[[Lyon]] approaches the temple in the heart of [[Darkling Woods (location)|Darkling Woods]], and encounters [[Morva]]. In Eirika's route, Morva instantly recognizes [[Fomortiis]], while Fomortiis taunts him by bringing up his daughter, [[Myrrh]], who is traveling to Darkling Woods. In Ephraim's route, Morva attempts to convince Lyon that the Demon King is in control and has changed him, but is unsuccessful. In both routes, Morva resolves to kill Lyon to prevent the return of the Demon King.

Line 21: Line 21:


After the battle, once the temple is seized, the twins resolve to stop the ritual to resurrect the Demon King quickly. Myrrh, knowing Morva is dead, laments the death of her father. In Eirika's route, Eirika comforts Myrrh; Myrrh states that she met with her father and he cannot meet the group, though she does tell Eirika of how he has helped her—Myrrh then resolves to defeat the Demon King. Lyon then staggers into the temple, struggling through pain; Fomortiis taunts him about his weakness, and how Eirika will be crushed. In Ephraim's route, Ephraim comforts Myrrh; he deduces that the dragon they faced was Myrrh's father, and encourages Myrrh to not hide her emotions. As Lyon enters the temple, he reflects on the time when [[Vigarde]] died—leaving him with the duty to save [[Grado]] from a devastating earthquake—and when he decided to use Grado's [[Sacred Stone (object)|Sacred Stone]]. Lyon then readies himself for the resurrection of Fomortiis, sacrificing himself for the people of Grado.

===Beginning log===
'''Eirika's Route''':
According to legend, the [[Sacred Stone (object)|Sacred Stones]] have sealed evil away from the world. Four of the fives stones have been destroyed, leaving only the last stone intact. The last stone must be protected to stave off [[Fomortiis|the Demon King]]'s restoration. [[Eirika]] and company challenge the demons of [[Darkling Woods (location)|Darkling Woods]]. According to legend. the original possessors of the Sacred Stones defeated the Demon King in Darkling Woods. His foul blood seeped into the land, corrupting every seed and every root. The once-pristine forest was transformed by the flood of disease and venom. Legend says the Darkling Woods's corpse lies there still, not dead but dreaming. Dreaming of when the last stone is crushed, and he will rise from his bed of rocks and worms and return to the surface. Within Darkling Woods, hideous fiends roam in increasing numbers, as if responding to some unheard call...

Provided Eirika/Ephraim is trained well enough, it may be possible to have a flying unit start next to them and carry them across the map for a speedy victory, dropping them in the patch of forest closest to Morva.
