Beginning log

Bern surrendered with King Zephiel's death. The great war that shook the lands of Elibe was over. However, Roy's battle was not. Roy continued to search for the Dark Priestess, suspecting that she was the Dark Dragon. Following the beam of light emitted by the Divine Weapons, Roy headed for the Dragon Sanctuary. However, waiting for Roy in front of the temple was General Brunnya, the one remaining Dragon Lord of Bern. She had rounded up Bern's remaining troops and was waiting to attack Roy. Their pride was at stake. A battle with the now dead Kingdom of Bern... Roy had a heavy heart at having to battle these "ghosts".

This is one of the chapters in The Binding Blade with the requisite conditions to execute a glitch to steal one of the enemy manakete's Firestones. Said requisite conditions are: an enemy that has and is able to use a Berserk Staff, and an enemy with a Firestone in their inventory. To execute this glitch have one of the playable thieves become inflicted with the Berserk status effect while near a manakete. When the berserked thief is able to take their action, they will most likely move to the nearest manakete and steal their Firestone, due to the dragonstones in The Binding Blade having a high steal priority in the theif AI. To raise chances of success, make sure the manakete is the only unit in the thief's range. The unlimited use Firestone can be used by Fae to preserve durability on her more powerful Divinestone.
