

Myrrh, this wave of dark
energy you spoke of...▼
Can its evil really change
a person that completely?▼

Myrrh:

Yes...▼
All trace of this person would
be consumed...destroyed.▼

Selena:

How can this process be reversed?▼

Myrrh:

...I'm sorry.▼
That is...impossible.▼

Selena:

...I see.▼

Solder:

Dame Selena.
Enemy troops are heading this way!▼
We await your orders.▼

Selena:

Understood. Tell the men
we meet them head on.▼
Myrrh. I release you.▼
Return to prince Ephraim's side.▼

Myrrh:

Dame Selena...▼

Selena:

I apologize, but I cannot return
your dragonstone to you.▼
I vowed never again to fail in
my duty to His Majesty.▼
If you want the dragonstone back,
tell Ephraim he must defeat me.▼

Myrrh:

But that's--▼

Selena:

Go now! This place
will soon run red!▼

Selena:

All troops to arms!▼
For the glory of Grado!▼

Seth:

Prince Ephraim, the Grado troops are
lining up to the fore.▼
Their commander is a Grade general...
It's Selena Fluorspar.▼

L'Arachel:

Selena... I've heard she wields
the power of the thunderstorm...▼
that she uses its might to attack
from afar without mercy.▼

Seth:

Prince Ephraim, I urge you to exercise
caution when faced with such magic.▼

PLAYER PHASE1開始直前

Gerik:

Prince Innes said they would
be around here somewhere.▼
Now where in the blazes
is this Ephraim?▼

Tethys:

From this distance, I can't tell
which army is Frelia and which is Grado.▼
We'll have to move in closer if
we're to sort this all out.▼

Myrrh:

Ah...▼

Gerik:

Hm?▼

Tethys:

Oh, what an adorable girl.▼
It's all right. Come here...▼

Gerik:

You're a bit young to be on your
own. Did you get lost then?▼

Myrrh:

......▼

Tethys:

There's no reason to be afraid.▼
This fellow's a bit scary to
look at, but he's not so bad.▼

Gerik:

Come now... Hmph.
But she is right, you know.▼
If you keep looking so scared, you're
likely to hurt my feelings.▼

Tethys:

Please, little one, tell us your name.▼

Myrrh:

I am Myrrh.▼
I wish to return to Ephraim's side.▼

Gerik:

Ephraim?▼
We're supposed to be guarding
someone by that name....▼
Can you help us find him?▼

Myrrh:

Yes... He's over there.▼

Gerik:

Hey! Hold on!▼

Myrrh:

Ephraim.▼

Ephraim:

Myrrh! You're safe.
Thank goodness.▼

Myrrh:

Ephraim...
I'm sorry.▼
I... I...▼

Ephraim:

Myrrh...▼

Myrrh:

It's because I forced you
to bring me with you...▼
I didn't want to be a
burden to you any longer.▼
But all I've done is made
you worry...▼
I'm...sorry...▼

Ephraim:

It's fine, Myrrh.▼
I'm the one who should be sorry. I failed
in my promise to watch over you.▼
The battle's about to begin. I want you
to move to the rear.▼

Myrrh:

Ephraim... Those aren't bad people.
I spoke to one, and she listened--▼

Ephraim:

All right. I'll do my best
to persuade them to join us.▼

エフラムがセライナのいる島の橋で待機した時

Ephraim:

Are you Selena?▼

Selena:

Indeed I am. And you
are Prince Ephraim.▼

Ephraim:

I know you've spoken with Myrrh.▼
Withdraw your troops. You must
know that the emperor is not rational!▼

Selena:

Yes, I know.▼

Ephraim:

Then why? Why do we still fight?▼

Selena:

I am a general of the empire.
His Majesty's word is law.▼

Ephraim:

That's ridiculous. You know the emperor is
deranged, and yet you follow his orders?!▼
Is that truly loyalty?!▼

Selena:

Prince Ephraim, you cannot understand.▼
I know the path I'm given is foolish.
Yet I am a knight, and I have no other.▼

Ephraim:

Selena, please!▼
Surrender! I have no wish
to see you die here!▼

Selena:

Me? Die?▼
Prince Ephraim, you misunderstand me.
I have no intention of dying.▼
Madness though it may be, I will be
the one doing the killing today.▼

デュッセルがセライナのいる島の橋で待機した時

Duesse:

Well met, Selena.▼

Selena:

General Duessel...▼
I must offer you my apologies.▼
I called you a traitor, but
I was mistaken.▼
Your loyalty never wavered,
not for an instant.▼

Duessel:

......▼

Selena:

And yet you must know that I have
no intention of withdrawing.▼
So let us not waste words. Let us
settle this with steel, my friend.▼

Duessel:

That's how it is to be, then? One
of us dies by the other's hands?▼

Selena:

Yes. It's the path
I've chosen.▼
I have no regrets.▼

Duessel:

I see...▼
Well. I, too, must follow
the path that I have chosen.▼

Selena:

Very Well.▼

マリカ⇔ジスト

Marisa:

Chief.▼

Gerik:

Oh, Marisa!
So Ewan found you after all, eh?▼
Sorry for the trouble. Appears
the guild made an error.▼
Blast it all. I should have
double-checked everything myself.▼

Marisa:

No worries.▼
I'm with you now.▼

Gerik:

Have you taken any wounds?▼
They send you all the way to Taizel,
after all. What ill luck that was...▼

Marisa:

I'm fine.▼
I'll fight at your side.▼

Gerik:

Ah, that's comforting. We've been hired
to guard a Prince Ephraim.▼
Before we do, though, we'd better take
care of these enemy troops, huh?▼
Let's move, Marisa.▼

Marisa:

Understood.▼

エフラム⇔ジスト

Gerik:

Are you Ephraim?▼

Ephraim:

Yes, I am, but...▼

Gerik:

I'm Gerik, mercenary commander.▼
Prince Innes bought our swords
and sent use here to join you.▼
Any problem with that?▼

Ephraim:

Innes sent you?▼

Gerik:

Yeah, and the prince had a
message for you as well.▼
He said, "I've no need of assistance,
Ephraim, but I'm sure you do.".▼
That's all. I figured you would
know what he was talking about.▼

Ephraim:

Well, that's definitely from Innes.▼
Regardless, your aid is welcome.
Please join us in our fight.▼

ユアン⇔テティス

Ewan:

Ah! Sister!▼

Tethys:

Ewan, you've completed the task
you were given, haven't you?▼
This is a dangerous place. Please,
go and wait at the inn.▼
I'll be there to collect you
as soon as I'm able.▼

Ewan:

No way! I want to fight, too.▼
I've become friends with
Prince Ephraim, you know?▼
We're going to take out the
big, bad evil empire.▼

Tethys:

Wait just a minute, Ewan!▼
Ah! Ooh, that troublemaker.▼

Woman:

You must have gone through
a lot to make it here.▼
Did you come to warn us
about the fighting going on?▼
Thanks so much.▼
Here, please take this staff.
Oh, go on. Don't be shy.▼
（Got a Barrier）

右の村

Girl:

Dame Selena often visits our
village when she's on patrol.▼
She even came to our aid when
we were attacked by bandits.▼
......▼
Please, I beg of you. Don't
hurt Dame Selena.▼

セライナ初戦時

Selena:

Fluorspar... His Majesty
gave me this name.▼
Therefor, I...▼

セライナ撃破時

Selena:

I am so...very tired...▼
Now I, too...will...▼

クリア後

Myrrh:

Dame Selena...▼

Ephraim:

......▼
General Selena possessed
a curious stone.▼
Myrrh, is this the
dragonstone you lost?▼

Myrrh:

Yes, it is.▼
But I'm saddened by its return.▼
My dragonstone is here and yet...▼
My heart is heavy with remorse...▼

Ephraim:

Myrrh...▼

Myrrh:

Ephraim, can you tell me
why this had to happen?▼
Dame Selena was a good person.▼
She was filled with joy when
she spoke of the emperor.▼
Why did Dame Selena
have to die?▼
Why did we have to take
up arms against her?▼

Ephraim:

I'm sorry...▼
If I could have convinced her to
lay down her arms, I would have.▼
It was simply not possible. I had
no choice. She had to die.▼
I know you don't approve, but you
must know I have my reasons.▼

Myrrh:

My apologies...▼
Ephraim, I...
I am not seeking to blame you.▼
It's just that...I grieve for her.▼

Ephraim:

......▼

Myrrh:

I ventured out of the forest,
chasing after that dark energy.▼
I thought perhaps that I could
negate its evil force.▼
Is your cause so different from
Selena's?▼
How many good people must die
alongside the wicked?▼

Ephraim:

Myrrh...▼

Myrrh:

What can we do to end this without
any more good people dying?▼

Ephraim:

I don't have any answer for you.▼
But I will continue on toward the capital,
and perhaps I will find one there.▼
I will learn the truth behind this madness.▼
