Hero's Return - Chapter 1: Silent Homecoming - Episode 4

(Captain) and company meet True Dragon Deirdre, whose core is temporarily housed within the form of a little girl. Deirdre had protected the island from monsters in exchange for a new body created by the royal family, but that agreement was broken by King Connor. Seruel and Heles plan to mend the agreement, but an assassin confronts Heles later that night.



(Captain) and the others follow Heles to the entrance chamber of the former royal castle, now known as the Great Court.
Seruel: Naoise! You've finally returned.
Naoise: Seruel...
Seruel is a crew member

Seruel: And I see (Captain) and the others have come too. Make yourselves at home.
Heles: Save the reunion speeches for later. Naoise, there's someone you have to meet.
???: Humph. I don't expect him to remember anything about me.
Naoise: I don't believe we have met before, my lady. I am Naoise. I was a knight of this kingdom.
???: Humph. You're the only one here who would consider this to be our first meeting.
Naoise: Oh? I'm sorry, but where was it that I made your acquaintance?
Heles: Naoise. This is True Dragon Deirdre.
Lyria: R-really? But no matter how you look at her, she's just an Erune...
Deirdre: That knight destroyed my vessel.
Heles: Deirdre's core was unharmed, but I had to create this temporary vessel using my magic in order to keep it safe.
Vyrn: It's only a temp? Are you going to create a permanent one from the revival ceremony then?
Deirdre: Ooh, that's a good guess, my brethren.
Deirdre: I shed my old vessel once every three hundred years. The jewel imbued with my core is then transferred into a new vessel.
Seruel: It's the rulers of Irestill who lend their magical powers to the creation of this new vessel.
Seruel: In exchange Deirdre casts a watchful eye over Alster Island to ensure monsters don't run rampant.
Heles: During the time of the War, she forged an alliance with Irestill Kingdom to oppose the Astrals.
Heles: Even after the Astrals departed, Deirdre and the royal family entered into a pact to guard against future attacks.
Naoise: Such a pact existed? Not once did King Conner ever mention this.
Heles: My father knew nothing of that promise. Due to various mishaps within the royal line, news of the pact failed to reach him.
Seruel: Deirdre, on behalf of the royals of Irestill, I once again offer my sincerest apologies for our ineptitude.
Deirdre: I'm tired of hearing you two apologize. I don't want to hear any more.
Naoise: Deirdre, I—
Deirdre: Enough. I doubt this conversation will get any livelier. I'm going back inside.
Deirdre heads for her room with a look of boredom.
Naoise: ...
Seruel: Although it was obviously not our intention, we breached our pact with Deirdre in the worst possible way.
Seruel: We never should have thought to vanquish Deirdre.
Heles: But now we must do whatever it takes to restore the pact with her if we are to bring peace to Alster.
Heles: The first thing is to make the necessary arrangements for acquiring a new vessel.
Naoise: In other words we have to right our incomprehensible transgression before anything else.
Seruel: That's correct.
Heles: Thank you for coming so soon after you arrived, but I've already kept you and your skyfarer friends too long for one day.
Heles: There are still things to discuss, but for now you're welcome to stay in the guest rooms.
Vyrn: Whoa! You sure?
Heles: You needn't worry about such things. It would be a hassle to find lodging at this hour. My attendant will show you to your rooms.
Lyria: Thank you so much, Heles!
Thanks to Heles's generosity, (Captain) and company have a place to stay for the night.
The peace is soon shattered.
Lyria: What was that?
Vyrn: No idea, but it sounded close!
Naoise: It came from the direction of Heles's room! We must go check on her, (Captain)!
Heles: Interesting. I seem to have elicited an excellent response from my speech today given how quickly you've been sent after me.
Assassin: Tch... So much for a quick kill.
The assassin once again takes aim at Heles, but the crew arrives before any more shots can be fired.
Naoise: Heles! Are you all right?
Assassin: Damn! Her guards have arrived!
The assassin slips away rather than face overwhelming odds.
Naoise: Stop! You're not getting away!
(Captain) and the others chase the assassin into the night.

Hero's Return - Chapter 1: Silent Homecoming - Episode 4: Scene 2

The assassin slips away from Naoise, but Heles knows who it is and tells the crew not to give chase. They follow her orders and go back to bed, still uneasy about what just happened.



Naoise: Prepare to meet your maker!
Heles: Wait, Naoise.
Naoise: Heles?
Assassin: ...!
Naoise: No! Stop!
The assassin seizes the opportunity to escape.
Heles: There's no need to go after him. I know exactly who he is.
Heles: The fact that they would send someone after me is proof that our plan is working. Having that confirmation is good enough.
Naoise: Heles, what do you mean by that?
Heles responds to Naoise's bewilderment with a fearless smile.
(Captain) and the others grudgingly obey Heles's order to go back to bed.
