You all returned to Badon after the events at Dragon's Gate, and Eliwood remained silent the whole time. 

(Y/N): Hey, Ninian, are you okay? 

Ninian: Yes. 

(Y/N): Good. You've grown a lot. 

Nils: (Y/N), is that really you? 

(Y/N): Yes. I know it's only been a year since we last saw you, but it seems like it's been a long time. 

Nils: So much has happened after you and the others departed. Who is he? 

Lyn: Hector, He's Marquess Ostia's brother. Don't let his attitude fool you, he acts mean, but he's a good man. 

Hector: That really hurts Lyndis. 

Lyn: HAHAHAHAHAHA! 

(Y/N): And that's Eliwood, he- 

Nils: He's the one who helped Ninian, Elbert's Son. 

Eliwood: Where did you meet my father?

Nils: At the Dragon's Gate. He set us free after we'd been captured. We escaped in a small boat, but I was thrown out in a storm. When I woke up, I was back on Valor. For a time, I hid in the ruins by myself. Then...I sensed something really dangerous. When I raced to the Dragon's Gate, I... I saw everything.

Ninian: Nils. 

Lyn: When we pulled Ninian from the boat, she'd lost her memory. I can't believe we brought her right back to her captors. What a horrible thing to do. ......I'm sorry.

Ninian: Don't be.  When Nils fell overboard, I didn't know what to do. ...I became lost within myself. If only I'd been stronger... ......All of this could have been avoided... I am...truly...sorry.

Nils: ...Ninian's power is greater than mine, but it costs her physical and emotional strength. ......Nergal exploited that...weakness...

(Y/N): THAT BASTARD! I SWEAR, HE'S GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!

Ruby: So, did he need you both, because you can summon dragons? 

Nils: I think it's because we can open the Dragon's Gate. Just calling them? Nergal can do that on his own.

Hector: Are you serious? 

Nils: Yes, but it requires a tremendous amount of quintessence. 

(Y/N): Quintessence?

Nils: That's what Nergal called it. The substance of the human spirit... Power. Energy. The essence of life itself. ...Nergal, he stole this quintessence.

Hector: ...What happens to those whose quintessence is stolen?

Nils: ...They... They die. Neither Ninian nor I have that power. Lyn knows. We only have our special power... Anyway, Nergal needed to gather a large amount of quintessence. So he sent his henchman, Ephidel, to get close to Marquess Laus. He sought to plant the seeds of war in Darin's power-hungry heart.

(Y/N): For what end? 

Nils: It seems the quintessence in each person varies in strength. A person of strong mind and body has hundreds of times more energy than the average person. It sounds like there aren't many people like that, though. It took too long for Nergal to find people with enough strength. Although it would take time, Nergal said the easiest way to get that much quintessence was by starting a war.

Blake: So he planned to make up for that quality with quantity? Monster! Is everyone just a pawn to him? 

Nils: ...Ephidel brought Elbert to the Dragon's Gate. He said he'd found the ideal source they had sought. Nergal's plans for war had been stopped, and yet...he was happy. He'd taken so much energy from the knights traveling with Elbert. He was sure he'd get even better quintessence from Elbert...
