Tempest Trials

Dark Clouds over Awakening

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Robin (Male): So this is... The Tempest. The source of the chaos that has engulfed our world.
• ???: That's right. If we don't do something about it...destruction is all we have to look forward to. The Tempest distorts time and space. Worlds become entangled...and they begin to mix.
• Robin (Female): The fact that all of us are meeting like this is proof of that, I'd say.
• ???: In another world, there are more like us-those who fight against the Tempest. They are our ray of hope. If we work together, we can change the future... I'm sure of it.
• Lucina: Of course we can! Let's fight to get our future back!

After Finishing the Tempest Trials

• Robin (Male): The Tempest is weakening, it seems.
• Lissa: They never even saw us coming! Now, come on! We've got to tell my brother all about what we did.
• Nowi: Hee hee! We're the best!
• Tharja: It's all thanks to the power of my love. It's twice as potent right now, so I'm twice as strong as usual. Heh.
• ???: Our true gratitude should go to the warriors from the other world. They fought at our side as true heroes. Unfortunately, we do not know when the Tempest will strike again. I must find a way we can fight back... I refuse to let any world be consumed by despair. Not if I have any say.

Resonating Fangs

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Faye: "Alm! Oh, I'm so glad you're safe. You're not hurt, are you?"
• Alm: "No, I'm fine. But what was that? Some sort of earthquake?"
• Clair: "I have no idea. From the sky, it looked like the whole continent was splitting in two... It looked like the end of the world."
• Alm: "Let's search for everyone else. They're probably worried."
• ???: "To worry for your friends even in such a desperate situation. You are the ray of hope I seek."
• Alm: "Huh?"
• ???: "You are Alm, another Hero-King and wielder of the Falchion, are you not?"
• Alm: "And you are?"
• Marth: "Marth... My name is Marth. Heed my words, Heroes from the World of Shadows. The calamity that split your world... was caused by the Tempest. If you lend me your strength, we can restore your land."

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Alm: The Tempest seems to be getting weaker.
• Marth: Your Falchion cut through its chaos. However, we are only half-done. Your world's gods have given Valentia two faces. I must seek her out...the other Hero. Your counterpart.
• Alm: You mean...her?
• Marth: The Celica we just fought is from another world. You could consider her just one possibility... Now that she's free from the Tempest, she should be back to normal and in her own world. However, the Celica of legend- the Celica you know-is fighting the Tempest as we speak. I must go to her aid.
• Alm: Wait! Celica is my friend. Even since we were children... Protecting her is my responsibility. I'm coming with you.
• Marth: Hmm... It is said that the Falchion is a blade forged from the fang of a divine dragon. So together we possess two fangs... That's surely enough to cleave the Tempest's chaos. Let us go.

Reunited at Last

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Sonya: I can't take much more of this! I've lost count of how many we've defeated... But they keep coming!
• Celica: It's been so long... So long that I can't even remember HOW long. Everyone's exhausted...Yet they press us, relentlessly. At this rate, I just don't know...Oh, Alm...
• Alm: Celica!
• Celica: Alm? Alm! Is that really you?
• Alm: You're all right. Thank goodness! Take a deep breath. It's going to be OK. I'll save you from this... I swear it!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Celica: The vortex... It's disappearing.
• Alm: I can't believe my eyes. The ground had cracked open...but now... It's like time has run in reverse.
• Marth: The Tempest is gone. Both space and time have quieted. Well done, Heroes from the World of Shadows. The danger has receded. Your world is safe.
• Alm: "Marth, I thank you. We owe you much for this.
• Marth: Thanks aren't necessary. Your world holds special meaning for me, too. It must be protected. I visited here myself...some time ago. Though I suppose it would be more accurate to say that it was far in the future...
• Alm: The future, you say?
• Marth: I must go. It has been an honor to meet you, Alm—the other Hero-King. I can only hope we will meet again. I bid you farewell, Heroes!

Moment of Fate

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Ike: What's the nearby situation like?
• Titania: An entire town has been destroyed... It's like that earthquake swallowed it whole.
• Soren: A large-scale force is approaching from the south, but I can't discern its affiliation. They're wearing armor I've never seen before.
• Mist: Ike, look at those clouds... They don't look natural to me. What's happening?
• Ike: I don't know, Mist...
• Marth: Well met, Greil Mercenaries.
• Soren: And you are?
• Marth: I'm Marth, a swordsman from another land. And I'd like to ask your group for help.
• Titania: So you have a job for us? Normally we would be glad for the work, but at the moment...
• Marth: The chaos before you is caused by the Tempest. I'm fighting to stem its flow. Fight by my side...And our reward will be this world's safety.
• Soren: You show up out of nowhere and claim you're trying to save thee world? Sounds shady to me. Why exactly would we put our trust in you, Marth from another land?
• Marth: Because our enemy within the Tempest is the Black Knight... The very same that Ike's father once fought.
• Ike: Yeah, we know him...
• Mist: What are we going to do, Ike?
• Ike: ...Let's hear what he has to say.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Marth: Then Tempest's chaos has been stemmed. Victory is yours.
• Mist: Ike, I'm so glad! We were finally able to—
• Ike: Mist...
• Mist: What? This means we got revenge for Dad, right?
• Ike: No... That wasn't the Black Knight. He looked the same, and he had the same power... But...
• Marth: But he was not the same Black Knight you know. This one was born from the chaos of the Tempest. I'm sorry for deceiving you... I led you to believe it was him because I needed your help.
• Ike: It's fine... We did manage to fix the world, after all. We'll face him battle for real one day, and we'll settle things then.
• Marth: Ike of the Greil Mercenaries... You will face him, and you will emerge victorious. I'm sure of it. As much as I would like to help you in turn, my job in this world is done. I must be on my way.
• Ike: Something tells me this won't be the last time I see you. We'll meet again someday, and I hope you'll help us out then,
• Marth: I will. You have my word. until we meet again, Radiant Hero.

Genealogy of Light

Before entering the Tempest

• Seliph: A vortex of pure chaos...
• Marth: Correct. The name we give this cataclysm is the Tempest. Listen well, Scion of Light. If you can avert the trial of the Tempest, you can protect one who is dear to you—Julia.
• Seliph: I understand. Julia, wait for me. I swear I will save you!
• Marth: Fear not. You wont go into this fight alone. We have allies—ones you are deeply tied to.
• Seliph: What does that mean?
• Deirdre: Seliph...You've gotten so big.
• Seliph: Mother?! Is that really you, Mother?
• Sigurd: Seliph...
• Seliph: Father? How can this be?
• Marth: Perhaps it is best to think of it as a miracle born from chaos—and the intermingling of time and space... Seliph... May the genealogy of light passed down to you now bring you strength.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Seliph: Julia! Are you all right?
• Julia: ... Seliph? What am I doing here?
• Seliph: I'm just glad you're safe.
• Marth: Crisis has been averted. Space and time should now be disentangled—and returned to their proper order. This, of course, goes for your family as well...
• Sigurd: Seliph...
• Seliph: Father...
• Deirdre: Take care of yourself, Seliph. And remember...we will always watch over you.
• Seliph: Mother... I thank you both.

Less Than Heroes

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Marth: ...And that's everything I know about what's going on. Everything I know about the Tempest... So I beseech you, Heroes... Please, lend me your strength so we can restore this world!
• Dorcas: Not interested. Sorry.
• Marth: I...beg your pardon?
• Dorcas: I'm no Hero. I'm just doing what I can to survive.
• Marth: But... This world...
• Joshua: Not so fast, Dorcas... Surely Marth doesn't expect mercenaries to work for free. What's the pay like? I'm sure we'd be glad to help for...let's say...30,000? A piece.
• Marth: M-my apologies... But I don't have the money to hire you... I apologize for assuming you would work for free. I'll find another group. If you'll excuse-
• Mia: Whoa, hold on a minute. Gosh, everyone, look how bad you made Marth feel. We should do what we can to help him! Well, I'll join you, anyway... I'm a mercenary too, but I'll waive my fees this time.
• Marth: Th-thank you...
• Mia: Heehee, don't look so shaken. You'd think nobody's ever refused to help before!
• Lute: Ho-hum... I shall participate as well. I have already saved the world a number of times. This shall be easy. Because, after all, there's-
• Joshua: No one better than you-we've heard. We'll just put this one on your tab, Marth. You're in too, right, big guy? This Tempest is just one more threat to your wife, after all.
• Dorcas: I guess you're right... I'm in.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Marth: This world has been saved thanks to your efforts. Thank you all so much. I can't say it enough... I truly appreciate your help. If it weren't for you, this world—
• Mia: Gosh, Marth, you look like you're about to cry. I had some good fights, the world's back together, and we're all alive. That's good enough for me!
• Dorcas: Now that the world's not ending, I get more time with my wife. All I ever wanted.
• Lute: And I've proven my genius once more by saving the world yet again... Thus demonstrating my natural superiority. I want for nothing more.
• Joshua: Well, I want money.
• Marth: Wh-what? I'm sorry, but...like I said, I can't pay you...
• Joshua: I'll take an I.O.U. But the interest rate is brutal at 100 percent a month.
• Marth: What?! 100 percent?! That's—
• Joshua: Hehe... I'm willing to erase your debt, if you're willing to make a small wager. Simply call it in the air... Heads or tails?
• Marth: A-all right... Heads. No, tails!

A Gift of Peace

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Marth: Heroes, heed my call. Your power is needed to quell the Tempest and save this world.
• Chrom (Winter's Envoy): Of course! We can't allow the world to be swallowed by chaos.
• Robin (Winter's Envoy): We'll do whatever we can to preserve the peace.
• Lissa: Ha...ha-ha...bwa-ha-ha!
• Robin (Winter's Envoy): Lissa! What's so funny?
• Chrom (Winter's Envoy): This is no laughing matter. Do you not realize how dire this situation is?
• Lissa: Oh, come on! How am I supposed to take your little speeches seriously when you're wearing those outfits?
• Robin (Winter's Envoy): You know why we're dressed like this. You were celebrating the winter festival with us!
• Tharja (Winter's Envoy): It was my chance to get some time alone with... with... This stupid Tempest! I'll curse it a thousand times...
• Chrom (Winter's Envoy): No matter how we're attired, we fight to protect Ylisse! Move out!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Marth: Your brave deeds have broken through and quieted the chaos. You all have my thanks.
• Chrom (Winter's Envoy): I'm just glad we could help. Maybe we were dressed a little oddly...but what matters is what we achieved together.
• Marth: Don't say that. You look good. That outfit suits you!
• Chrom (Winter's Envoy): You...think so? Well...I'll take the compliment! Maybe I should wear it more often...
• Lissa: Um... I'm not sure how to put this, but...you should think twice before you trust Marth's taste in clothing.
• Robin (Winter's Envoy): Well, well. I never expected to hear such a thing from the legendary Hero-King...
• Marth: Had I been able, I would have loved to have been with my family, dressed like that... Where I come from...we don;t often have the chance to celebrate festivals as you do.
• Chrom (Winter's Envoy): Marth... Why don't you join us? The festival isn't over just yet. Spend some time with us!
• Marth: I thank you for the kind offer, Chrom. Unfortunately, I must be going... But if the opportunity comes again... I will surely join you, courageous Heroes!

Breath of Destiny

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Lilina (Love Abounds): Uncle Eliwood, the enemy is almost here.
• Eliwood (Love Abounds): So I see... It's a shame this all had to happen in the middle of the festival. And to make matters worse, the cataclysm has divided our forces. At this rate...
• Lilina (Love Abounds): Uncle...
• Eliwood (Love Abounds): You must hide, Lilina. This place will soon be a battlefield.
• Lilina (Love Abounds): But I want to fight, too!
• Eliwood (Love Abounds): Out of the question. If something were to happen to you, I could never face Hector again.
• Lilina (Love Abounds): You're concerned about my father? But...
• Eliwood (Love Abounds): Roy should be close by. We'll be fine once we can join up.
• Roy (Love Abounds): Father! Lilina! I'm so glad you're safe.
• Lilina (Love Abounds): Roy!
• Roy (Love Abounds): Father, Lord Hector is battle on the frontline. According to his new ally, our enemy is from another world... And this phenomenon is called the Tempest. I'm heading back into battle right away. Please, stay right here and—
• Eliwood (Love Abounds): No. I'm coming with you.
• Roy (Love Abounds): But, Father... Your health...
• Eliwood (Love Abounds): My health is fine. I understand that in your world, I'm ill... But right now, I'm at full strength. Now let's go provided Hector with some assistance.
• Roy (Love Abounds): Thank you, Father. It feels like some sort of dream to be able to fight by your side...
• Eliwood (Love Abounds): Ha. Well, I'll do my best to leave you with a good impression. Now let's go!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Roy (Love Abounds): The vortex is fading.
• Eliwood (Love Abounds): You're right. We managed to quell it somehow.
• Roy (Love Abounds): I'm glad... Father? ...Thank you.
• Eliwood (Love Abounds): It is I who should thank you. The fractured worlds are repairing themselves. We should say our goodbyes while we can.
• Roy (Love Abounds): Father...
• Eliwood (Love Abounds): Roy... The way you fought shows that you are truly worthy of leading the Pherae armies. I am certain that you will be a child of fire... One that saves the land from an evil star. I'm proud to be your father. I hope we meet again, my dear son.
• Roy (Love Abounds): Thank you, Father...

Invisible Ties

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Chrom (The Branded King): Finally...it's over. Robin, we did it. We changed our fates! We have finally, truly won.
• Robin (Female): Yes... What's that!?
• Robin (Fell Reincarnation): Indeed. The course of fate has been altered.
• Robin (Female): Who are you!?
• Robin (Fell Reincarnation): Distortions flow through time and space... Causality is warped and twisted. This world's history has been set free. Who knows how it will waver and bend?
• Chrom (The Branded King): What's that supposed to mean? And you haven't answered Robin's question, either. Who are you!?
• Robin (Fell Reincarnation): Who am I? Robin, of course. Before fate was altered, Chrom slew me. I was reborn as Grima. I have come here in pursuit of the child who calls herself Marth.
• Robin (Female): You're saying that you're...me? From a different past?
• Robin (Fell Reincarnation): Indeed. We are one and the same. But we come from different worlds... Very different. Perhaps it's due to the intensity of the forces of chaos... I had not anticipated meeting a female self.
• Robin (Female): Well, here I am.
• Robin (Fell Reincarnation): Would this qualify as self-loathing? Because I have an intense desire to kill you... This turmoil is fascinating.
• Chrom (The Branded King): Don't you even think about it!
• Robin (Fell Reincarnation): Oh, Chrom... You're here? I didn't even notice you. You've grown in strength. I will have to tear some strips off of you before I devour you. Come to me... You have no choice, since the only way to escape the Tempest is to defeat me. I am the wings of despair. I am the breath of ruin. I am the fell dragon, Grima.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Marth: I should have known you were pulling the strings.
• Loki: Well, well. You caught me. Do you really have time to waste on me, though? Don't you have a Fell Dragon to murder? And there's that young lady that Prince Chrom seems so attached to. She's Grima too, isn't she? Don't you worry that little artifice will come tumbling down some day? That she'll kill your dear prince? I would.
• Marth: I'm aware of the situation. I once tried to kill her, myself...
• Loki: Oh, really? My, my...
• Marth: But I know better now. The bond those two share cannot be broken—by anything. We have the power to change fate.
• Loki: Change fate? Oh, how adorable. But tell me this. Can you really be sure that changing fate will make you happy? And doesn't it seem likely that all your meddling will ruin some lives?
• Marth: ...
• Loki: Someone whose life was perfectly lovely... Well, they might not be quite so happy as you are... Once the world changes. All you really want to do is pick a future that suits you... Isn't that a little self-serving? If I can see that, dear, surely you can.
• Marth: ... Of course I can.
• Loki: Well, at least you'll admit that much. You may be completely lacking in charm, but you're not stupid. Of course, if you're too clever... That means I'd better kill you.
• Marth: What!?
• Loki: Oh, sweet pea. Did I scare you? Hush now. I don't mean right this second! I'll be seeing you again...

Tempest Trials+

Thunder's Fist

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Leif: The River Thracia... So vast that no matter how often I look at it, it always captivates me...
• Marth: The historical record holds that your liberation army is victorious here and crosses to the other side.
• Leif: You understand how our future is going to play out... Is that what you're saying?
• Marth: Correct. But even as we speak, the Tempest is bearing down on this land. You must take up your sword. You must face the same man you did in the histories I read.
• Leif: Sir Reinhardt... His reputation precedes him. All say he is an adept of the battlefield... Some even say he is no less than the crusader Thrud reborn.
• Marth: The fight to quell the Tempest will likely be much more difficult than anything you have faced 'til now. Let us proceed with all due caution, Prince Leif.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Marth: The Tempest's chaos has once again been quieted... Your efforts are appreciated, Prince Leif. The history I studied had the measure of you. You are, indeed, a great Hero.
• Leif: A Hero, you say? A wise man once told me that Heroes do not choose to be Heroes—that the era demands they become Heroes.
• Marth: That is a fair thing to say, I believe. That is why I wear this mask... There was need of a Hero.
• Leif: Prince Marth?
• Marth: The story of the battle you fought fascinates me. The scale of the enemy's forces was vast... You were at an overwhelming disadvantage. After so many fights, you and your allies were beyond exhausted. You stole supplies from the enemy, rescued your comrades, and faced up to those overwhelming odds.
• Leif: So you say...
• Marth: My world faces circumstances just as dire. That victory was something you reached out and grasped, relying on your own strength... I hope you can understand, even a little, why I admire you. As I fought beside you, I felt that feeling grow...
• Leif: But I have so much to learn! Hearing this is a little embarrassing...
• Marth: You're too modest, Prince. There is no denying that you are a Hero. The light in you shines strongly. I am honored to have met you. Someday, sometime... Perhaps we can meet again, Sage-Lord.

Loki’s Flames

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Loki: Why must it always be so insufferably hot in Múspell?
• Laegjarn: Loki...
• Loki: Princess Laegjarn! What exquisite timing you have. Shall we retire to the baths? I'm so...grimy. I wish you'd let me take care of you and your darling little sister. I would like nothing more...
• Laegjarn: I can take care of Laevatein. And I'll also take care of anyone who lays a hand on her. Consider yourself warned.
• Loki: So, no bath, then?
• Laegjarn: I have had my fill of your foolishness, Loki. What brings you here? I know that you have not sworn your loyalty to my father. I suspect an ulterior motive.
• Loki: So what? The king seems pleased enough with my assistance. If you would like to know what I really want... I'll give you a riddle to solve. If you get it right, I'll reveal...everything.
• Laegjarn: I doubt I could make sense of any riddle you'd dream up. I've already wasted enough time trying to puzzle you out. It seems as though you operate on caprice and whim alone. I have little doubt you'd throw away everything if the mood struck you. You are a creature of chaos.
• Loki: Darling! I'd no idea you'd taken such an interest in me. I'm touched. But I am afraid we're out of time. There are some adorable brides who I'm aching to meet...
• Laegjarn: Where are you going now?
• Loki: Oh, never mind that, dear. It's...just one of my little secrets. Let's just call it the heart of the chaos and leave it at that!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Loki: The Tempest is already sputtering out... How sad. Those brides were so adorable. I wasn't done with them... Oh, well. I'll console myself with the thought that no matter who wins, well... You know what? I think I'll keep that one to myself for now. I know you're listening, dear. Come on out.
• Laevatein: ...
• Loki: Princess Laevatein! You were spying on me. I'm shocked! Did your grouchy sister put you up to it?
• Laevatein: No. It was my idea. Loki... If you hurt her... I will get you.
• Loki: The love shared between sisters is such a beautiful thing. But it's also a bit sad! So strong, this love is, that you two just can't open up to me... Your own mother!
• Laevatein: What? No... Not true! ...Is it?
• Loki: Of course it isn't, dear. You are just as cute as can be! So pure of heart...
• Laevatein: You—
• Loki: Now, now, Princess. You are so adorable that I feel myself dying to tell you my secrets... You don't need to worry about me, dear. My goal is the same as your dear father's... The destruction of Askr.

Feud of the Fangs

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Nino: Jaffar... Where are we? Nothing looks familiar, and the clouds... They're spiraling in the sky...
• Jaffar: ...We must go. Hurry. ...!
• Linus: Jaffar.
• Nino: Linus?
• Linus: Nino! Didn't think we'd run into you here.
• Nino: Linus... I, um...well...
• Jaffar: Get back, Nino. Mad Dog... Get out of our sight. If you don't... I'll take care of you.
• Linus: Now, that's a laugh! You honestly think that you... Well, all right.
• Nino: S-stop it! Both of you!
• Legault: Nino's right. Black Fang assassins should strike their targets and no one else.
• Nino: Uncle Legault!
• Legault: Nino... This again? Do I look like your uncle? No, never mind... Linus, you need to stay focused. We're looking for the one who injured Lloyd. Priorities, young man.
• Nino: Lloyd was hurt?
• Legault: We were ambushed. We didn't have a chance to react... They fought like one of ours—striking from behind.
• Linus: He was protecting my back. Damn it!
• Legault: He's alive, but we're in trouble. We need to get out of here.
• Jaffar: The target?
• Legault: We never saw them. That, however, offers a clue to their identity... How many people, do you think, could sneak up on Lloyd?
• Linus: It would have to be one of ours—one of the Four Fangs.
• Jaffar: The Blue Crow.
• Linus: That damned woman... Did she really think we'd let her get away with what she did to Lloyd? It's time I finish her off!
• Legault: There you have it. Angel of Death, Nino... You're coming with us.
• Nino: Of course!
• Jaffar: ...
• Legault: Ever since we got here, it's just one thing after the other. But I'm...enjoying myself. It's like old times. The Black Fang, back on the job. Come on! There's work that needs doing.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Ursula: ...Uww...gaa... I've failed...
• Jaffar: ...This is the end.
• Legault: Wait! What's she— Too late. She chose death over living with her failure. No surprise there.
• Nino: Look! The clouds are dispersing... It looks like the sky is returning to normal.
• Legault: That's good news for all of us. Should mean we're all in the clear... Lloyd, too. That leaves us with one question... Linus?
• Linus: ...
• Legault: "Disloyal filth," I believe that's the turn of phrase you used to refer to us, traitors to the Fang. Do you plan to dispense your justice?
• Linus: ...
• Nino: Linus, you're my brother! I...
• Linus: Don't call me that, Nino. You haven't earned my forgiveness.
• Nino: ...
• Linus: But I won't kill you. Lloyd is alive...in this world. Thanks to that...I can let you go.
• Nino: Linus...
• Legault: Then we live to fight another day. Hey, Linus...
• Linus: Now what?
• Legault: It may not be today, but... You should try to find it in yourself to forgive her. The three of you were family once. You, Nino, and Lloyd... And here, you can be a family again. Or is it too late?
• Linus: ...
• Legault: Like I said, doesn't have to be today. But think on it, and see what Lloyd has to say.

Sweet Dreams

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Tiki: Huh? Where did everyone go? We were all playing on the beach just a moment ago, but... Where am I now?
• Marth: You're in a place born from the chaos of the Tempest. A different time and space, in which—
• Tiki: Mar-Mar! Thank goodness!
• Marth: Huh? Mar...Mar? Er, um, yes... It is I, Marth. Your...Mar-Mar... If anyone would know Prince Marth— I mean, me—as well as anyone, it's you, Tiki.
• Tiki: Heehee, of course! Oh, but... Why are you wearing that mask?
• Marth: Well, you see... There's... There's a very good reason for that...
• Tiki: Oh, don't tell me! Let me guess! It's because... Because Mar-Mar was... Hmm...
• Marth: W-was? You mean "is"! The real Mar-Mar, I mean, the real Marth... Ahem, I am—
• Tiki: I got it! We were splitting watermelons on the beach, and it was your turn, so you put on a blindfold!
• Marth: Y-yes! That's exactly right. You're a good guesser, Tiki. I was in the middle of some special training. In fact, this mask helped me become quite the watermelon-splitting expert. But we don't have time to chat right now. Tiki, will you help me cut through this Tempest?
• Tiki: Of course, Mar-Mar!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Marth: We've broken through the Tempest. Thank you, Tiki. And thank the rest of the brave summer warriors as well.
• Tiki: Hmm...
• Marth: Is something the matter?
• Tiki: That person we fought... Was that... Was that me as a grown-up?
• Marth: Oh... Well, you see... How should I explain this...
• Tiki: Do I do something bad? Like in my awful nightmares, when I become a monster and hurt people? No, I won't! I don't want to become a monster!
• Marth: Don't worry, Tiki. That was just an illusion born from the chaos of the Tempest. In the real future, the future I know, you are very kind to everyone you meet.
• Tiki: *sniffle* Promise?
• Marth: I promise, Tiki. You and I are still good friends in the future. When you grow up, you'll be loved and known as the Divine Dragon's oracle, or simply the Voice. You'll help to save many, many people... Including me.
• Tiki: Really? Hmm...
• Marth: So do not worry, Tiki. Because everything is OK, now and in the future. In fact, you grow into a very charming—
• Tiki: Hmm, yeah... Charming...
• Marth: Tiki?
• Tiki: Zzz... Zzz...
• Marth: Aw, Tiki... Did you wear yourself out? Your ability to drift off so quickly never changes...
• Tiki: Mar-Mar...
• Marth: ...Oh! Me? Yes, of course. I am—
• Tiki: I love you, Mar-Mar...
• Marth: ... Sleep tight, Tiki... And sweet dreams.

Chaos Named

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Ryoma: Princess Elincia, I regret that I must trouble you during the festival... But something strange is happening...
• Elincia: What do you mean by "strange"?
• Ryoma: It's Lady Micaiah. It seems her behavior has become...wild. We're hearing reports from all over the festival. She's visited stall after stall, devouring food... She is now dancing on the festival platform—dancing like a woman possessed, by all accounts.
• Elincia: There must be some mistake...
• Xander (Festival in Hoshido): I find this difficult to believe, myself. Though I've known her but briefly, I would never have anticipated this...
• Micaiah (Festival in Hoshido): Have I missed something?
• Ryoma: Lady Micaiah! You're here? Then who is it sowing chaos in the festival?
• Micaiah (Festival in Hoshido): I don't understand what it is you're getting at! What's going on?
• Ryoma: I see...
• ???: My truth is not your truth... Of course you don't understand, Micaiah.
• Elincia: Who are you?
• ???: I am but a bird... A little bird flying freely through the skies, singing whatever tune she pleases... This vortex is chaos itself... And I can feel it pulling me in... Come and play! I've learned a new song. "Oni, come to me... Follow the sound of my clapping hands..."
• Xander (Festival in Hoshido): Now, wait a minute!
• Ryoma: Another Lady Micaiah... Do you have any idea who she is?
• Micaiah (Festival in Hoshido): I don't... But, at the same time, she is very familiar...
• Black Knight: Be not alarmed, maiden.
• Micaiah (Festival in Hoshido): Sir Knight?! When did you—
• Black Knight: I am not the knight you know. I reside in the Tempest, in the chaos... Maiden, come with me. Come into the depths of the Tempest. Your path lies with the goddess of Chaos.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Ryoma: It faded like mere mist... I did not expect the Tempest to do that.
• Elincia: It's almost gone...
• Micaiah (Festival in Hoshido): Fighting her, I came to understand something, I think... Fundamentally, she wasn't evil. It was the Tempest that was driving her actions. Deep down, she was just lonely... She wanted to go to a festival and be with people. That's why she did what she did. Prince Ryoma, I must apologize on her behalf. That behavior...
• Ryoma: There is no need for apologies, Lady Micaiah. There was no malice in her. She was simply young and free...
• Micaiah (Festival in Hoshido): Yes... Just like Yune, that free- spirited child... Ah! Yune! Quiet down, please! I'm worn out... We went through so much today.
• Black Knight: Maiden?
• Micaiah (Festival in Hoshido): Sir Knight... That you should come to us now is surely the will of the goddess. I thank you for your aid.
• Black Knight: The will of the goddess? Hmm... There is nothing to fear. I believe you will overcome all odds and become a brilliant light for Daein. Move forever forward, Priestess of Dawn...

Doorway to Destiny

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Marth: Lord Sigurd, descendant of Baldr of the 12 crusaders... You wield a strength not many command. Please, lend me that strength and help me defeat the enemy within this Tempest.
• Sigurd: This enemy...who is it, Prince Marth?
• Marth: Our foe, the root of this chaos... It's you, Lord Sigurd.
• Sigurd: ...Impossible!
• Marth: He is a Sigurd from another world, trapped in an unending nightmare. If we defeat him, he will be released from his terrible prison...and this chaos will end.
• Sigurd: Then I must face myself... That is no easy thing to stomach, even if he is from another world. But if this other Sigurd is the root of this chaos, I will do what I must to sever that root. I am with you, Prince Marth.
• Marth: Thank you, Lord Sigurd. Together, we won't lose. You have a strength the other Sigurd lacks; the strength of—
• Quan: Sigurd! You're all right!
• Sigurd: Prince Quan! Where did you—
• Eldigan: It has been too long, Sigurd.
• Sigurd: Eldigan! You're here too?
• Marth: They will join us. Together, we will break through this chaos.
• Sigurd: My friends...the path ahead is treacherous. You need not burden yourselves by joining this fight.
• Quan: What burden, Sigurd? We made a promise back at the academy in Belhalla, if you recall.
• Eldigan: We vowed to always come to the aid of one another, no matter the cost.
• Sigurd: Yes, I remember... Such dearly held memories are not easily forgotten.
• Marth: These bonds you share will be the strength we'll need in the battles to come. Now, let us face our foe...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Marth: The chaos of the Tempest has broken... Thank you, Heroes.
• Sigurd: With the Tempest dispersing, everything will return to normal. As for me, that means...
• Marth: ...I'm sorry, Lord Sigurd. You were summoned as a Hero after your life was taken from you. As were your friends, Prince Quan and Prince Eldigan.
• Sigurd: ...I see. Eldigan... Quan... My dear friends. Please forgive me.
• Marth: It's true that each of you suffered an untimely death... But though you can't return to life, your noble souls were not lost. The light you three carried was inherited by your children...
• Sigurd: Seliph, my son...
• Marth: I know of the future, and I can tell you, at the very least, it is bright. Know that the children you each left behind find victory, and they build a world where all can live in peace. That is the future you left for them... and each grows to be a legendary Hero in their own right.

Familiar Faces

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Marth: ...And that's everything I know about what's going on. Everything I know about the Tempest... So I beseech you, Heroes...Please, lend me your strength so we can restore—
• Dorcas: Hmph.
• Marth: Is that you, Brave Hero? It is! Please, wait! If it's money you want, I...
• Dorcas: I'm not here to rob you, if that's what you think. Guess I can't blame you after last year.
• Mia: Whoa! Hi there, Marth! It's good to see you again. Ready to get going?
• Marth: Another Brave Hero...I am glad to see you again, Mia. Truly, I am...so grateful...
• Mia: Aw, that's no reason to cry, Marth! Stop that sniffling!
• Myrrh: I sense a sinister presence. I can't ignore that, so I'll join you.
• Niles: I wonder what sort of mischief awaits us in the depths of the Tempest...
• Kagero: Though I must return to my liege's side with all haste, I will join you in fighting this evil.
• Mia: Seems like everybody's raring to go! Time's wasting. Let's get a move on! C'mon, you big ox!
• Dorcas: Guess that's how it is.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Marth: Thanks to all of your efforts, this realm is safe. You have my thanks.
• Myrrh: I no longer sense anything sinister here. Everything is all right.
• Kagero: I must complete my mission. Farewell.
• Niles: Yes... If something were to happen to Lord Leo while I was gone... I guess that's it for me, kids.
• Marth: The Tempest has been stilled for now. Everyone will return to their own realms... I know it must be this way, but it is always hard to say good-bye to Heroes. I hope we might meet again.
• Dorcas: Speaking of which...
• Marth: Yes?
• Dorcas: That guy Joshua told me he's hoping to run into you again. He said something about a bet you made...
• Marth: Did he? I...see. Well, I must be on my way! Farewell, Heroes!
• Dorcas: ...Turned tail and ran...
• Mia: Hahaha! I hope we meet again!

Before We Met...

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Azura: This Tempest is troubling... Worlds are twined into its winds. They mix, they scatter... It is ultimate chaos.
• Azura (Young): If the worlds are infinite, as I was told... Any world that I could wish for exists here. Did things become this way because of me? Is it because I hoped for things to be different?
• Azura: Oh, Azura, no. You don't have that kind of power. That woman made use of the remnants of the power that remain within you, that of your forebears. Shall we go?
• Azura (Young): Go? Go where?
• Azura: We must stop the Tempest. Here, I have no special power. But you are different. Lend me that power, and we can fight together.
• Azura (Young): I...I can't... I can't fight.
• Azura: So you will do nothing? You will stand by?
• Azura (Young): I...
• Azura: In the future...someone I know will face a terrible choice, one much more difficult than you face now. Either way they turn, people will die— people they care about. To stand at a crossroads like that must feel like your body is being torn apart... In the future, the choice has been made. They chose their path, and they accepted responsibility for it.
• Azura (Young): I... I can't. I can't be that strong.
• Azura: If that is your decision, then...I will go.
• Azura (Young): But...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Azura: Thank you, Azura. You saved me.
• Azura (Young): I...I just wanted you to finish the story. That person you were talking about... What happened to them?
• Azura: They continued on the path they chose...all the way to the end, without stopping. They changed the future, Azura. They changed the world.
• Azura (Young): The...the world? It's impossible! I...I can't...
• Azura: That may be so. But bear this in mind, Azura... Even if you can't change the world, you can change yourself. In fact, you have. Just now.
• Azura (Young): ...
• Azura: The Tempest is weakening... It is time for us to part, Azura. I do not think that we will meet again. I will pray for your safety.
• Azura (Young): I...I won't give up. I may not have the strength of the person you spoke of, but... Your strength... You're me, aren't you? So I can be strong like that.
• Azura: Yes, Azura. That's right. You can.

Life Is But Fleeting

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Fae (Gifts of Winter): Ice is so...so...so...slippery! Whoa! Now, spin, spin, spin around... Wow! This is amaaaaazing!
• Eirika: Be careful! You don't want to fall. Even though it's said that she has lived longer than any of us, she still acts just like a child...
• Cecilia: Dragons live much longer than we do. She is no different. She could live for thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. It is said to be a life almost without end...
• Ephraim: I know another dragon who has lived a long span—Myrrh. To live so long... I'm a little jealous, to be honest.
• Eirika: What do you mean, Ephraim?
• Ephraim: To walk the path of the warrior, to live the life of a king... I can't do both in the time I have. It takes years—no, decades—of focused effort to excel at something. But even then, you have just begun. If you could continue to hone your skills for hundreds or thousands of years... You could maybe really achieve something.
• Cecilia: Throughout history, many kings have sought eternal life. And others have tried to unlock its secrets... I understand what you mean, I think. When I saw the endless shelves of books in the palace library... Even if one was to spend their whole life reading, there would be no way to read them all. A shame, isn't it?
• Eirika: All this means is that we must plan our paths carefully. Don't you think? And I...
• Fae (Gifts of Winter): Come on, you three! Let's get going!
• Ephraim: Yes, let's. We must combine our strength to defeat the enemy that awaits us within the Tempest.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Cecilia: The Tempest's foul presence has dissipated. All is well.
• Fae (Gifts of Winter): Hee-hee! We did it! We make a good team.
• Ephraim: You're right. We're good friends now, aren't we?
• Eirika: If ever you get the chance, please come and visit Renais. We'll give you a guided tour.
• Cecilia: I would be glad to take you up on that offer.
• Fae (Gifts of Winter): Yep! I love to go on walks.
• Ephraim: Well, you're welcome anytime... Eirika? What is it?
• Eirika: Oh, nothing, really. I was thinking about what it means to live for so long.
• Ephraim: What do you mean by that?
• Eirika: We have become friends—for now. But won't she get lonely, living on, endlessly? Long after we are gone, her life will continue. Inevitably, her memories of us could become painful to her...
• Ephraim: I see... To live on, losing friend, after friend, after friend... To feel that sadness, again and again... This is what it means to live for such a long time. I am sorry, Fae. I didn't think about that. You've taught me something.
• Fae (Gifts of Winter): I did?
• Ephraim: Our lives are fleeting. We must choose very carefully what we will do with the little time we have.
• Cecilia: It is true...but do not brood on it. For the sake of your sister, if no one else.
• Eirika: She's right, Ephraim! You've got to grow up a little. Just the other day—
• Ephraim: Yes, yes. I understand. Tell me about it later. For now, it's time we leave.
• Fae (Gifts of Winter): All's well that ends well! That's what I like to see!

An Alliance of Princesses

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Eir: This Tempest...such life in it, and yet... I sense a terrible distortion.
• Fjorm: Princess Eir, it is good to see that you are safe.
• Eir: It's Princess Fjorm, isn't it? You are the one who is always by Kiran's side...
• Fjorm: What? Of course I'm not. I mean... yes, I am sometimes. Obviously. Why would I not be? We're comrades—in battle. I must stay close—it's nothing more!
• Eir: Nothing more?
• Sharena: Fjorm! Eir! There you are!
• Fjorm: Oh, Sharena. I'm glad you're here.
• Sharena: I've looked all over this place for signs of life, but it seems like it's just us three. That's perfect, though! A trio like us will make short work of this Tempest!
• Eir: Are we...a trio now?
• Sharena: Of course we are! A trio of friends! Wouldn't you agree, Fjorm?
• Fjorm: As a matter of fact, I do. I think this is a great opportunity for us to bond.
• Sharena: It just makes sense! We're princesses, after all.
• Eir: The living certainly are...brimming with energy. Very well. You lead, and I will follow.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Sharena: The Tempest is fading. Looks like it was no match for this royal trio!
• Fjorm: It seems so. Shall we make our way back, then?
• Eir: I... Sharena. Fjorm. Thank you...
• Sharena: Huh? What for?
• Eir: As long as I can remember, friends are something I have gone without. But you went out of your way to befriend me. And for that... I am grateful.
• Sharena: I'm glad to hear it, Eir! I was kind of worried we were bothering you, just because you're normally so quiet.
• Eir: I apologize. I am not accustomed to speaking with people. In the realm of the dead, there is seldom anyone to talk to. I have gone whole years without speaking.
• Fjorm: Princess Eir...
• Sharena: Well, it's never too late to start, is it? Fjorm and I will give you lots of practice! Won't we, Fjorm?
• Fjorm: Certainly. We need to keep the trio together, after all.
• Eir: Thank you. The living are so full of energy... It's dazzling. Such warmth...

Heating Things Up

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Marth: The Tempest... That is the name given to this vortex of chaos. I call upon you, great Heroes...
• Ryoma: Yes?
• Marth: Please...lend your strength to...to...
• Camilla: Cat got your tongue?
• Marth: I have fought alongside Heroes from many realms and many ages... And yet... This...is new.
• Hinoka: Don't blame us! You decided to summon us while we were wrapped in towels.
• Elise: It's not even strange! We often visit the hot springs between battles...
• Sakura: This... This is n-normal. I'm not embarrassed! I'm not...
• Ryoma: Worry not, Prince Marth. I am ready to fight. A samurai must always be ready, no matter where or when.
• Marth: I understand. And I believe in you—all of you. Let's head out...before you catch cold.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Marth: The Tempest fades. I thank you for your bravery, Heroes.
• Hinoka: We have claimed victory...somehow. The Tempest was strange, wasn't it? We visited so many springs...
• Camilla: Good thing we were dressed for the occasion. We're soaked!
• Marth: That's true... I'm wet through. Achoo! I need to change... I suppose I had better leave.
• Ryoma: Why not join me in the bath, Prince? Corrin's spring warms the body and soothes the mind. Have you had the chance to bathe this way?
• Marth: Ah, er... I... Well, some time ago I visited a spring in another world. I even tried on a yukata...
• Ryoma: Ah! We have yukata in Hoshido. You can tell me all about your experience while we soak. The camaraderie shared by warriors as they bathe naked together—it is quite something, my prince!
• Marth: Er, yes... But... You see... I can't... Er, because...
• Camilla: Perhaps the women's bath would befit you?
• Marth: Er, no... I... Because, well... Er... I'll see you all another time, honorable, towel-clad Heroes!
• Ryoma: What a reserved character, that prince. He left in quite a rush.
• Camilla: Adorable! Hee-hee.

Greil's Request

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Ike: This place, it's...
• Greil: It's chaos caused by the Tempest... or so they say. Here, worlds beyond number all tangle together. ...Even put in those simple terms, though, it isn't something that is easily understood.
• Ike: F-Father? Is that you? You've been brought here too?
• Greil: Yes. I've been waiting for you here. Now, ready your weapon.
• Ike: My weapon? But...I don't see any foes.
• Greil: I'm sorry, Ike, but the cause of all this chaos...is me. You cannot return to your world without first defeating me.
• Ike: But...how can I take up arms against my own father?
• Greil: Worry not. I am not the Greil you know. We have never met. I am a stranger from another world that has become entangled with yours. I am not your father. Now face me. And hold nothing back.
• Ike: But I
• Greil: Ike, listen to me. I've been training my son since he as a young boy. No matter how many times he fell, he always got back up... The same is true for you, is it not?
• Ike: Father, I don't know if I can do this...
• Greil: When you are ready, come find me. I'll be waiting.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Greil: Hmph! ...Well done.
• Ike: You weren't giving it everything you have, were you, Father?
• Greil: A battle is a battle—I always give it my all in the field. It seems, though, that you've grown quite strong, Ike...
• Ike: Please, Father... You don't lose to anyone. Even now, I'm no match for you! Everything I know, I learned from you. I just wanted to show you...how well you taught me... To make you proud.
• Greil: Is that so... Your devotion to your father is admirable. I have no doubt he is proud beyond measure. ...I can feel the Tempest weakening. This is the end, Ike.
• Ike: Father, wait! You can't go yet...
• Greil: Ike, remember this: you have what it takes to become a great warrior... Keep fighting. Keep getting stronger...
• Ike: Goodbye, Father...

To Defy the Gods

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Alfonse (Hares at the Fair): Where...am I?
• Veronica (Regal Rabbits): Askr... I will kill Askr...
• Alfonse (Hares at the Fair): What?
• Veronica (Regal Rabbits): Kill Askr... Kill Askr... Kill... Who...is in...my head? Get...out...
• Bruno (Regal Rabbits): ...
• Veronica (Regal Rabbits): Brother? The voice... My head... It hurts... Be quiet!
• Sharena (Hares at the Fair): She's gone! Did Princess Veronica enter the Tempest?
• Bruno (Regal Rabbits): Yes. We must save the Veronica that is imprisoned within. Alfonse, Sharena... Please, lend me your strength.
• Alfonse (Hares at the Fair): Zacharias... Of course.
• Sharena (Hares at the Fair): Oh, how nice! It's like old times, adventuring with you! I've gotten quite a bit better since those days. Take a good look!
• Alfonse (Hares at the Fair): It is nice, isn't it? To be together again like this... We haven't fought side by side in a long time, friend. And this time, we have Kiran, too. Let's move out!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Veronica (Regal Rabbits): Uhnn... Brother?
• Bruno (Regal Rabbits): It's all right now, Veronica.
• Sharena (Hares at the Fair): There's nothing to worry about now, Princess.
• Bruno (Regal Rabbits): Alfonse, Sharena, Kiran... Thank you. Once again, you've come to our rescue. But I must repeat my tired old line... It's time for me to go.
• Sharena (Hares at the Fair): Must you?
• Bruno (Regal Rabbits): Come now, Sharena. You know I can't delay. The longer I stay with you, the chance that I might slaughter you grows more real... Thanks to my cursed Emblian blood. Askr and Embla are gods...and gods cannot be defied.
• Alfonse (Hares at the Fair): That's not true.
• Bruno (Regal Rabbits): What?
• Alfonse (Hares at the Fair): If Embla is evil...and brings nothing but torment to you... Then we will defeat that god.
• Bruno (Regal Rabbits): Defeat Embla? Impossible... There is no way.
• Alfonse (Hares at the Fair): The gods of our realms are dragons... It is true that they are much more powerful than we are. That said, they are not almighty. There must be a way to defeat them.
• Bruno (Regal Rabbits): You never change. All you see is a lofty goal, even if you lack the means to achieve it... The idea that gods would fall by the hand of man is a fantasy...and a preposterous one. This is a goal that even our ancestors Líf and Thrasir could not achieve.
• Alfonse (Hares at the Fair): Still!
• Bruno (Regal Rabbits): Yet it is you that says this, dear friend, and so I must consider it. I see the faith reflected in your eyes. Perhaps it is possible...
• Alfonse (Hares at the Fair): I have no doubt. And when we do it...will you return to us?
• Bruno (Regal Rabbits): I swear it.

Taste of Spring

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Marth: I think I ought to explain once more... This place...has been consumed by the Tempest's chaos. I need your help to close the vortex that rages at its heart.
• Genny: ...
• Lukas: I think we all understand the situation at hand... It's just...
• Genny: We're not going to have to cancel our picnic, are we? This was our one time to relax... And I was so looking forward to it!
• Marth: W-well, er...
• Lukas: If my understanding is right, we don't need to cancel—we simply have to defeat the vortex! Let's handle it quickly so we can return to our picnic!
• Felicia: Oh no, oh no! We have a problem!
• Lukas: What's the matter, Felicia?
• Felicia: The food I prepared for our picnic turned this strange color! I even got out of bed extra early to work on it... I put everything I have into making it! It MUST be the vortex's doing! Grr... Now I'm really steamed up! You'll never get away with this, you...vortex!
• Marth: I have never seen the vortex produce chaos of such a magnitude... Perhaps we should destroy that dish to start...
• Lukas: I—er... We're with you, Felicia! Let's team up and quell this chaos!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Lukas: The vortex is disappearing... Does that mean we eliminated the source of the chaos?
• Marth: Yes. Thank you, Heroes. This world will see another day because of your efforts.
• Genny: Wow! The sky sure has cleared up and everything... Even Mister Sun has come out!
• Lukas: Hm. Then everything must be returning to normal.
• Felicia: You're right! Even the picnic goodies I made have returned to their original color!
• Marth: Wh-what?! H-how cou— That sickly nightmare purple was the goal? It doesn't even look like anything I would call food...
• Felicia: Heehee... This one turned out way better than my last few attempts. I'm pretty proud of it, actually! Oh! I have an idea! Why don't you join our picnic, Marth? We can all enjoy a nice lunch together!
• Marth: Hrk! Err... N-no, that's, umm... I, uh... I already ate! YES! Yes. I already ate...
• Lukas: Oh, I'm sure you've worked up something of an appetite while we've been taking on the Tempest! C'mon! It's about time we got back to the picnic we came here for!
• Genny: Yay! Time for some fun! C'mon, Marth! Let's go!
• Marth: ... Hear me, Naga... In the name of the exalted blood, I ask for the divine dragon's protection...

The Holy Guard

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Sanaki: Hm... So this is the Tempest, then... It seems like something that should not be left alone. Yet I, too, am alo—
• Sigrun: Empress Sanaki! Are you all right?! I have no excuse! I am sworn to protect you and should have never let you near such danger...
• Sanaki: Sigrun! You are late... If something were to have happened to me, what would you have done?
• Sigrun: I beg your forgiveness, Empress.
• Sanaki: I suppose there was no harm done. Besides, it was I who decided to leave for the festival on my own.
• Tanith: Is that Tempest to blame? If so... Empress Sanaki, Commander, both of you please wait here. I will annihilate the enemy.
• Sanaki: Hm... I will be going as well.
• Tanith: Please—not this again. All I ask is that you sit still, and yet you seem unable, or unWILLING, to do that... '*sigh* I suppose it is better than just letting you wander around...
• Sigrun: Tanith... You aren't speaking to your subordinates right now.
• Tanith: ...Right! As you say! My most sincere apologies to you both!
• Sigrun: W-well then, lead the way, Empress Sanaki. Your Holy Guard will ensure no harm comes to you!
• Sanaki: Good!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Sanaki: That strange vortex seems to be finally disappearing.
• Sigrun: Empress Sanaki, you performed wonderfully. Well done.
• Tanith: You may have tripped on your dress several times, but...overall, very well done.
• Sanaki: Was there ever any doubt? Now, all that's left is to return, but... Well, since I have the chance, there is something I would like to say to the two of you.
• Sigrun: Yes...Empress?
• Sanaki: For always being at my side...even when it is difficult...thank you.
• Sigrun: Please, Empress, such kindness is wasted on us.
• Sanaki: No, I disagree... Kind words alone are not enough. I...do not keep you near because you are my retainers. Quite the opposite, in fact... Because you see... It is difficult for me to put it into words for some reason, but... When it comes to the two of you... You are...important to me.
• Sigrun: Well... I love you too, Empress Sanaki.
• Tanith: ...But why so suddenly? Did the chaos fo the Tempest addle your mind, Empress?
• Sanaki: O-of course not! How insolent! I felt this way for long before we got here... Forget I said anything... Now, Sigrun! Tanith! Let's all return home.
• Sigrun: Yes, Empress. Let's go home.

A Promise of Joy

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Loki: Well, well...there you are, Helbindi. It has been much too long! Wouldn't you agree?
• Helbindi (Summer Returns): You! Why, I'll—
• Loki: Now, now. No need to get all flustered... I've come with some good news for you, after all... Your little sister is in a place of joy.
• Helbindi (Summer Returns): A place of...joy? What's that supposed to mean?
• Loki: A place where she is free from suffering, spending her time without care or worry... Would you...like to see her, Helbindi?
• Helbindi (Summer Returns): ... Princess Laegjarn told me listening to you was no good. Said you like messing with people's minds... She's smarter'n me by a heap and a half, so I'd better stuff my fingers in my ears.
• Loki: If only you had followed directions so well before, dear, maybe your sister would still be alive...
• Helbindi (Summer Returns): Tch... Damn you...
• Loki: Your sister wants to see you. It'd be a shame to keep her waiting! The love siblings share is so beautiful a thing... Even you must have guessed by now. I am not from Múspell, oh no. Rather, a realm beyond... If you know that, you know I can take you to your sister if I so please. I can deliver you to that joyful place... She's been absolutely DYING to see you for so long! The poor thing...
• Helbindi (Summer Returns): ...
• Loki: All I ask in return is that you hear me out. Just one little request... Oh, but wait. Here comes a pesky little rodent. We'll finish this later...
• Ylgr (Summer Returns): Helbindi! There you are! Finally found you. Am I glad! I was so lonely I thought I might die! ...Er, is something wrong?
• Helbindi (Summer Returns): Nah, forget it... It's nothing. Now, let's get out of here already. All we gotta do is bust through this damn vortex. Right?!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Loki: Playtime's over. You do want to see your little sister, don't you? All you have to do is listen to my request... Time to make a choice, Helbindi. What's it going to be? Spit it out!
• Helbindi (Summer Returns): Nope.
• Loki: My, my! What a twist! May I ask why?
• Helbindi (Summer Returns): I crawled out of nothing, and did everything I could just to survive. Nothing was beneath me. I killed anyone in my way and rose up the ranks... I could do it all because I know I'm nothing but filth. That can only mean one thing for sure... If this so-called place of joy is the kind of place my sister would end up... Then a piece of trash like me has no business there.
• Loki: ...
• Helbindi (Summer Returns): Listening to you, helping you... None of that is gonna erase the stuff I've done. You think you have the power to grant me and my sister happiness? Like you know what I deserve? There's no way in hell! You're a liar. But more than that, I don't even care if you're telling the truth. If she's happy, that's good enough. But me? I belong in the pits of hell.
• Loki: My...I do love it when you mortals manage to surprise me. You've only made me want you as my servant even more... Hmph.
• Helbindi (Summer Returns): Sorry, but I got no intention of working for scum like y—
• Ylgr (Summer Returns): There you are! Phew! You keep on disappearing... Wait for me next time! Hey... Is something the matter?
• Helbindi (Summer Returns): Would you pipe down already, brat? Come on, let's get out of here while the gettin's good! Your family must be worried sick about you.
• Ylgr (Summer Returns): Fine, fine! Hee-hee.

Lessons Learned

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Roy: So this gigantic vortex...is our enemy, then...
• Lilina (Summer Refreshes): There he is, Wolt!
• Wolt: Lord Roy!
• Roy: Lilina! Wolt! I'm happy to see you're both safe.
• Lilina (Summer Refreshes): Yes, but...are we the only ones here? I haven't seen anyone else...
• Wolt: Is this really something we can handle on our own, Lord Roy? Just the three of us?
• Roy: I believe we can. It'll be just like old times. Things have worked out thus far—I don't see why they'd stop now!
• Wolt: Hm... Just like old times, huh?
• Roy: Right! Remember when Cecilia taught us about the art of battle during our time studying abroad? The three of us all fought side by side during those sessions, remember? We've been trained for this!
• Wolt: Now that you mention it, that does ring a few bells...
• Lilina (Summer Refreshes): That really brings back memories... By working together, it felt like we were able to overcome anything!
• Roy: Exactly. And that's why, if we work together like that again...
• Lilina (Summer Refreshes): We can definitely take care of some vortex in our way!
• Wolt: That's right! I'm ready to face it head-on now, after all this talk!
• Roy: In that case, let's go! Into the eye of the vortex!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Lilina (Summer Refreshes): The vortex finally seems to be dissipating...
• Roy: Good. Then all our efforts were not in vain.
• Lilina (Summer Refreshes): Just like the old days... Except you're much stronger now than you used to be, Roy... You've come a long way from the absent-minded boy I trained with when I young.
• Roy: I appreciate your kind words, Lilina, but...I have a long way to go yet. Without my friends to support me, I'm nothing. And I'll be the first to admit that. My success now still depends on you, Wolt, and the others—same as it's always been.
• Lilina (Summer Refreshes): How kind of you to say, Roy...
• Wolt: Lord Roy... You honor me.
• Roy: It's the truth! Now...should we start heading back?
• Lilina (Summer Refreshes): Yes! Let's go—together.

A Hero's Mettle

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• ???: The outer gate has been breached! The apostle's army is storming the castle!
• Micaiah (Brave Echoes): Where...am I?
• ???: Maiden of Dawn! The enemy is approaching. Please, you must withdraw inside the castle!
• Micaiah (Brave Echoes): This... This is when Daein's forces were broken, on the verge of defeat... But why?
• Marth: Time and space intermingle...and become distorted. Such is the confusion sowed by the tempest. Queen Micaiah of Daein, the events you once experienced have been engulfed by a maelstrom of chaos. I must ask for your aid in restoring this world to the way it should be.
• Micaiah (Brave Echoes): If we are at that time, in that place...
• Marth: The foe you must overcome now is the selfsame you faced back then: The Radiant Hero, Ike. He is a Brave Hero, just as you are, and one whose tale has become legend...
• Micaiah (Brave Echoes): General Ike... We fought him here, and we lost. His strength is unmatched, yet he is willing to risk everything to save a single life... When one speaks of a "true hero", his name is foremost.
• Marth: Yes.
• Micaiah (Brave Echoes): My heroism pales in comparison... But if it is for the people of Daein, I will fight. Even if my foe is none other than the Radiant Hero...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Marth: And with that, this world is saved... This is all thanks to you. You have my gratitude.
• Micaiah (Brave Echoes): It is I who should thank you. I want nothing more than to save Daein. Prince Marth, I must ask... You have traveled to many realms and met many Heroes, have you not?
• Marth: I have.
• Micaiah (Brave Echoes): Then let me ask you this: what makes a Hero?
• Marth: Well...
• Micaiah (Brave Echoes): I desired to end the suffering of the people. That was my ideal. But in the end, we were driven to a hopeless battle, and I was forced to make a difficult choice. The people found a ray of hope within me. They believed in me. They fought for me. But they were cut down, one after another—punished for that faith. What is a Hero? Can you say that I am one?
• Marth: You must forgive me, but I do not have an answer to the question you first posed. I, too, have found myself in a dire struggle. Many lost their lives, and I felt much the same as you do. Even so...
• Micaiah (Brave Echoes): Yes. Even so...I cannot shrink from my duty. No matter my fate, I must see it through.
• Marth: ...
• Micaiah (Brave Echoes): Perhaps General Ike felt the same way. Heroes tread a path laid with sorrows, indeed...

Till Song's End

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Rinea: Lord Berkut! This way—hurry!
• Berkut: You needn't rush, Rinea. The dance floor will be present all night...
• Rinea: But even one second feels too long to wait when we finally have a chance to dance together! It's like a dream come true... I can hardly believe other worlds throw such wonderful balls!
• Berkut: Hm. Yet I find myself...reluctant. Would His Majesty not prefer I crush his enemies on the battlefield over performing some silly dance?
• Rinea: But...my lord...
• Berkut: ...Oh, never mind. We did not intend to be summoned to this world, after all. We can do as we will for now! Now, shall we put our splendor on display for the collected peasantry? Take my hand, Rinea. Let's go.
• Rinea: Gladly, my lord!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Rinea: Oh, this song...
• Berkut: Ah! The finale is upon us! The ball is drawing to a close.
• Rinea: Yes, I suppose it is... Time enjoyed passes too quickly. I wish that this festival never had to end, so we could keep dancing on and on...
• Berkut: To tell the truth, my aching feet are telling me I've danced enough for a lifetime—or more.
• Rinea: O-oh...really?
• Berkut: Well, I know you, Rinea... You need no festivals to justify dancing—just the song in your heart. And should you wish it, I shall always answer your call for a dance partner. You need only speak the words.
• Rinea: M-my lord...
• Berkut: Even as I grow old, I will always be there for you, Rinea... I refuse to shrivel into some pitiful bag of bones, too crooked to even stand, let alone dance... No! I shall lead you in dance until the very moment I am called into the heavens above.
• Rinea: Oh, Lord Berkut... I understand, and I will gladly follow your lead. My greatest wish is that we might dance together forever. Even should I be carried into the brilliance of heaven or dragged into the very depths of hell... Let us clasp our hands and step boldly forward—no matter what may try to pull us apart.

A Child's Wish

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Lilina (A Monstrous Harvest): Father...what's that swirly storm?
• L'Arachel (A Monstrous Harvest): Fret not, young lady! With me by your side, there's nothing to fear!
• Lilina (A Monstrous Harvest): Umm... Who are you again?
• L'Arachel (A Monstrous Harvest): Ah! Well, since you've asked so nicely, allow me to tell you... I am the beautiful Princess—
• Hector (A Monstrous Harvest): Princess L'Arachel, right? Haven't we crossed paths? At...another festival, no less?
• L'Arachel (A Monstrous Harvest): Oh, er... Yes, I suppose we did, didn't we... (But...my signature introduction...) AHEM! It must be that the gods themselves, in their divine wisdom, have reunited us before this vortex! Come, blessed Heroes! Let us go forth and inspire all future bards with the tales of our exploits!
• Dozla: Gwah ha ha! Spoken well, as always, Princess L'Arachel!
• L'Arachel (A Monstrous Harvest): My dear mother and father nobly gave their lives in the struggle against the wicked. If I am to fight, I shall fight like they did—eyes ever forward and head held high!
• Hector (A Monstrous Harvest): ...
• L'Arachel (A Monstrous Harvest): But enough prattle! We must advance! Forward, gallant Heroes!
• Dozla: I am but yer humble servant... I hear and obey... Gwah ha ha! I've been waitin' for the order!
• Lilina (A Monstrous Harvest): Oh! Umm... Wait... Father... I think they went the wrong way...
• Hector (A Monstrous Harvest): Yes... I think you're right... I'm not sure where they're going to end up, but it seems we're along for the ride... Let's go, Lilina.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Hector (A Monstrous Harvest): Oho! That was a tough one! Everyone still with us?
• L'Arachel (A Monstrous Harvest): We are—thanks to you! I was sure I felt the clammy hand of death on me for an instant... And while I am happy to yet walk amongst the living, you should not have risked yourself so for me. You have a daughter to think of, after all. For her sake, your safety is of utmost importance!
• Hector (A Monstrous Harvest): Hmm... I suppose I can't argue with that...
• L'Arachel (A Monstrous Harvest): ...Hm. So you are the same, after all...
• Hector (A Monstrous Harvest): What's that, now?
• L'Arachel (A Monstrous Harvest): You are just like my father... He, too, was willing to risk everything for his people and his world. You are the same. I can see it in your eyes. I knew the moment I saw them. How could I forget those eyes?
• Hector (A Monstrous Harvest): ...
• L'Arachel (A Monstrous Harvest): It was said that Father fought for his people... He was a hero to the common folk in truest sense. And in return, they praised him. A man of honor... A man of justice... A man of righteousness... But...an end is an end, regardless of the glory. No amount of praise could bring him back to me.
• Hector (A Monstrous Harvest): ...
• L'Arachel (A Monstrous Harvest): A daughter's wish, as her father's child, is always for her father to remain healthy and strong. That is why...I have something important I must ask of you...
• Hector (A Monstrous Harvest): I understand, milady. Allow me to offer this oath: I swear to survive. For Lilina's sake, and for yours.
• L'Arachel (A Monstrous Harvest): Ah! Beautiful! Now, in light of that, we must prepare to meet the future head-on—whatever it holds for us! And there's no better time than the present! Time to train until our muscles burn! ...Follow me!
• Dozla: Gwah ha ha! Now yer talkin'! I'm right behind ya!
• Hector (A Monstrous Harvest): Hm. She's got a knack for getting what she wants out of her troops, doesn't she? ...But I think we've had enough for today, haven't we? Let's go, Lilina.
• Lilina (A Monstrous Harvest): Yes, Father.

Sands of Time

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Igrene: Where...are we? This can't be our Arcadia, can it? No, something is different... Something that reminds me of the past...
• Louise (Bridal Belonging): Igrene!
• Igrene: Hm? L-Lady Louise?! I can't believe it!
• Louise (Bridal Belonging): My, how little Igrene has grown! If only your father Lord Hawkeye could see you. I am sure he would be proud.
• Igrene: Wh-what... What is this place? Lady Louise, you look just as you did 20 years ago...as if no time has passed since I met you as a child... Well, your outfit is a little different...
• Pent (Bridal Belonging): This is called the Tempest. Here, time and space become tangled and distorted... Rather intriguing, isn't it? Perhaps this...is the Arcadia of our time—or, when we last met. For you, it seems 20 years have passed, so to you, this would be the Arcadia of 20 years ago.
• Igrene: Twenty years...
• Pent (Bridal Belonging): Indeed. Now, though I would love to savor this reunion longer, it seems we are short on time. Will you aid us in returning this world to its natural state?
• Louise (Bridal Belonging): Tell me, Igrene. Have you been practicing with the bow I gave you?
• Igrene: Y-yes. It has been some time... Let me show you just how far I've come.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Igrene: The Tempest is disappearing... Lord Pent, Lady Louise, please follow me. ...Hm? Lord Pent? ...Lady Louise?
• Sophia: ...grene... Igrene!
• Igrene: ...Wh-what?
• Sophia: Igrene, are you all right?
• Igrene: This... This is Arcadia... Our Arcadia.
• Sophia: That's right.
• Igrene: So, I'm back... Twenty years have passed... It couldn't have been a dream, could it?
• Sophia: Igrene...are you sure you're all right?
• Igrene: Oh, I'm sorry. I was just dreaming that I met some people I remember fondly. Lord Pent and Lady Louise... I met them when I was very young.
• Fae: Oh! I know them too! I met them when I was left in charge! Back when you were still teeny tiny.
• Igrene: Ah, that's right... You were here, as always, even 20 years ago... Much has happened in the last 20 years, both happy and sad.
• Sophia: Igrene, I ask again, are you s—
• Igrene: I'm all right, Sophia. I'm just...remembering. I want to keep everyone safe, like my father... That's one thing that hasn't changed. For the dream of Arcadia—of humans and dragons living in harmony—I will press on forever.

For a Smile

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Nino (Glorious Gifts): Aww... Of course, just as we were about to get to enjoying ourselves at the Winter Festival! Well, we can't just stand by and watch as this vortex ruins our fun! ...Right, Jaffar?
• Jaffar (Glorious Gifts): I...can't say I care either way.
• Nino (Glorious Gifts): O-oh... Really? Well, it makes me kinda sad... I just really wanted to see all the pretty festival sights together with you, Jaffar...
• Jaffar (Glorious Gifts): The festival...does not interest me. But if the vortex is keeping you from enjoying yourself, I'll take care of it.
• Nino (Glorious Gifts): Oh, Jaffar, you will? Thank you! H-hey, wait! Slow down, Jaffar! You're walking too fast!
• Sothis: Hmm... I suppose this means I ought to come along as well. Seems a bit of a fool's errand otherwise...
• Zephiel: Now, now...this is an opportunity! You, O great progenitor god, have the chance to display your power. I for one would delight to study your battle prowess, that I might glean new skills from doing so.
• Sothis: Hmph. Watch if you like. But you needn't supply me with any more reason to fight. That girl was not the only one keen on enjoying the festival, after all... Now then...let us begin!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Jaffar (Glorious Gifts): It seems we've run out of enemies. The vortex must have dissipated.
• Sothis: Hmph. It was nothing.
• Nino (Glorious Gifts): Sothis! That was...amazing! You're so incredibly strong...
• Sothis: Oh, you're a sweet little girl, aren't you! Feel free to praise me as much as you please.
• Nino (Glorious Gifts): Wait—"little girl"? Aren't we...around the same age? I, uh... Hm.
• Zephiel: Ah! Look. The town is aglow once more. The festival must have resumed. Shall we return?
• Jaffar (Glorious Gifts): Now we can enjoy the festival, right?
• Nino (Glorious Gifts): Yes, let's! After all that fighting, I bet we could all use a bite to eat!
• Zephiel: Eating commoner fare from a festival stand... Is such an act permissible for the Prince of Bern? I wonder...
• Sothis: Do not overthink it. Even the greatest among you is little more than one of the masses next to a god...
• Nino (Glorious Gifts): Enough talking about it. I'm getting hungrier by the second! Let's get going, Jaffar!
• Jaffar (Glorious Gifts): ...Right.

Mid-fest Digest

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Sharena (Renewed Spirit): Oh my goodness... Alfonse... My stomach! It's sooo full!
• Alfonse (Renewed Spirit): Well, I did warn you not to eat so much, didn't I?
• Sharena (Renewed Spirit): But...New Year's celebrations always have heaps and heaps of delicious food... What was I supposed to do?! Oof... I feel like I'm going to burst!
• Selkie (Renewed Spirit): Same here! We both ate so much, I'm not sure who put away more! Urp... I don't feel so good...
• Lethe (Renewed Spirit): ...These outfits are nice and all, but would anyone mind if I changed clothes already? It's...a bit tight.
• Alfonse (Renewed Spirit): Wow. You too, Lethe?
• Eir (Renewed Spirit): I feel perfectly fine, but...I suppose I didn't eat quite as much as you all.
• Sharena (Renewed Spirit): Ugh... If we could just burn all this off—or at least digest it... But how?
• Anna: Listen up, everyone! Sorry to interrupt the New Year's festivities, but something has come up! As much as I hate to send anyone out onto the battlefield in the middle of a celebration...
• Sharena (Renewed Spirit): Oh! That sort of physical activity may be just what I need to work through all this food... Count me in!
• Selkie (Renewed Spirit): Me too! No better way to boost digestion than a nice battle!
• Lethe (Renewed Spirit): I'll join too! Can't let everyone else hog all the glory just because I've eaten a good meal, can I?!
• Anna: Whoa! I didn't expect you all to be so fired up! What happened? Was it something you ate?

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Sharena (Renewed Spirit): We did it! The strange vortex thing is fading away!
• Alfonse (Renewed Spirit): Then that's all taken care of. Thank you for all your help, everyone.
• Selkie (Renewed Spirit): It was nothin'! Besides, all that moving around settled all the grub in my tummy. So thank YOU!
• Lethe (Renewed Spirit): This getup doesn't feel quite so tight anymore—it's a bit easier to move in now. It's actually...kind of pleasant.
• Alfonse (Renewed Spirit): Yes, well...the fact that you're all feeling better is what matters most.
• Eir (Renewed Spirit): Yes...
• Sharena (Renewed Spirit): Whew! With all that fighting, I seem to have worked up a whole new appetite! Let's get back and dig in!
• Selkie (Renewed Spirit): Don't have to tell me twice!
• Lethe (Renewed Spirit): Yeah, not a bad idea, actually...
• Alfonse (Renewed Spirit): Wait—what?! But I thought—
• Sharena (Renewed Spirit): Hurry up, Brother! All those New Year's dishes aren't going to eat themselves, you know!
• Alfonse (Renewed Spirit): Hm. Never a dull moment, I suppose! Here's to another interesting year...

Mirage Vortex

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Tsubasa: We made it to the concert hall! Wait... This is a different feel than was discussed in our meeting... Did we switch production companies?
• Itsuki: I think it's more than that... Look. At some point, we changed into our Carnage Forms.
• Tsubasa: Y-you're right! If I have this lance, it means Caeda transformed, but...why? Did we enter an Idolasphere?
• Kiria: No. This has to be caused by the tempest.
• Tsubasa: K-Kiria?! You're here too? Did you... come to watch me performance? Aww, just imagining tha—
• Eleonora: Is this really the best time?! We have an emergency on our hands!
• Mamori: Not even becoming an idol could change you, Tsubasa...
• Itsuki: Ellie? And Mamori? You're both here as well? What's going on?
• Kiria: According to Tharja, this is caused by some kind of "vortex." It seems it twists reality somehow.
• Itsuki: Reality...itself?
• Mamori: Yep. And there's some leader type we must be defeat before we can return to where we came from...
• Tsubasa: So...we can't get back? H-hey! Wait a minute! I can't be stuck here! I have a show to do!
• Eleonora: Now you get it.
• Tsubasa: Wh-what should we do, Itsuki?! I worked so hard preparing for this show!
• Itsuki: We'll figure something out, Tsubasa. Let's just keep our focus and start looking for this leader to defeat...
• Eleonora: That's right. The sooner we defeat them, the sooner we'll be able to get back to where we came from. No matter what, we'll find a way to get to your show in time. It'll be just like in the movies!
• Mamori: Yeah! As long as we work together, we'll get Tsubasa to her performance on time!
• Tsubasa: Aww... You guys! So sweet...
• Itsuki: It's settled then. Let's go!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Itsuki: Looks like the vortex is fading away... We should be able to return now.
• Mamori: It'll be close, but...I think Tsubasa should be able to make it to her show on time!
• Tsubasa: Thank you, everyone. You all have worked so hard just for me. I just can't thank you enough.
• Eleonora: Don't worry about it.
• Tsubasa: ...H-huh?
• Eleonora: We don't need thanking. We're all close enough to just help each other when the time comes, right?
• Itsuki: That's right. Just like Ellie said. But... if you really want to say thanks, there is ONE thing you could do, right?
• Tsubasa: ...Oh! You're right! To thank you all for your kind support, I'll make sure my show goes off without a hitch!
• Kiria:That's right, Tsubasa. I want to see your best performance out there!
• Mamori: You'll do great—trust us! We've all seen how hard you've worked to get to where you are!
• Itsuki: It's true. Now, get out there! All your fans are waiting!

Romance Whirlwind

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Faye (Lovely Gifts): Here it is, Alm—my gift to you! Bask in a pile of the best steaks available on the market!
• Alm (Lovely Gifts): Uh, thanks, Faye. This sure is, ah... quite the steak pile.
• Marth: Not to interrupt the festivities, such as they are, but there's something important you need to know...
• Silque: Wait, Faye! You and I have yet to exchange gifts. Please accept this token of my affection.
• Faye (Lovely Gifts): Oh! I'd almost forgot. Thank you, Silque. Here's what I've got for you!
• Silque: You're too kind!
• Conrad: Anthiese! Where are you, Anthiese? The Day of Devotion isn't complete until you've received my present!
• Marth: Please, listen! The Tempest's chaos rages unabated as we speak! Our lives are at risk while it continues!
• Celica (Lovely Gifts): Alm, if that's true, we could come under attack at any moment!
• Alm (Lovely Gifts): In the middle of the Day of Devotion? I won't stand for this. Let's go, Celica!
• Faye (Lovely Gifts): Where Alm goes, I go too!
• Silque: I'm right behind you!
• Conrad: Me too! Let me just—oh, right, I left my mask behind, didn't I? Nothing to be done about that, I suppose. Wait for me, Anthiese!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Celica (Lovely Gifts): The Tempest is fading. I think that's the end of it.
• Alm (Lovely Gifts): What an ordeal. We're lucky to come out of it in one piece.
• Faye (Lovely Gifts): What was that thing?
• Silque: This place is home to all manner of extraordinary mysteries. Your guess is as good as mine.
• Conrad: Whatever it was, let's not allow it to dampen our festivities any further! May I have this dance, Anthiese?
• Celica (Lovely Gifts): Well said, dear brother! We should enjoy this day. I'd be delighted!
• Faye (Lovely Gifts): You must have worked up an appetite in all that fighting, Alm. Let me get you some more steak!
• Alm (Lovely Gifts): Uh, sure... Thanks, Faye...
• Silque: Hey, Faye! Let's get back to that merchant stall we were looking to visit earlier!
• Marth: They're still completely distracted... Ah, well. It worked out in the end, I suppose.

Full-Bloom Bout

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Est: Okay, I get it! So basically we just have to destroy that vortex? Right?
• Marth: Correct. I know you had plans to enjoy the festival, but may I ask for your assistance in this endeavor?
• Fir: Of course! I'll never sit idle and let people get hurt, no matter who or what stands in the way of my blade.
• Bartre: Attagirl! You need muscle, so I'll join!
• Fae (Dragonkin Duo): Look at it spin! Is it gonna go BOOM?
• Idunn (Dragonkin Duo): Boom?
• Narcian: Psh. This task is beneath me... And these people expect me to fight alongside that so-called "dragon"?
• Idunn (Dragonkin Duo): So-called?
• Narcian: A trivial affair like this is a distraction from ME and my beauty! I am the true embodiment of spring itself!
• Fae (Dragonkin Duo): C'mon everyone. Let's gooo!
• Narcian: Gah! D-don't pull me!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Fir: We did it! The vortex is disappearing!
• Bartre: That's right! Our father-daughter bond can conquer any hell portal!
• Marth: Thank you, everyone. We managed to save this world from destruction.
• Est: I'm so glad. My sisters will be proud!
• Fae (Dragonkin Duo): Bye-bye, whirly-whirl! Do you think it'll come back?
• Idunn (Dragonkin Duo): If it does, then all of us together will...
• Narcian: Nonsense! I will not waste ANY more of my precious time on such insignificant matters!
• Marth: Well, I bid you all farewell. Please, return to your merry-making.
• Est: Hey, Marth... Do you wanna come have fun with us?
• Marth: Me? No, I mustn't...
• Fae (Dragonkin Duo): Let's go play! Woo-hoo!
• Marth: H-hey, no pulling! I concede.

Iote's Return

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Michalis: ...
• Minerva: Brother!
• Michalis: Minerva? No. You're...younger. A Minerva from an earlier time than I.
• Minerva: Then, that makes you...a version of my brother from my future. Yes, I see it now. Your maturity, your strength...all befitting a king of Macedon. Truly you are Iote reborn!
• Michalis: Enough.
• Minerva: Have I...somehow given offense?
• Michalis: Indeed you have. Your empty platitudes make me sick. You disgust me.
• Minerva: How can you say such things? And with such hatred in your eyes...
• Michalis: ...
• Minerva: The brother I know is firm, but there is care in his eyes...eyes that shine with hope for Macedon's future. What could have transpired between my time and yours to change him so? What darkness does my future hold?!
• Michalis: This is fruitless.
• Minerva: Stop! You can't simply leave me here! Please, tell me!
• Michalis: You truly wish to know? Fine. I murdered our father. I may as well have killed you too. Now, unless you'd like to meet such a fate early...I suggest you leave me.
• Minerva: Brother...
• Michalis: I am not your brother. Get out of my sight.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Michalis: Defeated, but... Perhaps free from this curse...at last...
• Minerva: Brother...
• Michalis: I told you before, Minerva... I am no brother of yours. Not anymore...
• Minerva: But you are! The brother I love yet lives, even buried underneath that hard exterior. I know it. You were harsh when last we met, but I understand now you were only trying to warn me. And in this battle, you held back. You sacrificed yourself to ensure victory...for me.
• Michalis: Ridiculous...
• Minerva: You told me that you murdered Father. You said that you may as well have killed me. Perhaps we are indeed on that path right now.
• Michalis: We are.
• Minerva: Yet it does not have to be so! We may have another future—instead of or even beyond that one! We may yet make peace with one another!
• Michalis: Perhaps... Impossible to say. But if that is what you believe... There is only one way to find out. You will have to work toward that future. To see it for yourself. For me, there is no more hope...
• Minerva: Brother...

A Waltz Unending

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Micaiah (Dawn Wind's Duo): Hi, Sothe!
• Sothe (Dawn Wind's Duo): You're in high spirits, Micaiah.
• Micaiah (Dawn Wind's Duo): I am! I feel full of life today. Let's attribute it to these lovely clothes.
• Sothe (Dawn Wind's Duo): Don't give them too much credit. They've mostly made me feel weird.
• Micaiah (Dawn Wind's Duo): Try to relax. We deserve to enjoy ourselves once in a while, don't we? Look—everyone's pairing off. See the way the colors swirl together as they dance? Isn't it eye-catching? Come on. Let's join them.
• Sothe (Dawn Wind's Duo): Micaiah, I don't think I can... I mean those people are...
• Micaiah (Dawn Wind's Duo): Hm? They're what?
• Sothe (Dawn Wind's Duo): Never mind. Let's go.
• Micaiah (Dawn Wind's Duo): Oh, Sothe... Always keeping secrets.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Micaiah (Dawn Wind's Duo): Phew... Enough dancing for now. Let's take a break, shall we?
• Sothe (Dawn Wind's Duo): Thought you'd never ask.
• Micaiah (Dawn Wind's Duo): Quite the festival, isn't it? It's been very popular with the couples. I wonder how many are married. They all look so happy—like they're ready to spend their lives together...
• Sothe (Dawn Wind's Duo): Yeah. They're nauseating.
• Micaiah (Dawn Wind's Duo): What?! Why?
• Sothe (Dawn Wind's Duo): Because, they... Look, they make me think about how unlike them we are. All I can think about is how, even though we're together now, we will inevitably be separated again. The thought turns my stomach.
• Micaiah (Dawn Wind's Duo): Sothe... I'm thinking about it too. I'm jealous of these couples who have so much time on their hands. But the happiness we share now, dancing hand in hand... For the time being, at least, it's the same as theirs.
• Sothe (Dawn Wind's Duo): Micaiah...
• Micaiah (Dawn Wind's Duo): There will always be a final farewell. Why should we let the future be the enemy of the present? We owe it to ourselves to make some happy memories now, so that we might cherish them later. That's all we can do.
• Sothe (Dawn Wind's Duo): You're right. We should make the most of our time together.
• Micaiah (Dawn Wind's Duo): Dance with me, then. I want to hold on to you as long as I can.

Summer Two-Piece

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Mia (Harmonic Blades): Yahoo! The beach!
• Marth (Harmonic Blades): Indeed we are here...
• Mia (Harmonic Blades): Oh, c'mon, Marth! Aren't you even a little bit happy to be at the BEACH?
• Marth (Harmonic Blades): Forgive me. I was truly looking forward to this, but now that I'm here, I feel troubled.
• Mia (Harmonic Blades): What? It's not complicated. We're here to enjoy ourselves! That's it.
• Marth (Harmonic Blades): My mind can't help but linger on the fact that a peaceful day like this could never exist in my home world.
• Mia (Harmonic Blades): Oh...
• Marth (Harmonic Blades): Darkness consumed everything. Not a day had passed without bloodshed. Peace was a mere fleeting thought. And the ones I held dear to my heart, they all...
• Mia (Harmonic Blades): I see. It all makes sense. That means we've got to have the best beach day ever now!
• Marth (Harmonic Blades): Huh?
• Mia (Harmonic Blades): You were summoned here for a reason. Let's make the most of it! Having fun is my specialty so I'll show you the ropes!
• Marth (Harmonic Blades): Mia, you have my thanks.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Mia (Harmonic Blades): Look, Marth! You won't believe it! This food stall is selling shaved ice with sweet syrup drizzled on top.
• Marth (Harmonic Blades): M-Mia! Do you mind if we take a moment to rest for a bit? You spun me a few too many times before I hit that watermelon. It seems the dizziness has caught up with me.
• Mia (Harmonic Blades): Haha, sorry. I started giving folks a few more spins 'cause everybody here is just way too strong! Don't worry. You did fine, and we even had some pieces left to eat!
• Marth (Harmonic Blades): Oh, hm. Well, I'm glad I could be of service. That watermelon was quite delicious.
• Mia (Harmonic Blades): It was, wasn't it? And the beach has so much more fun to offer. Just you wait! At dusk, we'll grill up meat skewers, lie down by the fire, and look out for shooting stars to wish on!
• Marth (Harmonic Blades): Mia, thank you for everything. You've always been so kind to me. How could I ever repay you?
• Mia (Harmonic Blades): Woah, don't get sappy now! I'm no good at this sentimental stuff. I just figured 'cause your home world sounded so rough, if I took your mind off of it, I'd finally see you smile. And that means I get to have more fun too. So we both win!
• Marth (Harmonic Blades): Understood. I'll shed no more tears. Instead, I'll follow your lead and make the most of this summer!
• Mia (Harmonic Blades): Now you're talking! Shaved ice, here we come!

Sandy Struggle

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Dorothea (Overseas Memories): C'mon, Professor. Join me for a dip in the ocean!
• Lorenz: Ahem. Your guidance is quite unnecessary, Dorothea. She will be accompanying me.
• Ingrid (Overseas Memories): What are you talking about? The professor is going swimming with US.
• Sylvain (Overseas Memories): Ingrid's right. Step aside, lesser houses.
• Byleth: Uh...
• Rhea: My, my. Byleth, you are quite popular.
• Lorenz: I think it's YOU who ought to leave, Sylvain. Read the room. A noble, at least, should know when to quit.
• Dorothea (Overseas Memories): Was that a jab at me, perchance?
• Lorenz: N-no, not at all.
• Ingrid (Overseas Memories): Let's stop bickering. The Professor can decide for herself.
• Sylvain (Overseas Memories): Ah, a fine idea. Well, Professor, whom will you join for a swim?

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Ingrid (Overseas Memories): Ah! The ocean's a lot colder than I expected. But, it feels so refreshing!
• Dorothea (Overseas Memories): Oh, Ingrid. You are just too cute.
• Lorenz: What do you think of that lady over there, Sylvain?
• Sylvain (Overseas Memories): Already got my eyes on her. And look, she's noticed me too! Time for me to make my moves.
• Lorenz: Nonsense! She's ogling at my refined nobility. I'll be the one to charm her.
• Sylvain (Overseas Memories): Surely she'd prefer a fun guy like me instead of someone full of hot air!
• Dorothea (Overseas Memories): Hey, you two! The Professor said no fighting. We're supposed to be enjoying ourselves.
• Lorenz: Hm. Then I suppose we'll let bygones be bygones. Shall we head over together?
• Sylvain (Overseas Memories): ...Fine.
• Rhea: They're all getting along swimmingly. You must be so pleased, Byleth.
• Byleth: I am. The different classes are mingling cordially.
• Rhea: It's nothing short of a miracle that students hailing from other countries can all unite under one academy. And now that we're in a new world for summer break, we cannot let the goddess's blessing go to waste.
• Dorothea (Overseas Memories): Hey, Professor! What're you standing around for? Come and join us!
• Lorenz: Agreed, you haven't even gone in the water yet!
• Byleth: Coming!

Royal Treasures

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Xander (Harmonic Pirates): Princess Veronica.
• Veronica (Harmonic Pirates): Yes, Xander?
• Xander (Harmonic Pirates): I've thought of a way to make this festival enjoyable for you. Seeing as one of the main interests of pirates is in recovering lost riches... I thought you might enjoy a little treasure hunt.
• Veronica (Harmonic Pirates): What am I hunting, exactly?
• Xander (Harmonic Pirates): That's a surprise. I've hidden it nearby, so feel free to begin your search at any time.
• Veronica (Harmonic Pirates): I admit, I am curious...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Veronica (Harmonic Pirates): A lone chest in the middle of the forest. Suspicious... This is your hidden treasure, isn't it, Xander?
• Xander (Harmonic Pirates): Well done. Open it up.
• Veronica (Harmonic Pirates): Tea leaves... And two cups as well...
• Xander (Harmonic Pirates): For you and Prince Bruno to share, upon his return.
• Veronica (Harmonic Pirates): The cups are nicely colored. And the tea smells...nice. I admit, I'm...pleased. Thank you, Xander.
• Xander (Harmonic Pirates): My pleasure.
• Veronica (Harmonic Pirates): To show my appreciation...let me brew you a cup. Would you take tea with me?
• Xander (Harmonic Pirates): This is a gift for you and your family, Princess. I cannot accept.
• Veronica (Harmonic Pirates): I insist.
• Xander (Harmonic Pirates): In that case...very well. You know, this reminds me of my own siblings. They often made tea for me.
• Veronica (Harmonic Pirates): I would like to hear of them.
• Xander (Harmonic Pirates): Then I will tell you a few stories as we take our tea.

Dancing Affinity

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Lachesis (To Stay Dreaming): Come now, Brother! Join me for another dance!
• Eldigan (To Stay Dreaming): Lachesis... You have danced as my partner most of the night. Why not join someone else?
• Lachesis (To Stay Dreaming): I would rather not! I will continue dancing with my brother, if it is all the same to you.
• Eldigan (To Stay Dreaming): Look around. Do you not see the flame of envy flaring in the eyes of all the gentlemen here? They want to dance with you... And have been waiting ever so patiently for the chance.
• Lachesis (To Stay Dreaming): I should dance with someone ignorant of the lineage of Nordion's royal princess? I think not! And it would be insensitive of me to disturb Lord Sigurd and Deirdre in the midst of their affection. As with Quan and Ethlyn as well... Alas, dear brother, there truly is no one to dance with outside of you.
• Eldigan (To Stay Dreaming): ...I suppose I have no choice then.
• Lachesis (To Stay Dreaming): Oh, I am so glad! The next song has already begun. Shall we?

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Eldigan (To Stay Dreaming): ...
• Lachesis (To Stay Dreaming): ...Brother? Something on your mind?
• Eldigan (To Stay Dreaming): Never mind me.
• Lachesis (To Stay Dreaming): If you refuse to tell me, I am forced to guess! Could it have something to do with my sister-in-law, perhaps?
• Eldigan (To Stay Dreaming): ...Yes. She has been through too much, and because of me. If I am to dance and feast here, I ought to consider the hardship I have caused her.
• Lachesis (To Stay Dreaming): Even alone with me, his mind is ever somewhere else, with someONE else. I can never have him all to mysel—
• Eldigan (To Stay Dreaming): ...What was that, Lachesis?
• Lachesis (To Stay Dreaming): Hm? Oh, I was just thinking aloud! ...When we return home, we ought to throw a ball just like this one. Everyone could don their best attire, and we could all dance together... I imagine that would make dear sister-in-law quite happy.
• Eldigan (To Stay Dreaming): A marvelous idea. Thank you, Lachesis. I appreciate your insight here.
• Lachesis (To Stay Dreaming): Think nothing of it! Your happiness is my happiness, Brother.
• Eldigan (To Stay Dreaming): Lachesis... You are the most caring sister anyone could hope to have. I am happy to call you my sister.
• Lachesis (To Stay Dreaming): Hee hee...

Ever Two Halves

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Robin (Dragons Harvest): Finally... Alone. Why do these humans insist on calling upon me? In the middle of this foolish festival, no less. Something isn't right... Is it because of the summoning? I still have my powers, but...
• Chrom: Robin? Is that you?
• Robin (Dragons Harvest): You?
• Chrom: So you were summoned to this festival, were you? That's good. I hope you enjoy yourself!
• Robin (Dragons Harvest): Fool! To think that I would enjoy this...frivolity...
• Chrom: Hah! Take a look at yourself! In a costume like that, you're far from convincing, friend.
• Robin (Dragons Harvest): I... I did not choose this garb. I am not the Robin that you know. You would do well to keep your distance, human.
• Chrom: Hey, Robin! Wait a minute!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Robin (Dragons Harvest): ...
• Chrom: So this is where you went. I've been looking all over for you.
• Robin (Dragons Harvest): Everywhere I go, offensive festivities. And as for you, please... do not concern yourself with me. I...
• Chrom: I understand. You're not my Robin.
• Robin (Dragons Harvest): You know this? Then why...
• Chrom: There are others of me here too. I can tell—our worlds are rather different, aren't they? I don't know a thing about your world, but if you have even a little bit of Robin's heart in there... No matter which Robin you are, here in Askr, you are my friend. We're two halves of a whole...
• Robin (Dragons Harvest): Pretty words... Which have no effect on me as I am. They fall flat. If not for the contract with the summoner, I could even kill you now... As I did then.
• Chrom: As you did when?
• Robin (Dragons Harvest): I can see that you do not understand. In my world, you are dead... I betrayed you, and drove this very hand through your heart.
• Chrom: And then what happened?
• Robin (Dragons Harvest): ... You looked at me...your murderer... and said, "It's not your fault." So tender. So nauseating. I was overcome... Overcome with hatred.
• Chrom: ...
• Robin (Dragons Harvest): Does a shred of the me who shared a bond with you exist in my heart, beyond Grima's reach? Hoping against hope...is pointless. Do not speak to me again. I do not wish to recall these feelings...
• Chrom: Robin...

Ninja Novices

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Hana: Princess Laevatein!
• Laevatein: Your name is...Hana, correct? What do you need of me?
• Hana: I have something to ask of you. Are you willing to engage in some ninja-style "investigations"?
• Laevatein: Hm? Investigations? What do you want investigated?
• Hana: Well, there's a tournament coming up related to the ninja festival. The strongest entrants appear to be Navarre, Zihark, and then Lyn and Florina—who've entered as a team. If we can learn anything about them before the fighting starts, we might be able to get an advantage!
• Laevatein: I see. My sister would agree that knowing your enemy is important. I will go along with it.
• Hana: All right! Then let's get investigating! Actually, wait... Hmmm... We might have a bit of a problem. Lyn and Florina are always together, and Navarre is terrifying... Maybe we should focus on Zihark?
• Laevatein: I've heard a little about Zihark. He sounds like a good place to start investigating.
• Hana: Then it's decided! Let's prowl through the shadows like the ninja we are. Sneaky, stealthy...
• Laevatein: Sneaky. Stealthy.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Hana: ...
• Laevatein: ...
• Zihark: Oh, Hana, Princess Laevatein! You two look a bit glum. Is there something wrong?
• Hana: Ah! Z-Zihark!
• Zihark: Whoa! No need to be spooked! Now, what happened? Festivals are for having fun and enjoying your chance to dress up, not moping around!
• Hana: Well, you see... Oh, I'm sorry, Zihark! We were were just investigating you, and we—
• Zihark: Me? Why investigate me?
• Hana: Well, since we're dressed as ninja, we wanted to do something that felt properly ninja-like... And we thought maybe we could get an advantage in the tournament too...
• Laevatein: But we discovered more than we intended... About your past. About your former love...
• Zihark: Ah. Well, there are some around here who already know all about that, I suppose.
• Hana: We're sorry for digging into your past, Zihark! We didn't intend to investigate your love life... Oh! I know how to fix it! If we just hit each other on the head really hard, we'll forget about it, and—
• Zihark: That won't be necessary. But I'd recommend not investigating into me any further, all right?
• Hana: Of course. Again, we apologize. We brought painful memories to the surface, I'm sure...
• Zihark: No need to worry. It's not as if I want to forget her. I treasure the time the two of us spent together. Even now, I wrap myself in those happy memories whenever I can. Maybe I'm just the nostalgic type.
• Laevatein: I understand.
• Zihark: We must have something in common then... But still! A festival is no place to be so gloomy. We should enjoy it!
• Hana: You're right. Thank you, Zihark. I'll see you at the tournament! I'm bringing everything I've got.
• Zihark: Then I'll be sure to do the same. I'll look forward to it! For now, I'll be on my way, though. See you!
• Hana: Phew! We're lucky Zihark is such a kind person.
• Laevatein: He reminds me of my sister... Kind, understanding of others' pain, and incredibly strong...
• Hana: That's true. It's a particular kind of strength I'd like to aspire to... We both use swords, after all! Though, I don't get the same kind of respect he gets. Well, I guess I'll just have to beat him in the tournament! Let's go give it our best, Princess Laevatein.
• Laevatein: Right!

Burden of Gifts

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Bernadetta (A Festival Miracle): Hmph... Why do I have to get involved with the festival?! There are so many strangers! It's terrifying!
• Hilda: Yeah... That's right! Why do I have to lug all these heavy presents around? Shouldn't it be someone strong? Or someone with the endurance of a racehorse? Why US? Ugh!
• Felix (A Festival Miracle): You can't fool me with your little defenseless-child act. I'm not exactly pleased either, but... I cannot defy the summoner's orders. Since there's no use complaining, the best strategy is to hurry up and be done with it.
• Hilda: Mrgh... I guess we have no choice. C'mon, Bernie. Time to stop hiding. Don't make me drag you along...
• Bernadetta (A Festival Miracle): Waahhh! Oh no! Somebody, help me!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Hilda: Aaand here you go. This is a present from me to you. Treasure it for the rest of your life, OK? Hey, Bernadetta, there's one over there, just waiting for you.
• Bernadetta (A Festival Miracle): R-r-right! Here. It's a gift! Er, for the festival. N-no need to thank me!
• Felix (A Festival Miracle): Here, take this. ...What? No! I don't want any gifts from you in return. Hey! I have no need for sweets! Come back here! Curses...
• Hilda: Whew! I'm exhausted... We're done now, aren't we?
• Bernadetta (A Festival Miracle): I-it's over... I'm no longer burdened by any higher obligation!
• Felix (A Festival Miracle): Hey, you two, take this. Split it.
• Hilda: Hm? Sweets? Sweets! Yes! Hey, Bernie, we've got sweets!
• Bernadetta (A Festival Miracle): Oh, and they're so cute too... Not too cute to eat though!
• Hilda: Even if it was rather onerous, it was not entirely void of fun, was it? Giving to others rarely ever feels bad, I suppose...
• Bernadetta (A Festival Miracle): Y-you're right, though! I've never had so many people thank me before in my life... It would've been better if I didn't have to give them the presents face-to-face, though...
• Hilda: I agree. It'd be great if there were some kind of magic that could send a gift wherever you wanted... I guess we're already done, so there's no sense wishing it went differently. So forget it! Time for tea and sweets!
• Bernadetta (A Festival Miracle): Good idea! I'll go curl up in my room and enjoy a nice pot of hot tea...
• Hilda: Hey now! Tea is best enjoyed with others!
• Bernadetta (A Festival Miracle): Gah! Let go of me! Y-you can't just scruff the back of my neck, Hilda! I-I'm not a cat!
• Hilda: You're coming too, Felix. I know you wouldn't be seen eating sweets, but you'll have some tea with us, right?
• Felix (A Festival Miracle): No, no. I think I'm... Achoo!
• Hilda: See? You need to get warmed up! Being stubborn won't help.
• Felix (A Festival Miracle): Guh... Fine. One cup.
• Bernadetta (A Festival Miracle): Wait, Felix is coming too?! Oh no... No, I can't! It's too many people! Oh no-no-no-no...
• Felix (A Festival Miracle): ...Did you say something, Bernie?
• Bernadetta (A Festival Miracle): N-no! Of course not...

New Treasures

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Kaden (Beyond Dreaming): What to do, what to do...
• Selkie (Renewed Spirit): Hi, Daddy! I'm home!
• Kaden (Beyond Dreaming): Hey, Selkie! Did you have fun playing outside?
• Selkie (Renewed Spirit): Tons! Maybe a little bit too much, actually. Hehe...look.
• Kaden (Beyond Dreaming): That is certainly a broken...thing.
• Selkie (Renewed Spirit): It used to be a hagoita! Oh, and the kite got stuck in a tree... I guess I'm all out of stuff to play with.
• Kaden (Beyond Dreaming): Selkie, that's it! You're a genius!
• Selkie (Renewed Spirit): Huh? I am?

(screen fades)

• Keaton (Beyond Dreaming): Yes! This kite is destroyed almost beyond recognition! It's a work of art!
• Velouria (Beyond Dreaming): This hagoita is perfect... Look at the splinters...
• Kaden (Beyond Dreaming): I'm so glad we found a way to cheer you two up. It's all thanks to Selkie!
• Selkie (Renewed Spirit): I still don't get it. What'd I do?
• Kaden (Beyond Dreaming): There was a big cleanup effort recently, and all the stuff these two had been collecting got thrown out. It was an accident, but it still put them in a bad mood—and right around New Year's too.
• Selkie (Renewed Spirit): I guess it would be pretty easy to mistake Velouria's collection of treasures for, um...garbage.
• Kaden (Beyond Dreaming): I was at a loss for how to help when your appetite for destruction came along to save the day. Not only did you get to play your heart out, you got to make a wonderful gift for our friends!
• Velouria (Beyond Dreaming): Thank you, Selkie. I'll treasure this hagoita for the rest of my life.
• Keaton (Beyond Dreaming): Yeah, thanks! Hey—that gives me an idea, Velouria!
• Velouria (Beyond Dreaming): What is it, Daddy?
• Keaton (Beyond Dreaming): Whenever we run low on treasures... we can just make our own! I can't believe I didn't think of it before. Say... There's a tournament going on now, isn't there? Think of all the stuff we could break!
• Velouria (Beyond Dreaming): Great idea, Daddy! We don't even need to win... We can make our own prize!
• Kaden (Beyond Dreaming): Oh no. What have we done...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Keaton (Beyond Dreaming): Behold our conquest! Gaze upon our mountain of treasure!
• Velouria (Beyond Dreaming): A shattered shield... A snapped lance... A ripped cape... So many New Year's gifts. Rest now, paws. You've done well.
• Kaden (Beyond Dreaming): Well, you two are about as happy as I've ever seen you, so that's good. We probably shouldn't let that commander find out you broke all this stuff on purpose, though.
• Anna: Broke what on purpose, now?
• Keaton (Beyond Dreaming): Hi, Commander Anna!
• Kaden (Beyond Dreaming): Gah! She's here!
• Anna: I did find it odd you were both so focused on breaking your opponents' stuff instead of...y'know. Winning.
• Keaton (Beyond Dreaming): Hehehe...
• Anna: It's OK. I'm not mad. We were the ones who threw your collection away by accident, so what happened today was on us.
• Kaden (Beyond Dreaming): Phew... I was sure we were in for a real rough start to the year...
• Velouria (Beyond Dreaming): Thanks, Commander Anna...
• Anna: Sure. In return, though, I'm going to ask you both to put in work equal to the cost of what you broke. Deal?
• Keaton (Beyond Dreaming): You got it! We'll shred our enemies apart faster than you can blink! You'll be glad these claws and teeth are working for you, Commander!
• Anna: You bet I will. With this year's budget, I'll take every bare-handed fighter I can get...

Love of Family

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Raphael: Huh?! What's this? I've never seen anything like it... I'll take this one too! And please gift wrap it for me!
• Lene: Aha! There you are... Dorothea! He's over there!
• Dorothea (Dark Desert Rituals): What are you doing, Raph?! C'mon! The only reason we're in Plegia is for the mission. Don't forget it!
• Raphael: It's just that the festival stalls are selling all these things I've never seen before. I thought my sis would like it if I bought her some souvenirs, but there are so many! I can't stop!
• Lene: Souvenirs for your sister, eh? A skull with some...dried grass on it? And a stuffed scorpion?!
• Dorothea (Dark Desert Rituals): That's no way to treat a sister, Raph... Don't you think she'd be happier if you got her something cute?
• Raphael: These aren't cute? Aw... I guess I don't understand what's cute and what isn't.
• Lene: All right, I'll help you pick things out. Just leave it to me! Cuteness is one of my specialties!
• Dorothea (Dark Desert Rituals): Wait—now you're getting involved?
• Lene: What's the harm, Dorothea? We can help him get a gift for his sister...
• Dorothea (Dark Desert Rituals): Looks like I have no choice. I suppose it's fine if it's for your sister, Raph...
• Raphael: Wow, thank you! I owe you one. Both of you!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Dorothea (Dark Desert Rituals): How about...a jewel necklace? Some flower-patterned cloth? Maybe an incense burner, annnd...candy?
• Lene: Perfect! And what about this? These dried flowers have a lovely aroma to them.
• Dorothea (Dark Desert Rituals): Ooh! That is nice. All right, let's get that too. That should be just about enough, don't you think?
• Raphael: Wow! That's a ton of cute stuff! Thank you both so much!
• Dorothea (Dark Desert Rituals): You're welcome. I hope they make your sister happy.
• Raphael: She's going to be overjoyed, I'm sure! I'm going to send her a letter telling her about all the things here we've never seen before... I can't wait!
• Lene: What a kind older brother. I wish I'd had a brother like you.
• Raphael: Do you have any brothers, Lene?
• Lene: I don't. I don't have any family to speak of...
• Dorothea (Dark Desert Rituals): Oh, I'm sorry...
• Lene: No, no! I'm sorry. Your situation isn't much different, I know. I shouldn't be pitying myself so.
• Raphael: ...I'm sorry to hear that, both of you. So starting today, I'll be an older brother for you both!
• Lene: What?! Aren't we around the same age?
• Raphael: Don't worry about the details! You helped me with all this shopping, so I want to repay you somehow! I'll buy you whatever you want!
• Lene: Really?! Well, then I want that hairpin we walked past a minute ago!
• Raphael: All right, then! I'm on it!
• Dorothea (Dark Desert Rituals): Goodness, you don't miss a beat, do you! I'm glad to see your smile is back, though.
• Lene: Hee hee hee... Now it's your turn to get him to do something for you!
• Dorothea (Dark Desert Rituals): So it is, so it is. There are just so many options. I'll have to think about this carefully...

Lost to Love

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Líf (Love of a King): The Day of Devotion is not so simple for ones such as you and I. We who have fought for the ones we loved, only to—
• Thrasir: Yes. We are shadows cast by love... a place devoid of love's light. Look. Over there... It's the you of this world.
• Líf (Love of a King): Yes. And with his family as well... And Kiran... Let's move.
• Thrasir: ...
• Líf (Love of a King): ...What is it, Veronica?
• Thrasir: Although you are both Alfonse, you... Well, it's sad.
• Líf (Love of a King): Pointless to think about now. As you say, we are little more than shadows.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Veronica (Love of a King): Hey, you!
• Thrasir: Ah! Princess Veronica.
• Veronica (Love of a King): I knew it. So, then, you are me from another world... Why are you here?
• Thrasir: ...
• Veronica (Love of a King): ...It doesn't matter. Here.
• Thrasir: ...Flowers? For me?
• Veronica (Love of a King): My gift to you. Oh, also, we defeated Hel, as was promised. That is all.
• Thrasir: I understand.
• Líf (Love of a King): ...As promised?
• Thrasir: Yes. Before I, well...Veronica made me a promise. She promised to see Hel dead.
• Líf (Love of a King): I see. How strange to be saved by yourself from another world...
• Thrasir: It's true. Now, Alfonse, shall we make our return? A festival such as this is no place for us. Someday, though, it would be nice to live in a world touched by love's light once more...

Familiar Stranger

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Marth: The tempest is creating chaos in space-time. If we do nothing, this world will end. Lend me your aid!
• Severa (Willful Rabbits): Seriously?! That's bad! We have to do something! But first... You're Lucina, aren't you? What are you doing here?
• Inigo (Willful Rabbits): Can't fool us! As if we would so easily forget a friend we fought side by side with for so long.
• Marth: N-no, I— My name is Marth! Now, a terrible disaster is threatening this world...
• Severa (Willful Rabbits): All right, fine. If you really want to keep up the act, whatever. You can do what you want. But is this disaster of yours related to the guys coming out of that vortex? Looks like they're up to no good...
• Inigo (Willful Rabbits): I'm not gonna let them ruin our festival fun! You can count on me, Lucin—er, Marth! I'll protect the joy of spring!
• Severa (Willful Rabbits): Guess I've got no choice... I'll help too. But you owe me one, all right?
• Marth: Thank you, Severa, Inigo... Please, be careful. That is, um, I appreciate your assistance in this time of need. Keep your wits about you.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Inigo (Willful Rabbits): The vortex is fading away... Guess that means we won, huh?
• Severa (Willful Rabbits): Phew! I'm exhausted! Lucina—I mean, Marth, we've done it!
• Marth: Thank you... This world is safe thanks to you. Now then, I must be on my way. Good-bye.
• Severa (Willful Rabbits): H-hey, just where do you think you're going?! Wait a second!
• Marth: I have many matters to attend to... There are other vortexes in other worlds that demand my attention.
• Severa (Willful Rabbits): It's not like one just pops up right after another one has disappeared, is it? I mean, you're here during a festival and all, so you might as well have something to eat before you go.
• Inigo (Willful Rabbits): You're always trying to do everything on your own—er...it seems. You ought to take a break once in a while!
• Marth: ...
• Severa (Willful Rabbits): I know you're trying to act cool, but I bet you're tearing up underneath that mask, aren't you? We know you! C'mon! There's all kinds of sweets and everything. Don't tell me you don't like sweets!
• Inigo (Willful Rabbits): If you stay, you'll get to see my new springtime dance. I even wear the ears and tail, so...it'll be worth it!
• Marth: ...Thank you, you two. Truly. Spring's warmth touches more than just the weather in Askr, it would appear.

Princess's Gloom

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• L'Arachel (Childhood Encounter): Ahh... Alone at last. Those kids just don't know when to stop, blabbering on and on about their parents... Unbelievable! "My father this, my father that!" If that isn't the definition of childish, I don't know what is! Not me though. I'm already grown up if you ask me! Besides, I don't even know my mother and father! And I'm DEFINITELY not jealous of those kids! Not one bit!
• Marth: Hm? Are you...
• L'Arachel (Childhood Encounter): Wh-who are you?! A dastard from the shadows? A swindler of some kind?! Stay away! I'll scream!
• Marth: W-wait! Enemies will be upon us soon. A dire threat approaches.
• L'Arachel (Childhood Encounter): What? You can't be serious!
• Marth: I am. So tell me, do you know of any Heroes confident in their abilities? If so, please, bring me to them and—
• L'Arachel (Childhood Encounter): Look no further! I'm just the Hero you're looking for. Leave it to me! I'll take all ne'er-do-wells to task! They'll rue the day they messed with me! Every last one of them!
• Marth: E-excuse me?!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• L'Arachel (Childhood Encounter): Hyah! Rrrah! Ha-chah! Heee...YAAHHHH!
• Marth: Incredible. You did it! You're pretty amazing to have defeated so many foes yourself, you know that?
• L'Arachel (Childhood Encounter): Of course I know! I'm just as good as any other grown-up...if not better! I can do anything!
• Marth: I see... Impressive. You must be strong to be so self-reliant. Much stronger than I am... I find myself always chasing the shadow of my father...
• L'Arachel (Childhood Encounter): Your...father?
• Marth: He gave his life to protect my world. I want to see him again with all my heart... That is my singular focus. I can't give up.
• L'Arachel (Childhood Encounter): ...*sniff* *sob*
• Marth: Hm? What's the matter?
• L'Arachel (Childhood Encounter): I just want to see my parents too... Wh-why did they leave me behind?
• Marth: Oh, L'Arachel... We share similar fates, it seems. I can't return your parents to you, but...I can stay by your side for now, if it will bring you comfort.
• L'Arachel (Childhood Encounter): Oh... Y-yes, please... Just this once. And...will you stroke my hair?
• Marth: Ah... Yes, of course.

Engagement

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Saul: Ahh... Finally, a chance to catch my breath. So many ceremonies are happening today, I haven't had a moment's rest. So many women, but all of them are part of a happy couple. I can't even strike up a conversation... I have given everything for the sake of the people. Is there to be no reward for me? For even one beautiful woman to call out to me would be enough...
• ???: You there!
• Saul: I— Hm? Yes? Can I help you?
• Marth: Yes! I'm glad to see you're not a groom. I would not feel good about asking a bride's beloved to get involved...
• Saul: I'm sorry... Are you— Behind that mask... Err...what is it that you need from me?
• Marth: An attack is upon us, originating from the Tempest. I need your assistance in repelling our foes. We wouldn't want to ruin the festival for all the happy couples...
• Saul: Repelling an attack... Right... Saint Elimine, grant me the strength to overcome these trials...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Saul: Phew... It seems all the enemies have fled...
• Marth: Yes, and it's all thanks to you, Saul. Now, I must depart, but...I hope you have a blessed festival as well.
• Saul: Hah. Well, I certainly have done my share of service... I will pray for us both. Good-bye. Now then... I wonder how things are going at the festival.
• Charlotte: Aha! There you are! I've been searching all over for you!
• Saul: A blessing so soon? Yes, what can I do for you, young lady? Ah, I know... Would you care to hear a lengthy sermon on the nature of Saint Elimine's love?
• Charlotte: Er, no! I was wondering if you'd mind giving me a flower from your outfit...
• Saul: One of these? Of course! It's no trouble at all.
• Charlotte: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Er, I mean... Thank you so much! By the way... How many ceremonies have you been to today? Seems like a lot... There's a rumor going around that you're good luck for love with how many ceremonies you've overseen! And now that I've got a flower you were wearing... Heh heh hehhh... I'm going to find myself a rich man!
• Saul: ...Huh. Well, there she goes... Where did this rumor come from? More importantly, if there's a rumor going around—
• Leon: There you are! You're Saul, right? Stay right where you are!
• Gatrie: I don't care what it is, please just give me something for luck! Even a strand of your hair will do!
• Cordelia: Umm... I would also like some luck, if it's all right to ask...
• Saul: Well, people have flocked to me, calling out to me, but...is this the blessing of the heavens? *sigh* I suppose one ought not to perform works with the expectation of reward. Another lesson learned...

Angling to Win

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Caspar: WOOOO! BEACH DAAAAAYYYY!
• Ashe (Summer Vibrance): Caspar... You're being a little loud, don't you think? Some people here are trying to relax...
• Caspar: Bah! C'mon, Ashe, after we came all this way, you want to keep it down now that we're here?! Besides, check THIS out! I already caught this absolute lunker of a fish! ...Honestly, I don't much like the taste of fish, but catching them is too fun to pass up!
• Ashe (Summer Vibrance): Wow, that is a rather incredible catch, I must admit! Though...I myself have already caught three fish, as you can see here.
• Caspar: Oh yeah! Not bad! I have an idea! Let's have a friendly little contest! A fishing competition just between us!
• Ashe (Summer Vibrance): Sounds good to me, but I'll warn you now... I'm not going to lose!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Caspar: Aaaannnd...BOOM! Look at the size of this thing! You think you can compete with that?
• Ashe (Summer Vibrance): Well...I caught 35 fish. In terms of quantity, I win.
• Caspar: What? Quantity?! You win by getting the bigger fish, right?
• Ashe (Summer Vibrance): No, the winner is whoever catches the most fish, obviously.
• Caspar: You never said anything about that!
• Ashe (Summer Vibrance): I have no memory of you mentioning size as the criteria either!
• Caspar: Then how are we going to figure out which of us wins? ...Ugh! How annoying...
• Ashe (Summer Vibrance): Hmm... Well, we could still alter the competition criteria now.
• Caspar: Huh? How would we do that fairly?
• Ashe (Summer Vibrance): We'll cook our fish, and then have everyone else judge which of our fish is the tastiest!
• Caspar: B-but I can't really...cook.
• Ashe (Summer Vibrance): That's no problem! I can handle all the cooking. I'm pretty good, so you have nothing to worry about!
• Caspar: ...You could just prepare my fish so it tastes bad. That's something I'm worried about!
• Ashe (Summer Vibrance): What do you take me for? I would never do something so underhanded! What kind of person would I be if I were to make everyone eat gross food on purpose like that?
• Caspar: Hah! All right then, fine. I guess I have nothing to worry about! I'll go carry all these fish to the kitchen!
• Ashe (Summer Vibrance): Thank you. Oh, and would you mind if I take a few fillets back home with me afterward? I'm sure the cat in the pantry would appreciate a taste as well...
• Caspar: Of course! I'm sure he'll enjoy that regardless of which of our fish he gets to sample.

Ice & Flame 1

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Fjorm: Nifl, god of ice, hear me... It is your child, Fjorm, who bows in prayer... As an offering, I bring you my flesh. As the vessel, I bring you a divine weapon... One that has come a great distance and has the power to rule all worlds. I beg you, hear my prayer. We seek the strength to tame the savage flame. We seek to quench the unquenchable, to kill the undying. Fill this vessel with your power...
• Nifl: In my name... We are bound by contract.

(screen fades)

• Fjorm: Hrk... I... I'm... It's...
• Ylgr: Fjorm, are you...all right? Are you getting sick? You're...shivering!
• Fjorm: I-I'm fine. Just...a little chill... That's all
• Ylgr: A...chill? On a nice, warm summer day like today? You're sure you're not sick?
• Fjorm: It's... I'm fine. It will pass soon enough... Come now, Ylgr. It's time to go. ... ...Time to go. I chose this. When I forged the contract, I knew this day would come eventually... I now give myself over to Nifl, the great god of ice, as I've long known I must...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Fjorm: *gasp* Th-this feeling... It's like when I performed the rite... As if the air is freezing around me...
• Nifl: ...
• Fjorm: Y-you! You are...Nifl...the god of ice herself...
• Nifl: ...Silence. You are too eager to claim me as your god. The god of ice is now only a story told by mortals. I am no more free of the flow of nature than is the land or the water. Young mortal... Child born of my bloodline... You offered yourself to me. Your bond is absolute. There is no altering the oath.
• Fjorm: Of course... Then, it is as I had begun to expect. The time has come. I will honor my vow. To break an oath to a god would be unforgivable. But please, Great Nifl, might I keep my life? Will you...spare me?
• Nifl: ... ...You regret your oath, do you?
• Fjorm: I— What?
• Nifl: The emotions that rule you mortals are fickle and ever-wavering. Even now your heart trembles... What disturbs it so? The fear of death? Regret for your vow to me? No... Even now, knowing all you know, you would do precisely the same, would you not?
• Fjorm: ...I would.
• Nifl: The mortal pursuit of everlasting life is frivolous. Insignificant as you are, you still wish to live on... Why?
• Fjorm: ... My companions and I are engaged in a desperate conflict yet again. Everyone is fighting with everything they have to give... If I were to leave them now... It would feel like I had abandoned them—all of my friends.
• Nifl: ...
• Fjorm: I— I'm sorry. Please, forgive me... I am ashamed for making such excuses. In truth, my motivation is selfish at its core. There is someone...someone who I cannot bear leaving... If I could spend a little more time... Any more time... That is why I want to live.
• Nifl: Be silent. Your mouth runs as if it has sprung a leak. I do not care for it.
• Fjorm: I apologize... That is...all I had to say.
• Nifl: I see. Then, as you swore, you will give yourself over to me?
• Fjorm: ...I will.
• Nifl: ...
• Fjorm: What... What happens now?
• Nifl: I have not come here to kill you or take your life, Fjorm. A foul flame, having long been little more than embers, has been relit. It must be destroyed. If you want to live, complete this task—for the sake of this beloved of yours if nothing else.
• Fjorm: What must I do?
• Nifl: Be my champion. Destroy the god of flame, Múspell. Defeat Múspell and his champion, and your life will again be your own to misspend however you please...

Ice & Flame 2

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• ???: Thank you for saving our people, Lady Nifl. I am forever in your debt.
• Nifl: Do not trouble yourself, Hvergel. It is my pleasure to bless you with the power in my blood. It was you who thawed my long-frozen heart, showed me the kindness mortals are capable of... Though your mortal life must one day end, our connection will live on through eternity. I promise to cherish your children and their children just as I care for you.
• ???: Thank you, Lady Nifl... I am sure my children will appreciate your presence as I have...

(screen fades)

• Fjorm: ... Was that...a dream? That was... Lady Nifl, long ago. And the one with her was...
• Nifl: Why are you delaying, Fjorm? We must hurry.
• Fjorm: O-of course! ...Though there is something I want to ask you about, Lady Nifl...
• Nifl: What is your question? I pray it does not require a lengthy answer.
• Fjorm: There was a time you granted an ancestor of mine, the first queen, the power to save her people... Why? Why grant mortals power at all?
• Nifl: ...
• Fjorm: Did you have some connection with our first queen—Hvergel?
• Nifl: ...Silence. Such things are none of your concern. Now, keep marching. Should your mouth continue to babble, I will be forced to freeze it shut.
• Fjorm: ...Y-you would do that? Please forgive me... The Lady Nifl of my dream is entirely different from the Lady Nifl here in front of me... What changed?

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Nifl: Quickly, Fjorm. We must reach our foe's keep before Múspell regains his power.
• Fjorm: Um... Lady Nifl? There's something I want to ask you about...
• Nifl: Silence. As I said, we must hurry. You would do well to listen, lest I am forced to encase you in ice and leave you behind.
• Fjorm: It's just that...I had a strange vision. It was almost like a dream. And you were speaking with Queen Hvergel, as if the two of you were close...
• Nifl: ... ...You are the heir of two bloods. The mortal blood of Queen Hvergel and the dragon blood I granted her... That is likely the vision's cause. Your resemblance to her is...strong. As if she were born anew... I find it rather unpleasant.
• Fjorm: You seemed so happy in my vision... You were even smiling! I know you said that you dislike emotionality, but it seemed like, back then, you... I hesitate to say, but it appeared to me as if you had a deep love for mortals... I was glad to see what a kind person you can be...
• Nifl: Fjorm... You are near to finding yourself entombed under an avalanche.
• Fjorm: I— Wh-what?! I'm just trying to express my gratitude for—
• Nifl: The past is behind us. I will never hold any love or fondness for another mortal. Not again.
• Fjorm: Wh-why...?
• Nifl: Back then, I was unaware of what pain I would face in eventually losing one I love. Now I know.
• Fjorm: I'm sorry, Lady Nifl... It's true that we mortals cannot live forever. Our life's force will always eventually exhaust itself...
• Nifl: No.
• Fjorm: ...N-no?
• Nifl: You misunderstand. Because of her connection to me... Because of ME... Hvergel was taken by Múspell's abominable flame...

(screen fades)

• ???: AAAHHHH! Th-this heat! It burns! I cannot—I cannot...I cannot see... I...I cannot breathe! I— Nifl!
• Nifl: No, no, no... Hvergel... Please forgive me... I never meant for this to happen! ...No...no...
• ???: Please... Save...me... Help me... I...beg you...
• Nifl: I am so sorry, Hvergel, but I can do nothing now... A body burned by Múspell's flame cannot be healed... Not even by my power... The only solace I can offer is release from the inferno within you... Múspell... You chose not to deal me a final blow on purpose... You wanted me...to see what you'd done to Hvergel...knowing I would be forced to end her suffering...
• ???: ...Nifl, I... ... ...
• Nifl: Hvergel! My love was not enough to protect you and instead drove us here, where I must take your life myself! No one must ever suffer the same terrible fate... If it means bearing such a burden, I will love no more. I am sorry I will not be able to keep my promise of loving your children, Hvergel... Instead, I promise this... Even if I am forced to murder that immortal bastard a thousand times... I swear to bring an end to Múspell.

Ice & Flame 3

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Nifl: After Hvergel's passing, I could not be held back from issuing a challenge to Múspell. It did not matter if I were destroyed in the process, so long as he was brought low alongside me.
• Fjorm: I'm so sorry, Lady Nifl... What...happened?
• Nifl: It was a draw. We both were reduced, returned to our respective elements, ice and flame... But now, Múspell rages once again. Only this time, it is likely he will have his own champion sent against me. You will fight that champion, Fjorm. What do you know of this foe, I wonder? Who of Múspell's descendants yet lives?
• Fjorm: Descendants... That must be the royal line of Múspell, I suppose. We defeated their king, Surtr. And his daughter, Princess Laegjarn... We were too late to save her.
• Nifl: Múspell's line is the enemy. You are to rejoice in the death of a foe. There is no call for sadness.
• Fjorm: N-no, she was— Princess Laegjarn was a dear friend!
• Nifl: Be silent. Watch that impudent tongue of yours. To call the spawn of Múspell a friend is pitiful. Now, get to the end of your story. Did all of Múspell's kin perish?
• Fjorm: Princess Laegjarn's younger sister, Princess Laevatein, still lives. But I cannot imagine her becoming the enemy's champion. When last we spoke...

(screen fades)

• Laevatein: Thank you, Princess Fjorm. I am glad someone was there to hear my sister's last words...
• Fjorm: ...
• Laevatein: When I feel alone... I always think of her. It does not soothe my loneliness, but I still feel she may be watching over me somehow... That's why I have to work hard and achieve something worthy of her praise. She wished for me to live on...
• Fjorm: That's a lovely thought, Princess Laevatein... Let's live on together, for Princess Laegjarn!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Laegjarn: Múspell, dragon of flame...I offer you my flesh. Arm and arm, leg and leg. My head, my heart... All of it offered, that you may feed. Devour me! Aah! Aagh... Aah... Hah... AAAAAAGH!

(screen fades)

• Múspell: Get up, worm.
• Laegjarn: ... I...I'm alive? Why am I alive?
• Múspell: You were near dead, but you gave your life and strength to me. It may have taken a year, but now your life has been rekindled thanks to the power of MY flame. So do not throw your life away again too quickly. It was annoying enough to revive you once.
• Laegjarn: You said...with the power of...your flame? A-are you...
• Múspell: Múspell am I, lord of one realm of the nine! Master of flame! But right now, all that matters... is that you kneel, dog.
• Laegjarn: Wh-what?!
• Múspell: Ho-ho! Seems I still remember how to put mortals under my command.
• Laegjarn: What...what is this? What have you done to me?
• Múspell: I've lent you some of my power for the moment. But I will need it back. That and more. By my command, you are my obedient little servant. Now, until you do as I've ordered, your life will be in my hands. There is no death that can save you—though, you are welcome to try, of course.
• Laegjarn: Múspell, the dragon of flame... You are the god of our realm, for whom the very kingdom of Múspell was named... But even so, I have my pride as one of its generals... And I have no intention of becoming your slave. If you mean only to humiliate me, you can just kill me now.
• Múspell: Aha! Some heat in you after all! You remind me of another I lent my flame to a long time ago... But you're wasting your breath preaching your virtues to me!
• Laegjarn: ...Well, now that you've revived me, what is it that you have planned?
• Múspell: Tsk! You must still be half-asleep! Or are you a fool? What I'm after is simple... A fight! The thrill of a blood feud! A duel to the DEATH!
• Laegjarn: A...fight? THAT is the reason you returned me to life?
• Múspell: My battle with Nifl will never end until one of us is finally wiped from existence. That weakling Nifl plans to make a champion out of some little girl who inherited her blood... Look. There, in the tempest. That brat. Do you see her?
• Laegjarn: Th-that's...Princess Fjorm!
• Múspell: So you know her, do you? That will make this fun! ...Here is my command to you: Kill Nifl's champion. Rip that whelp to pieces.
• Laegjarn: I...can't do that... ...I will not fight Princess Fjorm! She...she is...my friend.
• Múspell: Fallen for her tricks already, have you? Weak... But while you are under my command, you do as I say.
• Laegjarn: ...
• Múspell: Kneel. Beg.
• Laegjarn: Nya...aaghh!
• Múspell: You think you can stand before me and speak of pride and some feeble idea of friendship?! Keep your mouth shut. Friendship is fakery—a shroud of lies and deception. I will burn that idea out of you, until only your true self remains. The raw fire at your core... Mortals are beasts! And I will tear you down until you realize THAT is your true nature. Scream! Writhe all you want! Rage and howl like the dog you are... Let yourself be free! Let your hot blood surge and everything else die! ...You will learn soon enough. And that damned Nifl will learn the fullness of my power right along with you!

Ice & Flame 4

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Nifl: Fjorm. Be still. Múspell has come.
• Fjorm: Here?!
• Nifl: He has likely granted his power to a mortal and made it his champion. You will need my power to have any chance of opposing them... Kneel. And close your eyes.
• Fjorm: Y-yes...
• Nifl: As ice wills... You are my champion. You are my weapon, my shield, my child...born anew.
• Fjorm (Ice Ascendant): Wh-what is—
• Nifl: As my champion, you have been granted the power of the ice god. My power. Wield this power as a tool to bring low the god who would oppose me. But not yet! Use it only when it has come time to face Múspell's chosen champion.
• Fjorm (Ice Ascendant): But who is Múspell's champion? I know of no one who it could possibly be...
• Nifl: It makes no difference. They are your enemy, and they mean to kill you. Remember that, for your own sake. You must not die. You must survive.
• Fjorm (Ice Ascendant): Lady Nifl...
• Nifl: Silence. Wipe that pleased look off your face. Do not mistake my interest in your survival for some juvenile sense of emotional attachment. Now, come.

(screen fades)

• Múspell: Good, good... Now you are now the champion of Múspell!
• Laegjarn: ...
• Múspell: No gratitude? Don't you know a dog ought to wag its tail and beg when offered a treat?!
• Laegjarn: ...Hng-gyah!
• Múspell: Now use my power to kill Nifl's champion! ...Or try. But they will have a power similar to your own. And how do you imagine that might play out on the battlefield?
• Laegjarn: If we each use our power to defeat the other, then...it will be a draw.
• Múspell: Correct. The powers I and Nifl wield are equal.
• Laegjarn: ...You gods may have power far beyond that of mortals... I cannot say the same when it comes to your strategy, however.
• Múspell: What?!
• Laegjarn: Your powers are equally matched... Your champions fight to a draw... How do you plan to win?
• Múspell: Heh heh! Indeed! Ah... Since I'm in a good mood, allow me to let you in on something... My victory is decided. From the very beginning, when the nine realms first came to be. It was all laid out in the Twilit Runes.
• Laegjarn: What are...the Twilit Runes?

(screen fades)

• Thórr: ... The Twilit Runes are prophecy. The unavoidable future.
• Loki: They were written by Alfaðör himself, and they tell of how the gods will one day come to ruin... Within them, all of time, from the very beginning to the absolute end of it all.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Múspell: So, I have no need to plan; I can TELL you how the fight will end. Now, take this, dog. Catch.
• Laegjarn: ...Th-this stone! It's just like the one my father—Where did this come from?!
• Múspell: That stone is your lifeblood: the Flame Gem. It will return you to life if you die. The Twilit Runes say, "Two gods war, their champions spill blood... "Ice melts while the flame remains... "Pierced by frost, the Flame Gem rekindles, the champion renewed." Now, you tell me what you think will happen...
• Laegjarn: ...Princess Fjorm and I will fight. She will strike me down. And this gem will resurrect me.
• Múspell: Good girl. Well done. So you can see, it's simple. I win.
• Laegjarn: ...
• Múspell: HAH! It will be something to see... How do you think that ice brat will perform? What will she do? Cry? Scream? And then you'll kill each other!
• Laegjarn: ...How much humiliation am I expected to bear? This blood I've inherited... The blood of someone as low, as petty as you...
• Múspell: Hah! Did I ask you to speak, dog? More discipline is needed, it seems! One more thing to look forward to. But for now... Where are you, Nifl?!

(screen fades)

• Thórr: ....
• Loki: My, that is some scowl you're wearing. What could be troubling you so, I wonder? Ice, flame, and their champions are on the move. Their fight is about to begin! Where's your excitement?
• Thórr: ...They've both put everything on the line for this fight. As such, they are worthy of respect. The result of this battle, however, has already been decided...
• Loki: And so you find it unsatisfactory?
• Thórr: ...Of course not. It is Alfaðör's will, and we are his servants. There is no room for dissatisfaction. There is one question I do have, though, Loki... How is it that Múspell knows the content of the Twilit Runes? You told him, did you not? What is your play here, exactly?
• Loki: Well, as you said... It doesn't matter what I do, does it? It is Alfaðör's will, and we are his servants and all... Nothing we do can change the course of time as it was decided in the time of creation... Right? We ought to embrace the opportunity to enjoy a good fight! We wouldn't want it to go to waste...

Ice & Flame 5

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Nifl: On your guard, Fjorm. Múspell has revealed himself. And with him, his champion...
• Laegjarn: ...
• Fjorm: ...P-Princess Laegjarn?! But you—
• Laegjarn: Hello, Fjorm.
• Nifl: Fjorm, use my power to defeat her.
• Fjorm: I...I can't!
• Múspell: Kill Nifl's defender, dog. As long as I have you under my control, you have no choice but to do as I command. I hope you understand that by now.
• Laegjarn: ...Hrrk! I...I rrr—
• Fjorm: Forgive me, Lady Nifl, but I cannot bring myself to fight her...
• Nifl: Fight or die. She is under Múspell's curse and cannot resist his command. Until she is released from Múspell's control, she has no choice but to do as he bids.
• Fjorm: Oh no... But then... Princess Laegjarn, please listen! I have no wish to fight you.
• Laegjarn: Forgive me, Princess Fjorm. I cannot...resist him... I won't be able to stop myself. I am unable even to take my own life. I must kill you. You have to fight me, Fjorm... You have to kill me. If you don't, I will be forced to kill you.
• Fjorm: No! There must be some other way.
• Laegjarn: I had the same hope, but... I could see no way for us to both survive this... One of us has to die.
• Fjorm: But I—
• Laegjarn: Ready yourself, Fjorm!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Loki: "Two gods war, their champions spill blood... "Ice melts while the flame remains... "Pierced by frost, the Flame Gem rekindles, the champion renewed." The prophesy of the Twilit Runes is unerring fate... Things will end just as Múspell claimed.
• Thórr: Of course it will.
• Loki: Yes, well... If you ask me, fate playing out exactly as planned is a bit on the dull side. Wouldn't you agree?
• Thórr: ...It is not our place to question Alfaðör's design.
• Loki: Hmm... What would you say to making a little wager—between the two of us?
• Thórr: On what?
• Loki: Who will win, of course. Ice or flame. The courage to wager everything is surely something someone like you can respect. So...whoever loses will have to do whatever the winner asks, no matter what it is. What do you say?
• Thórr: ...The future is decided. Why would either of us bet on the losing side?
• Loki: For fun, of course! Hmmm... What should I make you do when I win? Even considering the possibilities is its own sort of joy. What would be the best way to embarrass an overserious war god... Let me think...
• Thórr: Cease your scheming, Loki!
• Loki: Oh, merely hypotheticals... You know, Thórr, there are countless other worlds. That means countless ways for it to end. But do hurry... You'll need to make your wager before the results come in, of course.
• Thórr: ...Fine. We will play your game. I will choose...

(screen fades)

• Laegjarn: HYAH!
• Fjorm: Urgh! Please... Princess Laegjarn... You have to stop yourself!
• Laegjarn: There is nothing I can do. You must kill me before I can kill you!
• Múspell: Yes, that's it! Good! Fight harder! HARDER! Sic her, dog! Pin her down! Take her neck in your mouth like the prey she is—and rip out her windpipe! Gyah-hahahaha!
• Fjorm: ...Nyah!
• Nifl: Fjorm. Use your weapon. Fight. Put away your fear. You want to survive, do you not?
• Fjorm: Of course! But if I have to kill Princess Laegjarn to do so... I just... Please, Kiran... Help me... What do I do?!

Ice & Flame Finale

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Laegjarn: It is prophecy, Fjorm! "Two gods war, their champions spill blood... "Ice melts while the flame remains... "Pierced by frost, the Flame Gem rekindles, the champion renewed." There is nothing we can do to change what has already been decided!
• Fjorm: I... I can't!
• Laegjarn: ...Princess Fjorm! ...If you do nothing to stop me, I will kill you. If you want to live, you must fight! You will have to kill me first!
• Fjorm: I won't! ...I REFUSE!
• Nifl: ...Fjorm. Think.
• Múspell: I've had enough. You, Nifl's champion... Fight or die. And you, dog, deal the killing blow! I command it, and you must obey! You do understand that by now, don't you? Hah!
• Laegjarn: Princess Fjorm... I have done all I can. This is it.
• Fjorm: ...No! Princess Laegjarn!
• Nifl: Fjorm. Use the power I've given you and strike down your enemy. Do so, or die!
• Fjorm: B-but I...I can't!
• Múspell: Now!
• Laegjarn (Flame Ascendant): GYAAAHHH!
• Fjorm (Ice Ascendant): Hrrr-RAAAHHH!
• Nifl: Fjorm...
• Múspell: Ho-ho! What a sight to behold! Simultaneous strikes! Who will make it out alive?! I wonder...
• Laegjarn: ...
• Múspell: Gya-hahaha! Good, good, good. And just as I had planned. Looks as if I've won, Nifl!
• Nifl: Fjorm hesitated to do harm from the very start. And now...
• Laegjarn: Fjorm...
• Fjorm: My life...was forfeit long ago... I knew that. ...Princess Laegjarn, I...I've regretted being unable to save you... All this time, ever since... I told myself...never again... I won't...lose you. Not again. ...
• Laegjarn: ...
• Nifl: Fjorm... It's happening again. Another one lost...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Múspell: Hah! You put on quite the show, dog! Look at me. Let me see that face now that you've murdered that little friend of yours.
• Laegjarn: Curse you, Múspell...
• Múspell: It is you who is cursed! Cursed to do exactly as I command, lest you forget. And I have a new command: kill Nifl. Do not think you can turn on me with your job left unfinished! Now be a good dog, and sic. Kill her!
• Laegjarn: Hng... Grrr-RAAH!
• Nifl: ...Tyah!
• Múspell: Is it time for me to join in on the fun? Two against one seems like some long odds, Nifl... What WILL you do? Your champion is dead. What else is there for YOU to do...but die!
• Nifl: Múspell...
• Múspell: Hah! I'll savor this...taking you apart. I only wish you had a better view so you could watch it happen. That woman of yours--Hvergel, yes? I always was disappointed you missed seeing her die. Tragic really. She didn't have the endurance I'd hoped, and my flame burned right through her. The screaming ended before the fun truly began, but not before she cursed you, Nifl... You, the god that drove her to her death!
• Nifl: Liar.
• Múspell: Hah! It's the truth! The only lie is the love you claimed you held for her! Now it's your turn to feel the lick of my flame and die in your regret, entirely unloved! You have nowhere to run, no allies to turn to. You have...NO ONE!
• ???: ...Yes, she does.
• Múspell: Hm?!
• Fjorm (Ice Ascendant): I am her ally.
• Nifl: ...Fjorm?!
• Fjorm (Ice Ascendant): In Nifl's name... Múspell, become ice.
• Múspell: Wha--What is this?! This... You... You were dead!
• Laegjarn: That's right. Princess Fjorm died... You said it yourself, Múspell... "Two gods war, their champions spill blood... "Ice melts while the flame remains... "Pierced by frost, the Flame Gem rekindles, the champion renewed."
• Múspell: GRRAAHH! Damn you all! This is not what the prophecy was meant to foretell!
• Nifl: Fjorm gave her life up, pierced by her own frost. She could not strike her trusted friend and ally. She entrusted her life to that friend without hesitation. Múspell, your foul influence ends now... All that you are dies here.
• Múspell: ...Hahaha! GAH-HAHAHA! Remember this, you three... Never forget! I will return... And I will settle the score! In the gathering twilight...I will return... And no one will survive... No one! I WILL RAIN DEATH ON THIS WORLD!
• Nifl: ...It is done. The flame will fade, and ice will return to the land... I, too, may now fade away.
• Fjorm: Thank you, Lady Nifl...for everything. Even if I--
• Nifl: ...Silence. Mortal gratitude is of no consequence. If you still see things so simply, perhaps it's best you live out what life remains in that threadbare body. ...Be happy, Fjorm.
• Fjorm: Lady Nifl...
• Laegjarn: ...Princess Fjorm. I also want to thank you. Even facing me as your foe, your belief in me never wavered.
• Fjorm: You were not my foe, Princess Laegjarn... Do you remember...the last thing you said to me?
• Laegjarn: Yes. I remember. Suppose we had chosen a different path back in Nifl... Could we have been friends?
• Fjorm: Yes. That was the moment we were no longer foes, and we became friends.

Togetherness

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Lyre (Like Clockwork): No, not here, either...
• Kyza (Like Clockwork): Hello, Lyre. I see you're sneaking away from camp. If I know you, you're looking for Captain Ranulf.
• Lyre (Like Clockwork): No, I'm not! You heard Commander Anna, didn't you? He's looking for peace and quiet, which means WE won't be seeing him today.
• Kyza (Like Clockwork): Then who are you searching for?
• Lyre (Like Clockwork): What's it to you?
• Kyza (Like Clockwork): Off she goes... Suspicious. Wait just a minute, Lyre! I won't let you snatch up the captain's heart when I'm not looking!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Lyre (Like Clockwork): Lethe! There you are!
• Lethe (Renewed Spirit): Hey, little sister. Looks like you got fitted for a kimono too!
• Lyre (Like Clockwork): It even matches yours! What do you think?
• Lethe (Renewed Spirit): You look great.
• Lyre (Like Clockwork): Well, you said it. Hehe. I'm so happy we have the chance to spend the New Year together! If we want to go by tradition, we should visit a shrine, play hanetsuki, eat ozoni...
• Kyza (Like Clockwork): So this is what you're up to! How nice that you can spend the day with your sister.
• Lyre (Like Clockwork): Kyza!
• Kyza (Like Clockwork): Without Captain Ranulf by my side, that leaves me all by my lonesome... Not that I'm lonely! Not one bit!
• Lethe (Renewed Spirit): Come on, Lyre. You're comrades in arms. Do something!
• Lyre (Like Clockwork): Twist my arm, why don't you? OK, Kyza. Want to come with us?
• Kyza (Like Clockwork): Do you mean it?
• Lethe (Renewed Spirit): Of course we do.
• Lyre (Like Clockwork): I hope you appreciate how nice I'm being!
• Kyza (Like Clockwork): Thank you, Lyre. Now, time's wasting. To the shrine! I'm told we can hang plaques with our wishes on them, and I must find a place higher than yours. I have already poured all my feelings for the captain into mine. This year, as always, I will be the one of us that he cares most for. The race is on, little cat-girl!
• Lyre (Like Clockwork): That's gratitude for you! HEY! Wait a minute there! Oooh!
• Lethe (Renewed Spirit): Well, there they go again. Happy New Year!

To Sing to You

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Leanne (Of Lost Kingdoms): Hmm...
• Azura (Of Lost Kingdoms): Is something bothering you, Leanne?
• Leanne (Of Lost Kingdoms): That man...
• Deen (Of Lost Kingdoms): ...
• Azura (Of Lost Kingdoms): Deen? I've heard he can be a bit of a loner. But he's good to have on your side in a fight.
• Leanne (Of Lost Kingdoms): Yes, a loner... I feel it... He is...very lonely...
• Azura (Of Lost Kingdoms): Maybe he avoids people for a reason. He wouldn't be the only one with a troubled past around here. I know how much it can hurt to hold a secret inside you. It can be... suffocating.
• Leanne (Of Lost Kingdoms): Suffocating... Yes...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Leanne (Of Lost Kingdoms): Mister...Deen?
• Deen (Of Lost Kingdoms): Yeah? What do you want? The fight's over. If you couldn't tell, I'm trying to rest. Which I suggest you do as well.
• Leanne (Of Lost Kingdoms): I... I want to sing...a song. A song... for you.
• Deen (Of Lost Kingdoms): A song? Look, I'm not interested right now. Maybe go find someone who'd be more...appreciative.
• Azura (Of Lost Kingdoms): Don't be so grumpy. Sitting around doing nothing can get pretty boring. What's the harm in hearing one song?
• Deen (Of Lost Kingdoms): Great. You're here too. Why exactly are you two bothering me?
• Leanne (Of Lost Kingdoms): I just want...to calm your nerves. Soothe your...stormy heart.
• Deen (Of Lost Kingdoms): My— Hah! Look, if you actually think a song can—
• Azura (Of Lost Kingdoms): Listen or don't—we're not going to force you. But we're going to sing either way. Ready, Leanne?
• Leanne (Of Lost Kingdoms): Yes!
• Deen (Of Lost Kingdoms): Ugh. Fine. I'll listen. But only for a minute or two...

Abiding Love

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Owain (Here with Me): The Day of Devotion is finally upon us! I can now take center stage and dazzle in my astounding outfit! The chosen warrior of love and flowers must spare no effort in seeking out those who need saving!
• Lissa (Here with Me): There you are, honey. I've been looking all over for you!
• Owain (Here with Me): Oh, hello, Mother. Did you need something from me?
• Lissa (Here with Me): Where are you running off to during this celebration? I thought we could check out the festivities together.
• Owain (Here with Me): Erm... I appreciate the offer, but I was just about to search for—
• Lissa (Here with Me): For someone more fun than your boring Mama? Just tear my heart out and stomp on it, why don't you?
• Owain (Here with Me): Mother, please! I just thought that... Well, being led around by one's parents isn't the most heroic look...
• Lissa (Here with Me): Oh, sweetheart... Nobody's gonna think less of you for spending this day with your dear Mother.
• Owain (Here with Me): Mother, you're hugging too tight... I c-can't...breathe... Urk! I just need some space, all right?!
• Lissa (Here with Me): Hey! Get back here, mister!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Owain (Here with Me): The chosen warrior of love and flowers, on the run, ends up unable to save anyone... His sacred duty to convey affection and gratitude to those closest to him, left incomplete...
• Lissa (Here with Me): Ah ha! I've got you now, my sweet! You're not getting away from me this time!
• Owain (Here with Me): Very well, Mother. I submit to my fate.
• Lissa (Here with Me): Huh? What's gotten into you? I was expecting a more spirited response than that.
• Owain (Here with Me): I fear that I have made a grave error in my understanding of the Day of Devotion. It's not about the chosen warrior of love and flowers swooping in to save the day. It's about appreciating the friends and family who take care of you and ask for nothing in return. Family like you. So, thank you for being there for me, Mother. Then, now, and in the future.
• Lissa (Here with Me): Oh, Owain... *sniff* You really are a sweet boy, you know that? What's the mother of the chosen warrior of love and flowers to do? You're just too precious! You're also good for my training! My legs have gotten pretty strong from chasing you around. Heehee!
• Owain (Here with Me): Oh, Mother... You never change. I found this flower while, um, out exploring, and it made me think of you. Please accept it.
• Lissa (Here with Me): Aww, it's beautiful! Thank you, honey. OK, let's try this again. Ahem. Hey there, Owain! Wanna check out the festivities together?
• Owain (Here with Me): Why, of course, Mother! Nothing would make the chosen warrior of love and flowers happier.
• Lissa (Here with Me): That's what I like to hear! Now give me your hand so I can lead the way!
• Owain (Here with Me): Erm, on second thought... Hey, slow down!

Brother's Friends

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Delthea (Hop-and-Go-Seek): Whew... Looks like I finally got away from my brother. I just want to enjoy the spring festival without him ruining everything for me. Now... Let's see how the people like my bunny outfit! ...I hope leaving him behind doesn't come back to bite me somehow. Does he have any friends he can enjoy the festival with? Hmm... I almost feel bad for him spending his festival time all dressed up, surrounded by strangers...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Zeke: That spring look fits you well, I must say.
• Luthier (Hop-and-Go-Seek): Y-you really think so?
• Canas: I agree. It highlights all your best features. You should consider dressing like this more often!
• Delthea (Hop-and-Go-Seek): Umm... Who are these people?
• Luthier (Hop-and-Go-Seek): Ah, there you are, Delthea! These are...friends I've made since arriving in Askr.
• Delthea (Hop-and-Go-Seek): You? Made friends?!
• Luthier (Hop-and-Go-Seek): I did. It has been nice to have people to share things with. I have learned so much from them—so much I would never have learned doing my research in solitude.
• Delthea (Hop-and-Go-Seek): Oh... Well... Then, good.
• Luthier (Hop-and-Go-Seek): We were about to explore the festival a bit, so if you want to join us, it's perfect timing.
• Delthea (Hop-and-Go-Seek): H-huh? I— N-no, thanks.
• Luthier (Hop-and-Go-Seek): Well, I can't just leave you. Not after all the trouble you caused...
• Delthea (Hop-and-Go-Seek): Don't worry about me! I'll be good! Go with your friends, and I'll... See you later!
• Luthier (Hop-and-Go-Seek): Hey! ...Delthea!

(screen fades)

• Delthea (Hop-and-Go-Seek): Whew! ...Well, that was unexpected. I guess he has friends now... Weird. People can change after all. Seems like being summoned here has done him some good... That's something to be happy about. ...Although, maybe a little sad too? Nah, that can't be right! Hahaha... And now that he's out of the way... I wonder if I can find any dashing rabbits around here!

Breadwinners

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Even though I just finished lunch in the dining hall, it feels like I haven't eaten all day. I'm already starving... I tried to find the kitchen, but none of the staff were willing to tell me where it was... It turns out my older self had the same idea when she was summoned here in the past... I guess I'll have to take things into my own hands... But where am I going to find an easy meal?
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): Hey, Ilyana! Just the gal I was looking for.
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): You're...Mia, right? Why were you looking for me? Are you bringing me a snack?
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): Huh? No! There you go again, always thinking with your stomach. Look, I was training in the forest when somebody from a nearby village called out for help. Some nasty bandits took off with the local food supply, and they need help getting it back. So I'm looking for like-minded warriors to help me do just that. Can I count on you?
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): They stole the village's food? Oh no, that's so horrible...
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): I know, right? I said I would help out, but they laughed and said I was just, well, just a kid. Little do they know we're training with members of the Order of Heroes! This is our chance to show everyone what we're made of. What do you think?
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): It would be my pleasure... All that food...enough to feed an entire village... That would be wasted on bandits. Those good people are counting on every single grain. We have to get it all back. They'll be so grateful...
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): Just to be clear, we're not doing this for a rewa—oh, never mind. Let's go! Now that you've got my back, I'm more pumped than ever!
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Mm-hm... Hold on, delicious food... We're coming to save you!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Mia (Unlikely Friends): We did it! Good job, Ilyana. We managed to recover all of the food and capture the bandits to boot! After great teamwork like that, nobody's gonna underestimate us again. Right, Ilyana?
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Let's see... Loaves of bread, bushels of wheat... Racks of meat, barrels of fish... Crates of vegetables and fruit... It looks like it's all here. Wow... Now that I see it all laid out, this really is a lot of food... I've never seen this much in one place before... It's...it's almost overwhelming...
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): Er, right... I'm sure everyone in the village worked their tails off to hunt and harvest it all. They wouldn't last through the winter without it. We really saved their bacon!
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Huh? I don't see any pigs...
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): It's a...never mind. Oh, I almost forgot. The village is throwing a feast in our honor tonight!
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Really? That's... Oh, that's not good... There must be another way...
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): Huh? I thought you'd be excited to hear—wait, where are you going?

(screen fades)

• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Mia... I...
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): Come on, don't tell me you've suddenly lost your appetite. Is that even possible?
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): The village needs that food for the winter. It isn't right for us to eat it... Especially me. If I started eating, I wouldn't know when to stop...
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): Well, I can't argue with you there. But I think it's very noble of you to think like that. We don't have to go. Besides, saving the people of Askr is its own reward, right?
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Askr... Yes... I suppose the Order of Heroes has a bunch of resources at its disposal... Now that we've helped out, maybe the dining hall staff will be a little more friendly... They'll have to keep the kitchen open for us, now. We can eat our fill!
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): So it's a feast after all, then! For once I'm happy to hear you talk about grub. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's head back and chow down.
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Right! I hope they're ready for us. I'm starving. Heehee...

Bridal Brawl

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Larum (Bridal Blossoms): Hehehe... It's almost as if this bridal festival was tailor-made for me! Daddy thinks I'm ready to be a blushing bride, after all, and I don't plan on disappointing him! This isn't going to be easy, though. Not when Lord Roy's had his eye on a certain someone for a while now... But never say never! This thing isn't over until the vows are exchanged. And with these handmade Stamina Lunches, I'm gonna have everyone swooning over my cooking in no time! Everyone knows the stomach is the surest way to someone's heart, and that's where these come in. If you think about it, I've got it all! I'm cute, I can cook, and I can even dance if he ever needs to entertain guests! How could he NOT fall for me? Anyone could see it! Whew! Is there anything you CAN'T do, girl? I have to say, I scare even myself sometimes. Speaking of which, I'd better get these lunches in the hands of the hungry before they go cold!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Larum (Bridal Blossoms): Whew, handing out all of those Stamina Lunches took forever. But what a response! Some people turned green, but that must have been from envy! Not sure what the blue was about, though... There's no question who Lord Roy is going to choose to accompany him down the aisle: me! Now that that's taken care of, I am a bit hungry. Hmm... Can't have my stomach rumbling at the altar... Maybe I should take a bite of this last Stamina Lunch that I tucked away for later. Good thinking, Larum! Oh, right! I almost forgot I prepared this one especially for Father. I'm sure he'd love it, but... Where IS he? And is he going to make it in time for the ceremony? I'm sure he'd be thrilled to see his darling daughter beaming on her big day! I've always dreamed of the day that he'd escort me down the aisle, and now it's practically here! I'm going to show everyone how far I've come and how much I've grown since he adopted me! Wait... Now that I think about it, getting married means we can't live together anymore, huh... Oh no, he'll be so lonely! Maybe this whole ceremony thing can wait just a bit longer after all. I'm sure Lord Roy won't mind. True love lasts forever, right? How about we just call this a dress rehearsal, then? Don't worry, Father! Practice makes perfect!

Summer Aside

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Micaiah (Summer Vacation): Just as I think I've surely grown tired of watching the waves, I find a view more beautiful than any before it. We mustn't forget to thank the summoner for inviting us here. Don't you agree, Yune? The only thing that would improve the scenery is being able to share it with Sothe...
• Elincia (Summer Vacation): Oh! Hello, Micaiah. I did not expect to see you here... I hope I'm not disturbing your alone time.
• Micaiah (Summer Vacation): Not at all, Queen Elincia! I was just wishing I had someone to share this view with, in fact!
• Elincia (Summer Vacation): It's only natural to want to enjoy a paradise like this with others. I understand the feeling well. There are a number of people I would be pleased to have join me here, in fact.
• Micaiah (Summer Vacation): Oh! "A number"? So many? Heh.
• Elincia (Summer Vacation): What's wrong with that, hmm? Ah, perhaps you were imagining the company of one person in particular... Is that it?
• Micaiah (Summer Vacation): Well, I— It's not what you're thinking.
• Elincia (Summer Vacation): Of course, of course... You know, I cannot remember a time we've had a chance to chat like this. Shall we...make up for lost time? I feel like there's so much I have yet to learn about you!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Micaiah (Summer Vacation): I see...a scene, bathed in light... Brimming with energy, but at the same time, peaceful and serene... This vacation will surely prove both relaxing and fruitful for you, Your Majesty.
• Elincia (Summer Vacation): I am glad to hear it. Your ability to tell fortunes is a wonder to behold, Micaiah. But I do have one question... Are you able to see anything about those who aren't present? I was wondering about Lucia and Geoffrey, specifically, you see... I was hoping to get my siblings something as a souvenir, but... I am unsure of what to get them!
• Micaiah (Summer Vacation): Hm... That sounds like a topic that a friend would be better equipped than a fortune-teller to answer.
• Elincia (Summer Vacation): Yes... Of course! Now that you say that, you're right—I was just overthinking it.
• Micaiah (Summer Vacation): Perhaps... But your thoughtfulness and care for others is why so many hold you in such high regard. It's clear you care for those around you, and everyone likes to feel that they are valued.
• Elincia (Summer Vacation): My family and friends are what matter most to me. Lucia, Geoffrey, my lord Ike... I hope to do right by all those who I have fought side by side with. Questions about me aside, there is something I've been meaning to ask you... Who was it you were thinking of earlier?
• Micaiah (Summer Vacation): *sigh* I'd hoped I'd managed to change the subject with my fortune-telling routine...
• Elincia (Summer Vacation): Haha. It will take more than that to evade me, I'm afraid.
• Micaiah (Summer Vacation): Fine... Consider it my summer souvenir to you. But this stays between us, all right?

Life & Death 1

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• ???: Eir... Lady...Eir...
• Eir: Wh-who are you? This is... How have I arrived at the Death Gate?!

It has been too long since our last reunion, Lady Eir.

• Eir: You... I remember you. You were Hel's handmaid. Ganglöt.
• Ganglöt: Ah, so you have not forgotten your time with us. Yes, I served Lady Hel. I did everything I could for her... But then Askr's Order of Heroes came and took Lady Hel from me, and it was you who brought them.
• Eir: ...
• Ganglöt: The dead are restless, and they wander with no one to follow. I grieve over an empty realm that has lost its ruler.
• Eir: Why are you telling me this? You cannot be expecting me to return here to take my mother's place... I won't do it!
• Ganglöt: What makes you think I would have you? You gave up your right to succession.
• Eir: Then what do you want with me?
• Ganglöt: This.
• Eir: *gasp*
• Ganglöt: Hm. The Order of Heroes has trained you well if you were able to avoid that.
• Eir: Wh-what do you want?!
• Ganglöt: You should know the answer to that question by now. I have come to ruin you, just like you ruined Hel.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Eir: ...Ngyah!
• Ganglöt: With your defeat, I will rise as ruler of the realm of the dead!
• Eir: You want to rule yourself?!
• Ganglöt: Of course. The legions of dead require an overseer. So long as you remain, some may object to my ascension. Therefore, as a practical matter, you must be disposed of.
• Eir: N-no... I refuse to believe this!
• Ganglöt: Well then, I should hurry back. Have a good sleep, Lady Eir. A sleep that you shall not wake from.
• Eir: Help, Kiran...

(screen fades)

• ???: ...Eir! Eir... It's time to open your eyes, Eir.
• Eir: Urgh... I'm still alive? How? What happened?
• Ymir: Oh, good. It worked. I'm so glad!
• Eir: Who...are you?
• Ymir: Ah... Of course. You must not remember. Well, then... I am Ymir. I am the dragon of life's realm—the realm you come from.
• Eir: Why...can't I remember?
• Ymir: Well, though you may not recall, we were once very close, you and I. In our realm, back then, you lived with the king and queen, in the castle. You were always smiling and being cute as a young child.
• Eir: Were the king and queen...my real parents? How could I have forgotten so much?
• Ymir: Though I knew this would eventually come to pass, it still saddens me to see you in such distress now... Please know that I have always kept you in my thoughts, Eir. And now, because you and your comrades were able to defeat Hel, I am able to appear to you like this. But I was too late...
• Eir: That's right! Ganglöt... She tried to kill me. How am I still alive?
• Ymir: I gave you my life. It was the option that let me save you.
• Eir: What do you mean? You are standing right in front of me, talking to me.
• Ymir: Hah... So I am. You, however, are the only one who can see me. I exist only for you now, Eir. Within you, I remain.
• Eir: You gave up...your life for me?
• Ymir: Shed no tears for me, Eir. I made this choice willingly, and would do so again. It is only right, since all the suffering you were subjected to...was because of me. That was all my fault.
• Eir: What? I...don't understand.-->

Opening Supplement

• Nifl (Taken by the Tide): This heat... The sun here borders on brutal... Why do mortals subject themselves to such direct exposure? And so happily, for that matter... Do they dream of living lives entirely in weather like this?
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): Oh! You wouldn't by chance be...
• Ylgr (Summer Returns): Lady Nifl? The god of ice herself?
• Nifl (Taken by the Tide): You two... Both of you? You both carry my blood in your veins. Are you related to Fjorm?
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): In fact we are! I'm Gunnthrá, Fjorm's elder sister. And this is our younger sister, Ylgr. I apologize for appearing before you dressed as we are now... We had not expected to meet Lady Nifl!
• Ylgr (Summer Returns): Like Gunnthrá said, my name is Ylgr! I'm so happy to meet you, Lady Nifl!
• Nifl (Taken by the Tide): ...

Ending Supplement

• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): Would you care to go swimming with us, Lady Nifl?
• Nifl (Taken by the Tide): The sun is hateful against my skin. I would rather not. Seeing that crowd there, however, I do understand this place offers desirable experiences for some. It must be difficult to live in Nifl, a land of constant snow and ice.
• Ylgr (Summer Returns): Not at all! The beach is fun, but Nifl is good too!
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): Living in the snow is not the easiest life, I will admit. But our culture and traditions in Nifl have been shaped to warm us when our bodies grow cold... That sense of togetherness is something we cherish.
• Nifl (Taken by the Tide): But had I not granted Hvergel the power of my blood... the claim could be made that your people could have lived together in a land free of snow and ice...
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): Fjorm told us you were thoughtful and kind, Lady Nifl. You certainly live up to her praise.
• Nifl (Taken by the Tide): Silence. Any more such talk and I will be forced to dunk the three of you in ice.
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): Lady Nifl, I know you have a reason for pushing people away, but... I will not make you revisit your pain. I just want you to know that we are truly happy to have been born in Nifl.
• Nifl (Taken by the Tide): ...
• Ylgr (Summer Returns): Hey! Do you want to play with us, Lady Nifl?
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): Now, Ylgr, we have interrupted her solitude enough. We should be going.
• Ylgr (Summer Returns): Oh... All right...
• Nifl (Taken by the Tide): Wait. Take this.
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): A...frozen treat? Where did this—
• Nifl (Taken by the Tide): I acquired it not long ago. I was told it was an extra. You need it more than I do. I won't be swimming, and you two must also suffer in the sunlight, so it will do you good.
• Ylgr (Summer Returns): Yay! Thank you, Lady Nifl.
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): ...
• Nifl (Taken by the Tide): Now, please leave.
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): Yes! Of course. Excuse us, Lady Nifl. Hee hee... She is just as kindhearted as I had expected her to be... One day Lady Nifl's heart will thaw, and then we'll all be able to laugh and have fun together. I know it!

Life & Death 2

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Ymir: The day Hel invaded the realm of life, I was helpless to stop her. Mine is the power to grant life... Hel, on the other hand, took the lives of all those she encountered, showing mercy to nothing and no one. I wanted to save everyone that I could, any way I was able, and so I gathered their souls, and I... I hid them in you, Eir.
• Eir: In me? What does that mean?
• Ymir: As a member of the realm of life's royal family, you are able to carry a great number of lives. But when Hel attacked, you were still very young, and you held only one life within you. And so...
• Eir: Then all the many lives I had were...
• Ymir: Yes. Those lives were the lives of what was once your realm—the realm of life. As long as you lived, I thought, those souls could be released again, and the realm of life could be rebuilt. That is why I did what I did. But then Hel learned of my plans.
• Eir: ...
• Ymir: Because of what I did, you suffered the pain of death after death at the hands of Hel... I am...so very sorry, Eir.
• Eir: There is no need to apologize... You were only trying to save the realm of life, weren't you? Ganglöt was able to take my life due to my own weakness. You have nothing to atone for... And what's more is that you sacrificed your life, for me.
• Ymir: You are such a kind, gentle soul, Eir... I was able to keep you among the living, so I regret nothing. I do, however, have one request to ask of you...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Eir: What can I do? Tell me, and I will do anything you ask.
• Ymir: Thank you. You should know, though, that it may unearth painful memories from your past. As Hel took the lives held within you, they were released into the realm of the dead. Now, they wander there, lost. I need you to gather them.
• Eir: The lives of all the denizens from the realm of the living? My...lives?
• Ymir: Yes. I hoped to gather them and return them to their lives in our home realm, to resurrect it. Alas... In light of all this, please, will you do what I could not?
• Eir: Yes. Of course, Ymir. Anything. Although I have no memory of it, the realm of the living is my home. You said I was...its princess? If that is true, then it is my duty, and I will see it through.
• Ymir: You have grown so very strong, Eir... To think that the tiny baby I knew back then has grown so...
• Eir: Y-you knew me from when I was that young? When I was a baby?
• Ymir: Of course! Why, there were even times when I changed your diap—
• Eir: I-I understand! Th...that's quite enough. I believe you.
• Ymir: There's no need to be embarrassed! You were so very cute back then... The day you were born was warm and particularly beautiful—as if your arrival was already a blessing. I could not wait to see you when I heard, and I rushed to the castle to meet you. The king and queen beamed down, looking over you with such love... I will never forget it.
• Eir: ...
• Ymir: I would carry you on my walks in the forest. You would giggle whenever I made the flowers around us bloom. That little giggle brought me such joy... I would put the forest into full bloom before I knew it... Not everyone was pleased with that... Hee hee!
• Eir: Ah... Hee hee!
• Ymir: There's that giggle I remember. You may be grown now, but that laugh of yours has not changed. I want for you to live a life full of such laughter. The worlds should not be deprived.
• Eir: I am unsure how... I'm not even sure why I laughed just now.
• Ymir: Don't worry. I will help you to laugh. I'll show you beautiful, joyous things all throughout the many worlds. But first, I must show you to where the lost dead of our realm wander. As long as we keep our distance from Hel's castle, Ganglöt will not detect our presence, so don't worry.
• Eir: Then let us depart... Once more, I return to the realm of the dead...but what is this feeling? Is this...fear? Or...

Opening Supplement

• Leila (Risk and Reward): Phew... Now seems like an opportune moment for a rest. There are so few chances around here... Curious that the people of this world seem to have the time and resources to enjoy such festivals... Is this what it would be like to live in a time of peace? I could put my spy life to an end, and Matthew and I— Eep!
• Matthew: Oh! Hello. Sorry about that. I was just looking for someone, and—
• Leila (Risk and Reward): Oh, Matthew! I was just thinking about you. You know...
• Matthew: Hm? Have we...met?
• Leila (Risk and Reward): What? Matthew. It's me. Don't you recognize me?
• Matthew: Oh! I get it. Nice try, but this little trick of yours won't work on me! My heart already belongs to someone else, I'm afraid...
• Leila (Risk and Reward): Ugh! Fine! See if I care!
• Matthew: Huh? Where's she off to in such a hurry?

Ending Supplement

• Leila (Risk and Reward): *sigh* I knew he didn't have an eye for the finer details, but still... I can't believe he didn't recognize me just because I changed my clothes and put on a mask... I'm questioning everything!
• Matthew: Oh! There you are! You...ARE Leila, aren't you?
• Leila (Risk and Reward): I don't know! Am I? How can you know for sure? Do I LOOK like Leila?
• Matthew: Don't be like that. Earlier, I just... I just couldn't believe my eyes! You were so beautiful!
• Leila (Risk and Reward): Really... How convenient! You are an even bigger fool than I thought if you believe that will earn you forgiveness.
• Matthew: What? Then...what can I do?
• Leila (Risk and Reward): Hmmm... I suppose you'll just have to bring me something shiny to help me feel better. That's what this festival is all about!
• Matthew: Something shiny, hm? Like what?
• Leila (Risk and Reward): It's part of your job figure that out! Now get going!
• Matthew: Wow. Merciless!
• Leila (Risk and Reward): Prove to me your talent as a thief outweighs your lack of attention to detail! ...Steal my heart, if you will.

Life & Death 3

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Ganglöt: Rise, Líf.
• Líf (Arcane Blade): ...
• Ganglöt: As the new ruler of the realm of the dead, I have granted you new power. You already know what you must do with it.
• Líf (Arcane Blade): You want me to kill Eir, who was once princess of what is now your realm... Am I correct?
• Ganglöt: It is. I thought I had finished her myself, but it seems she was able to use some power unknown to me... It must be some power granted to her by dint of her place of birth, as she used it to revive herself. I would finish the job myself, but the responsibility of ruling the realm demands my attention. As ruler, I should not need to deal with such petty matters with my own hands.
• Líf (Arcane Blade): ...It is beneath you. But I will carry out the task.
• Ganglöt: Yes, in Lady Hel's name... As you are a warrior sworn to serve the realm of the dead, I will allow you to move freely. I trust your abilities. In order to keep this realm running smoothly, I hope to make good use of them. But know that as ruler I now hold power over the armies of the dead. Should you think to betray me... remember I can use that power as I please, but I have chosen not to. You, too, can be made to serve. Though I prefer this arrangement...
• Líf (Arcane Blade): ...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Ymir: Ah, there they are... These wavering shadows are the souls of the realm of life.
• Eir: Come to us, souls of the realm... Everything will be all right.
• Ymir: These souls will now rest within you, Eir. It may be overwhelming at first... Do you feel well?
• Eir: There are so many... How many are left?
• Ymir: Only a few more now... One seems to be lingering behind—
• Eir: Lingering? Is it different somehow?
• Ymir: Look out, Eir!
• Líf (Arcane Blade): ...
• Eir: You! ...Líf?!
• Líf (Arcane Blade): Hello, Princess Eir. My apologies, but I have come to kill you. You die here and now.

Opening Supplement

• Mordecai (Bite of Flame): Is Mordecai so scary? Others only run away. No one will spar...
• Lyn (Bite of Flame): What are you doing out here all alone, Mordecai? Everyone is back at the festival, having fun.
• Mordecai (Bite of Flame): That is the problem. No one will try to fight Mordecai...
• Lyn (Bite of Flame): Ah. I see... Well, facing you in hand-to-hand combat could be quite an intimidating proposition. But there must be someone who will be willing to spar with you! I have nothing pressing to attend to... May I help track down some opponents for you?
• Mordecai (Bite of Flame): That would make Mordecai very happy! Thank you.

Ending Supplement

• Lyn (Bite of Flame): Sorry for making you wait, Mordecai! I brought some festival sparring partners for you. What do you think? They should be strong enough that you won't have to hold back, right?
• Benny: Will this take long? The birds are starting to get hungry...
• Gonzalez: Ah! Mine hungry too!
• Benny: Oh? In that case, here. Take some spare seed.
• Mordecai (Bite of Flame): Such cute birds! Every one... Your friends?
• Benny: They are. This face intimidates most people, but the birds don't seem to mind it.
• Gonzalez: Same with me. Birds not afraid. Birds come and say hello.
• Mordecai (Bite of Flame): Mordecai understands. We three think the same. We will get along well... Oh! Wait here! Mordecai will call more birds to share.
• Lyn (Bite of Flame): Hey! Wait a minute! What happened to sparring, and the festival? You said you wanted opponents!
• Mordecai (Bite of Flame): Right. Thank you for finding new friends for Mordecai. But time with friends not fighting always better than fighting.
• Lyn (Bite of Flame): Oh... I suppose I can't argue with you. Still, this is unexpected. But I'm happy I could help find you friends who share interests beyond festival sparring!
• Mordecai (Bite of Flame): Hah! We make our own festival!

Life & Death 4

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Eir: Yaaahhh!
• Ymir: Eir!
• Eir: Líf, please! I have no wish to fight you!
• Líf (Arcane Blade): I have cause even if you do not.
• Eir: You...what? What happened to the woman who accompanied you? Thrasir, wasn't it? You two seemed to always travel together...
• Líf (Arcane Blade): ...She and I were freed from the realm of the dead when Hel was defeated. But there is a new ruler: Ganglöt. And we dead are now under her command. Nothing more.
• Eir: No... It can't be...
• Líf (Arcane Blade): Once made, a contract with the ruler of the dead can never be broken. The higher powers, with whom I've made another bargain, may see fit to issue conflicting commands... In which case, it will likely be the end of me.
• Eir: What are you saying?
• Líf (Arcane Blade): Forget it. But know that Thrasir and I cannot allow ourselves to disappear from this world just yet. And so, Princess Eir...I must take your life. I am sorry.
• Eir: Wait! I have something I must say! Please, listen!
• Ymir: Eir. In your current condition, you are no match for him, and he will almost certainly kill you. Release the power that I have granted you. Use that power to stop him!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Líf (Arcane Blade): Gah! I did not expect you to put up such a fight. You are...different from the Princess Eir I knew. What has changed?
• Eir (Life Ascendant): Just as Ganglöt granted you new power, so too have I been granted a strength beyond my own. Please, withdraw.
• Líf (Arcane Blade): I...cannot.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): I know you have a kind heart... You were once the same person as the Alfonse I know... I do not believe you would fight solely for yourself, so...you must be fighting for Thrasir.
• Líf (Arcane Blade): ...
• Eir (Life Ascendant): Let me face Ganglöt. I will defeat her and free you from her grasp.
• Ymir: Eir! That will no—
• Eir (Life Ascendant): Líf and Thrasir are where they are because of Mother... I cannot absolve myself of all responsibility for what happened to them... Líf, you can trust me. I will make certain you are both freed.
• Líf (Arcane Blade): ...You do not understand the promise you're making. Ganglöt has inherited all of Hel's power. In terms of the number of dead she commands, she no doubt surpasses her former master. What faith can I possibly have that you will succeed?
• Eir (Life Ascendant): I want to free the two of you from her control... But not only that—I want to free the former denizens of the realm of life as well. To achieve that goal, there is no getting around a confrontation with Ganglöt. You need not wait long.
• Líf (Arcane Blade): You...are a completely different Eir than the one I once knew.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): If I am different, my growth is all due to Prince Alfon—due to you. That is how I kept on living. Together with [Summoner], they... Everyone around me helped me keep going.
• Líf (Arcane Blade): ... I can allow you one day. No more.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): Oh! Thank you, Líf... You will not regret this!
• Líf (Arcane Blade): ...

(screen fades)

• Ymir: Eir...
• Eir (Life Ascendant): I am sorry for acting selfishly, Ymir. Though I am a princess of the realm of life, I am...also a daughter of the realm of the dead's ruler. I cannot abandon them...
• Ymir: I understand. This is the type of person you are. No matter what comes, I will support you. Together, we can surely attain victory over Ganglöt.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): Thank you, Ymir... I am so glad to have you with me in this.

Opening Supplement

• Duma (Divine Harvest): Hmm... It seems that every child runs from me as I approach. It has happened too often to be chance. I may be ill suited for this festival after all. You should go on without me, Mila.
• Mila (Divine Harvest): I will do nothing of the sort, Brother. We are meant to spend this time together, in celebration. Is it so surprising that children would flee at the sight of a dragon such as yourself? I suspect not everyone will flee from you though...
• Duma (Divine Harvest): What makes you so sure?
• Mila (Divine Harvest): There may be only few, but there are those in this world with whom I am familiar. They do not fear me, so they should have no fear of you either. Let's go see them. Follow me!

Ending Supplement

• Boey: Oh... Uh... Trick or— You know what? Just treat! Treat or treat? Do you... like treats? ...Don't hurt me!
• Duma (Divine Harvest): Well done. Here, a treat for you. For your courage.
• Boey: I, um... Thank you, sir!
• Mila (Divine Harvest): Well done. Look how happy you made him, Brother! Now, your turn, young lady.
• Mae: M-me? I, uhh... Psst! Celica! Do we really have to do this?! I'm not sure it's such a good idea!
• Celica: We received an invitation from the Earth Mother herself! O-of course it's a fine idea.
• Mae: I'm fine with the Earth Mother, but why is Duma there? Who knows what he's up to?!
• Boey: Ugh, my heart is beating faster than that time we ran into that group of necrodragons... Why do we have to go through this? Haven't we suffered enough? If we didn't have to go through it alo— You know what? I'm going to gather everyone I know from Valentia. I'll be right back!
• Mila (Divine Harvest): Did you hear, Brother? That boy is bringing more trick-or-treaters.
• Duma (Divine Harvest): Let them come! Let them see that ours was the greatest harvest festival of them all!

Life & Death 5

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Eir (Life Ascendant): We've arrived. This was the seat of Mother's power, from which Ganglöt now rules... ...Are you sure this is our best course of action, Ymir? We have not yet collected all the souls from the denizens of the realm of life...
• Ymir: I am sure. We must. There are souls sealed within the castle itself.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): Within Hel's castle? Then, that must mean that Mother was the one who brought them here...
• Ymir: It seems likely.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): But...why? Ahh!
• Ganglöt: You are even duller than I had believed, Princess Eir. And what of Líf now? Do not tell me you were able to defeat him...
• Eir (Life Ascendant): Then I will not. But what I will say is that I have changed since last we met. And this time, it will be me who emerges victorious. And I will save everyone in the process!
• Ganglöt: Fool. The power of life is nothing in the face of death itself. With Lady Hel's power now mine, any strength you may have gained is nothing to me. Since you have forgotten so quickly, I am now forced to remind you!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Eir (Life Ascendant): Nyaahhh!
• Ganglöt: If your mind cannot, surely your flesh must now understand, at least. You...are nothing!
• Eir (Life Ascendant): This power...surpasses even Hel's...
• Ymir: Eir, that is enough. We must run! If this continues, there will be no coming back for you this time!
• Eir (Life Ascendant): But what about Líf... And the final souls within the castle...
• Ymir: Eir! You will die! I will not be able to save you.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): Whatever happens, it will be all right, Ymir. This is a fate that I cannot escape. I am the daughter of Hel. Ganglöt will not rest while I live.
• Ymir: If you are determined, there is nothing I can say to sway you. Although I was unsure at first... I've had an idea.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): What is it?
• Ymir: I must remind you of something that may cause you more pain, but...do you trust me?
• Eir (Life Ascendant): ...I do. If it means saving those I care for, I will do whatever it takes. You have my every faith, Ymir.

Opening Supplement

• Cherche: Festivals are quite fun, aren't they, Minerva? At least, I think so... You, on the other hand, don't seem yourself today... You've been on edge since this morning. What is it? All of the boy wyverns putting you on edge? Ah, so that's what's going on, is it? With so many around, I can see why that might be the case. A bit overwhelming, I imagine. But perhaps there is one among them who would make a suitable mate, hmm? Just leave it to me! I'll find you the ideal suitor before this festival is over!

Ending Supplement

• Cherche: I'm sorry, Minerva... I thought I found you the perfect suitor, but...he was already taken! I tried as hard as I could, but it was still all for nothing... Heehee! Hey! That tickles! Are you trying to cheer me up? Thank you, Minerva. You're so kind... And strong, and cute... You're the best wyvern a girl could ask for! No use moping around, right? Today may not be the day, but I will find you a suitable mate one day! Until then, we have each other as partners, and I could not ask for any better! Ah ha! I'm glad you agree, Minerva! Well then, time to stretch those wings of yours! Viewing the festival from above is sure to be a rare joy all its own.

Life & Death Finale

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Ganglöt: What are you mumbling? You choose to pray in the face of your death? ...I will allow you that much. I have not yet mastered the supreme mercilessness commanded by Lady Hel...as much as I hate to admit it.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): ...
• Ganglöt: Have you finished? Then let us put an end to this. With your death, I will stand as ruler of the dead, unchallenged.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): If you wish to derive your power from my death as Mother once did, then so be it. I cannot, however, allow you to have your way with the lives of others. That is why I must stand against you, and stop you here—even if it means I die in the process!
• Ganglöt: A noble gesture, but meaningless. What do you hope to gain? ...All this feels familiar. What is this feeling? A memory of some soul Lady Hel once sealed away, perhaps? Hm.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): What are you saying?
• Ganglöt: ...Forget it. You are about to die. There is no need for you to know. The moment for talk has passed!
• Eir (Life Ascendant): The time has come, Ymir!
• Ymir: Yes!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Eir (Life Ascendant): Unghh...
• Ganglöt: Hrrgh... I did not expect to need to put forth such effort... I must take Eir's life as my own quickly. Otherwise my own body will soon fail...
• Eir (Life Ascendant): ...
• Ganglöt: Prepare yourself, Princess Eir!
• Eir (Life Ascendant): Aaahh...
• Ganglöt: Yes... I can feel your life-force coursing through me! This must be the power of the realm of life! Heh heh... Ah-hahaha! You have my thanks, Princess Eir. With this power at my command, I will become the perfect, merciless ruler of the realm of the dead!
• Ymir: ...I cannot allow that.
• Ganglöt: Wh-who said that?! No... It can't be. That voice came from...within me!

• Ymir: I am Ymir, the dragon of the realm

of life. You could not perceive it, but I was within Eir all along. When you took Eir's life as your own, you drew me into you as well.

• Ganglöt: What?!
• Ymir: I did not choose this. But it was Eir's wish that we defeat you, no matter the cost. We faced you, knowing full well the futility of standing against you. And we fell to you, as planned. All so you would absorb Eir's life-force...and with it, me.
• Ganglöt: No! You can't be— You intend to destroy me from within?!
• Ymir: I'm sorry, Eir—sorry to have caused you so much pain, time and time again. I will end this now.
• Ganglöt: You fool! Stop this! Forgive me, Lady Hel!
• Ymir: Good-bye, Eir. And farewell, my beloved brethren, all of those who once called the realm of life home. You are free now... I only wish I could see what you will do with that freedom...

(screen fades)

• Eir (Life Ascendant): Urghhh...
• Thrasir: She stirs.
• Líf (Arcane Blade): It seems you kept your promise, Princess Eir.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): Líf, Thrasir... I don't understand. To have defeated Ganglöt, I was meant to have died. There was no way around it...
• Thrasir: That is how we were freed. Thank you, Princess Eir.
• Líf (Arcane Blade): When we found you here, the spirit of a woman stood lingering at your side.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): Ymir... It must have been Ymir!
• Líf (Arcane Blade): No... That was not the name she gave. She said she was...your mother.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): My...mother? Could it be that the last soul my mother had sealed away was... her own?
• Líf (Arcane Blade): She said she was once the queen of the realm of life. Ganglöt's death freed her, but...she gave her life to you, her daughter.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): Then, that is why I'm still alive? No... Mother...
• Thrasir: We were to tell you her love would live on, forever. With that request, she disappeared.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): Mother... My real mother... I do not even remember her face, and yet...she threw away her own life to save mine... Together, Ymir and Mother...they saved me. I owe them everything.
• Líf (Arcane Blade): If that is how you feel, live on. Live your life in a way that would make them proud. You have that power within you.
• Eir (Life Ascendant): You're right. That is what I must do. Líf, Thrasir... What will you— *gasp*

(screen fades)

• Eir (Life Ascendant): They're gone. They, too, had their fates thrown into chaos by Hel... Yet they chose to fight, to rail against the fate that was laid upon them... I must do the same. I cannot linger in my grief and sadness. I will live on, for the future. I will do all I can with this gift of life I've been given. And one day, I will return the realm of life to its rightful state... How I will make that a reality, I do not yet know, but... I have a feeling that when I do, I will meet you again, Ymir... Hm. Strange... Having hope for the future is new for me. I will need to get used to this feeling. I know it is because you live on inside me, Ymir—alongside my true mother... I know I am not alone now, for I have you both with me. Always. Now, we will return home, to the Order of Heroes, where my friends await me.

• Sharena: Alfonse, hurry! This way!
• Alfonse: Sharena, slow down! If you keep running like that, you'll slip on the snow and fall.
• Sharena: Huh? He's not here. Strange. I saw a winter envoy who looked just like Zacharias over this way.
• Alfonse: It must have been someone else. I find it difficult to imagine Zacharias participating in a festival like this.
• Sharena: But there is a possibility, isn't there?! Even if he was a Zacharias who'd come from another world, I would... I would like to see him again.
• Alfonse: Sharena... I would like that too. All right. We'll split up and look for him! I'll head this direction.

• Sharena: *huff* *puff* I can't find Zacharias anywhere! *sneeze*
• Alfonse: We should head home, Sharena. The sun set some time ago. You'll catch cold if we don't head in soon.
• Sharena: But, Alfonse... Fine. You're right. Maybe...I did just see someone else and imagine it was him...

(screen fades)

• Sharena: Alfonse! Look, look! Presents!
• Alfonse: You got one too? I woke up to this resting near the hearth.
• Sharena: Mysterious presents, delivered anonymously... Could it be?
• Alfonse: The thought crossed my mind.
• Sharena: That winter envoy I saw... He delivered these presents!
• Alfonse: All while staying out of sight, keeping his distance. How like Zacharias.
• Sharena: That's right! I'm so happy, my heart is going to burst!
• Alfonse: Thank you, Zacharias, wherever you are. You've made this an unforgettable winter festival. I hope I can thank you in person... some day.

Renewing Gifts

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Panne (Gods Renewed): Well then, now that we've visited the shrine, this might be a good chance to spend some time together.
• Yarne (Gods Renewed): Wh-what?! I mean, if you want to, that's fine, but... Should I be worried?
• Panne (Gods Renewed): Could you relax for once? I've heard Hoshido has a tradition of presenting gifts to those younger than you. Like, for example, a little bit of spending money. Here.
• Yarne (Gods Renewed): Whoa! Are you giving me all this? Seriously? All right!
• Panne (Gods Renewed): Yes, but please do not waste it. I trust you know how to spend this wisely.
• Yarne (Gods Renewed): Thank you, Mother! I will! All right, what should I get with this? Hehe...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Yarne (Gods Renewed): Umm, Mother...
• Panne (Gods Renewed): What is it, Yarne? Have you decided how you want to spend that money?
• Yarne (Gods Renewed): You could say that. Although, you could also say I kind of...already spent all of it.
• Panne (Gods Renewed): Already? That was fast. You didn't waste it, did you?
• Yarne (Gods Renewed): O-of course not! See?
• Panne (Gods Renewed): A hair accessory... Wait, is this for me?
• Yarne (Gods Renewed): There was a stand on the way to the shrine. To be honest, at first I was planning to just get it for myself. But, as I was looking at it, I realized it would look really good with your kimono, and, well... Yeah, it's for you.
• Panne (Gods Renewed): *sigh* I see. Perhaps I should have told you not to spend it impulsively, rather than to not waste it. However, thank you. You've made me very happy.
• Yarne (Gods Renewed): Hehe... Giving gifts like this is what parents and children do, right? I'm glad we can get closer like this.
• Panne (Gods Renewed): So am I. This year is looking to be a good one.

Daughters of the Black Fang

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Nino (Sage of Khadein?): Ah! U-Ursula...
• Ursula (Sage of Khadein?): My, my, if it isn't Nino. What a surprise that someone like you was invited to Khadein as well.
• Nino (Sage of Khadein?): ...
• Ursula (Sage of Khadein?): Speak your mind, child. But do remember that we are bound, so fighting is sadly not an option.
• Nino (Sage of Khadein?): I don't want to fight. I just want to know... Why did you—no, why did Sonia do such terrible things?
• Ursula (Sage of Khadein?): That's a question better answered by Lady Sonia herself. I am but a servant of her absolute perfection. Is that all, then? I will take my leave. Why don't you stay out of my way, hm? For both of our sakes.
• Nino (Sage of Khadein?): ...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Ursula (Sage of Khadein?): So, those who wish to wield Khadein's most powerful magics must use the sacred orbs. Tsk, I suppose my hands are tied. Forgive my failure, Lady Sonia...
• Nino (Sage of Khadein?): Ursula.
• Ursula (Sage of Khadein?): Oh, it's you. I seem to recall kindly encouraging you to stay out of my way earlier.
• Nino (Sage of Khadein?): You said... Sonia is perfect, right? She told me that too, that she is perfect and I am worth nothing. But I don't understand. How can someone judge whether another person has value or not like that?
• Ursula (Sage of Khadein?): ...
• Nino (Sage of Khadein?): I couldn't do much, so I studied and practiced my hardest so that I could be of more use. I thought that maybe if I studied, then I might learn what you and Sonia meant by "perfection." But the more I studied, the less I understood. The world is complicated and big, so what seems useless here might be useful someplace else. You just have to make the connection. So, there isn't anything that has zero value. I think that goes for people too.
• Ursula (Sage of Khadein?): I'm astonished. What a shame that you could study so hard only to arrive at such a naive conclusion. It's laughable to think that you could ever reach Lady's Sonia's level. You will always be garbage.
• Nino (Sage of Khadein?): Wh-what?
• Ursula (Sage of Khadein?): The summoner seems to prefer those sentimental ideals, which is too bad. But that's what sets me apart.
• Nino (Sage of Khadein?): Ursula, you know you'll end up all alone if you keep talking like that, don't you?
• Ursula (Sage of Khadein?): What's the loss in that? As long as I have Lady Sonia and keep striving for perfection, what else would I need? Are we done here? Talking with you is a waste of energy.
• Nino (Sage of Khadein?): Hey, wait! ...She's gone. What a lonely person. I wonder if that's why she needs Sonia so badly. I guess I know the feeling... It makes me sad, but I think I understand Ursula a little better now.

The Prince's Secret

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Effie (A Special Gift): Mmmrf... Ah, the Day of Devotion... Perfect time to show Lady Elise my appreciation, but the food... Mmm, the food is even better than the gift-giving. If only we could celebrate the same festival in Nohr. But how would we get them to adopt it? I guess the royal family could just make a decree. Hmm, I wonder if Lady Elise would do that... I should go ask her! She's probably down at the festival grounds right now. All right, I'm off! Hold on... What's that aroma? Oh, it smells delicious! It's coming from beyond these trees... I shouldn't let myself get distracted. I've got to go see Lady Elise. And yet... Ah, what could it be?! If the smell is this delectable, the taste must be... I've gotta know!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Effie (A Special Gift): The aroma's so strong now... It's got to be—oh! Is that you, Lord Leo?
• Leo (A Special Gift): Effie? What are you doing here?
• Effie (A Special Gift): Following my nose. And it looks like it's led me to quite the spread. Let's see what we have here...tomato salad, tomato sandwiches... A vegetable stew, looks like mainly tomatoes...and pasta with, of course, a tomato sauce. I'm seeing a pattern. I guess you really like tomatoes, huh?
• Leo (A Special Gift): Ugh. This is why I go so far out of my way to eat in privacy.
• Effie (A Special Gift): Lord Leo, I have to ask... Did you actually take every tomato dish from the entire festival feast for yourself?
• Leo (A Special Gift): Of course not! This isn't everything! I only took a small portion from each of the best ones. And I brought it all here so I wouldn't have to listen to my whole family mock me for eating only tomatoes. Now, since I've said entirely too much, I must order you, as your prince, to keep this between us.
• Effie (A Special Gift): Of course. Don't worry. I understand.
• Leo (A Special Gift): You do? You don't think this is a bit... strange, or anything?
• Effie (A Special Gift): Not at all. And your secret is safe with me. I would like a small favor in return, though, if you don't mind.
• Leo (A Special Gift): I have a bad feeling about this, but... you have my attention.
• Effie (A Special Gift): Oh, it's nothing unpleasant. In fact, I think both you and Nohr stand to gain from it. Hehehe...

True Luxury?

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Bernadetta (Spring Eternal): Aah! What now?! I thought I had made it through the worst after the winter festival ended, but... What's with this weird outfit? How many times must the goddess put me through such trials and tribulations?! Hmph... But... Bunnies are pretty cute. With their soft, fluffy fur. Heh heh...
• Ashe (Spring Eternal): Oh, hello, Bernadetta!
• Bernadetta (Spring Eternal): Aah! A-Ashe?! I'm sorry! P-please, just leave me alone!
• Ashe (Spring Eternal): Leave you alone? It's not very often that we have the opportunity to celebrate a festival. It'd be a waste to not at least try to enjoy it, don't you think? Why don't we go to the courtyard? It looks like a lot of people are gathering up there.
• Bernadetta (Spring Eternal): C-courtyard?! I-I'm not kidding when I say leave me alone! If I were seen in public like this, I'd... I'd... ...
• Ashe (Spring Eternal): A-are you OK?!
• Bernadetta (Spring Eternal): Oh, I'm sorry. I fainted for a second. A-anyway. Leave! Me! Alone!
• Ashe (Spring Eternal): You really want to be left alone that badly? But it wouldn't feel right to just leave you here... Hm... What should I do?

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Ashe (Spring Eternal): ...Huh?! Wh-what was I...
• Bernadetta (Spring Eternal): Good morning. You seemed to be having a nice nap...
• Ashe (Spring Eternal): I...I was sleeping? In the middle of the festival?! Argh, but I wanted to help make it fun for everyone!
• Bernadetta (Spring Eternal): You always seem to be working so hard. You can't help it if you get tired sometimes... Besides, th-the weather is really nice right now, so...on days like this, it's best to just relax and do nothing.
• Ashe (Spring Eternal): Hm... You're right, the sun does feel nice. Doing nothing and relaxing is quite the luxury...
• Bernadetta (Spring Eternal): Isn't it?! That's what I've always wanted to say! Everyone is busy doing this, that, and the other thing. It's too much. As for me, I'm enjoying the ultimate luxury during this festival like I always do... The luxury of doing nothing!
• Ashe (Spring Eternal): I could agree with that in this moment, I suppose...but you don't get to enjoy festival merriment every day...
• Bernadetta (Spring Eternal): Looks like he'll fold if I push him a little more... Time for an ultimate relaxation tactic: surrounding him with fluffy bunnies so he can't resist the coziness!
• Ashe (Spring Eternal): Hm... Mmm...

Promising Youth

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Rebecca (No Matter Where): Geez... The Order of Heroes sure has some amazing folks. Kings, queens, even gods... What could a simple village kid like me offer compared to them? Was it a mistake to bring me here? The summoner told me not to worry about this kinda stuff, but it's hard to keep my mind off of it. I need to figure out—hold on, is that a voice?

(screen fades)

• Mia (Unlikely Friends): Hey, keep it together! One foot in front of the other!
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): I can't...take another step...
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): Come on, Ilyana, how many times has this happened this week? Fine, I'll carry you. Just sit tight...
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Food... I need food...
• Rebecca (No Matter Where): Whoa! What's going on here? Did that girl just collapse?
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): She does this sometimes. Claims she's too hungry to move.
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Ah... You are newly summoned, yes? It was so nice to meet you. If only we had...more time...
• Rebecca (No Matter Where): Hang in there, Ilyana! If you need food, I guess I could share some of my packed lunch...
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Oh, really? So kind of you...
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): Whew. Thought she was gone for good that time.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Mmf... Grrf... Ahh. Thank you for the meal. It was deliciously acceptable.
• Rebecca (No Matter Where): Whoa, you wolfed that down like it was nothing! You must have been completely famished.
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): You made those packed lunches yourself, right? I gotta say, they looked super tasty.
• Rebecca (No Matter Where): Yeah, I'm a pretty good cook!
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): I, for one, cannot wait to see where your culinary career takes you with the Order of Heroes! I'm certain they'll have you whipping up banquets and feasts in no time.
• Rebecca (No Matter Where): Um... You think so? I'm not so sure I can be of use to them at all, actually...
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): Why? Because you're young? Don't sweat it. Ilyana and I are pulling our weight and then some!
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Your packed lunch was exquisite. Please, have faith in yourself. You have the makings of a master chef.
• Rebecca (No Matter Where): W-well, if you say so... Heehee... Oh! Since we're hitting it off so well, will you be my friends? I'm Rebecca!
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): I'm Mia, and this is Ilyana.
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Rebecca, it is my deepest and most sincere desire that our friendship may stand for all time...
• Rebecca (No Matter Where): Mia and Ilyana. Got it. I can't believe I've made two friends already! Things are really looking up.
• Mia (Unlikely Friends): Well, maybe hold that thought until Ilyana's appetite comes roaring back.
• Ilyana (Unlikely Friends): Now that you mention it... All of this chitchat has set my tummy rumbling...

Bridal Business

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Anna (Bridal Dreams): Alright, enough dillydallying. Let's see those smiles, everyone! Three... Two... One... Aaand done!
• Sigrun (Bridal Belonging): My, what a splendid picture. This will make a wonderful memento indeed. Thank you.
• Anna (Bridal Dreams): Don't mention it! Still, while I'd love to stop and chat, we need to keep the line moving, sooo... NEXT!
• Larum (Bridal Blossoms): Oh! Is it finally my turn? I can't wait to show Father how cute his lovely Larum looked in her very own wedding dress!
• Anna (Bridal Dreams): Right, right. I know you're excited, but please hold still. We wouldn't want you to end up out of frame. ...All right, looking good. Ready or not, here we go! Three... Two—
• Alfonse: Ah. I thought I heard a commotion, and who should I find but another of Commander Anna's sisters...
• Anna (Bridal Dreams): Ack! I mean—Prince Alfonse! How nice to see you on this fine day!
• Alfonse: Wait... That looks like Commander Anna's Snapshot tome. Don't tell me you're planning to—
• Anna (Bridal Dreams): What, sell these lovely portraits? No way! I would never charge anyone for this special service. Listen, Alfonse. Strutting around in a wedding dress is something that every girl dreams of. After they get back to their worlds, they may not have another chance to put on such a showy display. But! With the Snapshot tome, I can capture this wonderful moment for them in picture-perfect form!
• Alfonse: I can see why people appreciate having these pictures, but that's exactly why I need to make sure. Anna. Are you really not planning to turn a profit from all of this?
• Anna (Bridal Dreams): I swear on my trusty ledger!
• Alfonse: Very well... Please, carry on. As far as anyone else need be concerned, I neither saw nor heard a thing.
• Anna (Bridal Dreams): Attaboy!

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Anna (Bridal Dreams): Whew. Has everyone had their picture taken? I don't see anyone else in line, at least. Guess that means it's time to hand the Snapshot tome back to my sister. Buuuut before that, I'd better make copies of everyone's pictures. Y'know, just in case. Things get lost or destroyed all the time, so keeping a backup is sure to pay off in the end, right? There's definitely no ulterior motive here. Nope, none at all! ...Alright, that should do it. Now to return the... Hmm. Maybe there is one last customer after all... But how do I angle this thing? Well, here goes nothing. Three... Two... One! Hehe... Quite the looker, if I do say so myself. Is this how the other girls felt? I'm definitely starting to get the appeal! Getting your picture taken while dolled up is a real thrill. I guess I never really thought about how it feels on the other side of the tome, huh? Wait a minute—doesn't that mean I did something REALLY good for those girls? Something so good, in fact, that I might just be forgiven for making a few secret copies of their pictures! Well, that's enough excitement for one day. I'm sure my sister wants her tome back already. Still, doing a good deed sure feels great. I could definitely get used to it!

Summer Lifestyle

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Catherine (Summer Longing): Ahhh. No patrols, no responsibilities... Our only job today is to sit here and stare out at the ocean.
• Shamir (Summer Longing): Yes. The sound of the waves is so calming, I may just have to take a nap...
• Caspar: There they are! Catherine, Shamir! You guys want to go for a dip? I'll show you how fast I can swim!
• Leonie (Summer Vibrance): I think Shamir would rather stay and have me show her my new trick. I learned how to hit a moving crab with my arrows. You've got to see it!
• Ingrid (Overseas Memories): Now that we've found you, Catherine, would you mind leading me in some beach combat drills?
• Dimitri (Summer Vacation): If you two are training, then I'd like to participate as well.
• Dorothea (Overseas Memories): Everyone, please, can't you see we're interrupting? It's obvious that they want to be alone...
• Edelgard (Summer Vacation): Is something the matter? Why is everyone gathered over here?
• Lorenz: Having a little soiree, it would seem! Naturally, it would be rude of me not to show my face at such an event.
• Shamir (Summer Longing): Ugh, you're all so loud.
• Catherine (Summer Longing): Hey! This is a big beach. How about you find yourselves another spot to settle down? No offense, but we were hoping for some peace and quiet.
• Rhea: Indeed, I think we could do without so much rowdiness.
• Catherine (Summer Longing): Oh, Lady Rhea! Welcome!
• Shamir (Summer Longing): ...

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Ashe (Summer Vibrance): Everyone have something to drink? If you don't, say something and I'll top you up!
• Mercedes (Summer Vibrance): Good food, good company, and a pristine ocean. I can't think of a better combination.
• Claude (Summer Vacation): No argument here. Nothing beats a feast on the beach!
• Hilda (Summer Vibrance): Aren't you gonna eat something, Marianne? Here, let me put some meat on your plate.
• Marianne (Summer Vibrance): Oh! Um, Hilda, I don't think I can eat all that...
• Sylvain (Overseas Memories): Hey there, miss! You like food? I'm throwing a little dinner party with my friends, if you want to— OK, fair.

(screen fades)

• Shamir (Summer Longing): This has officially become a school event.
• Catherine (Summer Longing): Yep. But they look happy, right? Lady Rhea and the professor too.
• Shamir (Summer Longing): I thought we came here for a quiet day at the beach together.
• Catherine (Summer Longing): I know. But look! All of the houses sitting down together for a summer banquet... You gotta admit it warms your heart.
• Shamir (Summer Longing): Hmph. It doesn't make my heart any colder.
• Catherine (Summer Longing): Attagirl! C'mon, let's get over there and join in. Gotta put some food on our plates before it's all gone!

Nihility & Dream 1

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Peony: ...H-huh? Is this...a dream? If this is a dream, then I suppose I can spend some time relaxing!
• Plumeria: What are you doing here, ljósálfr? This is a world of nightmare you've entered here...
• Peony: P-Plumeria! I only just found myself here. Can you...tell me where here is?
• Plumeria: We are in Lady Freyja's nightmare.
• Peony: Lady Freyja's?! That explains the strength of the dream... I've never felt anything like it.
• Plumeria: Of course you haven't. It is the nightmare of Nightmare herself. This is no place for a petal-soft álfr like you, Peony.
• Peony: *gasp* Petal soft? Aww... How cute!
• Plumeria: *sigh* I don't have time for your children's games. I'm looking for Triandra.
• Peony: Oh... Then I'll come with you! Hm? ...Who's that?
• Eitr: Are you...dökkálfar? Do you serve Freyja, Lady of Nightmare?
• Plumeria: Who are you?
• Eitr: I am...Eitr. Forgive me, but I must stop you. There is no way around the commands I've been given.
• Peony: Commands? From who?
• Eitr: She who rules over the nothingness...
• Peony: The...nothingness?! You don't mean the force that pushed the dream realms to the brink of ruin, do you?
• Plumeria: If that is true, then you are the enemy of all dreams...
• Eitr: That is why I ask your forgiveness. I must eliminate you now.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Eitr: Urgh... I cannot fulfill my duty after all... But...if I'm unable to follow the commands I've been given, then... *sob*
• Peony: Enough of that now. We don't have to fight. Why don't you tell us more about yourself? If we can talk about the problem, we'll be able to solve it!
• Eitr: I am...Eitr. I serve the nothingness and the one who rules it... I was commanded to eliminate you. I was told that...Freyja must not be revived... The Lady of Nightmare cannot live again.
• Plumeria: What?!
• Peony: Freyja...alive again?
• Plumeria: Triandra and I have been seeking a way to reawaken Lady Freyja... We eventually found a way. Lady Freyja will return to us soon. Or, rather, she was supposed to.
• Eitr: That is why I was sent here. I am to bring a final end to the Lady of Nightmare and turn the dreams of mortals to unending oblivion.
• Plumeria: It is you and your kind that face your final end!
• Eitr: Eek!
• Peony: Wait! ...Frightening her won't help. I feel bad for her. Don't you? This isn't her fault! If she's been commanded to do this by the ruler of the nothingness, then...
• Plumeria: Petal soft, as I said. If the nothingness has come, we must be on our guard. You remember, don't you, Peony? We once fought the nothingness together—to save the world...
• Peony: Of course I remember. If we failed to stop the nothingness, the mortals would all die, lost forever in sleep. So we fought...and we defeated the nothingness. You, me, Mirabilis, and Triandra—all of us together. ...Hm? What was that sound?
• Plumeria: What did you hear?
• Peony: It sounded like a voice...somewhere far off. I think...I think it may have been Triandra calling out to me!
• Plumeria: Triandra? Why would she call to you over another dökkálfr?
• Peony: Now is not the time for such things. It sounded like her voice was coming from over in this direction. C'mon—let's go! Come with us, Eitr. You have nothing to fear as long as you're with us. Together, we can defeat the nothingness just like we did before, all right?
• Eitr: Th-thank you... *sniff*
• Peony: You too, Plumeria. Come on.
• Plumeria: Come...with you? Hm. For Triandra—but...for you? No.
• Peony: You needn't be like that! Dream-King Freyr always said it was best if we all got along. There's no better time to start than now, I say. But...if you'll only do it for Triandra, so be it! You two must be close.
• Plumeria: Sh-she's is a dökkálfr, like me—and she has always been willing to listen to what I have to say.
• Peony: I like Triandra too. She's quiet, but I can tell she has a kind heart, and I...worry about her. She seems like the kind of person who'd do anything for those she's close to, with no regard for herself.
• Plumeria: Yes, that sounds like her.
• Peony: ...Oh! Is that— I think I can hear Mirabilis talking in her sleep! It's not just Triandra's voice now! Let's go. We have to save Mirabilis and Triandra!
• Plumeria: That half-conscious álfr is no concern of mine. But...if they're already with one another, it can't be helped.

(screen fades)

• Freyja: ... Plumeria... Triandra... Come to me. The realm of dreams depends on you.

Opening Supplement

• Fjorm (Summer Firsts): This heat is intense... I need to find some shade. It's hard to believe everyone is still swimming and running in this heat. Gunnthrá and Ylgr have been here before, and they seemed to get used to the heat, but... I feel faint even in the shade! Th-this won't do... I need to lie down for a moment. ...
• ???: Hm... So she made it here too, did she?

Ending Supplement

• Fjorm (Summer Firsts): Ahh... What a delightful chill... What is— Oh! Some sort of frozen treat? Did someone leave it here for me? What a thoughtful thing to do... It's still cold... Whoever left it for me must still be nearby. I have to thank them somehow, whoever it was!
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): Ah! There you are, Fjorm. We were just looking for you.
• Fjorm (Summer Firsts): Gunnthrá! You got here at the perfect moment. I was about to look for whoever left me this frosty treat.
• Ylgr (Summer Returns): Oh! So Lady Nifl visited you too, did she?
• Fjorm (Summer Firsts): ...Huh? Lady Nifl?
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): That's right. She brought us frozen treats as well. She seems to have developed quite the affinity for them while here. She buys more than she can have by herself, so she gives some to us. She always claims she got so much because they had extra or because the flavors were mixed wrong... She doesn't want to admit she's doing something nice for us.
• Fjorm (Summer Firsts): I see... So it is from Lady Nifl, then...
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): Were you looking to thank her?
• Fjorm (Summer Firsts): I would have, but she snuck the treat next to me as I was resting in the shade with my eyes closed. If I try to thank her, I suspect she'll act like she has no idea what I'm talking about.
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): Yes, that does sound like Lady Nifl... But still, not thanking her doesn't feel quite right either...
• Ylgr (Summer Returns): Oh, I know! There are lots of pretty flowers blooming along the dunes, aren't there? We can use them to make Nifl a flower crown or a necklace and give it to her as a present!
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): What a lovely idea! Flowers would complement her well, I'm sure.
• Fjorm (Summer Firsts): Wonderful! We should hurry and get started. ...Ah, but I need to finish this frozen treat of mine first. It would be a waste to let it melt!
• Gunnthrá (Summer Returns): Heh, true enough... Oh, but, Fjorm... if you eat it too fast, you'll—
• Fjorm (Summer Firsts): HNG— My head! Owowow...
• Ylgr (Summer Returns): Haha! I'm so glad you could join us here this year, Fjorm! This is so much fun. I hope Hríd can join in next year!

Nihility & Dream 2

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Mirabilis: Zzz... Zzz...
• Triandra: ...
• Mirabilis: Wh-where am— ...Had I fallen asleep again?
• Triandra: Yes. You had.
• Mirabilis: I know this is no time to be sleeping... The nothingness is even making its way into dreams. But...together...we can beat it... So let's do...our bes... Zzz...
• Triandra: Let's.
• Mirabilis: *snore*
• Triandra: ... This is Lady Freyja's dream... She must be in this world somewhere. I will find her. I will keep her safe, no matter what it costs me...
• ???: You will not. You will not see her. I will not allow it. I will see your wishes remain ever unfulfilled.
• Triandra: Who are you?
• ???: I am the destroyer of dreams, the ruin of hope... I am the one who rules nothingness.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Mirabilis: Zzz... H-huh? Triandra?
• Triandra: Urg... *cough*
• Mirabilis: Why are you carrying me? What's happening?
• Triandra: Run, Mirabilis. You need to leave.
• Mirabilis: What happened? Y-you're hurt! Triandra, if you're not careful, you'll...
• Triandra: Go. Tell Peony what happened. Tell her to find Lady Freyja... Tell her I learned...the álfar alone are not enough to defeat the nothingness... Go now. Hurry... You must—
• ???: I forbid you. I will not allow it. No álfar will be tolerated.
• Mirabilis: That voice... Even just the voice is terrifying! What do we do?!
• Triandra: You need to go, Mirabilis. Flee! Now!
• Mirabilis: I-I'm...too scared to move! Besides...I can't just leave you here in the state you're in!
• Triandra: Mirabilis...you...
• ???: In the name of nothingness... Greet oblivion, wretched dream!
• Triandra: No!

Opening Supplement

• Byleth (Female): It seems Lysithea and Ferdinand are doing everything they can to make the tea party a success.
• Byleth (Male): Their outfits suit them.
• Lysithea (Invitation to Tea): Professors! Thank you for coming.
• Ferdinand (Invitation to Tea): This way, both of you. I've prepared the finest teas you are likely to ever taste again.
• Lysithea (Invitation to Tea): I conducted endless research to make sure the baked goods were just right. Here is the first tray of treats. There are two more that will be brought out later on.
• Byleth (Female): Thank you...but you two don't need make a fuss over us.

Ending Supplement

• Ferdinand (Invitation to Tea): Professors! How would you like another cup of tea?
• Lysithea (Invitation to Tea): There are still more treats as well!
• Byleth (Female): No, thank you... I'm already quite full, I'm afraid.
• Byleth (Male): You two made us very comfortable. Thank you. This was nice.
• Lysithea (Invitation to Tea): Really? Was it...as good as the tea parties you always host?
• Ferdinand (Invitation to Tea): We hoped to repay the generosity you've shown us so many times.
• Byleth (Female): You don't need to worry about that.
• Byleth (Male): Those tea parties are so we can get to know you better, as your professors. You don't need to repay us for that.
• Lysithea (Invitation to Tea): Be that as it may, I—
• Byleth (Female): I am glad you have enjoyed the tea we've been able to share together. And I look forward to the next occasion we have to share some.
• Byleth (Male): You must have learned quite a bit from all this tea experience. You will have to tell me about it.
• Lysithea (Invitation to Tea): Of course! Much of the process was new to me, so many of the things I've learned are still fresh in mind!
• Ferdinand (Invitation to Tea): This may take some time to cover... Luckily, we've got the best tea available to sip as we talk!

Nihility & Dream 3

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Peony: Hmm... This way. Triandra and Mirabilis should be just ahead...
• Mirabilis: ...I-is anyone there? Please, help!
• Peony: Oh, Mirabilis!
• Mirabilis: Peony! I'm so glad to see you! But Triandra... She's hurt...
• Triandra: Urrgh...
• Peony: Oh no, Triandra! Your poor wings... You must be in pain...
• Triandra: I...will be fine... What's important is that we find...Lady Freyja. We álfar cannot face nothingness without her. Only Freyja, as the ruler of dreams, can stand against nothingness...
• Eitr: I was told...not even Freyja herself could have hope of winning.
• Mirabilis: ...Who's this? Another child trapped in this dream?
• Peony: This is Eitr. She was brought here like we were—and just as suddenly. Isn't that right, Eitr?
• Eitr: Y-yes...
• Peony: What's the matter? You're all right now. You don't need to be scared. This is Triandra, and this is Mirabilis. They're friends!
• Eitr: I believe you, but...well, there is something I must tell you all... Before I do, know that I am not your enemy. And...please don't leave me behind.
• Peony: Of course! I won't leave you.
• Eitr: I'm glad we could reunite with your friends, but...please be careful. It's possible a dream-eater has taken their shapes...
• Peony: I don't think I've heard of dream-eaters before...
• Eitr: They are creatures of nothingness and serve its ruler. They have no form of their own. Instead they nest within dreams and take any shape they please... The dream-eaters destroy the dream from the inside.
• Peony: That's terrible! If there are monsters from the nothingness in this dream with us, we'll need to be on guard... Thank you, Eitr.
• Eitr: It's possible that...the dream-eater is already among us.
• Peony: What?
• Mirabilis: ...Huh?
• Triandra: ...
• Plumeria: ...Why wait to tell us that now?
• Eitr: I-I'm sorry! I thought you might not believe me... I was so scared you'd turn me away...
• Plumeria: ...Or perhaps you wanted to sow seeds of doubt among the álfar. Is that it?
• Eitr: N-no! I...I only want to help you... I'm sorry! Please don't be angry...
• Peony: Don't cry, Eitr. I believe you, sweetie. If any dream-eater dares show itself, the rest of us will team up and send it back where it came from, all right?

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Eitr: *sniff*
• Plumeria: How long are you going to keep being this weepy?
• Eitr: I can't help it... Y-you think of me as an enemy...
• Plumeria: Naturally. If what you say is true, the nothingness may well be lurking among us, taking álfr form... I could be a dream-eater for all you know. If that's enough to make you cry, you are weak... I know, because... I was weak too, when I was a girl.
• Eitr: Y-you were a girl? A...human girl?
• Plumeria: ...When I was young, I knew someone like you. Being around you reminds me of her. I find it annoying. Toughen up. Otherwise, you may not survive long enough to grow out of it.
• Eitr: I know... A pathetic weakling like me can't even—can't even... *sob*
• Plumeria: ... I detest whiny children... How about this: if you'll stop crying, I'll tell you something someone once told me... Someone I love and respect above all others—Lady Freyja.
• Eitr: *sniff* ...Lady...Freyja?
• Plumeria: That's right. Now, listen to me, and I'll tell you what she told me... "Crying doesn't accomplish anything." "If the world causes you pain, you must change either yourself, the world, or both."
• Eitr: ...
• Plumeria: Do you understand? There is nobility in the lesson... A kind strength hides between the words, if you listen...
• Eitr: I-I'm sorry... I don't think I know what you mean... But thank you. I know...you meant to cheer me up. I have to change... Otherwise, I...
• Plumeria: It seems to me you're beginning to understand. Lady Freyja's words have the power to change a person's heart and mind.
• Eitr: I will do all I can to help you. Thank you, Plumeria... Would it be all right if I were to...hug you?
• Plumeria: Wh-what? Th-that would be, er... I understand Lady Freyja's words have had an impact on you, but such affection is far beyond what I deem—
• Eitr: I'm sorry... I don't know what it means, but I just have this feeling I... I have something to give you. There is power in me, and I think I can...share it with you.
• Plumeria: Only a god could be capable of such a thing. Just who are you?
• Eitr: That even I don't know... Everything is confused in my memory... But I do know I want to be your friend.
• Plumeria: I have no doubt of that now, with Lady Freyja's words at work in your heart... And since that is the case... I suppose you can have that hug. Quickly. Before I change my mind.
• Eitr: Thank you, Plumeria.
• Plumeria (Rapturous Dream): This is... This feels like when Lady Freyja and Dream-King Freyr gave us dream nectar and we became álfar...
• Plumeria: The power of a fresh dream is swelling within me... Eitr... What is this? What's happening to me?
• Eitr: Someone's approaching...
• Plumeria: G-get behind me. It may be a servant of the nothingness...
• ???: Plumeria... Can you hear me? Where are you, Plumeria?
• Plumeria: That voice... I-it can't be...
• Freyja: Ah, there you are, Plumeria.
• Plumeria: ...L-Lady Freyja!

Opening Supplement

• Dagr (Winds Offered): Hah! Here we go, here we go!
• Catria (Winds Offered): Wow! I can hardly see your kite it's so high! That's amazing, Princess Dagr.
• Dagr (Winds Offered): Heh. Yeah, well, it's a bit easier to catch the wind when you're this tall. Call it a natural gift! But I wish I could fly around the skies like the kite does... I'm kinda jealous of you, Catria!
• Catria (Winds Offered): Do you want to try riding my pegasus?
• Dagr (Winds Offered): I don't want to crush your poor pegasus or anything, so I'll just stick to solid ground, I think...
• Catria (Winds Offered): Heehee... I know I love the feeling of flying, so I'm sure you'd love it too. While you're up there, above the clouds, you can forget everything and let your worries fall away...
• Dagr (Winds Offered): Huh? What worries? You always seem so...relaxed!
• Catria (Winds Offered): Call it a natural gift... But yes, I do have worries. All sorts, in fact.
• Dagr (Winds Offered): What? Seriously?! Have you tried talking to anyone about them? I mean...I'm here.

Ending Supplement

• Dagr (Winds Offered): Damn! What a story! I'm sorry all that happened... Unrequited love is always messy.
• Catria (Winds Offered): Princess Dagr! Shhh! Not so loud...
• Dagr (Winds Offered): Don't worry! No one can hear anything we're saying over all this wind anyway! *wink* I wish I had some advice for you, but romance has never really been one of my strengths...
• Catria (Winds Offered): That's all right. I don't necessarily want to do anything about it. I'm just waiting for the day I see him and my heart doesn't hurt.
• Dagr (Winds Offered): Catria! You're killing me! C'mere. You need a hug!
• Catria (Winds Offered): Princess Dagr! I-I can't breathe... Mmrph... Oh! The kite!
• Dagr (Winds Offered): Aw, there it goes... Ah well. Catria, I hope one day all your worries float off and away just like that kite. And that you know...it's OK to let go. You can look back on the memories you created flying it and smile seeing you're no longer tied to them.
• Catria (Winds Offered): Hmm... I would like that—though I'm not so sure it'll be as easy as you make it sound...

Nihility & Dream 4

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Freyja: Plumeria, Triandra...
• Plumeria: Lady Freyja... It is a joy to again be in your presence. You are as beautiful as ever.
• Triandra: Plumeria and I have long awaited this day.
• Freyja: Thank you... Both of you.
• Mirabilis: Hooray! Now we can finally relax a little bit... Zzz...
• Peony: Wait, wait! It isn't time to sleep yet, Mirabilis!
• Eitr: That is...Lady Freyja.
• Peony: That's right. No need to worry now, Eitr! Lady Freyja can fight the ruler of nothingness—and win!
• Eitr: That is a comforting thought, but... the dream-eater is still about. Who knows when and how it may choose to strike...
• Triandra: Be on your guard, Lady Freyja. The ruler of nothingness has invaded this world. She plans to end your life...
• Ginnungagap: I forbid you.
• Mirabilis: I-it's her!
• Ginnungagap: I am Ginnungagap, ruler over nothingness, ender of dreams. I am hope's ruin. I am the silence that swallows all dreams. Lady of Nightmare, my blade will find its hollow, and you will die.
• Freyja: It will be not I who dies here!
• Triandra: Lady Freyja...
• Freyja: Be at ease. I will protect you.
• Triandra: ...Understood, my lady.
• Plumeria: Don't worry, Triandra. Lady Freyja is too powerful to fall here. She's the only one strong enough to defeat she who rules over the nothingness, as you said yourself.
• Triandra: ...
• Plumeria: What's wrong?
• Triandra: ...I'm not sure. I fear what's coming, but I do not know why.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Freyja: ...
• Ginnungagap: ...
• Freyja: Hrrk... This cannot...be... ... ...
• Triandra: Lady Freyja is...gone.
• Plumeria: N-no! Lady Freyja!
• Ginnungagap: This is reality. No dream can survive it. Any that meet my blade also meet their end. Not even the Lady of Nightmare is an exception.
• Plumeria: Lady Freyja...
• Ginnungagap: No dream survives. Wail. Your cries cannot change reality. Freyja is dead. She cannot hear you. All dreams end. I see to it there is nothing that remains. And now your Lady of Nightmare, Freyja, has met her fate.
• Peony: But...if Lady Freyja really is gone, we... How can we...
• Eitr: ...Peony?
• Peony: ...Eitr, we...we can't give up! We have to believe there's still hope! There's a way to defeat the ruler of nothingness, and we're going to find it! And if you get scared, just let me know, and I'll have a big hug ready to make you feel better, all right?
• Eitr: Thank you, Peony... She may need a hug more than I do, though... Lady Freyja's death has left her worse off than any of us...
• Triandra: Lady...Freyja... *sob*
• Peony: Triandra... C'mere. Hush now... Everything will be all right. You'll see.
• Triandra: P-Peony?
• Peony (Cherished Dream): Ah! Wh-where is this light coming from?
• Triandra (Reverent Dream): What's happening?
• Peony: It's gone... But I can still feel the warmth of the light inside me... It feels like Triandra is here with me, inside...
• Triandra: Peony...
• Peony: Did you do that, Eitr?
• Eitr: I don't know... You are both important to me, and...I want the best for you.
• Peony: Thank you, Eitr. We know now that we can't give up. Together, we'll do everything we can to set the world right again!

• Kellam (Merchant's Harvest): Trick or treat! Heh... This is a nice costume, if I say so myself... Folks won't be able to say I blend into the background now! I'm about to be the star of the entire harvest festival! Heh... Maybe...
• Nowi (Trick or Defeat!): Oh, hey, Kellam! You're joining the festival this year?
• Kellam (Merchant's Harvest): That's right, Nowi! I was invited!
• Nowi (Trick or Defeat!): Yay! That's great! Let's go scare people so they give us lots of candy!
• Kellam (Merchant's Harvest): Haha... All right, let's do that. Stand back, Nowi. I've got this...
• Nowi (Trick or Defeat!): No way! I'm going all out—watch! ROOOAAARRR! I'm a dragon!

• Kellam (Merchant's Harvest): Th-this is incredible! I'm no competition here... How could I draw attention from all this?!
• Nowi (Trick or Defeat!): Kellam! Look at all this candy!
• Kellam (Merchant's Harvest): At least everyone's having fun. Nice work, Nowi! Here, why don't you have some of mine too.
• Nowi (Trick or Defeat!): Really? Thank you!
• Kellam (Merchant's Harvest): I may not be drawing eyes, but seeing all these smiling faces makes it all worth it. All in all, it was an even better harvest festival than I could have imagined.

Nihility & Dream 5

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Plumeria: Lady Freyja... It's over. It's all...over.
• Triandra: If Lady Freyja is gone, we have no way to defeat the ruler of nothingness... And...a world without Lady Freyja is not one worth living in. It is better to let it end.
• Peony: No! We can't give up! Eitr gave us this new power, so we can't just give up now. Lady Freyja would say the same, I'm sure! If we combine our strength...
• Mirabilis: B-but the ruler of nothingness isn't alone... The dream-eater is still out there, right? O-one of us could still be the dream-eater in disguise!
• Peony: W-well, yes, it's possible. But...I'm certain we can solve whatever problems come our way. We just have to find the dream-eater and defeat it along with the ruler of nothingness.
• Ginnungagap: I forbid you. The Lady of Nightmare is dead, and any hope of defeating me along with her. You think you can find and defeat the dream-eater? Know that it is impossible. You have...no...hope. Gather before me, álfar. I will end you one by one, and your nightmare will be over.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Ginnungagap: Abandon hope. That is the only path I allow you. Wake from your foolish dream, face your reality, know that the Lady of Nightmare is dead.
• Eitr: Peony...
• Peony: ... ...No. Lady Freyja is alive!
• Triandra: Peony...
• Ginnungagap: Silence. Wish as you might, you cannot change reality.
• Peony: Listen, everyone! Lady Freyja is alive. And I can tell you how I know. Plumeria, you told me this world is Lady Freyja's dream... How could we still be in her dream if Lady Freyja is dead?
• Plumeria: ...
• Peony: And Triandra, you said the ruler of dreams could defeat the ruler of nothingness. I believe you were right. There is no way Lady Freyja could be defeated by the ruler of nothingness.
• Triandra: Yes...
• Mirabilis: But...she was! It happened right in front of us...
• Peony: It's true... And when we saw her die, we all felt the loss. We all thought it was over for us, that our only choice was to give up. If we gave up, Ginnungagap could destroy us and the dream world.
• Eitr: That is true...
• Peony: Eitr, it was you who told us about the dream-eater. It is a wicked creature that can take on others' appearances, deceiving any dreamers it meets...
• Triandra: Are you saying...
• Plumeria: You're saying that, to defeat us, the form the dream-eater took was not Eitr or any of us álfar... The dream-eater took the shape of Lady Freyja so she could be killed in front of us!
• Triandra: Ginnungagap made sure we saw Lady Freyja die in order to convince us we should give up...
• Peony: Yes. But not just us... She wanted Lady Freyja herself to believe that she had died.
• Plumeria: ...What do you mean?
• Peony: Lady Freyja is in this world now. As the ruler of all dreams, she can defeat the ruler of nothingness... But...what if Lady Freyja didn't realize she was Lady Freyja?
• Triandra: That would mean—
• Peony: Dreams can be strange, but that is what makes them wonderful. Dreams allow us to do anything, become anyone...
• Eitr: ...
• Peony: Dream-King Freyr once told me about Lady Freyja and what she was like when she was young... She was mistreated by others, always fighting back tears... Now, in this dream, you have forgotten who you are... But if you try, you will remember who you are, Eitr. You'll remember you're Lady Freyja...
• Eitr: ...Me? I...am Lady Freyja?

Opening Supplement

• Heather (Our Path Ahead): Wow... This place is...incredible! How does a group of people like this exist all in one place?! The Heroes are all amazing—or at least the women are! Each one is impressive in their own way. ...And they're all so cute too! It hardly seems fair they've been able to spend so much time with one another without me. *sigh* I suppose I'll just have to make up for lost time. I may be behind, but that gap is nothing a little expert intel gathering can't remedy. Though, as a ninja, I must maintain a certain level of stealth during my research... Heh.

Ending Supplement

• Heather (Our Path Ahead): So, she likes reading, does she? Hmm... She must keep to herself. That can be endearing... While she, on the other hand, is totally focused on her training... So more of an active type. Nice. *sigh* They're all so lovely, I can't decide who to introduce myself to first! It's not an easy choice, but...as far as problems go, this isn't a bad one to have. Being summoned here was a real gift... I must remember to thank Kiran. In the meantime, I'll just have to show my appreciation by giving Askr and the Order everything I've got!

Nihility & Dream Finale

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Eitr: ...
• Freyja: ...
• Plumeria: I... Eitr... You're...
• Freyja: ...I remember now. When I was young, the only person who was kind to me was my brother... Everyone else was cruel to me. But he...he was kind—and I loved him for it. And only him. And I became Freyja, Lady of Nightmare.
• Plumeria: Oh, Lady Freyja!
• Triandra: It's really you, Lady Freyja!
• Freyja: Eitr is who I was before this... Even now, she lives within me. I am...truly sorry for the bother I caused you all as Eitr.
• Plumeria: Y-you needn't apologize, Lady Freyja! I should be apologizing to you!
• Freyja: I forgive whatever it is you would be apologizing for. It is because of you I was able to remember who I am. ...Now, I believe we have matters to attend to.
• Ginnungagap: ...
• Freyja: Rotten luck... Unable to kill me, you had to risk everything on that farcical killing of my doppelgänger... All because you know that, within my dream, it is you who is in danger.
• Ginnungagap: I forbid you! Your power is waning, Lady of Nightmare! Mere mortals were able to best you! You cannot defeat me!
• Freyja: I...cannot? Allow me to show you exactly what it is I can and cannot do in this place. Allow me to show you the meaning of nightmare.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Ginnungagap: Savor these final moments, Freyja, Lady of Nightmare. This...is reality.
• Freyja: N-no... I...
• Ginnungagap: Your power has failed you. No dream remains. And now you will fade from memory as they do!
• Freyja: Gyaaahhh!
• Ginnungagap: Do you see, álfar? This is reality!
• Freyja: No. This is your nightmare.
• Ginnungagap: What?! Hng— Damn...you...
• Freyja: I decide when the nightmare ends!
• Ginnungagap: Grah-ahhh... F-foolish... I...forbid you... This...cannot be... Dreams...have no power over reality! ...Nyyyaaagh!
• Freyja: I have no use for reality.
• Plumeria: Lady Freyja! I'm so glad you've returned to us...
• Triandra: I knew we would see you again one day, Lady Freyja.
• Freyja: You poor things... Even after I told you to live for yourselves, you did all this... All for me... ...Thank you.
• Plumeria: We would do it again!
• Triandra: Yes. Happily.
• Peony: ...Um, Lady Freyja?
• Freyja: Yes? What is it?
• Peony: What...happened to Eitr?
• Freyja: She exists only as the shadow of a past I would rather forget.
• Peony: Well, she was...she is someone important to us... All of us.
• Freyja: ...I would rather not put my embarrassment on display, but...she is a part of me. And here, I am in control... So...come forth, Eitr. Show yourself.
• Eitr: Peony!
• Peony: Eitr! Oh, I'm so glad to see you!
• Mirabilis: Yay! Everyone...is safe... Zzz...
• Freyja: Triandra, Plumeria... The two of you brought me back... Which means you must have made a contract with the higher powers.
• Triandra: ...It's true. And we are prepared to fulfill our end of the bargain.
• Plumeria: Anything for you, Lady Freyja...
• Freyja: No. I will not allow that. You are mine. I will not have you following someone else's orders. Even if it means war with the heavens above, I am your master. No one else. Understood?
• Plumeria: Lady Freyja... We've missed you!
• Triandra: We understand. We are yours to command, Lady Freyja.

• Dimitri (Holiday Lessons): I must fulfill the responsibilities of a winter envoy without fail. ...Hm? Quite a few familiar faces in this courtyard. What's going on?

(screen fades)

• Sylvain: They say Dimitri is going to be a winter envoy this year.
• Ingrid: That's an unexpected role for him. It's sure to be fun.
• Felix: What are you two giggling about?
• Ingrid: O-oh, nothing!
• Mercedes: What will His Highness bring us? I can't wait!
• Annette: What kind of gift are you expecting from him? A weapon, perhaps?
• Dedue: ...
• Sylvain: No, no, I don't think it will be that extreme—though it is difficult to know for sure with him.
• Ingrid: If I wake up to a lance in my stocking, I'm not sure how I will react.
• Annette: A lance wouldn't fit in a stocking! Unless it were a really, really long stocking, I suppose...
• Sylvain: It would be stuffed though...

(screen fades)

• Dimitri (Holiday Lessons): ...They can say what they will. It's true, I am not confident in my ability to choose presents, but... We will have to wait for the morning to see how I've done.

Ending Supplement

• Mercedes: A cute, little bear doll! I love it!
• Annette: I've been wanting this sheet music!
• Felix: This blade has a rather fine edge. Hmph. Not bad.
• Ingrid: Thank goodness! Everyone got something they really wanted.
• Dimitri (Holiday Lessons): ...So? How did I do?
• Sylvain: Your Highness! I'm impressed.
• Annette: Yes, thank you, Your Highness!
• Dimitri (Holiday Lessons): I'm glad to hear you're happy. I'm relieved the winter festival has concluded without incident.

• Dedue: Your Highness, this is for you.
• Dimitri (Holiday Lessons): Hm? What's this?
• Ingrid: Something we all got for you.
• Mercedes: You forgot to get yourself a present, didn't you!
• Dimitri (Holiday Lessons): I see... Thank you, everyone.
• Sylvain: Wait... What's that other present you've got?
• Dimitri (Holiday Lessons): Oh, this is from the professors.
• Ingrid: The professors? Huh.
• Annette: We didn't get anything from them... You must have been the only one. That's nice of them!
• Dimitri (Holiday Lessons): Oh, it's something of a reward for performing the role of envoy. ...And I wasn't the only one.
• Mercedes: Why don't you take a seat, relax, and tell us about it? We can all share some nice, warm tea. Spending time with friends is part of the holiday too, after all!

Tempest Trials Mini

To Die on the Battlefield

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Lyn: What a foul spiral... This must be the entrance to the Tempest.
• Marth: That it is. And inside, countless Heroes will stand in our way.
• Hector: So we just gotta take 'em all out, right? No use standing around. Let's get to it!
• Eliwood: Before we go rushing in... Marth, is there anything else we should know about what await us within?
• Marth: There's an incredibly powerful Hero waiting in the depths of the Tempest... When he fights, his axe and his body become as one. He is known as a Berserker."
• Eliwood: A berserker...
• Hector: Now that'll be an interesting fight. But no matter who gets in our way, I'll cut them down. No doubt.
• Marth: If anyone else made such a claim, I might accuse them of arrogance. But you, Hector... I believe fully. Now let's move out. We must restore this world.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Marth: The Tempest is weakening. Your world is saved.
• Eliwood: Marth, I must ask... That Berserker we fought... Was that Hector?
• Hector: Ha! Now that's a jape if I ever heard one. How could we have fought me? I was right by your side!
• Lyn: Even so, it's hard to believe otherwise. His sheer strength, even his very appearance...
• Hector: Hey, what's with all the gloomy looks suddenly? We won, and I feel better than ever. Don't worry about it.
• Marth: It's as Hector says. That was not the man you all know. There's no need to worry. Now let's go make sure our efforts have had the desired effect on your world.
• Hector: You all go on ahead. I want to talk with Marth about something.
• Marth: You wish to speak with me?
• Hector: You say you've seen the future... So does that mean you've seen mine as well? You know what happens next?
• Marth: I do...
• Hector: My axe is named Armads... It once belonged to a Berserker. I remember something he once said... "You desire strength? Then prepare yourself. Once you have gained such power... Your life will not end in a comfortable bed. You will die on the battlefield. In the savage garden of war's bloody delights."
• Marth: The Berserker we fought here received his power by entering into a contract with Armads. And then—
• Hector: I know that story. It's the same as mine. So I guess that means it really is my destiny to die on the battlefield... Don't tell Eliwood and the others, all right? They don't need to worry themselves over this.
• Marth: Yes, Hector... I promise. You really are a true Hero. I am honored to have met you.

Stepping into the New Year

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Marth: It's time to move out, Heroes. The fate of this world rests upon your shoulders.
• Corrin: You can count on us. We'll give it all we've got!
• Marth: There's no doubt in my mind. But... I must ask... What do you intend to use as weapons?
• Azura: Well, I shall smack my foes with this hagoita.
• Takumi: And I shall toss this mochi at mine.
• Camilla: My enemies shall be poked repeatedly with this kadomatsu.
• Corrin: And mine shall recoil in fear at the mere side of Hama Ya.
• Marth: I...see... Perhaps I haven't made the severity of the situation clear. The fate of this world rests upon your—
• Takumi: Well, we were in the middle of preparing for our first shrine trip of the new year when this all happened. Were you expecting us to be armed to the teeth with real weapons of war?
• Azura: Don't worry. If I can wield a pine branch as a weapon and emerge victorious, I'm sure these will serve. The weapons matter not as long as we give it our all! Now let's go save this world.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Marth: The Tempest weakens. Thank you, Heroes. Your efforts have saved this world.
• Corrin: Phew, I'm so glad to hear. That means we can get back to our shrine trip, right?
• Takumi: Our trip was interrupted by this nasty business, so it's only right we get back to it.
• Azura: May I ask, Marth... What will be your new-year wish?
• Marth: A new-year wish? Oh... Well... I suppose my only wish has ever been that no world should become overwhelmed by despair.
• Camilla: Hmm... That won't do.
• Marth: I beg your pardon? Why will it not?
• Camilla: Your idealistic wish is just lovely, dear, but taking on the weight of the world will just suffocate you. Be true to yourself. What's YOUR wish? Tell me something you want for yourself.
• Marth: For...myself? Well... There is one thing I've always wanted, above all else. I wish to see my father again. And all the friends I've lost.
• Camilla: Oh, now that is a lovely wish. Thank you for sharing it with us, Marth. Heehee, aren't you just a little cutie-pie. How would you like to try on a kimono? I happen to have a spare.
• Marth: One of your kimono? N-no, thank you. It does not appear suited to a man such as Marth—uh, as myself...
• Camilla: Oh, is that so? Something tells me it would suit someone like you perfectly well... Come with me, Marth. Let's get you into a changing room.
• Marth: W-wait just a second! Ahem, I mean... My apologies, but I have no time to celebrate with you. Until we meet again, Heroes!

Shrouded by the Storm

Before entering the Tempest Trials

• Marth: And so we meet, Princess Fjorm, of Nifl, the Kingdom of Ice.
• Fjorm: And you are?
• Marth: Call me Marth. I have vowed to fight the chaos caused by the Tempest. Princess Fjorm... I ask for your aid, so that the world might be restored.
• Fjorm: Restored? My kingdom, Nifl, can be saved? Very well. I have resolved to face any battle that would restore my homeland. Even so...
• Marth: Yes?
• Fjorm: You're asking that I throw myself into danger. How do I know that I can trust you in the heat of battle? Can you prove your loyalty to me?
• Marth: I've asked you to have faith in me, and yet I hide behind a mask... I understand. Is there nothing I can do to earn your trust?
• Fjorm: A good question. Perhaps... Yes... May I hold your sword for just a moment?
• Marth: You wish to hold Falchion?
• Fjorm: Yes. That would prove to me that you bear me no ill will...
• Marth: Very well. If that is what it will take for you to believe in me, then I shall let you hold my blade.
• Fjorm: Do this, and you will have my trust.
• Fjorm: Stop! You can't trust her!
• Marth: What?!
• Fjorm: Oh, dearie me...
• Fjorm: Who are you, and why are you impersonating me?
• Marth: Two princesses?
• Fjorm: Oh my, my, my... That didn't take long.

"Fjorm" shifts

• Loki: We were so close to the best part... What a shame.
• Marth: Who are you?
• Loki: I am Loki, an agent of chaos. The opposite of you, my dear... I'll wait for you in the depths of the Tempest. See you later, sweetie.

After finishing the Tempest Trials

• Loki: My, my. So it goes. Not that it matters. I'll simply retreat. For now.
• Marth: Wait! Who are you? What do you want?
• Loki: What do I want? The joy of destroying worlds, and spreading chaos... Would you rather stare at a stone sitting on the side of a road, or watch it tumble down a cliffside? As it tumbles, it may, of course, crumble into dust... And yet...
• Marth: ...
• Loki: If you want to stop me, all you have to do is try. That would also kill my boredom... Farewell, dear Marth. I look forward to our next meeting, my dear.
