=== Paralogue The Connector === (Garden of Memories) A mysterious ring is enshrined in a place that feels similar to the Lythos Castle gardens. --- OP --- [Alear] Oh my! Are my eyes lying to me? [Marth] This is quite a surprise. It looks just like the Lythos Castle Gardens. [Alear] So I'm not the only one seeing it? [Marth] It looks like the castle, but it feels like it too. The air, the smells─all of it. [Vander] Right you are. I've served in the castle for many years, yet this vision fooled me at first. [Alear] I know it isn't real, yet I still get a sense of nostalgia looking at it... [Alear] My mother trained me in the castle garden. The flowers were in full bloom...like these. [Vander] I remember it well. Alas, after the attack, that garden has been left in ruins. [Alear] It has, hasn't it... [Marth] Look! Over there! I can see something glimmering. Do you see it too? [Alear] Is that an altar? And on it... There's a ring! [Vander] I thought we'd gathered all the Emblem Rings... Can it be that there were more? [Alear] Perhaps an Emblem we were unaware of? Let's go have a look! [Marth] Wait. I feel a presence... There are enemies nearby. " [Corrupted] [Barbarian] 指輪 4 [Corrupted] [Barbarian] 指輪 Raaargh... [Corrupted] [Corrupted] [Barbarian] Raaargh... [Alear] Corrupted?! They must be here for the ring! [Alear] We can't let them take it! That ring might belong to another Emblem! [Vander] I fight beside you once more, Divine One! [Marth] Hm. That ring... Could it be? --- ED --- [Alear] We retrieved the ring safely! But it doesn't seem to hold an Emblem? Strange... [Vander] Is it but a normal ring? [Alear] It seems so, but when I hold the ring, I feel a warmth stirring in my chest. [Marth] So it's as I suspected. [Vander] What is it that you have surmised? [Marth] The "Pact Ring." It belongs to, and holds the power of, Divine Dragon Monarch Lumera. [Alear] What else do you know about this "Pact Ring," Marth? [Marth] Lumera once said that Divine Dragons will give a special ring to someone they truly trust. [Marth] The ring strengthens the bond between the two and brings them closer together. [Marth] It grants special powers to the Divine Dragon and anyone they make a pact with, of any sort. [Alear] So, Mother...once gave this ring to someone she trusted and had a special connection with? [Marth] That's what I'd guess too. But she'd lost her friends and allies in the war. [Marth] So who she gave the ring to, or if she gave it at all...there's just no way to know. [Alear] Mother... [Marth] But we know that, as long as she lived, the most important person to her was you. [Marth] You should inherit the ring. Give it to your most trusted ally. [Alear] I'll think long and hard before I decide who's worthy to wear it. [Vander] That we've arrived at this place, it must be the work of Queen Lumera. [Alear] It's a happy thought, Mother watching over me. But the fight ahead is my own. I must be strong. [Alear] Let's go. I'm reluctant to leave...but there is much work to do. --- EV --- " [Corrupted] [Barbarian] 指輪 b [Corrupted] [Barbarian] 指輪 Raaargh! [Alear] Reinforcements?! " [Corrupted] [Barbarian] 指輪 b [Corrupted] [Barbarian] 指輪 Raaargh! [Alear] Oh no... They've taken the ring. We've failed. --- MOVIE --- --- BT --- [Corrupted] [Corrupted] [Boss] Raaargh... [Corrupted] [Corrupted] [Boss] RAAARGH! [Alear] This is just like when I fought the soldiers my mother created for our mock battle. [Alear] Mother is gone, but wherever she may be, I'll show her how strong I've become! [Corrupted] [Corrupted] [Boss] Raaargh! --- DIE ---
