Level 40 quote

Does the power to summon make one strong? Strong enough to slay even the most fearsome dragons? That's why I train. I want to be just as strong as the heroes I admire. But the joy of getting stronger leads to wanting more and more, and along the way I've come to crave battle. Grandfather warned me about power without principle... As I get stronger, I wonder if I may stray from the path. But possessing a heart that can resist the draw toward darkness...that's the mark of a true hero. Naturally, Prince Marth has such a heart, but...I sense the same in you. So, I'm happy at your side.

And I know Katarina is looking beautiful as well... Er, wait—that's not what I wanted to talk about! I was once told that I bore a strange destiny... Perhaps you can relate?
