=== Paralogue The Exalt ===

(Arena of the Gods)
A place of significance to Emblem
Lucina. Here, the Divine Dragon
will face an important trial.

--- OP ---




[Alear]
What is this place, Lucina? I feel a magical
power here.
[Lucina]
This appears very similar to Arena Ferox.
Most curious.
[Alear]
Ferox? That's a place from your world, right?
[Lucina]
Yes. Ferox is a kingdom divided by east and
west, with a militaristic khan overseeing each.
[Lucina]
Every so many years, a fighting tournament is
held to determine which khan will rule them all.
[Lucina]
Arena Ferox is where I crossed swords with
my father.
[Alear]
He taught you swordsmanship, yes? It must
have been an interesting, if fierce, bout.
[Lucina]
Yes. It was a hard fight. He had no idea who
I was and held nothing back.
[Lucina]
He'd trained me well, but that fight was when I
first saw just how strong my father really was.
[Lucina]
That must be precisely why this familiar place
was chosen as a trial ground.
[Alear]
Trial ground? What does that mean?
[Lucina]
We each feel the extraordinary power here.
Tell me what it feels like, deep down.
[Alear]
It's almost like I'm sensing your power...but also
like you're far away.
[Lucina]
Well then, draw your weapon. Fight me. If you
pass the trial, our bond will grow stronger.
[Lucina]
With a stronger bond, you will be able to draw
upon more of my power as an Emblem.
[Alear]
I hope I can learn as much in this arena as
you did.
[Lucina]
That's good to hear. However...
[Lucina]
It's going to require more than hope for you to
win this battle.
[Alear]
You're going to be surprised if you think I'm
only bringing hope to this fight.
[Lucina]
That's the spirit, !

[Lucina]
I lost... Your combat skills have grown
admirably, .
[Lucina]
Compared to when we first met, you've grown
strong and become a formidable opponent.
[Alear]
Thank you. It is in no small part because of your
guidance, Lucina.
[Lucina]
Such kind words. If I helped you at all, then
I couldn't be happier.
[Lucina]
There's a lesson there, you know. What one
person can achieve on their own is limited.
[Alear]
I agree. I couldn't have come this far by myself.
[Alear]
Everything I've accomplished has been thanks
to those who have fought beside me.
[Lucina]
I'm relieved to hear that. I feel my friends close
by, even now. Their spirits live on in me.
[Alear]
Their spirits live on...
[Lucina]
The power of my bonds with them helped us to
change a hopeless future.
[Lucina]
The same as you are now, with your own allies.
[Alear]
You're one of those allies, Lucina. Aren't you?
[Lucina]
Of course! I'll fight with you until the very last.
[Alear]
Then we can't lose. No matter what the world
sends our way.
[Lucina]
You're right! Our bonds are far stronger
than destiny!

[Lucina]
Don't hold back. Strengthen our bond. Fight
with everything you've got, !

[Lucina]
What's wrong, ? You won't win
just by standing there.

[Alear]
Your stance has no openings. I don't see how
I could hit you, no matter where I strike.
[Lucina]
Doubt will only dull your attacks. Trust in
yourself, and come at me with everything!

[Alear]
Understood! Here I come!

[Alfred]
Relax
[Alfred]
Wow, the khans fought in the arena for the right
to rule? It's almost like fate brought us here.
[Lucina]
The khans didn't battle. They picked champions
to fight on their behalf.
[Alfred]
Phew! If that is the case, I think it fortunate that
this place is not the true arena.
[Lucina]
Haha, indeed. Now, come at me!
