Xenologue 1: Before Awakening

Opening

If the Avatar is female

• Jakob: We have trouble, Lady Avatar.
• Avatar: What's wrong, Jakob?
• Jakob: I was cleaning the castle a moment ago, and I had the feeling I was being watched. I turned and saw some invisible soldiers slipping out of sight!
• Avatar: Wait, you're saying you SAW invisible soldiers?
• Jakob: I... You know what I mean, milady! They weren't completely invisible! Anyway, I threw a dagger the moment I saw them, but they slipped away too quickly.
• Avatar: Did you see which direction they took off in?
• Jakob: Indeed. I tried to follow them, but they stepped through a strange sliver of light. I approached it and looked inside—all I saw were trees. I've never seen such a forest.
• Avatar: A forest on the other side of a gateway of some kind...
• Jakob: Indeed. But it wasn't familiar to me at all. If I'm being honest, it didn't even feel like the same world we're in. I don't know what makes me think that, though. It's just a feeling.
• Avatar: If those soldiers went to that world, the people there may be in danger. We need to chase after them! Do you remember where the gate is?
• Jakob: Of course, milady.

(scene transition)

• Avatar: We safely made it through the gate, but... where are we?
• Jakob: I haven't the foggiest idea...
• Avatar: Hmmm... What are we going to do now? Oh, it looks like there's a sign over there. It's legible, too! Halidom of... Ylisse?
• Chrom: Hey, do you need any help?
• Avatar: Yikes!
• Chrom: Forgive me—did I startle you? You look a bit lost.
• Frederick: Milord. I don't believe I've ever seen these people before.
• Lissa: Oh! Travelers, then? That would explain the strange clothes you're wearing.
• Avatar: Um, sorry, but who are you?
• Chrom: Ah, I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Chrom. I'm captain of the Shepherds. The delicate one here is my little sister, Lissa.
• Lissa: Delicate?! I am NOT... Grrrrr. Ignore my brother, please. He can be a bit thick sometimes.
• Chrom: Ehem. Over here is my knight, Frederick.
• Frederick: I serve as his aide and second-in-command.
• Avatar: I see. It's nice to meet you. My name is Avatar. With me is Jakob.
• Jakob: Pleased to be of service.
• Chrom: It's a pleasure to meet both of you. So tell me, Avatar, what brings you through this area today?
• Avatar: The truth is, we were in pursuit of a group... Have you noticed anything strange happening lately? Maybe seen some warriors, nearly invisible?
• Chrom: I'm sorry—did you say invisible warriors?
• Frederick: Our halidom has been invaded?! They could be from neighboring Plegia...
• Jakob: That won't do, Lady Avatar. This must be another world! We should do our best not to confuse or panic them, if we can avoid it.
• Avatar: Oh right! Um... did I say invisible warriors? I meant invisible... invisible... warthogs! Our prized invisible warthogs got loose!
• Jakob: You could really improve your improvising, milady.
• Chrom: Warthogs? Invisible ones?
• Avatar: Yes, they are a very dangerous type of beast from our homeland. They're... um... excellent guard animals, but if left alone, they can cause a lot of trouble.
• Jakob: These vicious beasts have been known to destroy towns and villages, as well. I cannot stress enough how dangerous they are.
• Chrom: These creatures sound awful!
• Avatar: It's best to run away if you spot one. If it's too close, hold nothing back when you fight them!
• Chrom: Really? Aren't these your beasts?
• Avatar: It's not important! It matters more to us that no on gets hurt in their rampage! We've... um... traveled very far to make sure everyone stays safe.
• Chrom: A-all right...
• Frederick: I have to say, I find your behavior very suspicious. What are you up to? This story sounds unlikely, at best. And just a moment ago, Jakob referred to you as Lady. Perhaps you would be so kind as to explain why you have such a title?
• Avatar: Well...
• Jakob: (If she tries to improvise again, we're all doomed.) You have some nerve suggesting even the slightest of ill intentions! My Lady Avatar is a princess. She deserves the utmost respect.
• Frederick: I beg your pardon?!
• Lissa: What? You're a princess, Avatar?!
• Jakob: Yes, she is!
• Avatar: Jakob...
• Chrom: This is... surprising. However, it's only right that I tell you, then. I am a prince.
• Avatar: You are?
• Boy: AHHHHHHH!!!
• Avatar: Was that a scream?!
• Jakob: I think it came from over there!
• Avatar: Let's go, Jakob! It might be the warriors! I man warthogs! Let's go!
• Jakob: *sigh* As you wish...
• Lissa: Ah! Avatar?!
• Chrom: We're going too! Lissa, Frederick, follow me!
• Frederick: Of course!

(transition to battle map)

• Avatar: It is them!
• Jakob: Leave everything to me, milady. I shall eliminate them properly.
• Chrom: Wait, Avatar! We'll join you!
• Avatar: Chrom?! I don't want to involve you three in our troubles!
• Chrom: It is our duty as defenders of this land to help whenever it's threatened. We'll aid you!
• Avatar: Chrom... Thank you. Let's work together to end their rampage!
• Chrom: OK!

If the Avatar is male

• Felicia: We may have trouble, Lord Avatar!
• Avatar: What's wrong, Felicia?
• Felicia: Well, I was just cleaning up a part of the castle, minding my own business... I saw movement in the corner of my eye—I think I saw some invisible soldiers!
• Avatar: Hang on... You SAW invisible soldiers?
• Felicia: Y-yes! I mean, they weren't completely invisible. You know what I mean, milord! Anyway, I screamed when I saw them, and they ran off.
• Avatar: Did you see which direction they ran in?
• Felicia: I did! I tried to follow them, but then they went through a sliver of light... a gateway. I peered inside, but all I could see were trees. I've never seen a forest like it.
• Avatar: A forest through a gateway of some kind...
• Felicia: It didn't feel like any place we've been to. It felt like another world entirely.
• Avatar: If those soldiers went to that world, the people there may be in danger. We need to chase after them! Do you remember where the gate is?
• Felicia: Yes! Follow me!

(scene transition)

• Avatar: We safely made it through the gate, but... where are we?
• Felicia: I haven't a clue.
• Avatar: Hmmm... What are we going to do now? Oh, it looks like there's a sign over there. It's legible, too! Halidom of... Ylisse?
• Chrom: Hey, do you need any help?
• Avatar: Yikes!
• Chrom: Forgive me—did I startle you? You look a bit lost.
• Frederick: Milord. I don't believe I've ever seen these people before.
• Lissa: Oh! Travelers, then? That would explain the strange clothes you're wearing.

• Frederick: I serve as his aide and second-in-command.
• Avatar: I see. It's nice to meet you. My name is Avatar. With me is Felicia.
• Felicia: It's nice to make your acquaintance.
• Chrom: It's a pleasure to meet both of you. So tell me, Avatar, what brings you through this area today?
• Avatar: The truth is, we were in pursuit of a group... Have you noticed anything strange happening lately? Maybe seen some warriors, nearly invisible?

• Felicia: Lord Avatar, remember! This must be another world! We should do our best not to confuse or panic them, if we can avoid it.
• Avatar: Oh right! Um... did I say invisible warriors? I meant invisible... invisible... warthogs! Our prized invisible warthogs got loose!
• Felicia: You're not very good at improvising, milord.
• Chrom: Warthogs? Invisible ones?
• Avatar: Yes, they are a very dangerous type of beast from our homeland. They're... um... excellent guard animals, but if left alone, they can cause a lot of trouble.
• Felicia: They can even destroy towns! They are very, very dangerous! Think of the worst wild animal you can—these are much worse!
• Chrom: These creatures sound awful!
• Avatar: It's best to run away if you spot one. If it's too close, hold nothing back when you fight them!
• Chrom: Really? Aren't these your beasts?
• Avatar: It's not important! It matters more to us that no on gets hurt in their rampage! We've... um... traveled very far to make sure everyone stays safe.

• Avatar: Well...
• Felicia: (If he tries to improvise again, we're all doomed.) That's because milord Avatar is a prince!
• Frederick: I beg your pardon?!
• Lissa: What? You're a prince?!
• Felicia: Yes, he is!
• Avatar: Felicia...
• Chrom: This is... surprising. However, it's only right that I tell you, then. I am a prince as well.

• Lissa: Ah! Avatar?!
• Chrom: We're going too! Lissa, Frederick, follow me!
• Frederick: Of course!

(transition to battle map)

• Avatar: It is them!
• Felicia: I'm so glad we found them!
• Chrom: Wait, Avatar! We'll join you!
• Avatar: Chrom?! I don't want to involve you three in our troubles!
• Chrom: It is our duty as defenders of this land to help whenever it's threatened. We'll aid you!
• Avatar: Chrom... Thank you. Let's word together to end their rampage!
• Chrom: OK!

Battle Begins

Pre-Battle Quotes

“Strange beasts indeed... I can sense something is in front of me, but I can hardly see it. Prepare yourself, creature! I will not permit you to threaten this land!”
—Chrom's pre-battle quote

“I've never encountered anything like these creatures before! Oddly, they seem more human than animal, though... No matter--I will not let you harm my Lord or my Lady. Exalt Emmeryn would never forgive me if something happened to them!”
—Frederick's pre-battle quote

“Is this one of those strange creatures Avatar was talking about?! I can't see it very well, and Avatar said it was very dangerous... Won't you please leave me alone? I can't hurt you!”
—Lissa's pre-battle quote

Battle Conversations

Avatar and Chrom

• Avatar: Thank you for supporting us, Chrom. It's encouraging to have allies here.
• Chrom: I should be thanking you for warning us about this danger. Avatar... Can I ask you something? You're a Prince/Princess, correct?
• Avatar: More or less.
• Chrom: As I mentioned before, I am royalty as well.
• Avatar: Really? I wasn't sure I'd heard you correctly earlier.
• Chrom: I'm part of the Halidom of Ylisse.
• Avatar: But...isn't it dangerous for you to be out doing patrols?
• Chrom: Perhaps, but no more dangerous than you chasing beasts in an unfamiliar forest.
• Avatar: Hah, fair enough.
• Chrom: Speaking of unfamiliar...where do you come from, Avatar? I know royal families from many neighboring kingdoms, but I've never heard of you.
• Avatar: I doubt you've heard of my lands, actually... Hoshido and Nohr aren't likely to appear on your maps...
• Chrom: Did you say Hoshido and Nohr? The mythical kingdoms?
• Avatar: Mythical?
• Chrom: I doubt there are many people who haven't heard a story about Hoshido and Nohr.
• Avatar: I don't... I'm not sure how to respond.
• Chrom: You don't have to explain things to me if you'd rather not. I won't pry into your affairs. After all, we're going to have to trust each other if we're going to get through this.
• Avatar: He's trusting... Most people wouldn't accept a claim of royal heritage without proof. He and I share a faith in others, I guess. But what did he mean when he called Hoshido and Nohr mythical kingdoms? Where are we?

Avatar and Frederick

• Frederick: Hm... I wonder...
• Avatar: Frederick, was it? Did you need something?
• Frederick: Avatar, are you truly royalty?
• Avatar: I am, yes.
• Frederick: I see. Would you mind if I asked you to show me something to prove your lineage?
• Avatar: You want proof?! I don't think I've ever been asked that before...
• Frederick: Anything will do. You could share the names of key people in your kingdom... If you have a brand proving you are royalty, you could show me that as well.
• Avatar: A brand? I don't have one... I don't really think I can name key people, either...
• Frederick: If that is the case, I'd ask that you please avoid contact with milord and milady.
• Avatar: E-excuse me?
• Frederick: Keep at least 10 spears of distance between you and them at all times. It can be difficult to keep track in the heat of battle, but try to hold to that limit.
• Avatar: You want me to stay that far away in the middle of a fight?! That's crazy!
• Frederick: You should consider yourself lucky I'm only imposing 10. I could have said 20! I simply can't allow a complete stranger to compromise their safety!
• Avatar: Ugh, I know you don't know me, but I think you're taking this too far! Maybe I can give you something as a sign of friendship? I have some delicious jerky...
• Frederick: Jerky? Not a good start... Pray tell, what beast is this jerky made from?
• Avatar: It's bear meat!
• Frederick: AHHHHHHHH! No! Never! Get it away!!
• Avatar: Wha— Hey! Where are you going?! Man, he really hates me. All I want is to be friends...

Avatar and Lissa

• Avatar: How are you holding up, Lissa? I'm sorry you got pulled into this mess.
• Lissa: Don't worry about me! I'm just fine. I'm grateful to have this opportunity to fight side by side with someone like you. We don't have anyone in the Shepherds, besides my brother, who can lead like you.
• Avatar: Hahaha... You flatter me.
• Lissa: Hey, I really mean it! Say, Avatar. When we're done here, it'd be great if you joined us!
• Avatar: I appreciate the offer, Lissa, but I have some important things waiting back home.
• Lissa: I'm not surprised. Sorry for putting you on the spot like that. You are a prince/princess after all. I'm sure you're busy running your kingdom and stuff.
• Avatar: Something like that... Thanks for inviting me, though. If fate had brought us together at another time, I could see myself joining your group.
• Lissa: Avatar...
• Avatar: Never fear, though! I'm sure you'll meet many new people on your adventures.
• Lissa: You really think so?
• Avatar: I do.
• Lissa: Well, if you say so, then I have a feeling it just might happen! Thanks, Avatar!

Jakob and Frederick

• Jakob: Hey, jerk. What's the big idea?!
• Frederick: Are you talking to me? What have I done to earn such rudeness from you?
• Jakob: Huh? You're the one being rude! You keep looking at Lord/Lady Avatar like he's/she's up to no good!
• Frederick: I am only doing my duty in protecting milord from any kind of harm. It is only natural to be suspicious of a person I have never met. As a royal knight, I cannot afford to simply react to danger. I must anticipate and stop a situation before it can become dangerous.
• Jakob: What you say makes sense, though I resent you seeing Lord/Lady Avatar as a threat. So long as we are being honest...I've been wondering if your "liege" is really a brigand.
• Frederick: What?! You dare insult milord? Does your tongue know no bounds?
• Jakob: You should not be so concerned with how I handle myself! Do we need to resolve this with more than just words?
• Frederick: Hah, surely you jest. I would never take part in such shameful behavior here. I mustn't lose my head in a sign of devotion. After all, it would be no contest—none can rival my devotion as a retainer.
• Jakob: You seem to be mistaken yet again. I am far more devoted than you could ever be. For example, I've created a custom blend of tea exclusively for my lord/lady.
• Frederick: Ha! That's nothing. The needs of my liege are never, ever far from my mind. When milord decides to travel, I travel ahead and clear any obstacle. Not even the smallest pebble shall trouble milord.
• Jakob: All through the night, I make sure that my lord's/lady's rooms are the ideal temperature. Too cold and I add another log to the fire. Too hot and I will quietly crack a window. I do this every night.
• Frederick: Hah, you still do that? I overcame the need to monitor milord's room years ago. I did so by engineering windows that would crack themselves if a room grew too warm. I also personally chop the logs used in Chrom's fire. The size is never insufficient in providing warmth. They are also pleasing to the eye.
• Jakob: ...
• Frederick: ...
• Jakob: That's a really good idea, actually.
• Frederick: Thank you. That's kind of you to say.
• Jakob: I'm not sure how I feel about your liege yet, but I think we'll get along fine.
• Frederick: I also feel a sort of kinship with you now. You are the first person I've met that I can call my equal. If this wasn't a battlefield, I'd be compelled to continue this conversation.

Odin and Lissa

• Odin: *pant...pant...* I've managed to avoid Uncle Chrom so far. If I can make it through this battle... Of course I can! Why would I doubt myself? A chosen warrior can be like a shadow when he needs to be. But really, what are the odds we'd end up here, of all places?! It seems the big conflict hasn't begun yet, but I should still avoid family at all--!
• Lissa: Hey! Are you all right?
• Odin: GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! Mot—Er, Lissa?!
• Lissa: Huh? How do you know my name?
• Odin: Um... That's because I...heard it before! I mean just now! From Avatar!
• Lissa: Oh! OK! I'm glad you're all right. I saw you talking to yourself, and I thought maybe you'd been injured. What's your name?
• Odin: I am...Odin Dark.
• Lissa: Odin, huh? Nice to meet you, Odin!
• Odin: It's glorious to meet you, too! (It's hard to believe that she's going to be my mother someday.)
• Lissa: Is something wrong? You keep staring at me...
• Odin: Oh no, it's nothing! I'm going to get back to fighting now, though! The enemy will wait for no one!
• Lissa: Awww, he left. There's something interesting about him. What a neat name, though. It sounds like one an amazing hero would have! If I ever have a son, I'll have to give him a name like that, too!

Laslow and Chrom

• Laslow: I know it isn't the same time as when I left, but it still feels so good to be back. So good in fact, it makes me want to dance one of my mother's dances! La la la...
• Chrom: You're quite an excellent dancer.
• Laslow: What the---?! Ah, hello, Chr--- Err, I mean... You're Chrom, right?
• Chrom: Indeed I am. Who are you?
• Laslow: My names's... Laslow.
• Chrom: Laslow, huh? It's not often we see such a skilled dancer around here.
• Laslow: It's a hobby, really. I wouldn't call myself a professional by any means.
• Chrom: Really? But you're so graceful.
• Laslow: Thank you very much! I get embarrassed easily, and I don't want to be remembered... by you...
• Chrom: That's... a bit strange. But I can respect it if you want me to leave. I apologize for bothering you.
• Laslow: Oh, wait! Can I ask you one thing before you go?
• Chrom: What's that?
• Laslow: If you meet a woman one day... One who dances like me, maybe... If you meet her, could you tell her that she's an inspiration to me? Please? And that I wish all the happiness in the world for her and her family?
• Chrom: I... suppose I can do that, as strange as such a request is. You actually think I'll meet such a woman?
• Laslow: I'd bet my life savings that you will.
• Chrom: That's some confidence. All right, I promise. But in return, promise me you won't give up on your dancing and that someday... you'll come back here to entertain us all.
• Laslow: I promise.

Selena and Chrom

• Selena: Huh?! Is that... Chrom?! I need to hide!
• Chrom: What in the world are you doing in those bushes?! You're... Are you one of Avatar's allies?
• Selena: Huh? You don't recognize me? I mean, um... Hello! We haven't met yet! I guess. I hope. I don't see her here, so that's a good sign at least.
• Chrom: Who are you talking about?
• Selena: A certain red-haired pegasus knight in your service.
• Chrom: Ah, you mean Cordelia? She's one of my castle knights, that's true, though I wouldn't say she's in my service.
• Selena: Ah, so she hasn't joined you yet. I see.
• Chrom: Are you a friend of Cordelia?
• Selena: Oh no, I'm her... What I meant to say is, we're not acquainted yet. I've just heard about her from... people. ...Say, when you see her, can you tell her something for me? Tell her you met a girl named Selena who swears to surpass her someday.
• Chrom: O...K.
• Selena: Don't give me that. I'm counting on you to pass on my message. Listen, it's important. You have to be the one who tells her. Maybe over a cup of tea. Alone. Just the two of you. She hides it well, but she needs you to be the one to help her!
• Chrom: I... see... I'll try to do what I can for her.
• Selena: Good. That settles that then.
• Chrom exits
• Selena: I hope you like my present for you, Mom. Enjoy your time together with Lord Chrom. You'll forgive me for this, right, Daddy? Don't worry---no matter what happens, I know she'll choose you in the end

Caeldori and Chrom

• Chrom: Hm? Cordelia, what are you doing here?
• Caeldori: Are you talking to me? I'm sorry, but you have the wrong person. My name is Caeldori.
• Chrom: O-oh... You're the splitting image of a pegasus knight I know. My apologies.
• Caeldori: Please, don't give it a second thought. You're Chrom, correct? I heard your name a moment ago. It seems Fate has brought us together, so let's cooperate to defeat our foes.
• Chrom: Sounds good to me.
• Caeldori: I didn't expect him to talk to me all of the sudden like that. I have to admit though.. He does seem rather charming.

Ophelia and Lissa

• Lissa: Hey! Hey, you! Are you hurt?
• Ophelia: Hm? No, I'm fine. Even if I were injured, a capable warrior such as myself wouldn't - Woah! Just who are you?!
• Lissa: Excuse me?
• Ophelia: You're...you're amazing! You have an aura that absolutely screams "chosen one!" It's like you're all...sparkles...and pow!
• Lissa: Sparkles and pow?
• Ophelia: Yeah!
• Lissa: Hahah, I like the way you talk!
• Ophelia: You understand me with ease? Do the wonders never cease with you?! Oooh, I feel so fired up! This is like when I realized my mark proved I was chosen!
• Lissa: A mark? What, like a bruise? You said you weren't hurt!
• Ophelia: No, not like a bruise, it's more... Hrm (I have this strange feeling...like I shouldn't say more about my mark...) Actually, it is a bruise. A small one that you needn't worry about!
• Lissa: If you say so... Just be sure to tell me if you get seriously hurt, OK? I can help! I'm Lissa, by the way! What's your name?
• Ophelia: Ophelia Dusk, at your service!
• Lissa: What an amazing name! I feel like the two of us could be best of friends!
• Ophelia: Friends?
• Lissa: Sure! You don't think I'm being too presumptuous, do you?
• Ophelia: Heavens and stars, no! I'd be honored to be friends with someone special like you. However, we probably should return to the noble task of defeating the enemy...
• Lissa: As, you're right! Let's talk later then!
• Ophelia: So there are people like the chosen ones in other worlds, too. I think we'd grow into fast friends if we met again someday.

• Frederick: Yes. I collect them from milord and milady's path so they don't trip. I have a strange feeling that this one may help you in some way.
• Avatar: Um... Thanks... I'll... find a way to use it...
• Jakob: Lady Avatar, I believe it would be in out best interest to head home.
• Avatar: All right. It was nice meeting you, Chrom, Lissa, and you as well, Frederick.
• Chrom: If you get the chance, come visit us again sometime. I'd like to talk more about our respective kingdoms.
• Avatar: I'm sure if you wish it, we'll meet again someday. Just hold fast to your beliefs.
• Chrom: I will. I'll look forward to the day our paths cross again.
• Avatar: Thanks, Chrom. I hope to spend time together again someday as well.

If the Avatar is male

• Avatar: All right, I think that's the last of them.
• Chrom: I owe you, Avatar. You and your allies have my gratitude.
• Avatar: We were the ones that got you involved in this whole mess. Think nothing of it. Really, I'm sorry for putting you and the people here in harm's way. We'll do our best to prevent this from happening again.
• Felicia: I wish we could say it'll never happen again, but we can't make that kind of promise.
• Avatar: Unfortunately this is true...
• Chrom: Avatar... Things must be rough back in your kingdom.
• Frederick: Hmph, if only we could offer you something that could help you in this time of need. Perhaps you'd be interested in this?
• Avatar: Is... Are you giving me a pebble?
• Frederick: Yes. I collect them from milord and milady's path so they don't trip. I have a strange feeling that this one may help you in some way.
• Avatar: Um... Thanks... I'll... find a way to use it...
• Felicia: Lord Avatar, we should start heading home.
• Avatar: All right. It was nice meeting you, Chrom, Lissa, and you as well, Frederick.
• Chrom: If you get the chance, come visit us again sometime. I'd like to talk more about our respective kingdoms.
• Avatar: I'm sure if you wish it, we'll meet again someday. Just hold fast to your beliefs.
• Chrom: I will. I'll look forward to the day our paths cross again.
• Avatar: Thanks, Chrom. I hope to spend time together again someday as well.

After receiving the item(s)

• Lissa: And there they go. They were pretty interesting people, weren't they?
• Chrom: Indeed. I have a feeling we might see them again sometime.
• Lissa: I was thinking the same thing! Avatar was a very talented leader, you know. I was really impressed by the different battle tactics he used.
• Chrom: The Shepherds could really benefit from a talented tactician like that. Unfortunately, battle strategy is not my strength.
• Lissa: Yeah, you're much more brawn before brains.
• Chrom: I wouldn't go that far...
• Frederick: Pardon me, milord, milady, but I believe we should get on our way. We must make headway farther south before the sun falls.
• Chrom: Sorry, let's get going. Hmm? It looks like someone's fainted up ahead!
• Frederick: What?!
• Lissa: Huh? You're right!! What should we do?!
• Chrom: We need to offer our help! Hrm. Definitely not dead at least. Why would anyone lay down out here... I've never seen clothes like these before. Where could--

• Lissa: Chrom... we have to do something.
• Chrom: What do you propose we do?
• Lissa: I... I dunno... Ah!
• Chrom: I see you're awake now.
• Lissa: Hey there!
• Chrom: There're better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know. Give me your hand.
