|episode1Title=Life With Brothers
|episode1Content=<div style="text-align:left">
{{ST|Ranzal}} Hell yes! It's finally time for a breather! I tell ya, comin' back home to kick yer feet up does a man a world'a good.
{{ST|Sharena}} I understand what you mean, Ranzal, even though I have only been staying at the Halidom for a small while now.
{{ST|The Prince}} It seems like you're fitting in well with everyone here, Sharena.
{{ST|Sharena}} I certainly am! The people here are all lovely, and I hope to become friends with them all!
{{ST|The Prince}} You see things a little differently from Alfonse, don't you?
{{ST|Sharena}} Do I? How so?
{{ST|The Prince}} Well, I always got the impression that he drew a fine line between faith in one's allies and actual friendship.
{{ST|Sharena}} Yes, my brother did often remind me not to get too attached to our Heroes.
{{ST|Sharena}} But he has his ways, and I have mine.
{{ST|Ranzal}} Bwa ha ha! If yer lookin' to become friends, it's way too late for that. Once ya fight alongside someone, yer ALREADY their friend!
{{ST|Sharena}} Truly? Oh, thank you, Ranzal!
{{ST|Luca}} Aaaargh! Knock it off, Sarisse! I'm sorry! Forgive meee!
{{ST|Sarisse}} There's no use arguing!
{{ST|Sarisse}} You addlepated lunkhead!
{{ST|Luca}} Gwaaah!
{{ST|Sharena}} Goodness, that was quite the racket! Are you all right, Luca?
{{ST|Ranzal}} Ha! Just business as usual around here. Don't worry about it.
{{ST|Sharena}} Er, but it appears that Luca's eyes have rolled back into his head.
{{ST|Luca}} ......
{{ST|Sarisse}} Ha ha...ha? Yeah, maybe I whacked him just a little too hard there...
{{ST|The Prince}} Ranzal and I will carry him to his room.
{{ST|Sarisse}} Hey, thanks, Euden.
{{ST|Sharena}} Ranzal said this was "business as usual," Sarisse. Are you and Luca often like this?
{{ST|Sarisse}} Yeah, I guess you could say that. He does something boneheaded, then I give him the business.
{{ST|Sarisse}} But that's what brothers and sisters do. I mean, don't you and Alfonse ever fight?
{{ST|Sharena}} Honestly, not really.
{{ST|Sarisse}} In that case, we should have a brother swap. You can spend your days getting mad at Lunkhead Luca, and I can float around agreeing with Mr. Perfect.
{{ST|Sharena}} In truth, I'm jealous of your relationship. I've never really connected with my brother in that fashion.
{{ST|Sarisse}} Sharena, this is NOT a good thing! Trust me, it's waaay better to have a grown-up older brother like Alfonse.
{{ST|Sharena}} But Luca is so good-humored and considerate of you.
{{ST|Sarisse}} And Alfonse is serious and grown up! He HAS to be the better brother!
{{ST|Sharena}} It's true that my brother is kind and hard- working, and always looking out for me as we work together in the Order of Heroes...
{{ST|Alfonse}} Are you not tired, Sharena?
{{ST|Alfonse}} Do not overcommit yourself, Sharena.
{{ST|Alfonse}} Are you well, Sharena?
{{ST|Sharena}} ...But he's also a rather chronic worrier. You might even say he doesn't trust me.
{{ST|Sarisse}} Just like Luca!
{{ST|Sarisse}} That dope ignores my feelings, does and says whatever he wants, then takes off on his own and makes me worry!
{{ST|Luca}} Grrnghf! I-I give up! I was wrong! M-mercy!
{{ST|Luca}} Ho, Sarisse! I'm glad you're safe. I was so worried.
{{ST|Luca}} Stay the hell away from my sister! Haaah!
{{ST|Sarisse}} Luca's a bonehead... And brash... And sort of stupid... And a child... But sometimes he can be pretty cool.
{{ST|Sarisse}} But just sometimes! Like, I'm talking mega ultra TURBO rare occasions. Usually he's just a big ol' meathead.
{{ST|Sharena}} Heh. It seems you two are actually quite close after all.
{{ST|Sarisse}} Man, now you've got me all worried about how hard I whacked him...
{{ST|Sharena}} I'm sure you'll patch things up in no time. After all, he's your older brother.
{{ST|Sarisse}} You think so?
{{ST|Sharena}} Perhaps you can bake him some treats by way of apology.
{{ST|Sharena}} My brother always loves it when I bring him homemade treats, and I'm sure Luca would as well.
{{ST|Sarisse}} Hrm...
{{ST|Sarisse}} Luca was the one who messed up, but I DO feel like I overdid it a little... So yeah, it might actually be good for me to apologize somehow.
{{ST|Sarisse}} But wouldn't he think it's weird for me to suddenly do something like that?
{{ST|Sharena}} If you poured your heart into them, I'm sure he would love it.
{{ST|Sarisse}} Yeah, maybe. But I ain't exactly Cleo when it comes to the ol' kitchen.
{{ST|Sharena}} Well, I'm something of an amateur baker. Perhaps we can make them together?
{{ST|Sarisse}} Really? That would be great!
{{ST|Sharena}} Oh, it's so good to be making real friends here!
{{ST|Sarisse}} You can double that feeling on my end!
{{ST|Sharena}} Well then, let's get over to the kitchen and see about those treats.
{{ST|Sarisse}} Heck yeah!
</div>
|episode2Title=Treats Galore
|episode2Content=<div style="text-align:left">
{{ST|Sharena}} Look at all these delicious baked treats!
{{ST|Sarisse}} Oh man, they smell sooo good... Makes me wanna take a bite!
{{ST|Sharena}} Well, I suppose it's only right to try them before serving them to others, yes?
{{ST|Sarisse}} Don't have to tell me twice! *chomp*
{{ST|Sharena}} Agreed. *nibble*
{{ST|Sarisse}} Hmm... Well, they're certainly sweet enough—and delicious in general— but they also might be a touch dry.
{{ST|Sharena}} Hmm, yes. And if they're dry fresh out of the oven like this, the issue will only be worse once they've cooled down.
{{ST|Notte}} OUTTA THE WAY, FOOLS! NOTTE WANTS TREATS!
{{ST|Cleo}} Stand down, Notte! I'll not have you going overboard with snacks before dinner.
{{ST|Sharena}} Cleo! Just the woman we wanted to see! Can you try one of these treats and let us know your professional culinary opinion?
{{ST|Cleo}} Well, I suppose one won't hurt. *munch*
{{ST|Notte}} Hey, no fair! What about MY professional culpability opinion, huh?!
{{ST|Sharena}} Ha ha! Very well, Notte. Open wide.
{{ST|Sarisse}} Well? Do you like them?
{{ST|Cleo}} They're quite good, but I believe you need to heat the oven longer before putting them in.
{{ST|Cleo}} If an oven is not sufficiently preheated, your dough will slacken, and it will also take more time to cook, causing them to dry out.
{{ST|Sharena}} See, I knew you'd be able to help, Cleo! Right then. It's on to batch number two. These are going to knock your socks off!
{{ST|Cleo}} Well, I have a number of chores to attend to, so I will check in on you in a while. Oh, and dinner is still on the way, so do try not to make TOO many sweets, yes?
{{ST|Together}} You got it!
{{ST|Cleo}} ...If this is your idea of "not making too many," I shudder to think of your idea of "a lot."
{{ST|Sharena}} Er, sorry. We sort of got...carried away.
{{ST|Notte}} "We have too many treats" is a SUPER  weird complaint for something this delish! Seriously, Cleo, your tip about the oven was right on point.
{{ST|Sarisse}} I tell you what—these puppies look so good, I could horf 'em all down right now.
{{ST|Cleo}} Please do not "horf them all down," or I fear you will not be able to eat your dinner for a week.
{{ST|Cleo}} That being said, these aren't the type of thing that will keep well, so we'd best decide what to do with them in the very near future.
{{ST|Sharena}} I take full responsibility, and will consume every last one to ensure none are wasted.
{{ST|Sarisse}} You can't eat all those—you'd explode! There's enough here for like fifty Nottes!
{{ST|Notte}} And speeeeeeaking of Notte, she's more than happy to help with treat disposal.
{{ST|Sharena}} No. This is my fault, and I can't impose on anyone else to fix it.
{{ST|Cleo}} I disagree, Sharena.
{{ST|Cleo}} These treats were a group effort; there is no need for you to take full responsibility.
{{ST|Sharena}} Oh, Cleo...
{{ST|Cleo}} Also, your plan is simply untenable. You cannot eat this many treats in one sitting—I don't even think Ranzal is capable of such a feat.
{{ST|Notte}} In that case, what say we hand 'em out to Halidom folks and the nearby village?
{{ST|Sarisse}} That's a great idea—even a mountain of treats like this is no match for that many hungry mouths.
{{ST|Cleo}} Then let us divide them up and begin the deliveries at once. Treats such as these are better when fresh, after all.
{{ST|Sharena}} Thank you all so much.
{{ST|Sarisse}} Aw, it ain't no big thing. Friends gotta come together to help each other when the chips are down, after all!
{{ST|Sharena}} In that case, I'll do my best to make sure these snacks find their way to all those happy stomachs!
{{ST|Sharena}} ...Well, we've certainly cut down on the number of surplus treats.
{{ST|Sharena}} And while the residents of the Halidom were certainly glad to receive them, I wonder how things will go here.
{{ST|Cleo}} I wouldn't worry. There are a number of children in this village, and I've never known a youngster to refuse a treat.
{{ST|Village Child}} Whoa, something smells goooood! Where'd you guys come from?
{{ST|Sharena}} As if on cue!
{{ST|Sharena}} We have come from the Halidom in the Mistholt to deliver treats to all of you.
{{ST|Village Child}} Whaaaaat?! Treeeeats?!
{{ST|Sharena}} Yes, and they're all homemade. Please take as many as you like!
{{ST|Village Child}} ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?!
{{ST|???}} Hoy, what's the meaning of this?!
{{ST|Child's Father}} Who said you could talk to my boy?!
{{ST|Cleo}} I assure you, sir, we meant no harm. We were merely—
{{ST|Child's Father}} Causin' trouble is what you were doing! We've no need of you Mistholt types here, so get lost and forget the way back!
{{ST|Child's Father}} Dammit, boy! How many times have I told you not to take things from strangers?!
{{ST|Village Child}} I'm sorry, sir.
{{ST|Child's Father}} Go on home, now. Get!
{{ST|Cleo}} Well, he was a rather wary fellow.
{{ST|Sharena}} Do we truly look so suspicious?
{{ST|Village Child}} Um, sorry about my father, ma'am.
{{ST|Cleo}} It's only natural for a parent to teach a child not to accept things from strangers.
{{ST|Sharena}} In that case, we'll just have to ensure that we are NOT strangers.
{{ST|Village Child}} Huh?
{{ST|Sharena}} Greetings! My name is Sharena! And what is your name, young man?
{{ST|Village Child}} Um, I'm Mathias.
{{ST|Sharena}} Mathias, is it? Well then, it seems we're proper acquaintances now—or perhaps even friends!
{{ST|Sharena}} And what could be wrong with giving treats to a friend, mmm?
{{ST|Cleo}} Goodness, but this is all being laid on a bit thick...
{{ST|Sharena}} What's wrong, Cleo? This is a perfect plan, is it not?
{{ST|Mathias}} Yeah! You're my friend now, which means my father can't be upset with me!
{{ST|Cleo}} While you are observing the letter of the law, you trample the spirit of it in the dust. There is no way this boy's father will ever fall for such a ham-handed runaround.
{{ST|Sharena}} Then if he gets angry at Mathias, I will bear that anger alongside him. For that is what true friends do!
{{ST|Cleo}} *siiigh* Well, as there is CLEARLY no talking you out of this, I suppose I should go along. Three can bear the brunt of anger better than two, after all.
{{ST|Sharena}} Exactly! Now then, Mathias, reach your hands in there and take all the treats you can handle.
{{ST|Mathias}} Thank you, ma'am! *crunch* *munch*
{{ST|Sharena}} Er, do you like them?
{{ST|Mathias}} Oh yeah! They're as good as Mom's!
{{ST|Sharena}} Really?! Oh, but I'm so delighted! Thank you for saying so.
{{ST|Cleo}} *sigh* Goodness me.
{{ST|Cleo}} (This little escapade is all well and good, but I can't help wondering why Mathias's father was so upset with our being here.)
{{ST|Sharena}} Eeek! Careful, now! If you jump at me, the treats will end up on the ground!
{{ST|Cleo}} Honestly, what ARE you doing?
</div>
|episode3Title=Tandem Lances
|episode3Content=<div style="text-align:left">
{{ST|Sharena}} Hah! Yah! Taaake...THIS!
{{ST|Elisanne}} You are working quite diligently, Princess Sharena. Lance training, is it?
{{ST|Sharena}} Elisanne! What brings you here?
{{ST|Elisanne}} I heard the treats I received the other day were made by your hand, so I wished to express my gratitude in person.
{{ST|Elisanne}} They were absolutely delicious.
{{ST|Sharena}} You came all this way just to say that? Ha ha! Perhaps I should be thanking you!
{{ST|Elisanne}} But more to the matter at hand—your lance skills are nothing to scoff at. Did you study under a master?
{{ST|Sharena}} My teacher was a man named Zacharias. He was an old friend of my brother and me, and a member of the Order of Heroes.
{{ST|Elisanne}} He WAS a member? My apologies. I did not mean to open old wounds.
{{ST|Sharena}} Oh, it's all right. Don't worry about—
{{ST|Notte}} Guys! GUYYYYYYS! We got fiends attacking a village, guyyyyyys!
{{ST|Elisanne}} I shall rally the others at once!
{{ST|Notte}} Dude, there ARE no others! It's just you! Everyone else is out dealing with the fiends popping outta those space hole thingies.
{{ST|Elisanne}} In that case, Princess Sharena, I fear I must beg your aid in this matter.
{{ST|Sharena}} Of course. We'll depart at once.
{{ST|Elisanne}} ...Fie, but there are far more fiends here than I anticipated. If we don't act quickly, the casualties will be terrible indeed.
{{ST|Sharena}} We should split up.
{{ST|Sharena}} I will divert the fiends' attention while you lead the villagers to safety.
{{ST|Elisanne}} I cannot permit you to take on so many fiends at once!
{{ST|Sharena}} Even our combined might cannot hope to stop all of these fiends, Elisanne. Our only hope is to have one of us serve as a distraction.
{{ST|Elisanne}} Though it pains me, I hear the truth of your words. Let us do as you suggest.
{{ST|Elisanne}} But if you get even the slightest sense that the danger is overwhelming, you must promise to call for me!
{{ST|Sharena}} Come, fiends! Meet your true adversary!
{{ST|Sharena}} Haaaah!
{{ST|Sharena}} Hrk... I'm not finished yet!
{{ST|Sharena}} *pant* I'll be honest... This isn't going... quite as well as I'd hoped...
{{ST|Sharena}} But I'll not be laid low so easily! If I can just buy a little more time, all the villagers will be able to flee!
{{ST|Sharena}} Oh, blast!
{{ST|Elisanne}} Haaaah!
{{ST|Elisanne}} I believe that was the last one. Are you hurt, Princess Sharena?
{{ST|Sharena}} I'm fine, thanks to your good work.
{{ST|Elisanne}} I am pleased you are well, but that was just the kind of dangerous situation where I asked you to call out for me. Why did you not do so?
{{ST|Sharena}} Because it would have delayed the evacuation of the villagers.
{{ST|Sharena}} Perhaps I underestimated the situation, but I did not wish to trouble you.
{{ST|Elisanne}} I understand, but would think it a failure of your priorities if they led to your injury—or worse.
{{ST|Elisanne}} If you agree that we are comrades—which I dearly hope you do—then I would have you turn to me whenever you are in need. There can be no holding back.
{{ST|Sharena}} ......
{{ST|Elisanne}} Were my words overly harsh, Princess? I apologize if so.
{{ST|Sharena}} No, you're right, of course. And if I'm honest, I'm really happy that you think of us as comrades. You can count on me to hew to that relationship in the future.
{{ST|Elisanne}} We are comrades who fight alongside one another. If ever you find yourself in a dark moment, know I will be there.
{{ST|Sharena}} I am touched, Elisanne...
{{ST|Sharena}} However, I wonder if you might consider me a friend as well as a comrade?
{{ST|Elisanne}} Gladly.
{{ST|Sharena}} Oh, that makes me so happy!
{{ST|Elisanne}} Then friends it is, Sharena.
{{ST|Sharena}} Friends it is, Elly!

|episode4Title=A Grave Error
|episode4Content=<div style="text-align:left">
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} *pant* *wheeze* Damnation...  This wasn't supposed to happen!
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} I need to get out of here and report back to the main force before... Huh?!
{{ST|Ranzal}} Look lively, fool!
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Gwaaargh...
{{ST|Ranzal}} Right-o! Think that about takes care of all the baddies around here.
{{ST|The Prince}} How's it going, Ranzal?
{{ST|Ranzal}} Mopped 'em up but good, boss! Looks like you cleaned up all right, too.
{{ST|Sharena}} All the enemies have been dealt with. That being said, why would imperial troops be hiding in an area like this in the first place?
{{ST|Ranzal}} Intelligence gatherin', most likely. They spy on us, then run back to mama if they see anything outta the ordinary.
{{ST|Summer Ranzal}} But we sure took care'a that!
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} ......
{{ST|Summer Ranzal}} *yawn* Anyway, let's truss 'em up and go get ourselves some grub.
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} ...Hrk!
{{ST|Summer Ranzal}} Aw, hell! Can't believe I fell for the ol' "pretendin' to be unconscious" bit. Get back here, you!
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Not likely, pal! I've got legs of lightning!
{{ST|The Prince}} We're losing him!
{{ST|Summer Ranzal}} Damn, he IS fast! This punk's already put a wall between us and him!
{{ST|Sharena}} A wall... Wait, that's it!
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} *wheeze* Think I...lost 'em... Now to get back to base and—
{{ST|Sharena}} Yaaaah!
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} She took the damn wall down!
{{ST|Sharena}} Gotcha!
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Gaah!
{{ST|The Prince}} You did it, Sharena!
{{ST|Sharena}} That's the last bad guy down.
{{ST|Summer Ranzal}} Can't believe you made a shortcut by plowin' through some old ruin. That's thinkin' outside the box— or hell, outside the WALL!
{{ST|Sharena}} Still, I'm certain my older brother would have handled it even better.
{{ST|Summer Ranzal}} Ain't no need to be modest here. Strut around! Ya earned it!
{{ST|Sharena}} In that case, I will do so!
{{ST|The Prince}} Huh? Who's there?!
{{ST|???}} Wah?!
{{ST|???}} No! S-stop!
{{ST|Sharena}} You're Mathias's father from the village!
{{ST|Ranzal}} Guy don't look like he's with the imperials, so what's he doin' here?
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} I was just bringing food to the soldiers and... Oh, dear Ilia. Please tell me you didn't defeat them all!
{{ST|Sharena}} Actually, yes—we did defeat them all. Is that a problem?
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} What have you done...?
{{ST|Sharena}} I don't understand.
{{ST|The Prince}} Sir, please explain what you mean.
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} The village elder needs to hear this. Come with me—we can explain everything once we arrive.
{{ST|Sharena}} ......
{{ST|Ranzal}} The hell's wrong with this place? Not only were ya goin' along with the imperials hidin' out in that ruin, ya went and brought 'em FOOD!
{{ST|Village Chief}} We had no choice: Our village would have been razed to the ground had we tried to take a stand against the Empire.
{{ST|Ranzal}} Ya coulda tried tellin' us about it!
{{ST|Village Chief}} And if we had told you? What then? Likely you would have met the threat with force, which could have led to the exact same outcome.
{{ST|Village Chief}} I thought it better to submit to the Empire rather than resist and face certain death.
{{ST|The Prince}} So what will you do now?
{{ST|Village Chief}} ...Enough. Begone from here. The matter does not concern you.
{{ST|Ranzal}} Hey, the boss is tryin' to HELP ya!
{{ST|Village Chief}} This village's future will be decided in a discussion amongst its citizenry. I'm sorry, but I must insist that you leave.
{{ST|The Prince}} Very well.
{{ST|Ranzal}} You sure 'bout this, boss?
{{ST|The Prince}} No matter how good our intentions, we're no better than the Empire if we force them to bend to our will. They deserve to make their own choice.
{{ST|Ranzal}} Can't say I much care for it, but yer the boss, so...
{{ST|Sharena}} ......
{{ST|Sharena}} ......
{{ST|Ranzal}} Shake some dust, Sharena! We're headin' back to the Halidom.
{{ST|Sharena}} Yes, I know. It's just that... Well, I have a friend named Mathias in this village, and I was hoping to have a word with him before I departed.
{{ST|The Prince}} Should we wait for you outside the village in that case?
{{ST|Sharena}} No, please go on. It should be quick, so I'll just catch up to you later.
{{ST|Ranzal}} Gotcha. Don't be too long, yeah?
{{ST|Sharena}} ......
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} Our village is doomed... Doomed!
{{ST|Sharena}} What do you mean?
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} Gah! You again! ...Well, hell. I suppose there's little point in hiding it now.
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} The soldiers in those ruins were under orders to report back to the main force on a regular basis. Now that you took them all out, that can't happen.
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} And once they don't report back, the main force will come here and wipe out the entire village.
{{ST|Sharena}} But why? Surely this village—
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} Because that was always the agreement! All they needed from us was to shut up and let the force in the ruins do its thing.
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} Now that they're gone, we have no purpose at all. They'll brand us traitors and kill us all as a lesson to everyone who would think of standing against the Empire!
{{ST|Sharena}} But surely they wouldn't...?
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} Yes! They surely WOULD! You think we're the only village under the thumb of the Empire? They'll sacrifice us to serve as a warning to the rest of them!
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} It will be bad, bloody work. Young and old, man and woman... None will be spared.
{{ST|Sharena}} That's so cruel...
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} And it's YOUR FAULT!
{{ST|Sharena}} !
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} If you'd left even ONE of those soldiers standing in the ruins, we might have a chance—but you and your merry band went and took that from us!
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} I know you had good intentions, but... Oh, damn it all! What are we to do?!
{{ST|Sharena}} You will take every last person in the village and flee to the Halidom. We can protect you there.
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} And what of the elderly? The children? They'd never be able to keep up on a march such as that.
{{ST|Sharena}} Regardless, I'm going to return to the Halidom and speak to the prince. I know he'll be able to come up with something.
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} ENOUGH already! You have done ENOUGH! Please, I beg of you, stop meddling in our affairs and just...leave us be.
{{ST|Sharena}} Then...what should I...?
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} Do? There's nothing you can do. Just listen to the elder and go home.
{{ST|Sharena}} ......
{{ST|Mathias}} Sharena, what were you and my father talking about? What's going to happen?
{{ST|Sharena}} Mathias, you...
{{ST|Sharena}} ...You are going to be fine, so put your cares away. I will find all the bad people and make sure they leave you be.
{{ST|Mathias}} Really?
{{ST|Sharena}} Of course! There is no foe I wont stand against if it means saving a friend!
{{ST|Mathias}} Wait, is she going by HERSELF?
{{ST|Mathias}} Oh no... I gotta do something!

{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} C'mon, how much trouble can one girl give us? It's going to be past nightfall by the time we reach the village!
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} If she's reckless enough to take us on by herself, we'll just overwhelm her with our superior forces!
{{ST|Sharena}} *pant* *pant*
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Look, she's gettin' tired! Push the attack!
{{ST|Sharena}} *pant* *pant* No matter how relentless the assault, I will never stop fighting to protect my friends!
{{ST|Mathias}} Why?!
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} I told you all this before, boy! We don't have the means to fight.
{{ST|Mathias}} So if the Empire wants something, we just lie down and let them take it?!
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} If the choice is between that and death, it is no choice at all.
{{ST|Mathias}} Fine, then! I'll go alone!
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} You will do no such thing!
{{ST|Mathias}} But Sharena's out there fighting those bad Empire guys all by herself!
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} What?!
{{ST|Mathias}} She went to take them down by herself so she could save her friends!
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} That woman is a damn fool...
{{ST|Mathias}} No, she's not! She's my friend, and I'm going to help her!
{{ST|Mathias}} Come with me, Father! Help me! Take everything you're feeling inside and use it to do something good!
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} ...We can't do it, son. Not alone.
{{ST|Mathias}} But Father!
{{ST|Sharena}} Urgh... I'm wearing out...
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} This is the end for you!
{{ST|Sharena}} !
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Gaah!
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Of all the... YOU!
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} Don't fight alone! Surround them and keep close watch on your neighbor!
{{ST|Mathias}} Are you okay, Sharena?!
{{ST|Sharena}} Mathias, you brought the entire village!
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} I still think you're a meddling outsider, but you're also clearly my son's friend— which means we can't leave you to die.
{{ST|Mathias}} I asked my father to help you and he said yes!
{{ST|Sharena}} But now you'll be caught in the fighting...
{{ST|Villager}} Aaagh!
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} You pathetic hayseeds are no match for the might and glory of the Empire!
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Call for reinforcements! Don't stop until the ground runs red with their blood!
{{ST|Sharena}} This is terrible! I came here specifically to AVOID this outcome, but now...
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} We knew what we were getting into. We don't have the means to fight. Alone, the best we can hope for is to buy a little time.
{{ST|Sharena}} No...
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} You know what it means to risk your life for a friend—and I bet you have friends of your own who feel the same...
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Alert! We just received notice that enemy forces have overrun our HQ!
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} Of all the... HOW?!
{{ST|The Prince}} Looks like we're just in time.
{{ST|Cleo}} You continue to treat us like strangers instead of friends, Sharena.
{{ST|Sharena}} What are all of you doing here?
{{ST|Elisanne}} Did I not say before that I would be there during your darkest hour?
{{ST|Ranzal}} Ain't like us not to come runnin' when a friend's in trouble!
{{ST|Imperial Soldier}} How can there be so many of them?! THIS IS JUST ABSURD!
{{ST|Sarisse}} And we've plenty more where they came from!
{{ST|Sharena}} Oh, but this is so inspiring!
{{ST|The Prince}} The Empire's attention was diverted because you were fighting them here.
{{ST|The Prince}} That allowed the rest of us to sneak up and get the drop on them.
{{ST|Ranzal}} On top'a that, the villagers came to us rarin' to go. With them keepin' the soldiers busy, their HQ was prime for the taking!
{{ST|Elisanne}} All of this is because of you, Sharena. Your natural magnetism and leadership has moved mountains.
{{ST|Sharena}} Oh, I'm so happy! *sniff* Ugh, and now my nose is all snotty...
{{ST|Sarisse}} It's too soon to be letting up yet, folks. Let's wipe the floor with whoever's left!
{{ST|Sharena}} Yes! Here we go!
{{ST|Sarisse}} Ha ha! That was toooo easy.
{{ST|Sharena}} Thanks to all of you!
{{ST|Mathias}} Really?
{{ST|Sharena}} Ha ha, truth be told, I'm exhausted... But exhilarated at the same time!
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} Spoken like a true hero.
{{ST|Sharena}} Whaaat?!
{{ST|Villagers}} It's true, ma'am. We never could have done all this without you.
{{ST|Villagers}} You took on a whole array of imperial soldiers without so much as blinking!
{{ST|Villagers}} You saved so many lives!
{{ST|Villagers}} AND you overcame a desperate situation with quick wits and true talent!
{{ST|Mathias}} You really were amazing, ma'am. Like a hero from a faerie tale!
{{ST|The Prince}} They're right, Sharena. You're a hero today.
{{ST|Sharena}} Heh heh. I, um...thank you.
{{ST|Sharena}} But still, if not for you coming to my aid, this tale would have a very different end.
{{ST|Sharena}} I was only able to persevere because all of you were there for me.
{{ST|Sharena}} Which makes us ALL heroes.
{{ST|Mathias's Father}} Heh. I can live with that.
{{ST|Mathias}} Does that mean I was a hero too?
{{ST|Sharena}} Of course it does!
