Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones Fandub

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“I'm looking for someone. Have you seen a young girl with indigo hair?”
“We have little interest in the outside world, but we do not refuse travelers. I should warn you: the road is not easy, and you look very weary. You should rest a night before attempting the mountains.”

“Material wealth brings strife. We've no need of these things. In this, we are of one mind with the Great Dragon.”
“No... Those things come from Darkling Woods. It's been a long time since they've wandered this far afield. It's as the elder says… Evil omens take many shapes.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Has my execution been moved up on the schedule? Wait. You're not a Grado soldier. Who are you?”
“That's an odd question for an executioner. My name is Knoll. Until recently, I was one of Grado's top researchers in arcane matters.”

“I'll tell you all I know, if you would like. However, I think you will not thank me once you hear it. It all began one year ago… That was when the emperor died. The emperor's health worsened, and then he…”
“After that… His Majesty ordered the invasion of Renais, as Prince Lyon asked him to. Father MacGregor grew concerned with Prince Lyon's health. He tried several times to dissuade him from his path. Prince Lyon executed him personally. I, too, was branded a traitor and arrested. My execution was scheduled for tomorrow.”

“We charge down these cliffs, and the only thing we'll be rushing to is death. How about we find us a nice, gentle path down, hm?”
“What's shameful is the way you drag us around the countryside.”

“My, oh my... It's about time they left. I'm finally done getting ordered about without getting paid. Huh? Oh, don't mind me. Just talking to myself. Here, I want you to hold on to this for me. Don't tell anyone. Oh, and don't say a word about seeing me to Lady L'Arachel, all right? Deal?”
“Ample?! Do you even know what that word means? You're the princess of Rausten! I thought working for you would pay well! Yet your purse strings are knotted tight, and I've almost been killed so many--”

“Don't be foolish, Seth. If it weren’t for you, I would never have made it out of the castle. You are the reason I'm still alive. You have my gratitude. And whoever that man was, he was clearly after me… It's my fault that you received such a grave wound. Allow me to treat it, I--”
“I'm fine… Fine. ...This is war, isn't it? It's not at all like the games I used to play with my brother or Lyon. I never thought-- I didn’t know it would be this...savage. Are words useless? Is strength all that matters? It's so sad… Why would the Grado Empire do this? To what end would they start a war?”
“Yes, but… I am your sister. Sisters are supposed to worry about their brothers. So I would like to learn something of swordplay, if only a little. And maybe, someday, I can protect you in your time of need… So please, Ephraim.”

“It's been so long since I last visited Serafew. My brother and I used to pass through here en route to Grado. I remember the harmony in which the people of both countries lived. No walls divided our borders. No soldiers stood guard in high towers. The border town... It was to me a symbol of the trust between Grado and Renais.”
“My brother?! You lie! A pitiful worm like you could never defeat my brother!”
“I… We, the people of Renais, have long honored our allegiance with the Grado Empire. And you invaded without warning. You ravaged our land. You killed my father… Even then, I told myself, I must not hate Grado or her people. If I gave into my hate, the bond between our lands would be lost forever. I refused to hate. Instead, I lived for the day our nations would know peace again. But… If this is Grado's true face… If you could extinguish Renais without pity, without remorse… If this is the case, then there is no room in my heart for forgiveness.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“All right, all right. How could I say no? Honestly, once you get an idea into your head, that's it. I might as well give in. It's agreed. I'll teach you, but won't hold back because you're my sister. And I want no complaining once we've started, Eirika.”
“Don't worry. I haven't lost all sense of self-preservation. Renvall holds an important place in Grado's national defense. If we can get the upper hand and take control of it, then Grado will waste many valuable soldiers trying to take it back. I hope our attack proves useful to my father and Eirika.”
“You said your name was Valter, didn't you? Well, I'm sorry, Valter, but I don't have time to waste playing games with you. So, we're going to knock you louts about a bit and then make our way out of here.”

“Father MacGregor became angry. He said "One destined to become king and rule over a nation…must know the history of his kingdom and must respect the Sacred Stones." Ever since I came to Grado, my life has been chastisement and castigation. Father MacGregor does not think me to be altogether too...kingly.”
“I stumbled across Myrrh by chance when Grado's men had ambushed us. Everything she told me seemed beyond belief, and yet… And yet, when I saw her wings, what could I do but believe?”
“Anything's possible. The war is a sudden thing, but Grado and Renais had long been friendly. Before these hostilities, our nations were allies... No, closer even than that. This is the emperor's war, but the hearts of the people are not so swift to change. For example, General Duessel, one of the Imperial Three they call Obsidian… He was the one who taught me what I know about fighting with the lance. Duessel's sympathies are sure to remain with Renais--and with our cause. He is loyal to Grado, but he has no love of war. I'm sure he will speak with me.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Princess Eirika! This way! I can see no more of Grado's men. If we've made it this far, we've surely earned a moment's rest. Please forgive my grabbing you so... brusquely earlier.”
“When I was a recruit, the soldiers used to tell so many tales about him. They called him a daring and fearless fighter for Renais. Master Garcia, you must know the peril our homeland faces right now… Can we impose upon you to lend your strength to Renais once again?”

“It wasn't always like this. The knights used to protect the citizenry… However, with Renais in ruins and her army tattered, law and order are hard to find. It doesn’t look like the Grado army is interested in maintaining order here. If nothing changes, Renais will continue this sad plunge into savagery.”
“...That night... I felt what you felt. When I held you in my arms as we rode into the night... It was the first time since I was knighted that I forgot my duty. I thought of you not as my queen, but rather as someone I wanted to protect from all harm. I wanted to leave everything behind... To take you far away to someplace where we could be together... Those were my thoughts…”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Y-Yes, Your Highness! I met up with Sir Gilliam of Frelia and explained the situation in Renais. He told me that Princess Tana was in danger as well, here at Mulan. We rode as swiftly as we could.”
“Princess Eirika! Please allow me to fight beside you. My elder brother, Forde, is in there with Prince Ephraim, Sir Kyle, Sir Orson… Let me help you set them free!”

“I have. I've also finished my training. I'm now a sworn Knight of Renais. You just watch!--I'm going to be on par with General Seth one day!”
“But, General, it's true! Do you remember when Grado's forces overran Castle Renais? Despite grave injuries, you outcharged the enemy, broke their lines, and escaped. And then, you delivered the princess, on your own, to Frelia safely. If I were you, I doubt I could have survived such a challenge... You are the only person I know who can make impossible feats possible.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Too tough to say from here. Princess Tana's in no danger if they want her as a bargaining tool. We men of the Eastern Watch will see her to safety.”
“It was no trouble. I live to serve, Princess.”

“Listen: I'm here by my king's order, and by his order alone. I'm well aware that we have diverse backgrounds and experiences. I don't care who I pair up with. You can't always have your own way. That's just how it works in Frelia. It's luck of the draw, you follow? Do they let you swap partners until you find that special someone back in Renais?”

“People come to talk to me, too. Must be...the wisdom of age or something. But I don't know what to say. What do you do if you have no advice to give?”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“No matter the obstacles, we will perform our duty.”
“Princess Eirika, may I have your leave to scout ahead? From the sky, I'll have a better chance of spotting any nearby troops.”

“I'm here with Prince Innes! We arrived to join the fray! We'll take over now. There's no need for you to exhaust yourself.”
“Thank you, I guess. I'll do my best... Sometimes I think that if I were more like you--you know, a great knight, an attractive woman, and just all-around perfect-- I'd have a better chance with him. ... Hmmm. That didn't sound as pathetic in my head as it did out loud.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Hmm… That would seem a sensible plan. Assuming, of course, that we can avoid any run-ins with Grado Soldiers…”
“Well, yes, I can heal his injuries with my staff, but… I cannot do it from here. He's too far away. I must be near him.”

“Hmm... Looks like we're on the outside looking in, eh? Even so, the fighting's over. And that's something to be happy about.”
“I am touched... At my age, I thought all my happy birthdays were well behind me. I'm a little embarrassed at that…”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“It's nothing! It's just a scratch! You're a warrior, Dad, and I am your son. I won't be beaten so easily.”
“Hey, listen! My village is being attacked by bandits. My name's Ross. Come on! You have to help me wipe those thugs out!”

“My father is out there all alone, fighting those bandits. I've got to get back to him as quickly as possible! I'm the son of the great Garcia! As long as I have my axe, no bandit will ever defeat me!”
“Did you really think I could just run away while you fight, Dad? You taught me that fighters fight for what's important to them! There's no way I'm leaving! I'm fighting just like you!”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Don't risk yourself so foolishly… We need to get you some help. Please! Someone help my son!”
“...When I was a soldier, I lived my life fighting for my country's honor. I left no time for my family. I spent my life fighting for faceless, uncaring nobles. When my wife fell ill and died, I met the child she had left behind… At that moment, I finally realized what my duty had cost me.”

“Looks like my boy grew up while I wasn't looking… He's tougher then I thought. He doesn’t need my help. I've raised him as best I could, but he's right. I've nothing to hear. I should fight. I will fight.”
“I completely agree. Young men in this army are strong in their specific fields, but weak in others. The art of complete training has been lost on the younger generation, I'm afraid.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“P-p-please, you have to help Colm. You have to! I told him it was too dangerous, but he wouldn't listen to me!”
“Bazba's Bandits... They have a hideout here in these mountains. That's where Colm… Uh, Colm's my...uh...We've known each other since we were kids. He went to steal back something the bandits took from me…”

“Yes, I know. Th-that's what I told him, but he wouldn't listen to me. If I lose Colm, too, I don't know… I...I'll... sniff…”
“Really? Really and truly? Oh, thank you! Thank you!!! I don't have much money, but...I'll do anything to help.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“And here we go! Ha! And not a soul saw me. These bandits are easy picking. I guess I might as well start with these chests here.”
“We don't have a home! Don't you get it? Look, just leave everything to me. I can take care of it in a flash, but I don't need a clumsy oaf like you tagging along.”

“H-Hold on! I'm sorry! C'mon! Don't start bawling!”
“I got your mirror back. Remember how you cried when we left Lark? You thought you'd lost this. I knew it was your mother's, and I knew those thugs had taken it. So I went and got it back! See what happens when you give me a job? Guaranteed results!”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“What have we done to deserve the trials before us? What is happening to us? How could such abominations walk our lands while the Sacred Stones protect us?”
“Yes, er well... Be that as it may, I must go aid those travelers outside. You should stay here within the safety of the village.”

“Travelers, you must listen to me! The ancient forest of Za'ha is dangerous. Head south and pass through this place before the fiends surround you!”
“My name is Artur. The temple has assigned me the task of cleansing the first of these...things. There are so many of the fiends, though. I wonder if I stand much chance alone. So if you would, please flee now while you have the chance.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Those are revenants, aren't they? They were the vanguard of the Demon King in the days of darkness. The Tome of Nazania describes them in chapter 2, section 7, paragraph 8.”
“Duh! I'm a prodigy. I can recall most everything I see or hear. According to the book, revenants attack using razor-sharp claws. Sounds painful, wouldn't you say?”

“Magic is far more powerful than any monster's claws. The thickest hide and the strongest armor are useless against magic's power. Yes, I suppose I could have studied swords, but only magic is worthy of me. Even if this village were to be assaulted by monsters, I could defend it perfectly.”
“No, no. I insist on joining you in combat. I've been reading up on these revenants. They are, quite simply, no match for me. I am superior, after all.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“No, it's not necessary… It was my fault. Excuse me, I must be going… Good day to you.”
“They may not want to hear what I have to say, but… I must speak with one of the Grado soldiers. Oh, if only one of them will listen to my words… Please! Grant me strength.”

“Wait, please… It doesn't matter what happens to me, but you must hear my words. The emperor of Grado is changed. He is not the man he once was. The other nations must be warned before he extinguishes all light from our lands.”
“Of course… A few days past, my mentor was arrested without warning. They executed him. They said he was a traitor… But those were false accusations. The emperor had him killed--A holy man!--to keep him silent.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“...And there she goes. Not my lucky day… She was quite the beauty, too. Ah, such is life. I think I've time still to visit the arena, though.”
“So much for my dreams of making my fortune here… First the girl, now my gold. It really isn't my lucky day.”

“Don't worry, little man. I won't forget. Work's work, but I don't like fighting women… Now then, what's the rest of the day got in store for me? ...Tails, huh? That's nothing but bad luck and more bad luck…”
“Gambling's what I live for. Even when I lose, I never want to stop. Let's have a little wager. If you win, I'll believe you. Heads or tails, you call it.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“It's not looking good. Our weapons are in bad shape, and we're running low on food. We can probably restock at a nearby village, but--”
“Seems as though we've certainly caught Grado's eye this time. Should we retreat back to the capital, Prince Ephraim?”

“Um… Are you...sure you're quite sane, Prince Ephraim? We've an entire army after us, and you want to charge their stronghold?”
“You have a point. I'm sure Renvall won't expect us to attack with these numbers. Either way, we can't run forever. And we're running out of supplies. What've we got to lose? Shall we get ready to go?”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Word of mouth has it that the invasion of Renais has progressed quite far. I've heard that the capital has fallen.”
“We've secured the entire castle. You were brilliant, Prince Ephraim! What a plan! What a battle!”

“"A lot of trouble"? Forde, you're as insolent as you are careless! If anything were to happen to Princess Eirika, we Knights of Renais would…”
“So that's the story behind that picture in your house... I didn't realize you drew it. I remember watching you practice swordplay when we were little. I wanted to be like you, and I was irritated that I didn't practice more. I got so upset with myself when I lost the tournament to you. That's why I work so hard to keep practicing and improving my skills.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Reporting in, Prince Ephraim. I can confirm Grado presence at several points around our camp. Also, a large battalion of soldiers has been dispatched from Renvall. We shouldn't tarry here any longer than necessary…”
“Yes… Prince Ephraim and I were broth captured by Grado Forces and held here as prisoners. I just managed to escape my cell… A chance to escape--It's what I had prayed for…”

“...Very well. You haven't changed a bit, Seth. If only Eirika had been alone. You, however, simply will not be deceived.”
“...Monica, I'm sorry. I have something I must do. Please wait for me here. Oh, darling, don't look so sad. I'll be back soon, and then I'll never leave. I must do this to protect our happiness. You understand that, don't you? All right then. I'll be back.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“I can't! Not yet. We haven’t found Eirika and her companions yet. Eirika is my friend, and she needs my help. I won't abandon her. Oh, I know! Go and ask Father--I mean King Hayden for more troops.”
“I heard that Renais had fallen, and I was so worried… But I'm glad to see that you're safe… Wait! Where is Ephraim? Is he well?”

“Eirika, you don't really intend to go through with this, do you? I can't guess how you must feel, but it's' just too dangerous. What would happen if you were captured by Grado's men?”
“My brother looks upon you as a rival, Ephraim. And as you know, he wants to be the best at everything. The best king, the best general, the best fighter, the best man… He won't allow himself to be beaten at anything.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“...They say Renais has fallen. I believe I warned you before. This happened because you provided Grado the opportunity to strike.”
“A direct visit from the Prince of Frelia is not something they can ignore. I will travel to Jehanna, where I will forge an alliance with her queen. If our Sacred Stone has been destroyed, then Frelia could be in greater danger. Father, I cannot let you leave the nation in such a time of crisis. It is imperative that I be the one to go.”

“Surrender? I'm the prince of Frelia. I don't know the meaning of the word. The fate of the world rides on my shoulders, and I'll make it to Jehanna. Even if I have to crawl to do it.”
“I'm the one they're after. Throw down your weapons, and you'll walk away alive. I don't need you here. You'll only be in my way. Who knows? You filthy sellswords'll probably sell me out anyway.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Hope everyone's well back home in Silva. Just a bit more, and I'll be in the empire. Let's see, I've got vulneraries, antitoxins… Oh! And I can't let myself forget torches for when it gets dark. Yep! I'm all set! Now I just need to get to the capital. I'll be the finest soldier the Grado army's ever seen! I swear it!”
“Sir! I'm Amelia of Silva, sir! I'm new. I was only assigned to your command today. I wanted to fight for the empire!”

“Sir, yes sir! This lance... Stab the enemy. I'm not afraid… I'm a citizen of Grado. It's my duty to fight. And I'll fight my best!”
“I became a soldier because I admired General Duessel's sense of honor. But the generals have been very opposed to this war from the beginning… And now I see you, and you look so sad about all of this. I don't know what's right anymore. I'm just a soldier, but I want to decide for myself. I want to understand the truth myself, to see it with my own eyes.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Naw. You see, Gerik's Mercenaries takes its name from me, Gerik. I'm the chief here. If I quit while our employer still fought on, they'd want a new name, you follow me? So… What's the plan?”
“So we tighten our belts and survive, is that it? Our would you rather quit this place and rest in comfort?”

“Well played, milord. I've always loved the melodrama of martrydom… There's no way I can abandon you after that fine a performance. I'm staying with you. To the end.”
“Yeah, that's one of the rules. Guess we're lousy mercenaries, eh? Now let's get thinking. We still need a plan to get us all out of here alive. You're supposed to be a good tactician, so I figure I won't die easily. Tell us what to do, Prince. We'll follow your orders.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Don't be ridiculous. I'm not going anywhere. Now would the two of you kindly stop acting like such...men? And you! You've already fired us. You can't order us to leave now.”
“Really? Perhaps faith is a good thing. I've never had much before, but perhaps good things do happen to good people.”

“Ewan! How is it… What are you doing here? I told you to wait in the inn and behave yourself, didn't I?”
“Ewan! Shush! You know better than to interrupt people when they're talking. I'm so sorry. Please let me take my brother out of the way. Come on, Ewan. Let's go.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“I hear you. Where do I start killing?”
“You're soft. Leaders are normally harsher than you. You're too nice. Too nice to all of us. That's why…”

“C'mon, Chief. What would YOU like me to do?”
“Hmmm. Your dances give people courage. Dancing suits you.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Aha! Foul creatures, beware! I, L'Arachel, bestow upon you the honor of banishment at my blessed hands!”
“Ah, glad tidings indeed! The heavens must be rejoicing! I am...a tad disappointed however. After all, I did rush all the way here to show you the splendor of my might.”

“Me? Since you ask, please allow me to introduce myself. It is I, the true light and glory of the sacred realm of Rausten…”
“Oh, yes, you're right. Oh, I get so careless sometimes! Now, I must ride off in anonymity. Oh, how beautifully romantic!”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Gwah ha ha! It's a real shame, innit, Lady L'Arachel?”
“Stop! Lady L'Arachel, you mustn't continue! You cannot reveal your true identity here!”

“Gwah ha ha! Wait for us, Lady L'Arachel! Come on, Rennac! We run 'til we drop! The first one to collapse from exhaustion is the winner!”
“Look there! Through that break in the fog… Looks like we've got some nasty creatures running 'bout this place.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Yeah, but you always run off and disappear. It's not fair. I want to have adventures, too.”
“I know. That's why I came to see you. I can help. My teacher finally got around to teaching me some magic. Check this out.”

“Hey, I've got an answer. I know a way that leads over the mountains straight to Jehanna! Want me to guide you?”
“That's what I said. At the top of that mountain, there's a village named Caer Pelyn. That's where my teacher lives. I'm sure he'll lead you through if you ask him nicely.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“If that's what you want, Brother, so be it. But you seem troubled… Don't tell me you're concerned about fighting the princess of a ruined land!”
“Valter! If you dare insult my brother further…”

“This is no longer war, and this is not a battlefield. This is a duel, and I fight to avenge my brother. He died in combat, and I'll not foul his name by murdering you unarmed. But I will have vengeance.”
“I don't care why you're fighting. I've no interest in your goals. I want nothing but revenge, and I will have it. If I can kill Valter with these two hands, what care I if Grado brands me a traitor?”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Hmm… If Grado's troops do not enforce public order, the situation will only worsen. And still, His Majesty has given us no orders. Perhaps, just this once, I should take the lead…”
“That's enough. Both of you. His Majesty summons us. Let's hope we can learn a little during our audience.”

“Your Majesty, you know that I will gladly lay down my life for an honorable cause! But these orders--and all of our recent actions--they are not just! If I saw in any what in which this invasionprotected Grado, I would hold my tongue. But now, Renais is left ungoverned to drown in chaos, and we gain nothing! Why do you wage this war? What is it you hope to achieve? You've sent our men to fight and die for nothing! This isn't war--it's murder!”
“Punish me if you must, Your Majesty, but I implore you! Please rethink this!! If this continues, Grado will--”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Something's coming... It's drawing near. Dark...big...and great in number.”
“I met some wicked folk there. They deceived and enchained me. They stole my dragonstone. Theywere preparing me for transport. It was in that moment when Ephraim appeared and rescued me.”
“Everything comes from that direction. I can feel my lost dragonstone… And that's not all. The dark energy still flows unchecked… I cannot go home while it stains the air…”

“The wave of evil I felt surging from the capital… It hungers... It consumes. It envelops and transforms. This power can tarnish the purest of souls with its corruption.”
(Narration) “The continent of Magvel. For some 800 Years, a quiet peace reigned in the absence of the terrible darkness. The Sacred Stones have been passed from generation to generation. Nations have been built around their power and their legacy.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Are you serious? Grado's been defeated, and still they fight on? And they're tough.”
“Everyone, please remain calm. If you panic and flee, the enemy will simply surround you. If you remain here and don't move, I promise to protect you all.”

“Understood. The chain of command must be clear, though, so I'll take orders from your commander. Pass this message to whoever leads your forces, will you?”
“...Gilliam, you're always telling me to be careful... You know full well I watch over everyone. It's what I do. But you... You're the one who always watches over me.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“I'm Caellach. I was a mercenary, fighting in the desert. Seems I'm to be called Tiger Eye… You're a fine lookin' lass, aren't you? Yeah, I'm gonna love working with you.”
“Hah! So this hunk of rock is a Sacred Stone, eh? So much fuss over something as fragile as this. Watch. It crumbles so easily. Do we gain anything by this? Not that I care, but…”

“Huh? What's this? Still breathing, are you? Come. If you've any last words, I'll hear them, fool of Frelia.”
“Don't say that. You're glad you came with me, right? You know we were both sick to death of living like desert rats. I'm going to be king one day. This war is just the beginning.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“A mercenary named Erina, is it? There's more to to you than that, I feel. But don't worry--it's none of my affair. I haven't told you who I am yet, have I? I am Selena, a general in Grado's army.”
“These aren't soldiers. They're people. Should they suffer because their leaders fight? I've petitioned your aid. Take this as payment.”

“Glen, it doesn't matter what any of us might think of our orders. We are his servants, and we will not question His Majesty's intentions.”
“You do not raise your blade to anyone who is powerless to resist you! The emperor does not desire us to kill without cause! That would be murder!”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Heh heh heh... As you will. I'll begin making arrangements for Rausten's downfall immediately…”
“Heh heh heh… Rise and rage, my precious children of darkness. Ruin the wood and ride the sea! Drown your foes, and devour their flesh! Come celebrate the glorious rebirth of your lord and master, the Demon King! Heh, heh, heh.”

“There's no call for that sort of talk. That one has his uses after all. You can leave the defeat of Ephraim to your subordinates. Oh yes, and you can use the troops I brought with me as well. It will, no doubt, be an interesting battle. Heh heh heh… Let's go now, Caellach. You wouldn't want to hurt a certain someone's feelings, would you?”
“Heh heh heh… Your fangs are still sharp, eh? Good. Very good. Ah, Valter... You're a beast. You're bound to no country. You care nothing for friend or foe. Kill a man, claim a woman... You live for nothing more, you wretched beast. That's your strength. That's what makes you stronger than any man alive. A beast acts without remorse. Man's morality cannot win. It's nature's way… The stage is all yours, Valter. Do not fail to get the girl's bracelet. Our master demands it…”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Captain Saar of the Serafew Border Guard. How fare you? I bring orders from His Majesty. Rumor has it that Princess Eirika of Renais is making her way to Grado. You are to find her and to place her in custody immediately.”
“One more thing… A traitor to the empire has fled Castle Grado. We've received reports she's hiding somewhere here in Serafew. I don't care if you have to tear this town apart. Find the turncoat.”

“Such loyalty to the crown. If only I could hold such conviction in the righteousness of our emperor.”
“When Renais and Grado were still close… I met the girl--I met Eirika only once. We spoke briefly, but I felt she was a woman of great kindness. I cannot bring myself to believe Princess Eirika is evil. I cannot.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“I am Valter, the Moonstone, Grado's finest general! And you’re just a corpse who does not know he is dead.”
“Such terrible wounds, and still he holds to his duty? How entertaining. Fly away, little man. Fly away.  Try to outrun death. More time to savor the hunt...and the kill.”

“So, you've captured Renvall, have you? And with such a small force! Impressive! You've earned your reputation. I must say, I quite admire your work. I take it you're the leader of this pack--the misguided Prince Ephraim.”
“Ha ha... Eirika, eh? She's a ripe little peach. And her brother, Ephraim… He's better prey than I'd imagined. I can feel my blood rushing at the thought. This might be fun after all.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Come now, you know that the flame has been burning since the time of darkness ended. You must know the story that the flame will answer the prayers of any pilgrim!”
“No, I don't think so. I'm not-- One thing I do know from watching my father is that being emperor is hard. Every day, he answers the complaints of the people, and he almost never sleeps… My father is always so very tired… I hope one day that… I hope that I can help him.”

“Oh, no, Eirika. It is. The people need a strong ruler. They don't want a weakling like me. They want the strength you and Ephraim share. My body is frail. I prefer to spend my time locked away in the castle, reading… I think my father would be better served if someone else took my place. I'm sure all of our retainers feel the same…”
(Evil, possessed) “I will make the world Grado's--No, MY plaything. I've been planning this my whole life. Why else would I befriend you and Eirika? I needed to learn where and how to attack and destroy Renais… Thanks to the two of you, I learned all I needed to know. While you feigned compassion for my weakness and scorned me in your hearts.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“...I appreciate your work in fulfilling your previous orders. You are the hammers that drivethe nails of the empire's will… You will continue to operate...without hesitation...wherever I send you.”
“...However, I know this… You, my Imperial Three, lack the strength to conquer the remaining nations alone. In the invasion of Renais, certain soldiers performed beyond expectation. I have chosen them to join you as new generals in the empire's service. ...Come.”

“Frelia's Sacred Stone has been destroyed. And yet you cannot find the Stone of Renais. Glen. Valter. Find the children of Renais. Find them and take from them the bracelets that they wear. Glen, take Eirika. Valter, take Ephraim. Find them. Conquer them.”
(weakly, before becoming evil after his death) “Lyon… When I die… You will become emperor… The emperor...must protect his country. There is nothing more...that I can do. It's you... You must protect our people.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Carlyle... Why have you betrayed us? After all these years of loyal service as Jehanna's most decorated commander… Without you, I could not have ruled these long years since my husband's passing. It was through your unwavering support alone that I still sit upon the throne. You are the cornerstone of Jehanna. You have held my trust more than any man. So tell me why. Why have you betrayed us? Why have you betrayed me?”
“Carlyle... You forget yourself. You ruin our country and kill our countrymen. Did you think I would be pleased? Did you think I would love you for this?”

“...I know nothing of the Sacred Stone's keeping place.”
“Please forgive me, Joshua… I was a foolish mother… I was so intent on being queen that I spared no time to be your mother. But I loved you nonetheless… Please understand…”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“...What else can we do? Order your men to lay down their arms.”
“Eirika. Are you wearing the bracelet I gave you?”

“Me? I shall remain here. We have long held Grado among our dearest allies, yet now, they attack? I must know why. Am I somehow responsible for this? Have I erred in my leadership? Renais is mine to guide… How could I have failed her so?”
“Ephraim, Eirika… You must survive.”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

“Oh, Tana... I'm grateful to see that you're safe and home again! You've no idea how I worried when I heard you were under attack at Border Mulan. You are not to leave again without my permission. Do you understand?”
“Rest assured, Grado will be punished for its cowardly act. This is Frelia's promise. Eirika, please stay here and rest. I cannot imagine how exhausted you must be.”

“I cannot allow it. I know how you feel, but this plan is suicide. I would be betraying Fado's memory if I allowed any harm to befall you. Stay here. Rest and mourn. Leave this war to the warriors.”
“I wish Frelia could provide you with support, with soldiers, but… My son, Innes, is on his way to meet the empire's forces. We cannot spare a single brigade. Your own retinue of knights cannotpossibly face Grado alone. Are you so determined to go?”

[Not required, but I would love for you to introduce yourself before your audition!]

"Heh heh…heh heh heh… Well done, Lyon. The sacrifice of your flesh and the sum of your efforts… They were all for naught. Grado’s disaster cannot be averted. My resurrection is at hand. All this time, you imagined yourself in possession of your own free will, but it was I who planted the seed from which your ambitions grew. My deceit made you my puppet, and oh, how you danced at the end of my strings. You could never have been saved. It’s a shame, isn’t it, Lyon? And now I… I am reborn."
"Come, and face your death! I'm waiting, you miserable fool."

“Gaa…grr… Abominable Sacred Stone… I will not suffer imprisonment again. How? You possess only one… Do not fool yourselves. You cannot fully imprison me… I will grind that wretched rock and your accursed bones to powder!”
