Ironclad A |
I've found Vanrouge! SEIZE HIM! |
| *The Ironclads charge at Lilia* |
 |
Gah! |
| *Lilia falls to the ground* |
Ironclad A |
He's fallen! Surround him, quickly! |
Ironclad B |
So you're the Dragon's Hand—the Briarland general feared by so many. |
Ironclad A |
Alas, you've been reduced to a pitiful bat that's crashed to the ground, never to fly again. You're so pathetic I could cry. |
Ironclad B |
Be a good little bat and hand over the egg, and I'll let you live. |
|
*SCREECH!* |
Ironclad A |
Even now you refuse to accept defeat? Sounds like you really want to do this the hard way! I'll give you a knight's mercy and finish you cleanly. HRAAAGH! |
Lilia |
...! |
| *Another sword clashes with the Ironclad's blade* |
Ironclads |
?! |
Ironclad A |
You're the Dawn Knight... No, wait! Who in blazes are you?! Identify yourself! |
 |
...My name is Silver. And I won't let you run rampant any longer. |
|
Draw your swords! |
Briarland - Forest
|
There! HYAAAH! |
SFX |
*CRASH!* |
|
Sir Vanrouge! Are you all right?! |
|
Urgh... I'm managing, thanks to you. Maybe now there's a shred of hope… |
|
We had a number of run-ins with Silver Owls on our way to you. There may be more lying in wait. We should get moving. |
|
...Silver. I'm in no position to ask favors of a human, but hear me out anyway. |
|
Sir? |
|
I don't have long... My arms and legs aren't exactly being cooperative at the moment. |
|
Wh….. What are you.. |
|
Please, take the egg... Deliver it to Castle Blackscale in my place. |
|
If you face Mount Dread, then head in a 10 o'clock direction from there...you'll find a patrol campground. Make your way...there… |
|
You want us to leave you? |
|
You probably don't hear them, but there's more ironclad bootsteps drawing closer. There are far more than you can fend off while carrying someone wounded. |
|
When they get here, I'll tell 'em...I threw the egg into the ravine to unencumber myself… |
|
Should buy you... some time... *cough, cough* |
|
...... |
|
All right. |
|
MC. Could you carry Malleus's egg? |
| Consider it done. | You want ME to do it?! |
 |
It looked big when Lilia was carryin' it, and now it looks even bigger. |
|
Sir Vanrouge, if you'll excuse me... Hup. |
| *Silver picks up Lilia* |
|
What?! What are you doing?! You would haul me on your back like an infant?! Don't tell me you intend to climb Dragontail Peak carrying me?! That's beyond reckless! |
|
Put me down and—*cough, cough* |
|
Don't worry; I grew up in the mountains. Climbing with a heavy load on my back is nothing new. "As long as you survive, you can worry about the rest later." That's what my teacher taught me. |
|
So don't give up on living...ever! |
|
You...little... Who do you think you are...to lecture me... Urgh... |
|
I think Lilia passed out. |
|
It's a wonder he stayed on his feet as long as he did. We should let him sleep for a while. |
|
Do we stop by the campground a short ways up the mountain, or would it be better to head straight for Mount Dread...? |
|
Either way, we'll have to head north. Let's move, guys. We have to deliver Father and Malleus to Castle Blackscale! |
