Introduction

Roy vowed to protect Lilina. With Bern coming full force however, Roy's army is no equal. Therefore, he decides to try and obtain a legendary weapon. He thinks it best to obtain it before Bern manages to get their hands on it.

Lilina shows them to a cave on the outskirts of Ostia, where a legendary weapon is hidden. The cave, located at the foot of a volcano, will be no small obstacle for Roy...

Opening

(In the throne room)

Bandit: B-Boss! An army's in the cave!
Henning: What?! How many of them are there?
Bandit: Dunno, Boss. Not too many, I hope...
Henning: It's strange, though... The lords of Lycia have bigger fish to fry than bandits like us.
Bandit: Well? What do we do?
Henning: I don't expect they know much about this cave. Just lure them onto the lava geysers and get rid of 'em.


(At Roy's position)

Lilina: Roy, this way! The legendary weapon is on the other side of this flaming crevice.
Roy: Lilina, are you all right? Have you already come to terms with everything?
Lilina: Well... maybe not just yet. But I can't afford to be in sorrow. Ostia needs me to protect it, just as it needed my father before me.
Roy: I'm just glad you're all right, Lilina.
Lilina: Only because you're with me, Roy...
Roy: What? Did you just say something?
Lilina: No, nothing. Let me tell you what I know about the weapon. The sword here was used by Roland himself, one of the Eight Legends.
Roy: Roland... The first marquess of Ostia?
Lilina: Exactly. He's my ancestor. This sword is called Durandal, the Blazing Blade.
Roy: Durandal... The name has a strange echo to it. So Roland used Durandal to fight the dragons during the Scouring?
Lilina: That's how the legend goes. They also say that after the war ended, Roland returned to his home of Ostia. He raised Durandal high above his head, and the earth scorched by the flames of war suddenly blossomed with life again.
Roy: Wow... That sword has quite the story to it.
Lilina: It's a weapon that can defeat dragons, so it must have some exceptional powers.
Roy: ...Oh, yes. I heard that a group of bandits has made its base here. Will the sword be all right? Might the bandits have taken Durandal?
Lilina: Oh, no, don't worry yourself about that. Only descendants of Roland know how to remove Durandal from its sheath.
Roy: That's reassuring. All that's left then is to rid this cave of the bandits and take Durandal.

In battle

Battle quotes

Henning enters combat

Henning: Sigh. How did you find yourselves in here? I'm afraid I can't let you go.

Henning dies

Henning: Ah, blast... I knew this would happen...

Ending

If Lilina is alive

Lilina: Roy! Here it is!
Roy: So this is Durandal... It's enormous. I don't think many of us will be able to swing it.
Lilina: History has it that Roland was a small man. Any fighter skilled enough should be able to wield the sword.
Roy: Then if I become better with the sword, I could use it as well?
Lilina: Well... I don't know about that.
Roy: Oh, come now. Have SOME confidence in me, at least!
Lilina: Hee hee!

(Durandal obtained)

If Lilina was killed during the chapter

Merlinus: Lord Roy, we have it! It was under the altar. It was no simple task to get it out, but it's in our possession now.
Roy: This is Durandal... But was it worth Lilina's life?

(Durandal obtained)

Regardless of Lilina's survival

Merlinus: Lord Roy! Bern's wyvern riders are in front of Castle Ostia!
Roy: What?! They're here already?!

(Roy leaves the castle and heads to the center of Ostia, only to find Narcian and his wyvern riders)

Narcian: Hm hm hm... You must be Roy. I thank you for ridding me of that cretin Legance. Now, leave Ostia to me and we can all go home with our limbs attached.
Roy: Never! I'll never hand Ostia over to the likes of you...!
Narcian: Oho? You think you can best us with that sad little group of yours? I will cut you open, just as I did with Hector!
Roy: ......
???: That's enough!

(The Etrurian army rushes into Ostia as allied units)

Soldier: General Narcian! A legion has arrived from Etruria!
Narcian: I can see that, you fool! But why...
Perceval: I am Perceval, Knight General of Etruria. Mage General Cecilia informed that the Lycian Army had requested Etruria's aid.
Narcian: What...?!
Cecilia: We are prepared for battle. Can those wyvern riders of yours stand against our might?
Narcian: You...!
Cecilia: I am Cecilia, Mage General of Etruria! Ostia is now under our protection.
Narcian: Argh...! You... you...!!!

(A Bern soldier appears next to Narcian)

Soldier: General Narcian, please control your temper! General Perceval is one of the most skilled knights in Etruria! Combined with General Cecilia, we haven't a chance!
Narcian: I know that! We're leaving! Cecilia, was it? We'll see who has the last laugh!

(Narcian and the Bern army leave the map)

(Cecilia and Perceval approach Roy)

Perceval: Are you General Roy of the Lycian Army?
Roy: Y-yes, I am! I lead the Lycian Army in Lord Hector's place.
Perceval: It's a pleasure. You have my sympathy for the current turmoil in Lycia. Our king also sends his condolences for Lord Hector.
Roy: Thank you. If you hadn't helped us... Ostia would be under Bern's control now.
Perceval: You have no reason to thank me. I simply followed my king's orders. You should thank Cecilia. She defied the king until he agreed to help you.
Roy: She... opposed the king?
Perceval: Yes, she put her neck on the line. Well, I must be off. Etruria calls. As one of the three Generals of Etruria, it requires my presence. Cecilia, will you take care of the loose ends?
Cecilia: Yes. Thank you, Perceval. Leave the rest to me.

(Perceval leaves Ostia)

Roy: Wow... General Perceval... Just his presence was intimidating.
Cecilia: Nervous, were you?
Roy: General Cecilia! It is good to see you again.
Cecilia: How are you, Roy? You look a little tired.
Roy: I'm fine, thanks to you. It could have been a calamity.
Cecilia: I'm glad we made it in time.
Roy: I'm sorry I put you through so much trouble.
Cecilia: Don't be. It will benefit Etruria for Ostia to go under our protection.
Roy: Benefit Etruria? How?
Cecilia: Bern's been increasingly aggressive, as you know. If Bern gains any further strength, the balance of power will be shattered. Still, we haven't been attacked, so we couldn't simply declare war.
Roy: So when we requested aid, it was justification to declare war on Bern?
Cecilia: Precisely. We only did what is best for our land. You needn't feel that you are in our debt.
Roy: If you insist. Regardless, please come in and meet the rest of the army.

(Roy walks back into the castle in the north)

Cecilia: ...He's grown so much in the short time since I met him last. He's maturing into a man.

(Cecilia follows Roy into the castle)
