Chapter Narration
(Eliwood's Story)

''Eliwood travels westward to meet with Uther, the marquess of Ostia. They pass through Laus and continue through two more territories. After a time, they arrive at a fortress separating Thria and Ostia.''

(Hector's Story)

''The group travels west to meet with Lord Uther, the marquess of Ostia. Lord Uther is an intelligent leader and power in the Lycian League. He has also been a father to Hector, ever since their parents died many years ago. Hector's reunion with his brother is a happy one, if somewhat embarrassing. Hector continues his journey filled with complex emotions. At length, they arrive at a fortress that separates Thria and Ostia.''

Before Battle
(Scene opens on Sonia, Brendan, Linus, Lloyd, Jaffar, Limstella, and Ursula gathering for a Black Fang meeting in a castle surrounded by snowy forests) (Scene transition to Ostia) (Scene transition to where Ninian joins Nils in a nearby room) (Nils collapses) (Eliwood, Lyn, and Hector come running into the room) (Scene transition to outside the castle walls) (Inside the castle) (After Battle Preparations)
 * Sonia: Jaffar. Ursula. Lloyd. Linus. That's everyone, is it not? If I have you, the Four Fangs, together, I need no one else. I have need of you to eliminate a man whose living plagues me. His name is Eliwood, a noble of Pherae.
 * Jaffar: ......
 * Ursula: ...Pherae's located in Lycia, is it not?
 * Sonia: That's right. But he is no simple country lord. He has friends. Other Lycian lords. Individually, they are no match for you, and yet... Carelessness invites death.
 * Ursula: Do not make that mistake.
 * Sonia: Lloyd, Linus... I have work for you, the Reed brothers, as well. All right?
 * Lloyd: One question. Are these our father's ord--I mean... the orders of the head of the Black Fang?
 * Sonia: Hee hee... Why, naturally. Isn't that right, my beloved?
 * Brendan: Mmm... Ah...yes.
 * Sonia: There! Are you satisfied? Remove Eliwood. Your orders come from the head of the Black Fang, Brendan Reed. As members of this group, you will follow that order, yes? Or...does your opponent frighten you into immobility, Lloyd?
 * Linus: Sonia! How dare you speak to my brother in such a...
 * Lloyd: Linus.
 * Linus: ...I know.
 * Lloyd: Sonia, we do not need to be chastised by you. Under our father, we are the ones who've carried out the law of the Fang. If Eliwood is an evil person, there is no reason for us to hesitate.
 * Linus: The Fang lets none escape.
 * Lloyd: We, the brothers Reed, dispense the Fang's justice.
 * Sonia: ......Ursula, Jaffar, you understand your orders, yes? Once you find the target, you eliminate him at once!
 * Ursula: It will be as you say, Lady Sonia. Anything for you.
 * Jaffar: ...I've received my orders. I will do my duty.
 * Sonia: Your target's name is Eliwood, noble of Pherae! Bring him down. On the Black Fang's honor!
 * Hector: ...I've heard word from my brother. He's already on his way here. We're to wait for him.
 * Eliwood: Lord Uther is coming here himself?
 * Hector: So it appears. I told you of this before, but Castle Ostia, not to mention the city itself, is filled with countless foreign spies. I assume he thinks it will be easier to speak freely here.
 * Eliwood: But...wouldn't leaving Ostia generate even more attention?
 * Hector: He's traveling in secret with very few attendants. He's skilled at this sort of thing. There's no need to worry.
 * Lyn: How unconventional. It must run in the family.
 * Hector: ...And what exactly is that supposed to mean?
 * Lyn: Nothing. I'm very much looking forward to meeting him.
 * Ninian: Nils, are you well? You seem...distant.
 * Nils: I'm fine. Just a little tired. If we can sit still for one night, I'll be bet...ter...
 * Ninian: No! Nils!? Nils!!
 * Lyn: Nils!?
 * Hector: Nils! You all right?
 * Ninian: Nils!! Open your eyes!
 * Eliwood: Ninian! Calm down!
 * Ninian: ...Ah, I......
 * Hector: Let's move him into the back room and call a healer.
 * Ninian: You mustn't move him!
 * Hector: Huh?
 * Lyn: Ninian?
 * Ninian: I'm sorry, I... Um... Please, just for now... Don't move him.
 * Hector: But...
 * Ninian: Please...
 * Eliwood: ...Let's do as Ninian says. She must have her reasons.
 * Ninian: ...Please, just one night's rest... That should...make things right.
 * Hector: If it's going to make him feel better, fine. Whatever you do, don't move him. I'll let the others know.
 * Ninian: Lord Hector.......My apologies.
 * Hector: No worries.
 * Eubans: ...So this is where the Pheraen noble and his friends are, eh?
 * Heath: Yes, Commander Eubans.
 * Eubans: Very well, Heath, your unit will attack from west of the fortress. Your mission is to put an end to the entire group. Make no mistakes.
 * Heath: ...Are you serious? Marquess Laus abandoned us and just vanished. We've no reason to engage this group. We answered Marquess Laus's call, and we will honor our duty. Regardless, we cannot remain in Lycia any longer. We rebelled against Ostia, and our entire mercenary force is hunted... If we take their heads, we can join the Black Fang in Bern.
 * Heath: I'm opposed to this plan. There are women and children in their group. What you would ask of us... It's something no knight... no man could do without shame.
 * Eubans: Listen well, Heath. You're a wanted man, a fugitive from Bern. How about we take you and hand you over to Bern's wyvern riders? We might even be knighted as a reward, given honest work.
 * Heath: ......
 * Eubans: Hah! Thought as much. Everyone wants to protect his own skin. Now, get your unit together. We attack!!
 * Soldier: Sir! We're under attack! It's the east gate! The foe is already inside!
 * Hector: Blast! They would show up now.
 * Eliwood: We can't move Nils. Let's try and hold them off! Protect Nils! Don't let them near him!
 * You're Tactician, correct? Lord Eliwood has told me much about you. I'm a knight in service to House Pherae. My name is Isadora. I'm under your command. Please instruct me.

Recruiting Rath
(With Lyn)
 * Rath ...So you're being hunted again, are you, Lyn of the Lorca?
 * Lyn: Rath! Rath of the Kutolah! Well met! What are you doing here?
 * Rath: ...After we parted company, I've made my way as a mercenary here.
 * Lyn: I see... You haven't changed at all. It's...good to see you again.
 * Rath: ...Do you need my help?
 * Lyn: Are you offering?
 * Rath: ...You...If you desire it.
 * Lyn: Yes, please! Lend us your strength! We're...involved in something terribly dangerous!
 * Rath: I see. When this is finished, I will end my service to this place.
