Opening

Idunn: ......
Roy: You're the Dark Priestess... The demon dragon.
Idunn: ...Why do you block my path?
Roy: What...?
Idunn: I have been instructed to lead this world. I will bring peace. Why do you bar my path?
Roy: ...You're wrong. Peace at the cost of humanity is hardly any kind of peace at all. The man who ordered you is gone. You can stop! You have no reason to fight!
Idunn: ......
Roy: None of us have reason to fight.
Idunn: ...I feel that eons ago... I heard those same words. Soft words, like a warm breeze...
Idunn: ......
Idunn: But that was long ago... I have slumbered for far too long. In the darkness, I dreamed... An empty dream. Black. Colorless... But I am awoken now. His Majesty willed it so.
Roy: His Majesty... Zephiel!
Idunn: I am awoken. I have left the darkness of my dreams. My path is now lit. I know what I must do.
Roy: ......

(Idunn removes her hood)

Idunn: I will lead this world... No matter how much time must pass, that is my duty...
Roy: You insist on fighting us?
Idunn: As long as you stand in my way.
Roy: Your will... seems unbreakable...
Idunn: My will is His Majesty's. I awoke for the purpose of fulfilling his desires.

(A flash of light, Idunn has transformed into the Demon Dragon)

In battle

Battle quotes

Idunn is defeated

Idunn: I... I... Gah... I... I am alone... in the dark... I am alone... in... darkness...

Ending

If Fae was killed or Idunn was not defeated with the Binding Blade

(Inside the sanctuary)

(Idunn disappears, the screen shakes)

Roy: Oh no... The sanctuary is collapsing! Everyone! Hurry outside!

(Everyone hurries outside)


(Everyone is gathered outside)

Merlinus: Lord Roy! You are unharmed!
Roy: Yes... but the sanctuary is gone.
Merlinus: It was over a thousand years old. A great deal of energy was released in the battle we fought. The foundations probably couldn't withstand the pressure.
Roy: Yes...
Merlinus: Well, Lord Roy, our struggle is over.
Roy: No. It hasn't even started yet. We must help rebuild the land from the damage caused by the war. There is much to be done. The real work is only just beginning!

If Fae is alive and Idunn was defeated with the Binding Blade

(Inside the sanctuary)

(A flash of light, Idunn appears as a green unit and screen shakes)

Fae: Ah!
Roy: Oh no... The sanctuary is collapsing! Everyone! Hurry outside!
Fae: Roy...
Roy: I'll be fine. Now go!!

(Everyone hurries outside, except for Roy, who runs toward Idunn)


(Everyone is gathered outside, Roy exits the sanctuary)

Merlinus: Lord Roy! You are unharmed!
Roy: Yes... but the sanctuary is gone.
Merlinus: It was over a thousand years old. A great deal of energy was released in the battle we fought. The foundations probably couldn't withstand the pressure.
Roy: Yes...
Merlinus: Today marks the beginning of a new era. ...Who is that you are carrying on your back?

(Idunn is briefly shown with her hood up)

Roy: Oh, yes. Merlinus, I need to ask a favor of you...

Epilogue

And thus, the war known as the Disturbance of Bern was resolved. Following Bern's surrender, its government was dismantled with the indirect support of the Kingdom of Etruria. With Roy's help, Guinivere inherited the throne and the New Kingdom of Bern was formally established. And on the day of her ascension...

If Roy and Lilina have an A support

(Inside Castle Bern)

Lilina: Today is Princess Guinivere's crowning ceremony.
Roy: I haven't seen her in her royal garments yet, but I'm sure she is beautiful beyond description. Even at our first meeting, I had no words to describe her sheer beauty.
Lilina: Truly.
Roy: But she has many struggles still to come.
Lilina: What do you mean?
Roy: After she is crowned queen of Bern, even with Etruria's support, I'm certain there will be great unrest and plots to overthrow her.
Lilina: Do you think so?
Roy: Some may claim that she only joined Etruria to seize the throne. It's an unfortunate reality, but to the ignorant, that is how it will appear.
Lilina: ...But I'm sure she will be fine. Under her rule, Bern will prosper like never before... She's too brilliant and strong to succumb to petty unrest...
Roy: Yes... I agree.
Lilina: ...What about you? What will you do now?
Roy: Me? I will return to Pherae. I'm concerned about my father's illness, and there is much reconstruction to be done.
Lilina: Um... I... What if we...
Roy: What?
Lilina: Uh... Nevermind. But you're returning to Pherae... That's good.
Roy: What about you? Will you go back to Ostia?
Lilina: ...Yes. I must take my father's place.
Roy: I'm glad you're staying in Ostia.
Lilina: ...Why do you say that?
Roy: Because if you're in Ostia, then we can see one another any time.
Lilina: What...?
Roy: Lilina... I don't know when, but some day... I'll come for you.
Lilina: ...I ...I have to prepare, too... But... Roy... I've always...
Roy: Oh! The ceremony's starting. Come, Lilina! Let's see Princess... No, Queen Guinivere! This is the start of her reign as queen!

(Roy leaves)

Lilina: What I'm trying to say is... I've always... What, what?! R-Roy, wait for me!

Guinivere's crowning

(Inside Castle Bern's throne room, Guinivere sits on the throne)

Roy: Princess Guinivere, you have my congratulations on your ascension.
Guinivere: I thank you... But my battle is just beginning.
Roy: I'm sorry... I wish we didn't have to rely on Etruria.
Guinivere: Not at all. I am grateful for their support. There will be those, however, who think I only joined Etruria to seize the throne.
Roy: Princess...
Guinivere: But the most important task at hand is Bern's reconstruction. I must regain the people's trust through my efforts. No matter how long it takes...
Roy: If there is anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask.
Guinivere: Thank you again. Perhaps I will someday. Roy, are you...
Roy: Yes?
Guinivere: What will you do? Will you stay in the Etrurian Army?
Roy: No, I must return to Pherae. I am concerned about my father's illness, and we must begin the reconstruction effort.
Guinivere: You are returning home? I am sure that's for the best. Still... Someone of your ability could easily take a place in the Etrurian court.
Roy: M-me?! I don't think I deserve such a position!
Guinivere: Pherae is blessed to have such a gifted heir as you.

(A soldier enters)

Soldier: Your Highness...
Guinivere: Please call me Guinivere. What is the matter?
Soldier: Yes, Lady Guinivere. The ceremony is about to begin.
Guinivere: Thank you. I will be there shortly.

(The soldier leaves, Guinivere walks forward)

Guinivere: Roy, will you come with me?
Roy: Me?
Guinivere: You have helped me so much ever since I left Bern with the Fire Emblem in hand. I want you to see the path Bern will take under my leadership.
Roy: Of course. If you will have me, then it is my pleasure to accompany you.
Guinivere: Then come... This way.
Roy: Let us see a new Bern... And the beginning of a new era.

(Guinivere leaves, the scene fades to black)

If Fae is alive and Idunn was defeated with the Binding Blade

Later, in Arcadia...

(Inside Arcadia's temple)

Elder: Ah, Lord Roy. It has been far too long.
Roy: Yes, it is good to see you.
Elder: Fae will be glad to see you as well.
Roy: I saw her earlier. She is even more energetic than I remember.
Elder: We have allowed her outside more since her return. Perhaps that is why.
Roy: How is Idunn doing?
Elder: We succeeded in restoring her soul, and yet...
Roy: ...She's not back to normal?
Elder: Fae sometimes takes her outside, but she will do nothing without first being told to.
Roy: I see...
Elder: Lord Roy... We had known for long that she had been captured. I feared the consequences of leaving the village, however, so I forbade any effort to rescue her. Now, though, I wonder whether my judgment was correct...
Roy: ......
Elder: Perhaps the humans are changing the way I think. I will do my best to restore Idunn's heart and soul.
Roy: ...You have my gratitude.
Elder: An expression of emotion would be a promising first step... A laugh, for example...


(Fae runs up to a tree outside Arcadia, Idunn slowly trails behind her)

Fae: And that is called a tree!
Idunn: Tree...
Fae: Right! And this tree has tasty fruit!
Idunn: Fruit?
Fae: Yeah. Can you see it? It's up at the top. And if you shake the tree like this...

(The screen shakes briefly)

Fae: Oww! It fell on my head...
Idunn: Heh...
Fae: Idunn...? Did you just laugh?
Idunn: Laugh...? This is a laugh?
Fae: Where's Roy? I have to tell Roy that you laughed!

(Fae runs circles around Idunn, then runs into Arcadia's temple)

(Idunn walks toward Arcadia, the wind picks up)

Idunn: A warm... breeze...
