Imperial Soldier: Argh! Why you little...

...

Vyrn: Betcha weren't expecting that, huh? You can only dream of matching my pal's sword skills!

Imperial Soldier: Curses... This isn't over!

Vyrn: A friend of his? Stay sharp!

Knight: Lyria! Are you all right?

Mysterious Girl: Katalina! I... I...

Knight: Thank goodness she hasn't been injured. Have you two been protecting her?

Vyrn: I guess you could say that! They were after us too, so we just did what came naturally.

Mysterious Girl: You should have seen it, Katalina! This hero saved me! It was so... heroic!

Knight: Is that so? Well, I'm just glad you're safe.

Vyrn: So, um... Who are you guys exactly?

Vyrn: Doesn't seem like you're friends with those jerks from earlier.

Katalina: Ah, yes, how rude of me. My name is Katalina Aryze.

Katalina: And this is Lyria. I can't thank you enough for saving her.

Katalina: If you don't mind, could you tell me your name as well?

Vyrn: And I'm Vyrn! Where'd you two come from? Were those soldiers after you?

Lyria: W-where? Well, uh...

Katalina: That's right...
We... were being chased.

Katalina: Which is why we need to get out of here before more of them show up, and—

???: Lieutenant Katalina!

???: I do say. Did I give the order for you to stop and smell the roses out here, Lieutenant?

Katalina: C-Captain Pommern! Terribly sorry, sir. I'll return Lyria to the ship immediatel—

Pommern: Enough of these lies! You're the one who spirited her away from the ship, are you not?

Pommern: I do say! To defy the mighty Erste Empire requires profound bravery... and profound stupidity.

Katalina: ...

Pommern: You knew the classified nature of the girl's existence when we placed her in your protection.

Pommern: Which means you must surely be aware of the gravity of your actions, yes?

Pommern: We need that girl to command the primals. To assist in her escape demands a grave punishment indeed!

Katalina: Captain... I simply thought it too dangerous for us to attempt using the power of the primal beasts.

Katalina: The primals are a legacy of the Astrals... Terrifying weapons that set the skies ablaze during the War.

Katalina: There's still much we don't know about them. To wield their power is—

Pommern: Don't change the subject!

Pommern: I do say... I've had quite enough of your insipid drivel. It's time to do what we came here for.

Pommern: Bweheheh... Who will weep for this pathetic backwater burg? No one! We shall destroy it!

Vyrn: Excuse me?

Pommern: I'll rid this place of anyone who opposes us! For I do say, the power to control the primals belongs to the Empire!

Pommern: Release the Hydra!

Imperial Soldier: Sir!

Katalina: The Hydra? It can't be!

Pommern: It can, Lieutenant! And all so that you may take proper responsibility for your actions!

Imperial Soldier: Use the Hydra! Spread out in formation to keep them from running!

Hydra: Groooar!

Vyrn: Where'd this crazy monster come from! Did that beard-twirlin' doofus bring it with him?

Lyria: Katalina!

Katalina: You really intend to burn this island to the ground, don't you?

Katalina: Is that how far the Empire's willing to go to use Lyria's power as their own?

Pommern: I believe we've explained this before, Lieutenant. With her power as a foundation, the Empire will rule the skies.

Pommern: We came to this island to research its primal shrine...

Pommern: But what we found instead was betrayal most foul!

Lyria: Katalina, I'm sorry... This is all because I asked you to take me outside...

Katalina: Lyria, I promised to show you the outside world. And no matter what happens, I'll stand by that promise.

Hydra: Grrr!

(Captain): ...!

Vyrn: Hold on... You're not actually thinking about tangling with that thing!

1. We have to save them!
2. It's now or never!

Choose: We have to save them!
Choose: It's now or never!

Pommern: I do say! It seems none of you are willing to accept reality!

Pommern: Hydra! Dispose of this miserable little moppet!

Pommern: May the tot serve as a fitting example of what happens when you defy the Empire!

Hydra: Groooar!

(Captain): ...!

(Captain): ...

Vyrn: Whoa! (Captain)!
H-hang in there, buddy!

Pommern: Bweheheh! How utterly pitiful!

Katalina: An innocent civilian, and a child at that... Pommern! Just how far have you fallen!

Vyrn: Hey, (Captain)! Stop kidding around! Say something! Anything!

Lyria: Everything's... all right...

Pommern: I do say! What is this light?

Vyrn: Look... The shrine's primal crystal is reacting... What is she doing?

Pommern: Oh ho... We heard the shrine here was special...

Pommern: B-but what in the skies is this?

Lyria: Don't worry now...

Lyria: (Captain)... I bestow my power on you!
