Special Quests/The Queen's Ascension/1-2: The Order's Past

Part 1/4  Pirika  [ Hey, Rowendia? ]

 Rowendia  [ Yes? ]

 Pirika  [ Can you tell me about the incident at Mendel? ]

 Rowendia  [ Wait, where did you hear about Mendel? ]

 Pirika  [ Atone told me. You helped resolve it, right? ]

 Rowendia  [ Well, yes, but...I wish he hadn't said anything. ]

 Rowendia  [ There’s not really that much to say. Right, Lephret? ]

 Lephret  [ Ooh, I remember Mendel... I was still in the Order of the Pure Hearts then. ]

 Pirika </b> [ Really? I thought you’d always been in the Holy Guard. ]

 Lephret </b> [ Nope. Rowendia and I always have been together. ]

 Pirika </b> [ Is that true? ]

 Rowendia </b> [ It is. Right now we’ve both transferred to the Holy Guard... ]

 Lephret </b> [ ...but we first joined the Pure Hearts right after we graduated from the academy. ]

 Lephret </b> [ Truth be told, I would have rather gone with my brother Baxton instead. ]

 Pirika </b> [ Wait, you’re siblings?! ]

 Baxton </b> [ Not exactly. We just grew up together in the same orphanage. ]

 Pirika </b> [ That makes sense. But then, why are you in a different order now? ]

 Pirika </b> [ You’re both part of the Holy Guard, right? ]

 Baxton </b> [ It’s simple. I couldn't keep up with Lephret's talent or Rowendia's family status. ]

 Baxton </b> [ Besides, the leader there was really nice. ]

 Pirika </b> [ So why did you start off in the Pure Hearts, Rowendia? ]

 Pirika </b> [ Given your pedigree, I would’ve thought you’d be in the Holy Guard from the start. ]

 Rowendia </b> [ Nope. I refused any help from my family and joined a regular academy. ]

 Pirika </b> [ There’s more than one kind of academy? ]

<b> Rowendia </b> [ Oh yes. There’s the Military Academy for children of nobles and knights... ]

<b> Lephret </b> [ Then there’s the regular academies for those like me, who have nothing. ]

<b> Rowendia </b> [ So Rhuana, Elena, and all the other Holy Knights went to the Military Academy, huh? ]

<b> Pirika </b> [ I guess that means you two are pretty special. ]

<b> Rowendia </b> [ Someone like me would normally be able to join the Holy Guard, but... ]

<b> Rowendia </b> [ Once the Royal Capital fell, they desperately needed more knights. ]

<b> Lephret </b> [ That explains why I'm there too. ]

<b> Lephret </b> [ Many knights from the Holy Light were killed too, so... ]

<b> Baxton </b> [ Only a few survived, including the Commander. ]

<b> Pirika </b> [ That must have been so hard... ]

<b> Elena </b> [ Apologies for interrupting, Captain, but have you seen Atone? ]

<b> Pirika </b> [ Sure. He’s out training with Maurice. ]

<b> Lephret </b> [ Hi, Elena. What do you need from Atone? ]

<b> Elena </b> [ I heard our last raid was related to Mendel, so I just want to talk to him. ]

<b> Dannady </b> [ Captain, we've just received an urgent request for help from the border patrol. ]

<b> Elena </b> [ hat doesn't sound good... Let’s head over right away. ]

<b> Monster </b> [ ... ]

<b> Rowendia </b> [ I can’t believe the Black Army made it all the way here. ]

<b> Dannady </b> [ It doesn't matter. We have a job to do. Let’s go! ]

Part 2/4

<b> Thomas </b> [ Why you...! Get out of here! ]

<b> Monster </b> [ ...! ]

<b> Thomas </b> [ Man, you’re a tough one... ]

<b> Elena </b> [ Out of the way. I’ll handle this! ]

<b> Thomas </b> [ Oh man, not Elena... ]

<b> Atone </b> [ What? What’s going on? ]

<b> Thomas </b> [ Ever since she chased me around with that spear... ]

<b> Maurice </b> [ That’s what happens when you hit on a woman you just met... ]

<b> Thomas </b> [ Well, hey. She was so pretty, I just had to go for it. ]

<b> Atone </b> [ *Sigh...* ]

<b> Rowendia </b> [ You've got guts going after Elena. ]

<b> Atone </b> [ Lady Rowendia... ]

<b> Rowendia </b> [ Atone? What is it? ]

<b> Atone </b> [ It’s, uh... It’s nothing! ]

<b> Rowendia </b> [ Well, whatever’s on your mind, let’s wait till after the battle. Focus on the enemy. ]

<b> Atone </b> [ Yes, ma’am! ]

<b> Thomas </b> [ Sure, whatever. ]

<b> Atone </b> [ Thomas! ]

<b> Thomas </b> [ What? Why’re you getting upset? ]

Part 3/4 <b> Dannady </b> [ Be gone, foul beast! None shall pass this way! ]

<b> Pirika </b> [ The monster’s scared! Now’s our chance! ]

<b> Lephret </b> [ Okay. Let’s do this. ]

<b> Pirika </b> [ There’s something about hearing Lephret after Dannady that just gets to me. ]

<b> Phoena </b> [ Well, I like it. That voice has got some spirit. ]

<b> Pirika </b> [ You think so? ]

<b> Dannady </b> [ Lephret! You’ve got a golem headed your way! ]

<b> Lephret </b> [ Piece of cake. *Yawn...* ]

 -- Lephret smashes the golem with her hammer -- 

<b> Dannady </b> [ Wow, nice job. ]

<b> Lephret </b> [ Told you it was a piece of cake. ]

<b> Dannady </b> [ Oh, yeah, that reminds me: we need to finish up so we can have lunch. ]

<b> Lephret </b> [ Good point, I’m starving. Okay, let’s get ‘em! ]

Part 4/4 <b> Elena </b> [ You’re on a completely different level, aren't you? ]

<b> Dannady </b> [ Still, something’s not right. There’re so few guards... ]

<b> Guard </b> [ Most of them did go back to Holy Capital after receiving new orders. ]

<b> Elena </b> [ Really? What could the Commander be thinking, leaving defences so thin? ]

<b> Dannady </b> [ I'm sure he had his reasons... ]

[ *Pant...* *pant...* ]

<b> Dannady </b> [ Who goes there? ]

[ You’re from the Holy Order... ]

<b> Elena </b> [ That voice... It couldn't be... ]

<b> Louise </b> [ Thank goodness I was able to find you all... ]

<b> Dannady </b> [ Your Majesty?! ]
