the hunt.▼
The troops return with news that Lyon has
moved north.▼

オープニング

Eirika:

L'Arachel...
May I ask your advice?▼

L'Arachel:

What is it, Eirika?
There's no need to be so formal.▼

Eirika:

It's about Lyon...▼
My brother was right. Lyon's been
possessed by the Demon King.▼
He... He's no longer the Lyon
I once knew.▼
But I can't help feeling...there
must be some way to bring him back.▼

L'Arachel:

......▼

Eirika:

Please help me, L'Arachel.
I want to save him.▼
Rausten is the spiritual heart of
Magvel. They keep the ancient lore.▼
You're their princess. You must know
something about the demons of legend.▼
It there anything that can save Lyon?▼

L'Arachel:

I'm sorry...▼
To the best of my knowledge,
there is no way to aid him.▼

Eirika:

That can't be!▼
There must be something!
Any clue, no matter how slight...▼

L'Arachel:

Our oldest legends tell us just this...▼
Only one person has ever been able to
shake off the Demon King's domination.▼
Rausten's founder, Saint Latona the
sure-hearted, shattered his fetters.▼
If one possesses a strength of will
beyond that of normal men...▼
Only then can throw off the
shackles of the Demon King.▼
But you saw it for self, Eirika,
with you own two eyes.▼
Your friend Lyon's body has already
been claimed by the Demon King.▼
Once it's that far, there's
nothing that can be done.▼
When the Demon King takes over someone,
he devours his spirit, his very soul.▼
Even if his hold on Lyon's body could be
released, that body would have no soul.▼
There is no power is Rausten...not
even the Sacred Stone...▼
that can perform so great a miracle
as to restore a shattered soul.▼

Eirika:

But...▼
Lyon...▼

L'Arachel:

Eirika...▼
I understand how you feel,
but the prince is gone.▼
The Lyon you knew no longer
exists.▼
It's more important now that
you care for yourself.▼
If we pursue the Demon King,
we're likely to suffer for it.▼
I want you to return to Rausten
Palace and rest yourself.▼

Eirika:

Thank you, L'Arachel.▼
However, I must stay with
the company.▼
I have to believe there's something
I can do to help him.▼
Lyon was always so kind. He wanted
nothing more than to help people.▼
It's too terrible to picture him
Imprisoned by the Demon King.▼
Imprisoned...with no hope
of salvation.▼

Frelian Soldier:

This way!▼
The enemy went into the
recesses of this valley.▼

Eirika:

Brother.
Do you smell something?▼

Ephraim:

Smell?▼

Eirika:

Yes. An unpleasant odor, like sulphur.
It's emanating from this valley.▼

Ephraim:

Are those...eggs?▼

Myrrh:

Gorgon eggs...
There are so many...▼

Eirika:

Brother! The eggs! They've
started to hatch!▼

Ephraim:

No... He's led us into a trap!▼
Watch out! Everyone, steer
clear of those eggs!▼

クリア後

Lyon:

......▼

Eirika:

Wait!▼

Ephraim:

Hold, Eirika! Don't
go anywhere alone!▼

Eirika:

Lyon's back there!
I won't abandon him!▼

Eirika:

Lyon! Lyoooon!▼

Lyon (Offscreen):

Ei...Eirika...▼

Eirika:

Lyon?▼
Where are you?▼

Lyon (Offscreen):

I'm...here.▼

Eirika:

Lyon...▼
Hold on. I'll save you!▼

Lyon:

Forgive me...Eirika...▼
It's over...for me...▼
The Demon King has devoured
my soul...▼
I'm mad...and I'm going...
to die...▼

Eirika:

Lyon...▼
What should I do?
How can I help you?▼
Tell me! I'll do anything,
but you have to tell me!▼

Lyon:

...The Sacred Stone...▼
Give me...the stone...▼

Eirika:

What?▼

Lyon:

My body...is being ravaged
by the Demon King.▼
If it continues unchecked,
nothing can save me.▼
But if I had the power of
a Sacred Stone...▼
I could save...my soul...▼

Eirika:

Lyon...▼

Lyon:

Please...Eirika...▼
I don't want to die yet...▼
I want to live...with you...▼
If I had the Sacred Stone...
I could...heal myself...▼
Please...▼

Eirika:

Could the Sacred Stone really
do that? Could it heal you?▼

Lyon:

Yes...▼
Please...Eirika...▼

Eirika:

I...trust you, Lyon.▼
I have a stone right here.▼

Evil Lyon:

......▼
Ah... It's true...
A Sacred Stone...▼
Ha ha......
Heh heh heh...▼
An abominable Sacred Stone...
Here in my grasp.▼

Eirka:

What? Lyon?▼
No... You're--▼

Demon King:

Ha ha...heh heh heh.▼
How disappointing for you.▼
This body is mine now.▼
Nothing remains of your
dear boy's soul.▼

Eirika:

You only pretended to be
Lyon... You deceived me.▼
Return him!
Return Lyon now!▼

Demon King:

I'm afraid there's no hope of that.▼
You see, I've devoured him. Bite
by bite, slowly. How I savored it.▼
Nothing remains but this suit of
flesh I wear. There is nothing to heal.▼
Not even the power of a Sacred Stone
can craft something from nothing.▼
He cannot be saved.▼

Eirika:

That...can't...▼

Demon King:

Ha ha...
Bwah ha ha ha!▼
I love how humans look when
they're drowning in despair.▼
Now is the time to be done
with this stone.▼

Ephraim (Offscreen):

Eirika!▼

Evil Lyon:

Oh...caught up, have you?▼
Hmm, I've changed my mind.▼
I'll leave the girl alive.
Take her.▼
There are memories of you
in this flesh I wear.▼
And I hunger to see your face
bear more suffering and pain.▼

Eirika:

......▼

Ephraim:

Eirika!▼
Wake up! Do you know who I am?▼

Eirika:

Brother...▼
Lyon? Lyon's...▼

Ephraim:

Eirika...▼
I know. Don't speak.▼

Eirika:

I...I...▼
Lyon is...
He's really...▼

Ephraim:

Let's go back.▼
L'Arachel will be worried.▼
Eirika...▼
You can weep now. As much as you
need. Weep for me, as well...▼

Seth:

...It appears the enemy
fled over this cliff.▼

Eirika:

I see no way we can
pursue him now...▼

Ephraim:

So he got away, is that it?▼

L'Arachel:

There's no cause to be discouraged.▼
Beyond these mountains lie the heart
of Darkling Woods.▼
Before we enter, we must head
north to Rausten.▼
After all, we still need the
Sacred Stone of Rausten.▼
As long as even one stone remains,
all hope is not lost.▼
Come on. We cannot give in to despair
when victory draws so near!▼
