“Eliwood’s father is missing, for goodness’ sake! We know that Marquess Laus is connected in some way. I say we use Ostia’s might to end this mystery and find the truth!”
“Oh, I see. So this is who directed the battle plan back there, hm? You know, Mark, you’re very young. We’ve many strategists in Ostia, but none so young. Eliwood, are you sure about this one?”
“There was this man–a giant with a great beard–carrying a girl on his shoulders. The girl called to him “Father”, and she was smiling, happy. Then the father said to her, “Yes, my beloved daughter?” That’s all, really. But it felt as though… It felt like a long-past memory. The man looked a bit like my own father, I suppose. But who is the little girl? Aye, she was a cute one.”

“You’re not having the greatest run of luck either. I’ll wager you never thought things would turn into such a terrible mess, did you? …If it gets to be too much, you can leave at any time. You’re a reliable and dependable tactician, but… You’re not our servant, you know? If you think our task impossible, you should get out. You’re as smart as they come. I know you don’t need me to tell you that.”
“What happened in the past, what reasons drive you… None of these matter!! I have no compassion or pity for you whatsoever! The crimes you’ve committed are unforgivable. I care not for your excuses. Prepare yourself, Nergal! With these hands, I shall end your crimes today!!”
“I sealed Armads away, like it used to be, but… I can still feel its power pulsing inside me. War is coming. Someday, a terrible war… When that day comes… I want you to be there when that day comes. I want you to guide my children and me.”
