(Y/N): We're back!
Yang: And a lot of shit is going to happen in this one!
Ruby: You bet! We'll join a high school group called the Phantom Thieves, meet a legendary soldier, fight against a tyrannical empire, meet Eliwood's son, and who knows wha...
It came as a shock to Roy when you told him, and he couldn't believe it. Lycia, the home where he grew up, was no longer safe. Bern's invasion had caused all of Lycia to turn on you guys. Roy suggested that the party take the path through the mountains to get to Ostia in order to avoid any trouble.
At a castle nearby, a group of bandits were conversing.
Bandit: Boss! Our boys just got back from scouting the village.
Dory: Then let's go get our tribute.
Bandit: But Boss, something's different today. There's an army stationed real close to us! They say it looks like the Lycian Army.
Dory: Lycia? Then there's nothing to worry about. They were almost wiped out by Bern. We can handle a few battered soldiers.
Bandit: You're right, boss!
Boss: They've probably got some valuables on them too! Still, don't get careless. Ready then? Let's mop up these losers, boys!
Back with you guys...
(Y/N): Come again, Merlinus?
Merlinus: This villager wants to talk.
Villager: Are you (Y/N) (L/N)?
(Y/N): Yes.
Villager: And you're the son of Marquess Pherae, Roy?
Roy: That is me.
Villager: Please, I beg of you. Bandits are attacking our village!
Roy: Bandits?
Villager: There's a group of bandits that made their base in the castle near the cliffs.
Roy: Where are the castle guards?
Villager: They fled once they heard that the Lycian Army was defeated by Bern... We villagers were left on our own. Our days are spent in fear of bandit attacks. Please, help us!
(Y/N): Alright then!
Merlinus: Lord (Y/N), you can't be serious.
(Y/N): Merlinus, we can't just ignore their cries for help.
Roy: (Y/N) is correct. That would weigh on my consciousness as well.
Villager: You will help us?! Thank you! Please use the gate to the west. It'll take you right to the castle.
Soon...
The villager lead the gang to the castle.
(Y/N): Looks like we're here!
Roy: We should hurry and take them out as quick as we can.
(Y/N): Hey, do you think you guys can fight around most of them? Roy and I will go for the leader and wrap this up.
Marcus: Very well then.
Yang: Man, it sucks when you guys go after the leader first, but hey, the more the merrier!
With that, you and Roy appeared before Dory!
Dory: HA! Fools! No one has survived a blow from my axe! Want to see?
Dory goes to attack, but then you sigh and swung Durandal and easily destroy it.
Dory: WHAT?!
(Y/N): Do you know a legendary blade when you see it?
Dory: HUH?!
(Y/N): Roy?
Roy: I'm sorry about this.
Roy took down Dory with one swing.
Dory: AGH!!
(Y/N): That takes care of that!
And the rest of the party took out the army too!
Weiss: Say, some priest came by. He wants to talk to you guys and Princess Guinevere too.
(Y/N): You don't say. Weiss, are you sure this guy is legit?
Weiss: I asked for Merlinus to inspect him, and he confirmed it.
Soon...
???: A pleasure to make your acquaintance. You are the hero of Elibe, (Y/N), correct?
(Y/N): Yes.
???: And you, Lord Roy of Pherae?
Roy: Yes.

Saul (An acolyte of the St. Elimine Church!)
Saul: Lord Roy, it is a pleasure to meet you at last. I am Saul, an acolyte of the St. Elimine Church. And you must be Princess Guinivere! You are as beautiful as the rumors say!
Guinevere: Pardon me...?
Saul: Ahem... Forgive me. Your Highness, I wish to know the location of the Fire Emblem. You have it with you, don't you?
(Y/N): You know about Bern's Fire Emblem?
Saul: Bern's head church tells us the Fire Emblem disappeared from the Shrine of Seals. And you also went missing at exactly the same time.
Guinevere: .....
Saul: I was sent by the Church to confirm the truth. Why did you take the Fire Emblem?
Guinevere: ...I wished to stop my brother.
Saul: Your brother... Zephiel, the king of Bern.
Guinevere: Yes.
(Y/N): I know the Fire Emblem is of great important when Zephiel was going to be coordinated, but how important is it really?
Guinevere: ...It's the key that awakens a sword that was used to slay the dragons long ago. That was what my father told me anyway. I am unsure how exactly the Fire Emblem or the sword work. My brother seemed to worry abut the Fire Emblem falling into enemy hands. ...Extraordinarily so.
(Y/N): So, you took it in order to stop your brother's conquest?
Guinevere: Yes...but the war continued anyway.
Saul: And what will you do now?
Guinevere: ...Must I reveal my plan at this moment?
Saul: Ah, so Your Highness has a plan.
Guinevere: Yes. I have not given up hope of settling this war without further bloodshed.
Saul: I see. In that case, I will accompany you on your journey.
(Y/N): You seem to be like you can help us out a lot. We need all we can against Bern. It's a very strong country from what I remember.
Roy: (Y/N) is right, we need all the help that we can get.
Saul: Thank you very much.
Guinevere: (Y/N), are you alright?
(Y/N): Yeah. I'm not going to let Zephiel get away with all he's done. Something must have happened. He seemed like such a nice guy from everything I heard. Your father ... he wasn't kind to him. Whatever happened between them, that evil poisoned Zephiel, and now he has dragons in his army? He's turned out worse than his own father!
