(River of Light and Dark)
A place of significance to Emblem
Sigurd. Here, the Divine Dragon
will face an important trial.

--- OP ---




[Alear]
There's something...unnatural about this place.
[Sigurd]
You feel it as well? I've no explanation for it, yet
this place bears a great resemblance to Chalphy.
[Alear]
Chalphy? I've never heard of it. Is it somewhere
in your world?
[Sigurd]
Correct. It is my homeland.
[Sigurd]
I had once thought to lead a quiet life there in
Chalphy, alongside my wife, Deirdre.
[Alear]
What happened?
[Sigurd]
Deirdre was kidnapped by followers of a dark
faith. Her life was twisted to their desires.
[Sigurd]
She was to aid in the resurrection of a dark god,
heralding a new age of terror and destruction.
[Alear]
What? That's awful!
[Sigurd]
Ah, yet there was still light... Still hope for
our future.
[Alear]
How so?
[Sigurd]
I believe I shall share that part of the tale with
you following the trial.
[Sigurd]
Take up your weapon. For I am the trial that
you shall face, .
[Sigurd]
Overcome this trial, and our bond will grow.
My power will become yours.
[Alear]
And we have to fight in this place that is like
your homeland... There's significance to that.
[Sigurd]
Correct. Now earn it. Show me that your skills
are sufficient to surpass my own!
[Alear]
I'll take you down, Sigurd. I'm giving this
everything I have!

[Sigurd]
Well done. You have passed the trial with a
stunning display of skill.
[Alear]
I didn't do it alone. All of us claimed this
victory together.
[Sigurd]
Correct. Friends, allies, family... Anyone with
whom you forge bonds will give you strength.
[Sigurd]
Now, the moment of truth. Do you wish to
avenge the death of your mother, Lumera?
[Alear]
I...
[Alear]
When I lost her, I was sad...and angry. I thought
I could never forgive the one who took her life.
[Alear]
But you asked me if I'd want revenge...and...
I don't know anymore.
[Sigurd]
I lost many friends, even family, in battle.
And yet I find I bear no grudges.
[Sigurd]
I know well the meaning of grief. As well, I know
there is no single truth.
[Sigurd]
I entrusted this knowledge to my son, Seliph.
I hoped that it might guide his future.
[Alear]
Your son? You and Deirdre's, you mean?
[Sigurd]
Indeed. Now listen well. You carry a proud
and noble conviction in your heart.
[Sigurd]
Knowing grief, justice, and truth are subjective,
are you still able to fight with conviction?
[Alear]
Of course. This war will end, and then I will see
to it that the world remains at peace.
[Sigurd]
A perfect answer, my friend...and the one I was
hoping to hear.
[Sigurd]
So, until the fighting is done and gone, I shall be
by your side, watching over you.

[Sigurd]
The trial is thus─find your way to me, and
claim victory!


[Alear]
If we're going to reach Sigurd, we'll need to
cross that bridge.
[Alear]
And if we can capture that fortress, we might
be able to operate it.

[Alfred]
The fortress general's dead! The bridge is ours!
Let's rest a here for a minute, Divine Dragon.

[Sigurd]
Relax

[Sigurd]
On what do you stake your life? Tell me─how
do you imagine the world once your war ends?

[Alear]
I wish for a peaceful world─for myself, my
friends, everyone!
[Alear]
A world that we will build for ourselves, where
no one will be hurt by the greed of others.

[Sigurd]
It requires power to turn a dream into reality.
Show me you have what it takes.



[Vander]
This isn't the first time we've locked swords.
Do you remember training with Queen Lumera?
[Sigurd] Serious

[Sigurd]
Of course. How could I ever allow myself to
forget? Alas, those days are far behind us.

[Sigurd]
So we must move on, you and I, into the future.
We shall not allow her wishes to be in vain.

[Vander]
You had better be ready, Lord Sigurd! I dedicate
this strike...to Queen Lumera!
