Light (part 2)/Script (Eliwood)

Opening

Eliwood: So these are dragons.
Hector: Look at the size of them. I've got a bad feeling about this. My... My legs are trembling just standing here.
Lyn: There are three of them... I don't know if we can do this. I... We need some kind of help.
Athos: I'll do what I can. I'll halt the dragons. Strike there!!

(Athos teleports to the dragons; two of the dragons attack him with fire breath)

Athos: Ahh... So powerful. Can they be stopped?
Eliwood: Lord Athos! Flee! The dragons are getting closer!!
Athos: ...If we can't stop them here, we are...lost.

(Bramimond teleports to the group)

Athos: Bramimond!
Bramimond: ... Preparations...took time. ...OK. I require everyone's strength. Gather here the legendary power!

(Light flashes)
Eliwood: Ah!! This light...
(Light flashes again)
Hector: Uwaa! What... What is it!?
(Light flashes again)
Lyn: Look! There...!

(Magic focuses to a point; Ninian appears there)

Bramimond: Bring her back... Let the dragon girl's soul be restored.

(Light flashes three times)

Eliwood: Ninian!!
Nils: ...Ah! Ninian...

Ninian: Where... Where am I?
Bramimond: Girl with the exalted blood of dragons. Use that power to appease them.
Ninian: ...Ah...it's not...possible. Use my power...in this world......
Bramimond: Do you not feel it? Your power returning?
Ninian: ...What? ......Ah...... ...Yes... ... ... ... ...I will try.

(Ninian steps toward the dragons; she attacks them with ice)

Ninian: That's enough.
(The dragons fall to the ground)
Ninian: I'm sorry... This is not your fault... ...I'm sorry.

(Two of the dragons disappear; one remains)

Ninian: No...no more......

(Ninian falls; the last dragon stands up)

Eliwood: Ninian!!
Nils: It's OK. She only fainted. Thank goodness... Ninian......
Bramimond: One dragon still remains. Leave the girl to me. I shall tend to her.

(Bramimond takes Ninian and teleports away)

Athos: Chosen ones! You must stop the final dragon! You must save us all!!

Ending

(The fire dragon erupts into flame)

Hector: Eliwood!!
Lyn: Eliwood!
Nils: Lord Eliwood!
Eliwood: I'm here! I'm right here!!
Athos: Well done, brave successor to Roland. It's finally over. Finally, everything is...
(Athos collapses)
Eliwood: Lord Athos!?

Athos: Ha... Looks like I've exhausted my strength. I... I'll die before you, friend.
Bramimond: ...I may well follow you soon. For now... I will sleep again.
Athos: Eliwood... Hector, Lyn... I've lived a long, long time, but now...I'm done. Do not grieve. Soon, I will be with long-absent friends. ...I have no regrets.
Eliwood: Lord Athos!!
Athos: Now...my friends, my family. Let me give you a parting gift... As I lay dying...I see many things. I see the future... Oh... Why? Why...is this not now...? Neither Bramimond nor I...will be...here... to help a land...in need...
Lyn: What...do you see?
Athos: An evil star...rises in Bern... All of Elibe will be once again awash in blood... But do not fear. Once again, Lycia brings hope. Children of fire... ...Everything... ......

Eliwood: Lord Athos... Even at the end...he thought of us...
Hector: ...Graybeard...
Lyn: ...Look, both of you. Lord Athos... It's almost as though he's smiling.

If Eliwood and Ninian did not unlock their A support

Ninian: ...This world will once again be enveloped by darkness... But...at the end...a saving light shall rise.
Eliwood: Ninian!
Ninian: Lord Eliwood...
Eliwood: Good to see you, Ninian.
Ninian: Lord Eliwood... I worried you... Uhm...I... I...wish to apologize......
Eliwood: What? What do you mean?
Ninian: I was...the cause for all of this. It was my weakness that invited this tragedy......
Eliwood: Ninian?
Ninian: Here on Elibe......we were nurtured for ages in the land of our birth. Even after humans invaded and drove us out...... Not a day passed that I did not think of it...... I yearned to see it once again... Our homeland... Those children...the fire dragons... They were like me......
Nils: ......
Ninian: We knew that it was forbidden. And yet we answered Nergal's call and opened the gate... We didn't intend to stay long... Just to see home one last time. But Nergal captured us and...it led to this.
Eliwood: We humans, we took control of the continent like it was our right. We never considered who or what we drove away... ...Ninian, Nils, the blame for this was never yours alone. While we can claim ignorance, we still bear some responsibility.
Nils: ...Lord Eliwood, do you truly believe that?
Eliwood: I do. If my father were here, he would say the same thing. Let's work together and think about the future. If the entire continent were made a place where dragons and humans could live together like the hidden city Lord Athos spoke of, Arcadia...
Ninian: What a wonderful world that would be... But that's certainly something that won't happen for a long, long time. So we...we can't stay here. The gate is still open. If it remains so, other dragons will certainly pass through. Before that happens, we must return to our world. 0We must regain our power and seal the gate...from that side.
Eliwood: Are you saying I'll never see you again? That can't be!
Ninian: Lord Eliwood... I am truly blessed that I have had the chance to meet you. Please... Please... Don't forget me!
Eliwood: Ninian!!
Ninian: ...... Come, Nils. Let us go. We must return to our world...
Nils: Lord Eliwood! Lord Hector! Lady Lyn! ...Thank you! My opinion of humans has changed since meeting all of you. There are humans in the world we're returning to, too. Finding a way to live together may be hard...but we're going to try.
Hector: OK! Good luck!
Lyn: I'll miss you...
Eliwood: Take care! Both of you!
Ninian: Thank you. Be well, everyone...

Hector: Oh, daybreak!
Lyn: Beautiful, isn't it. The start of another day.
Eliwood: Let's go home. To Lycia!

If Eliwood and Ninian unlock their A support

Ninian: ...This world will once again be enveloped by darkness... But...at the end...a saving light shall rise.
Eliwood: Ninian!
Ninian: Lord Eliwood...
Eliwood: I'm so happy... I can't believe you're back. I feel like this is all a dream. Once I lost you...I knew for sure. I need you. I want you by my side forever.
Ninian: Lord Eliwood... I... ...I must go home...
Eliwood: What do you mean?!
Ninian: I'm...the cause of all of this. It was my weakness that invited this tragedy...
Eliwood: Ninian?
Ninian: Here on Elibe......we were nurtured for ages in the land of our birth. Even after humans invaded and drove us out...... Not a day passed that I did not think of it...... I yearned to see it once again... Our homeland... Those children...the fire dragons... They were like me......

Ninian: We knew that it was forbidden. And yet we answered Nergal's call and opened the gate... We didn't intend to stay long... Just to see home one last time. But Nergal captured us and...it led to this.
Eliwood: We humans, we took control of the continent like it was our right. We never considered who or what we drove away... ...Ninian, Nils, the blame for this was never yours alone. While we can claim ignorance, we still bear some responsibility.
Nils: ...Lord Eliwood, do you truly believe that?
Eliwood: I do. If my father were here, he would say the same thing. Let's work together and think about the future. If the entire continent were made a place where dragons and humans could live together like the hidden city Lord Athos spoke of, Arcadia...

Ninian: Lord Eliwood... I am truly blessed that I have had the chance to meet you. Please... Please... Don't forget me!
Eliwood: Ninian!!
Ninian: ...... Come, Nils. Let us go. We must return to our world...

Nils: Ninian... The air of this world, it's changed so much from what we knew. No matter how much time passes, our strength will never return. If we stay here, we will not survive long.
Ninian: Nils? Why do you...
Nils: But even knowing that your life will be short... Ninian... You truly wish to remain here, don't you? I understand... Stay here. Stay with Lord Eliwood.
Ninian: Nils?
Nils: Lord Eliwood... Ninian... No... My sister... Please cherish her.
Eliwood: I will. I will make her happy. ...I swear it.
Ninian: Nils! You... Are you...
Nils: Mm. I'm going alone. I want to live a long time. I don't have your curiosity.
Ninian: ...Nils......

Nils: ...OK then, I'm going.
Hector: Be well, Nils!
Lyn: I'll miss you...
Eliwood: I'll never forget you.
Ninian: ... ......Nils...

Nils: Don't cry, Ninian... Even if we're apart, if we never see each other again, our bond will never, ever be cut... More importantly, Sister... Live as long...and be as happy as you can, for as long as you can.

(Nils leaves through the Dragon's Gate; it closes behind him)

Ninian: Nils!!
Eliwood: Thank you, Nils.

Hector: Oh, daybreak!
Lyn: Beautiful, isn't it. The start of another day.
Eliwood: Ninian... You'll come with me, won't you?
Ninian: Yes!

Talk conversations

Pent and Louise

Requires that Pent and Louise talked in Chapters 27 and 30.

Pent: Stay beside me, Louise. We mustn't get separated.
Louise: Yes, Lord Pent... That is a dragon, isn't it?
Pent: Yes. Years ago, Lord Athos and the other legends fought...that.
Louise: Lord Pent...
Pent: I understand why you're trembling. It's been a thousand years, but I think I understand why humans and dragons fought. Compared to humans, dragons are so incredibly powerful. Their mere existence must have seemed like a threat... Too much of a threat for humans to bear.
Louise:......
Pent: A thousand years... Other than Lord Athos, no one has experience in this type of combat. None of us can begin to imagine what this fight will be like.
Louise: You're right.
Pent: However, there is one certainty. Louise, I will protect you.
Louise: Lord Pent, I... I will protect you as well. Along with the child inside me...our child.
Pent: Louise, that's...

Epilogue

(One year later)

If Mark is present

Eliwood: So here you are, Mark! Will you attend my ascension ceremony? Hector and everyone else is coming... What? These clothes? I look silly, don't I. Formal dress is so stiff, I can't stand it... Ah... Everything's finally resolved. I'll succeed my father as Marquess Pherae. I don't know if I'm equal to the task, but I'm going to do my best for all the people who live here. Mark, you... Do you really have to go? No, I understand. I'm sure that you have things you must do. Thank you for supporting me in everything.

Eliwood: Mark will be at the ceremony of ascension but must leave shortly thereafter.
Lyn: Oh, no... Really? That's too bad.
Eliwood: Oh, Mark, I want you to know something. When things are a little more settled, Lyndis and I plan to be married. And...this may be a bit premature but, Mark, we'd like you to name our first child. Lyndis and I talked it over. You've done so much for us and we truly want this.

Regardless of who Eliwood unlocked an A support with, if anyone

Eliwood: I'll see you again. It's a promise...my friend.

If Mark is not present

Hector: Eliwood!
Eliwood: Hector! You came.
Hector: Of course. It's my friend's gala occasion. I wouldn't miss it for the world. Are you ready for this?
Eliwood: Yes... I think I am. I'll succeed my father as Marquess Pherae. I don't know if I'm equal to the task, but I'm going to do my best for all the people who live here.
Hector: You'll be just fine. You'll be a marquess to rival your father. I guarantee it.

Regardless of who Eliwood unlocked an A support with, if anyone

Marcus: I beg your pardon. Lord Eliwood, it's time.
Eliwood: Oh, thank you, Marcus.
(Marcus leaves)
Hector: Get going, Eliwood. Lady Eleanora and the people of Pherae are waiting to see you. As, no doubt, is your father. You are the guardian of Pherae's future now, Marquess.
ELiwood: Mm!

Regardless of Mark's status

(At Castle Ostia)

Hector: Thanks for coming, Eliwood!
Eliwood: Hector! Long time, no see!
Hector: First time since my brother's funeral--fifteen years now. And look at us. We've both grown older, haven't we?
Eliwood: Uh-huh. Time certainly does speed right by. My father's disappearance...his death...the fight with Nergal...those fire dragons... The memories are so vivid, it might have happened yesterday.
Hector: Nergal... What a blackheart he was. I've had enough of battles like that. Hm? Is that your son over there?
Eliwood: I've been wanting to introduce you, but there's been no chance. Roy! Come here!
(Roy enters)
Roy: Did you need something, Father?
Eliwood: Say hello to Marquess Ostia!
Roy: Ye-Yes, sir! A pleasure to meet you, Lord Hector. My name is Roy.
Hector: Roy, is it? Nice to meet you, lad. Well, I guess that means I should introduce my daughter then! Lilina!
(Lilina enters)
Lilina: ......
Hector: What? Are you being shy? You don't have to be nervous. This is your father's old friend and his son.
Lilina: ......
Eiwood: Hello, Lilina. This is Roy. He's the same age as you.
Lilina: Nice to meet you.
Roy: Lilina? Let's be friends. We can play over there.
Lilina: ......
Hector: It's OK. Go on.
Lilina: Ah!
(Roy and Lilina leave)
Eliwood: What a cute child. Good thing she took after her mother.
Hector: What? She looks just like me, doesn't she?
Eliwood: You're a sarcastic one, Marquess Ostia!
Hector: Come on, now you're the one putting on airs, Marquess Pherae!
Eliwood: Ha ha ha ha! The only thing older about you is your appearance. Don't tell me you still behave like that even now that you're the marquess!
Hector: I'm always on top of my duties as marquess. But when I'm around you, I want to relax, so, please...
Eliwood: Hector... By the way, I heard that the king of Bern died. It was fairly sudden, too.
Hector: I can't be certain, but according to one of our spies, he was killed in an assassination attempt on Prince Zephiel.
Eliwood: The prince? I trust he was unharmed.
Hector: It's a strange tale... At first, I'd heard that the prince was killed. Then new information came three days later saying that it was the king who had died.
Eliwood: Do you remember Archsage Athos's prediction? Is something happening in Bern?
Hector: I don't know.

Lilina: Father! Can I show Roy my pony?

Hector: Yes, go ahead. Be careful!

Lilina: OK!

Hector: For the sake of our children's futures, I'll stop anything that may happen. I'll sacrifice my life to make it so.
Eliwood: "Once again, Lycia brings hope." ...If that turns out to be wrong? No. It must happen...

(At Bern Keep)

Enigmatic Man: For what reason have you awakened a demon dragon?
Zephiel: Who are you?
Enigmatic Man: ...Dragon.
