Introduction

Can the Divine's Dragon army save the residents of a peaceful village when the Corrupted attack?

Opening

Sean is talking to two of his patients; an old lady and a little girl.'

Sean: These pills ought to clear up the problem. Let me know if the pain persists, OK? And you're looking chipper today! I told you that cold would be gone before you know it.

Jean appears behind Sean.

Jean: Father, isn't it time you took a break? Look, I made you some tea.

Sean: Thank you, Jean. You didn't burn yourself or anything preparing it, I hope.

Jean: You worry too much. I'm old enough to manage a simple pot of tea, I assure you.

Sean: Hm-hm, it makes me happy to see you growing up so fine. Hm? What's going on out there?

An injured man runs up to Sean.

Firenese Villager: Doctor! You have to help us! Monsters are on the attack and people are getting hurt!

Corrupted: Raaargh! RAAARGH!

Jean: What the devil are those beasts?!

Sean: This will get ugly. Jean, go and hide! I'll take care of bringing people to the clinic.

Sean runs into the village to aid survivors.

Sean: This way, everyone! If you're unhurt, then assist someone who's injured! We must pull together!

Jean: I know Father told me to hide, but how can I? I have to do my part too!

Battle

Before battle preparations

Alear: Oh no...

Corrupted: Rrraaaagh!

Firenese Villager: Get moving! There's shelter at the clinic!

Sean: Keep your wits about you, everyone! I'll patch you up once the crisis has passed.

Alear: We can't stand idle with the Corrupted on the loose. Let's save those villagers!

Alear's army make their way to the survivors.

Alear: Are you all right?! Get to safety and leave the Corrupted to us!

Firenese Villager #2: You don't have to tell me twice! But there's still a few left who didn't make it out in time.

Alear: We'll do everything in our power to save as many of them as we can.

Firenese Villager #2: They'll love you for it if you do. You're their last hope at this point!

After preparations

Sean: There are so many wounded we couldn't get to the clinic... Is it up to me to treat them all?!

Jean joins his father.

Jean: Father, I'm here to help! If we split up, we can treat everyone!

Sean: Jean?! I thought I told you to run and hide!

Jean: I can't stay hidden away when there are so many who need my help! After all, Father, am I not your son? You taught me that a doctor does whatever is needed!

Sean: My lessons have sunk in, I see. Very well, then! Come and give me a hand!

When visiting western village

Firenese Villager: Don't know how much use you'll get out of this, but every little bit helps, right?

When someone other than Jean visits the eastern village

Anje: Thank you for checking in on me. Do you think you could use this? There's not much I can do with it, at any rate. Better it should go to a soldier like yourself.

When Jean visits the eastern village

Anje: Jean, get inside this instant! It's too dangerous to─ What? You're helping out the village? Well, if I can't change your mind, then you should have this. And Jean...come home safe.

Alear and Jean talk conversation

Alear: It's not safe here! You should be running!

Jean: I can't. I'm the local doctor's son. I won't leave until I've helped the injured!

Alear: Huh... You've got a lot of heart for a kid your age.

Alear: All right. Let's join forces and save those villagers!

Jean: I really appreciate the help. My name's Jean. Now come on─there's work to do!

After battle

If all villagers survived

Firenese Villager: Unbelievable! All the monsters are gone!

Firenese Villager #2: We're saved! And it's thanks to the lot of you.

Alear: I'm glad no one got hurt. I was a little worried there.

Firenese Villager: You can't know what this means to us. We decided to give you this to show our thanks.

If at least one, but not all villagers survived

Firenese Villager: Are all the monsters really gone?

Firenese Villager #2: There were a few casualties, but at least we're safe now. We owe you for that.

Alear: I don't know if you should be thanking me. If I'd acted faster, I could have saved more lives.

Firenese villager: We're grateful for your help! This isn't much, but we hope you'll accept it.

If no villagers survived

Firenese Villager: Aah... My husband! Where is my husband?!

Firenese Villager #2: Aww, Daddy!

Alear: I let this village down today. I wasn't fast enough, and now so many are gone...

Sean: You still tried, even though you're a stranger here. That's...something, I suppose.

After battle if Jean survived

Jean: Hmm...

Sean: Come now, Jean. Give the nice people a proper thank-you.

Jean: Oh, right. Thank you for saving our village.

Alear: We saved it together. You did well today, Jean.

Jean: Oh! I introduced myself to you, but I never asked your name, did I?

Alear: Well, there was a lot going on. I'm the Divine Dragon Alear.

Jean: The Divine Dragon?! From the land of Lythos?! Oh, please forgive my rudeness!

Alear: Don't mention it. Like I said, there was a lot going on at the time.

Sean: What brings such a splendid personage to our humble village?

Alear: I've been on a journey to defeat the Fell Dragon and bring peace to the world.

Jean: The whole world? Wow. If it's all right with you, Divine One, can I come along and help?!

Sean: Jean! What's gotten into you?!

Jean: My dream has always been to become a doctor so I can save people. And that hasn't changed. But with monsters running rampant, I might die before I can do that. Look what just happened! At the Divine Dragon's side, I think I can learn to fight and to heal people at the same time.

Sean: That's all very well for you, but what about the Divine Dragon? You'd just be a burden.

Alear: Oh, I wouldn't say that. Not if what he did during that battle is anything to go by. If Jean wants to come, I don't mind. Though I understand why you'd be worried.

Anje: Well, if he has your permission, then... I can only ask that you take good care of my boy.

Sean: What? You're actually allowing him to go?

Jean: Father, I told you, you don't need to worry about me. It's not like I'm never coming home. In fact, when I do return, I'll be a first-rate doctor. You'll see!

Sean: How quickly they grow up... Of course, Jean. Be a good boy, a hard worker, and an attentive student. And come home safe.

Jean: I will! Thank you, both of you. I can't wait to start working alongside the Divine Dragon!

Alear: The feeling is mutual, Jean. I have a hunch that I'll be leaning on you a lot in the days to come.
