Reunion at Dawn

Opening Narration

“	It is Imperial Year 1185. Nearly five years have passed since the fall of the monastery at Garreg Mach, and war continues to plague the lands of Fódlan. Fhirdiad has been captured. The Holy Kingdom of Faerghus is in shambles. The Leicester Alliance is on the verge of collapse, fractured by two opposing factions -those who support the Adrestian Empire and its ruler, and those who seek her demise. Meanwhile, under Emperor Edelgard's rule of law, the Adrestian Empire continues to expand its reach. The path to a new Fódlan, unified by Imperial strength, may yet be in sight.	”	— Chapter 13 opening narration

Event - Revival

???

???: You.... how long do you intend to sleep? Your body is awake. Your eyes must open now, and you must find the strength to stand upon those legs of yours. Like so much rain, a pool of blood has fallen to the ground... As spears and arrows pierce the earth, it weeps. And even now, it weeps. In order to survive, they kill. And so, the people of this world are lost in an abyss of suffering. They weep as well. The only one who truly knows the nature of such things is I... or rather, you.

Choice 1	Choice 2
I'm still sleepy.	Who?
???: You are a complete and utter fool! Have you not changed one bit?!	???: Excuse me?! Are you saying you have forgotten who I am? How dare you!

???: Get on your feet. Right now! I'll coddle you no more! You're just like a child, always needing me to hold your hand...

Farming Village Nighttime

Villager: Hey! A-are you awake?
(Byleth rises up)

Choice 1	Choice 2
Where am I?	Who are you?
Villager: We're in a village at the base of the monastery. What are you doing in a place like this?	Villager: I’m just a villager here. What are you doing in a place like this?

Villager: I honestly didn't expect to find someone floating away down the river... Garreg Mach is upstream of here, but that place was abandoned.

What do you mean?

Villager: Huh? You don't know? The Church of Seiros isn't up there anymore. Though there have been folks still living there in the five years since... Well, you know. Anyway, I've heard some thieves have been spotted around those parts these days.

Choice 1	Choice 2
Five years?	What year is it?

Villager: Um, are you feeling all right? You didn't hit your head or anything, did you? It's the Ethereal Moon of the year 1185. It's been nearly five years since the monastery fell. Tomorrow was supposed to be the millennium festival, but who's got time to think about things like that?

The millennium festival...

Villager: Uh, yeah, that's what I said. But with the war and the archbishop still missing and all... I doubt there's a soul to be found who has enough blessings worth counting.
(Byleth prepares to leave into the monastery)
Villager: Hey! Slow down, will ya? Where do you think you're going?

The monastery......

Villager: Are you crazy?! I told ya! The thieves are running amok up there, and there's plenty of other dangers too. Come on, I promise I won't say you're a coward. Just forget about going anywhere near the monastery.
(Byleth shakes head in dissent)
Villager: You just remember I tried to stop you, got it? It's not on my conscience if you wind up dead!

Choice 1	Choice 2
My students are waiting for me.	No need to worry about me.
Villager: Students? You really are crazy, aren't you? There aren't any kids anywhere near that place anymore!

(Byleth leaves)
Villager: Unbelievable.

Event - Like the Silver Snow

Goddess Tower Nighttime

(Edelgard is seen standing alone)
Edelgard: Why am I even here? I know they won't come, but here I am anyway... How has it already been five years? Time stops for no one, I suppose.
(Byleth arrives right behind Edelgard, startling her)
Edelgard: Huh?! It's...it's you! What are you doing here?

Choice 1	Choice 2	Choice 3
I came here for you.	I'm not sure myself.	A whim.
Edelgard: For me?

Edelgard: Highly doubtful. So you were alive... What have you been doing all this time?

Choice 1	Choice 2
I was sleeping.	I was dead.

Edelgard: Joking at a time like this... Well, if you don't wish to tell me, I won't try to persuade you. All that matters is this... Will you return to the Empire with me? Before you answer, know that friends from our Black Eagle days have chosen to join me in the fight ahead.

Choice 1	Choice 2
I...	I can't.
Edelgard: Hesitation. It betrays your true answer.	Edelgard: As expected. I knew your answer before I had even asked the question.

Edelgard: That means... we're enemies now, you and I. My teacher, the time for discussion has come to an end!

Movie - Reunion: Silver Snow

Scene fades to black. Edelgard and Byleth then take out their swords and begin to duel in the Goddess Tower.
Edelgard and Byleth clash blades as the moonlight bathes both, struggling to directly hit the other.

Edelgard: Even though our swords may cross as they do now...

Both keep exchanging slashes stop.
Suddenly, each one strike a decisive slash, with each blade almost reaching the opponent's throat.

Edelgard: ...There's no denying that our chosen paths never will.

Edelgard hides her sword and prepares to leave as Byleth watches.

Edelgard: Goodbye, my teacher. When next we meet, one of us will breathe their last.

Scene fades to black. Edelgard leaves.

Event - Aftermath of War

Cathedral Dawn

(Seteth finds Byleth standing alone in the cathedral)
Seteth: Who is it?! Is that... It's you!

Choice 1	Choice 2
It's been a long time.	What are you doing here?
Seteth: Yes, it has been... But this is no time for casual chatter!	Seteth: I was going to ask you the very same thing.

Seteth: After you disappeared five years ago, do you have any idea how dire the church's situation became? Where were you and what were you doing all of those years?

I was sleeping...

(Scene fades to black. Byleth explains to Seteth offscreen their situation.)

Seteth: You slept for five years... In that case, I suppose there is nothing more to say. You should know that Rhea also disappeared after the battle at Garreg Mach five years ago. Since then, the knights have been fully devoted to searching for her. They have yet to find a trace.

Choice 1	Choice 2
Was she captured by the Imperial Army?	Was she murdered by the Imperial Army?

Seteth: It is possible. However, the Empire has not made any such statement as of yet. Even if that were the truth, there is no way for us to confirm. We have searched all over, but we have reached an impasse. Unless we do something, our efforts to find Rhea and rebuild the Church will be stalled indefinitely. Our opportunity to strike back is close at hand... Sadly, we are short on military strength. However, now we have you. Do you recall what Rhea told you five years ago? She asked for you to take her place should anything ever happen to her. She entrusted you with leading the people of Fódlan.

Choice 1	Choice 2
I remember.	I can't do that.
Seteth: Then I beg of you... Please, heed her words.	Seteth: I will not accept that. Please... you must lend me your strength.

Seteth: It is up to you to lead us and to defeat the Empire. No... to defeat Edelgard.

Choice 1	Choice 2	Choice 3
Why me?	You should lead them.	I don't want to fight Edelgard.
Seteth: There is a very good reason...but it is not yet time to divulge it. Just know that without you, we have no hope.	Seteth: It is not for me to do. You are the only one who can rise to this task. Someday, you will know why that is. Until then, I ask that you trust me.	Seteth: What are you saying? She is tormenting all of Fódlan! And you are the only one who can save us! How can you not see that?!

(A church soldier suddenly arrives.)
Church Soldier: Sir! Bandits have entered the area! They stole some hidden weapons and ran off! They're heading for the town, so that might be where they're hiding out...
Seteth: Vile thieves! Even with the knights gone, I cannot believe they would dare trespass here! This is unforgivable! Come, Professor. Let us give chase!

Narration - Reunion at Dawn

“	In the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, Imperialist loyalist Cornelia has subdued all regions of the former royal house of Blaiddyd to prevent further revolt. Prince Dimitri has been sentenced. Now, the backbone of the former Kingdom—Houses Gautier and Fraldarius—struggle to continue the resistance. Cornelia—operating out of the royal palace—has accepted the support of the Empire to build an army and plots to wipe out all remaining Kingdom forces. In the Leicester Alliance, House Riegan leads an anti-Imperial faction, while House Gloucester directs the Empire’s supporters. Despite the undeniable threat of fracture, the Alliance’s adept new leader, Claude, deftly maintains the outward appearance of a unified front. In Enbarr, the Imperial Capital of the Adrestian Empire, Emperor Edelgard fights to strengthen her regime. She has extended her reach to the Kingdom by inciting a coup and continues to draw its former lords under her influence in pursuit of controlling all of western Fódlan. In the meantime, the Knights of Seiros have been dispatched to find Archbishop Rhea, who remains missing despite their searching. Left unattended, the monastery at Garreg Mach has fallen to ruin... and become a haven for thieves.	”	— Introduction to Reunion at Dawn

Battle: Reunion at Dawn

Garreg Mach Monastery Outskirts

Before Battle

Seteth: Looters deserve no forgiveness! After them!

Pallardó: What the... Intruders! Protect the goods!

Player Phase 1

Seteth: Stop the thieves! Retrieve our stolen goods!

Former Black Eagles Arrive - Part 1

Dorothea: We had no place to go so we came back to Garreg Mach. But then— Huh? Professor?
Caspar: Looks like there's a fight! I'm ready to join the battle!

Petra: It is confirmed that Professor is alive. I will be...cooperating.

Seteth: What are you doing here?! Never mind, we'll have to talk later! Help us with these thieves!

Former Black Eagles Arrive - Part 2

Bernadetta: People? A battle?! Oh, there wasn't supposed to be anyone here! Wait, is that... Professor?!
Linhardt: Professor... You're alive after all. Well then, I am quite pleased with my choice to come here.
Ferdinand: Professor?! Never mind... We have to focus on winning this fight!

Seteth: Lend us a hand! Let's beat them back!

Playable Units begin Reaching Pallardó

Seteth: If we split our troops in two, we can attack from the north and the south to trap their leader.

If Byleth Talks with the Returning Students

Byleth may earn support points with the students after talking with them.

Dorothea: Do you remember our promise from five years ago, Professor? Today's the day.
Caspar: I'm so glad I get to see you again, Professor!
Petra: I went back to Brigid once...but I had to be returning to Fódlan.
Bernadetta: Took all my will to come out here today. But seeing you again, Professor? That's worth a little torture!
Linhardt: So what have you been doing these last five years? Sleeping?! Why, I must say I'm a bit envious.
Ferdinand: Ah, Professor. You have not changed a bit. I am so glad to fight alongside you again.

If Pallardó's Reinforcements Escape

Seteth: Do not allow these cursed bandits to escape with any more of our valuables!

Main Boss - Pallardó

Decoy's Battle Quote:

“	No! I'm not the one you want! Gah! I guess I've got no choice.	”	— Decoy Pallardó's Battle Quote

Decoy's Falls:

(Pallardó and 2 thieves spawn from the top or botton of the decoy's room.)
Pallardó: It isn't looking good for us. Should we retreat?

Seteth: He has some treasure from the monastery too! Do not let him escape!

Vs Anyone:

“	Ah, you should yield me a tidy profit!	”	— Pallardó Vs Anyone

Death Quote:

“	I thought it would be easy money... Maybe it wasn't...meant to be...	”	— Pallardó's Death Quote

If Pallardo Escapes

Pallardó: I no longer have any reason to be here. Good-bye and be well!
Seteth: Blast—he got away! We will surely regret failing to recover that treasure...

If Pallardo Falls

Seteth: That man used to be a merchant here at the monastery. He must have fallen on hard times to take up with those thieves...

Event - The Fallen Monastery

Entrance Hall Morning

Seteth: It seems we were able to expel the bandits who were hiding in Garreg Mach.
(Camera focuses on the returning Black Eagles.)
Seteth: How fortuitous that you students should gather at the monastery like this...
Dorothea: We made a promise with the professor. That was five years ago to the very day.
Petra: We all gave our promise to be meeting here when the millennium festival arrived.
Linhardt: Though the one who came up with that plan is not here... Edelgard. Still, how incredible that those present gathered despite the terrible state of things...
Caspar: Pfft, the most incredible part of it is that you didn't oversleep and miss the reunion!
Seteth: So, that is the reason... Professor. The monastery is safe because of your devoted students. I am now fully convinced you are the only one who can save Fódlan.

Choice 1	Choice 2
That's taking it a bit too far.	You can count on me.
Seteth: No, not so.	Seteth: Ah, so you have finally accepted your destiny.

Seteth: On the very day I return to Garreg Mach, you awaken and return as well. This is no mere coincidence but, rather, the work of the goddess.

What's your reason for being here?

Seteth: Actually... Well, it would be easier to just show you. Come with me to the Holy Mausoleum. I realize that since you have been slumbering for so long, you have no idea what has transpired in the various territories. Allow me to explain...
Seteth: After the Battle of Garreg Mach, there was a change of regime in the Kingdom. House Blaiddyd suffered a series of brutal massacres, which claimed the lives of Dimitri and Regent Rufus. The Kingdom capital fell and was absorbed into the Empire as the Faerghus Dukedom, which is now under Cornelia's control. Some still resist the Empire. As of now, Rodrigue of House Fraldarius is at the center of such efforts. In the Alliance, Claude leads the faction that opposes the Empire, and Lorenz leads those who have sided with them. The front lines are ever in motion, but the war effort has stagnated overall.
Seteth: In short, both the Kingdom and the Alliance have been swallowed up by the Empire and are on the verge of collapse. We must gather our generals and soldiers under your command and reverse this dire situation.

Event - Begin Again

Holy Mausoleum Daytime

Seteth: Flayn, look! The professor has returned to us.
(Flayn approaches the arriving Seteth and Byleth)
Flayn: Hm? What do you mean... Oh! Goodness! It really IS you, Professor! I cannot believe you are still of this world! We were so worried we would never see you again.

What are you doing here?

Flayn: I forgot something important in the Holy Mausoleum... I told my brother I had to go back for it no matter what, and so here I am...
Seteth: After we finished here, we were going to continue our search for Rhea. But now that you are here, things have changed. We must not waste this opportunity. We shall send word to the knights scattered all across the land. The time has come for the Knights of Serios to return to action. We are counting on you, Professor!
