Lost Bloodlines 3/Script

Pre-Battle

Old Hubba: Oho! You're back again! What impeccable timing.
Chrom: I don't like the sound of that…
Old Hubba: No, it's good news! All the Einherjar you defeated have gathered in one place. After you defeat them this time, I can finally seal them back into their cards!
Chrom: Wait...that actually IS good news.
Old Hubba: It is, isn't it! ...There's just one tiny little catch... I, uh... Well, I sort of...forgot to get you allies. So both armies will be after you. Welp, good luck then!
Chrom: *Sigh* I knew there had to be something...

Battle

Ced: King Marth, enemy reinforcements have arrived in the northeast and southeast.
King Marth: How did we not see them approach?
Ced: They didn't approach, sire. Not exactly. It seems they were summoned from another world…
King Marth: Damn... Will this land never know peace?
Ced: We are ready for them. Our forces in the southeast castle and on the eastern plain will crush them.
King Marth: Good. Commence the attack. We cannot stand idly be whilst they summon even more of their kind. (camera pans to the southeast)
Finn: Lord Leif! Enemy soldiers to the north!
Leif: The otherworldy force we were warned about, no doubt. I hear they are strong. Still, they are no match for the famed heroes we count among our allies. My father, Lords Seliph and Sigurd…even King Marth himself.
Finn: Don't be too humble to name yourself, my lord. But aye, our victory is assured. (camera pans to the center-south)
Chrom: Looks like we'll have our hands full here.
Robin: I liked them better when they were on our side…
Chrom: Victory here will win peace for this Outrealm, at least. It will be difficult, but we must prevail.
Robin: Unfortunately, the enemy armies are thinking the same thing. ...Both of them.
Chrom: I like it no better than you, but we've no other choice. Let's finish this!

(turn 1 enemy phase)

Leif: Lord Sigurd, King Marth's forces are taking the offensive.
Sigurd: He means to trap the enemy between us.
Leif: There is no time to lose!
Sigurd: Aye, but this is no typical foe we face. We must cling fast to caution… (camera pans to the north)
Caeda: Lady Deirdre! The force that appeared up ahead is hostile. I'm certain of it!
Deirdre: Then they have come at last. Will the bloodshed never end?
Caeda: You mustn't waver now, my lady. Let us be the strength behind your conviction. Peace will come, in its time. Today, we must defeat the enemy before us.
Deirdre: You are right. Thank you, Lady Caeda. I will trust in your strength. (camera pans to the east)
Seliph: It was the enemy's choice to invade, and it is our duty to defend the land. These should be simple facts, but...

(upon visiting the northern village)

Maiden: Gods! Where did all these soldiers come from? Things used to be so peaceful! Are you with them? Are ya?! WELL, HERE! FINE THEN! Take this, and then take yer scuffle somewhere else!

(upon visiting the center village)

Villager: So, uh, just between friends—do ye think ye'll win? 'Cause see, I bet me life's savings in gold on ya, so, er... Well, how about I tip the scales a bit? Take this and CRUSH them brutes!

Post-Battle

Chrom: It's finally over, thank the gods. There were so damn many of them…
Frederick: It was no easy fight, milord. But then, what battle is?
Chrom: I hope we brought a measure of peace. The grasses here have seen enough red.
Frederick: I could not agree more.
Robin: Chrom, look what I found.
Chrom: Another card? Let's see... "Seliph, Scion of Light." Hmm... Seliph figured prominently in the Jugdrali sagas. Didn't he end the strife that plagued the continent for decades? It seems we've found a real treasure.

Seliph Recruitment Conversation

Seliph: I yield to your strength, <sir/my lady>. Never have I seen one person lead so great a force. My name is Seliph. Do you know who I am?

(Question: Have you heard of Seliph?)

(should the player answer Yes)
Seliph: It honors me that my name has carried to lands as far as yours. What do they say of me? Do I become a great king?

(should the player answer No)
Seliph: I was born on the continent of Jugdral—son of Duke Sigurd of Chalphy. I am descended from Baldur the Crusader and Saint Heim. I fight to avenge my late father, who fell in the Battle of Belhalla.

(after answering the previous question)
Seliph: On your hand...that is the Brand, yes? The mark is proof that you descend from dragons, our gods of yore. I, too, carry the Brand. The blood in my veins entitled me to wield the divine blade that led me to victory. But it also cursed me to a lifetime of tragedy... Namely, my father's death and a terrible war with my half-brother. So much blood spilt over blood... Tell me...Robin, was it? If you could cast away the Brand—free yourself from it—would you?

(Question: Would you cast away the Brand?)

(should the player answer Yes)
Seliph: You choose to live freely. I envy that. Oftentimes I wonder if I missed that chance somewhere along the way... But tell me more about yourself, Robin. If the Brand no longer bound you, what sort of life would you choose? What places would you visit?

(should the player answer No)
Seliph: Yes, I can certainly understand that. We're the same, then. I could never simply give up the Brand. Even while I curse it, I know that it has preserved me. I owe it much. And it is my mother and father's blood—a precious part of me. Thank you, Robin. I'm glad me could speak. I know your Brand will lead you to your destiny, as mine did with me. But from my experience, grand destinies bring with them grand conflicts. My blade is yours, if you would have it. I will help you win the struggles to come.

(should the player opt to recruit Seliph)

Seliph: As the gods will it.
