 * Iago: Ah, Lord/Lady Avatar, I see you've returned to us safe and sound.
 * Avatar: Yes, Iago. We've just now made it back. It's good to be home. I haven't any time to waste, though. I'd like to report to Father right away.
 * Iago: Yes, of course. I'm sure you have much to discuss.
 * Avatar: By the way, what's with all the commotion around here? Did something happen?
 * Iago: There's a small rebellion in Cheve. Nothing your royal head should worry about. Our soldiers are preparing to quash it as we speak, before it gets out of hand.
 * Avatar: Another rebellion...
 * Iago: I'm sure King Garon can fill you in on the specifics if you so please. He's waiting for you in the reception room. I would advise against keeping him waiting.
 * Avatar: Excellent. I shall go immediately.
 * Iago: ... Hmph, little snake. Parading around the castle like nothing happened. I suppose the Macarath plan wasn't severe enough. Live and learn. I'll just have to make sure my next plan isn't so easy for him to slither out of.
 * Garon: Welcome back, child. I hear you have once again fulfilled my orders flawlessly. You're growing stronger right before my eyes. I am proud of you, my son/daughter.
 * Avatar: Thank you, father.
 * Garon: But we must never rest on our laurels. Cheve requires immediate attention. Perhaps Iago already told you, but there's been a rebellion there. It's still small, but it won't remain so. Cheve is known for it's skilled knights. We cannot afford to underestimate their prowess on the battlefield. I'm sending our standing army to strike them down before this gets out of control. I'm trusting you, Avatar, to lead them to victory.
 * Avatar: You want ME to lead our standing army against the Chevois knights?!
 * Garon: That is correct.
 * Avatar: I'm honored by this opportunity, Father. I truly am. It's just... I don't have the necessary expertise to lead our troops against such a talented army. Surely there is someone else who would be better suited for this-
 * Garon: Are you defying me, boy/girl?! I am entrusting you with this mission because I believe you can succeed. Do not disappoint me, my son/daughter.
 * Avatar: But, Father... *sigh* Understood. I won't let you down. I will suppress the rebellion in Cheve.
 * Garon: I have high hopes for you, Avatar. You are dismissed.
 * Avatar: Father, wait! If I may have just a moment of your time, I have something to report.
 * Garon: Well? Out with it.
 * Avatar: Azura, the Nohrian princess who was taken by the Hoshidans, has returned to us.
 * Garon: What?!
 * Azura: Greetings, your majesty.
 * Garon: Azura...
 * Azura: Yes, milord. It is I.
 * Garon: Hmm, how unexpected. I never thought I'd see your face again. If you wish, you may go with Avatar to suppress the rebellion. Think of it as a chance to see more of your homeland.
 * Azura: ...
 * Ganon: That is all. Bring back good news, my children.
 * Avatar: Father was acting... strangely. Even colder and more distant then usual. You're his long-lost daughter, and yet he barely spoke a word to you...
 * Azura: It's quite all right, Avatar. I didn't expect much.
 * Avatar: But he's your father! It's not right. He should be more... I don't know...
 * Azura: It's fine. Please don't worry about it. To be honest, I never thought I'd see him again. So in a way, the few words we exchanged exceeded my expectations.
 * Avatar: Azura...
 * Avatar: *sigh* I wonder what's really going on with Father. And Azura, for that matter... They've been separated for a lifetime, yet they barely spoke to each other. Something about it bothers me, though I can't put my finger on it. Ah well, I haven't time to dwell. I must prepare to depart with the army. Speaking of, I'm pretty sure this is where the soldiers gather to rest...
 * Hans: Prince/Princess Avatar! Milord/Milady!
 * Avatar: Hans! What do you want?
 * Hans: So it's true. I heard a rumor that our young prince/princess would be leading us. Congratulations on the honor, prince/princess Avatar.
 * Avatar: Enough with the flattery, Hans. Did you need me for something?
 * Hans: Yes, I've been awaiting your arrival. As a member of the standing army, I will be accompanying you to Cheve. I've been ordered to aid you in whatever task you you request of me.
 * Avatar: You? Helping me? And I'm to trust you even after you tried to kill me at the Bottomless Canyon?
 * Hans: A thousand apologies, milord/milady. I pray you can find it in your heart to forgive me. King Garon commanded I attack you so as to test your abilities. You should be pleased to know you far exceeded his expectations. Despite being a Hoshidan royal, you chose to side with our great kingdom of Nohr. You chose to remain with your Nohrian siblings and the man who raised you. Everyone at the castle was overjoyed. It greatly improved morale! I have every faith that you'll lead us well and to victory, milord/milady.
 * Avatar: ...
 * Avatar: So this is Cheve... Um... Odd. There doesn't seem to be any fighting at the moment.
 * Camilla: Perhaps they've returned to their safe houses for the night. We should do the same. We'll be better prepared for tomorrow if we get some rest. I know of an abandoned place nearby. Shall we head that way?
 * Avatar: Sounds great.
 * Takumi: Hello, brother/sister dear. I've been waiting for you.
 * Avatar: Huh?!
 * Camilla: Avatar!
 * Takumi: Damn, so close. I was aiming for your traitorous head.
 * Avatar: Takumi! Are you insane? You could have killed-
 * Camilla: Stay back, Avatar! It's too dangerous.
 * Takumi: Hiding behind your fake sister, are you? You've reached a new low. It matters not. I have an army of soldiers at my command.
 * Avatar: Stop this, Takumi. This doesn't concern you or Hoshido. I've come to peacefully suppress the rebellion in Cheve. Please, lay down your bow and return to Hoshido where you belong.
 * Scarlet: Bah, I knew you hounds would try to stop our righteous rebellion. All the more reason to stand our ground!
 * Avatar: I seem to have angered you, stranger. May I ask who you are?
 * Scarlet: The name's Scarlet. I'm part of the resistance here in Cheve. I've had my people tracking you ever since you left Nohr. Our Hoshidan allies were all too grateful to receive word of your whereabouts.
 * Camilla: Turning your back on the kingdom of Nohr. Tsk tsk. Quite the little traitor, aren't you?
 * Takumi: Traitor? Ha! Nohrian logic never ceases to amuse me. Scarlet did the same thing as Avatar, only SHE chose the right side. Joining the enemy and laying a trap for your own countrymen... Sound familiar?
 * Elise: Quiet, you! Don't say such awful things about my brother/sister, or you'll be sorry! Avatar didn't betray anyone! He's/She's the best person in the world!
 * Takumi: Ugh, who allowed this little brat to speak? How irritating.
 * Avatar: Elise!!
 * Takumi: The sight of that Nohrian brat makes me sick. Just die already. Scarlet and I won't stop until we free Cheve from Nohrian oppression. I plan to eliminate all who stand in our way. It's you against us, Avatar. Isn't that just what King Garon wants? For all of us to fight to the death?
 * Avatar: You're wrong, Takumi! If you could only see beyond your own hatred of me. If we could just talk things out, we could end this war peacefully. Fighting isn't the only way. How many more people must die before you see that?
 * Takumi: QUIET, NOHRIAN SCUM! I've had enough of your lies to last a lifetime. I'm going to kill you all and bring peace back to Hoshido! All troops, prepare for battle! Destroy the Nohrian army!!
 * Avatar: Takumi!
 * Takumi: I'll... kill you all... Y-yes... If I kill the Nohrians... surely the pain... the pain in my head will go away...
