B-but, Lady Eremiya... They were with us in the orphanage... with you too, Lady Eremiya...

Agh! Did... Did I deserve that?

I was born in a town called Knorda. Have you ever heard of it? I... know it all too well. In Knorda, I was treated like an animal, beaten for fun. Whenever I couldn't stand the pain, I'd just close my eyes and think of nothing, taking refuge within my heart's confines...

...Sob... sob... ...Kris... Kris... Kris...!

Oh, Kris! I'm going out for a bit.

*Sigh* I can't win no matter what I do...

What? We-we have to fight Ogma...? Kris, Ogma is a hero from the last war... He'll make for a formidable enemy.

Oh, Clarisse...

I'm... not like them anymore. Kris... I want to be of use to you. That feeling is mine and mine alone. Not just some order! But my own truest desire... My treasure. Let's go, Kris.

Lady Eremiya...!

I... ...I'm called Katarina, too. The same as you.

I know...I know... It makes no sense. Perhaps it's even unsettling to hear such a thing! Whether I am wrong or you simply don't recall those days, I pledge my service to you fully. I'm not sure I'm always the most competent person in your group, but I will always give you my best!

Lady Eremiya, the Altean army is strong. Now that Legion has been defeated... Perhaps we should refrain from pursuing them.

Yes?

I would like to visit a desert, and see the land stretch on and on...

You'll die if you underestimate Kris and the others, Clarisse. I served as Kris' tactician, but I wasn't much help as one; I didn't give them the advice a tactician should give. Even without me, Kris and the others are strong.

Hm...

We're here for the same reason, then. My name is Katarina. I came because I wish to serve Prince Marth. But there sure are a lot of hopefuls here. Look, there's one over there and another there...

My name is Katarina. I've brought a gift from Friend.

I have to wear this for a mission, s-so don't think this is a normal thing for me...

Seeing as we're enemies, that would be the logical thing to do. I would hate to strike you down unanswered.

Is there anything that needs doing? I get nervous standing around with nothing to do...

What should we do? I know, how about we ask Sir Jagen?

I wonder... Do Plegia's festivals have tournaments as well? These clothes don't seem like they would be well suited for battle...

hehe

Let's keep at it together!

I warned you. The Altean army is strong...

I am not Katarina.

One of the warriors I summoned? What is it, sir?

How can I ever atone for...what I did?

Oh no, this is the first time. Miss Athena, you should stand back rather than force yourself. We can handle the rest.

Happy to!

*Sigh* I can't win no matter what I do...

Ah, it's Prince Marth! He looks so majestic. So that's the face of the hero who saved the world.

...I see... Then it seems I have no choice but to regain your trust through my actions from now. Cecil... I truly hope we'll someday be able to talk and laugh together, like we used to.

The Fell Dragon reminds them of past wars, and regret over those slain. They speak of a fallen Exalt... When I heard they worshiped the Fell Dragon, I imagined them as a malign people, but now I don't think so. They are no different from me,

I would rather not have taken up a weapon, but you've left me with no choice!

I'm... not like them anymore. Kris... I want to be of use to you. That feeling is mine and mine alone. Not just some order! But my own truest desire... My treasure. Let's go, Kris.

Wonderful! Cecil is sure to be happy with your decision. I look forward to seeing your new look. See you tomorrow then, Kris.

Yes... I feel everyone's happiness as well. Kris...

I must be doing well today! I'll be sure to make the most of it while I can!

Hear hear, Prince Marth! It was wonderful hearing Prince Marth speak, wasn't it, Kris?

It's alright. Please leave it to me. I want to help you, Kris, any little that I can. Well, I'll be off now.

I would rather not have taken up a weapon, but you've left me with no choice!

...I'm sorry. I thought I wouldn't be allowed in the front lines if they found out I was wounded.

Clarisse, we've located the captives.

Clothing for hot places is bold... Am I wearing it right?
