III. Introduction
=======================================
I'm a huge fan of Odin Sphere and noticed the lack of a game
script on GameFAQs. Seeing as I was late to the fun (say, a
year), I assumed a script would be up by now; I stand corrected.
I'll confess and say I find it hard to hate a 2D console game
(handheld titles could be argued), thus I am often less critical
against them. Upon finding this game, I desperately wanted to
play it as soon as it released. However the lack of stores
carrying it in my area made it hard to do that, thus I eventually
forgot of this game's existance.
That is, until a friend-of-a-friend gave away his copy out of
disinterest for the game. For a used copy, it's still in solid
good condition. :)
So... I'm taking it upon myself to introduce a script for this
wonderful game that was missed by the masses. I hope you enjoy
it, too!
Thank you and enjoy this script!
=======================================
IV. Notes
=======================================
- The script is fashioned as below:
Gwendolyn: "Hello."
Cornelius: "How are you? I am fine, thank you."
Mercedes: (I am expressing my thoughts in this line. Get me a taco.)
[Silly commentaries are to denote the characters doing something in brackets]
- I am aware the chapters are divided into acts, but I am keeping them
with their designated chapter to keep the script a bit more neat.
- Lines that expand into a new window, but are still attached to the previous
window will be kept as one line altogether.
- I do not regard any merchant's dialogue, as it's nothing remotely worth
noting, in my opinion. However, if you feel it should be included, feel
free to inform me and I'll do my best to obtain the dialogue as fast as
possible.
- Armageddon is divided into two sections: One that is the true ending, and
the other contains all the false scenes and the false ending. This is to
prevent Armageddon from becoming too cluttered.
- I do not list acts for gameplay, those including bosses. Therefore if
you see an act skipped, it is indeed gameplay/bosses. This applies to all
odd-numbered acts. Even numbers consist of actual dialogue.
- There may be a few exceptions for odd-numbered acts, such as chapter 6 in
Fairy Land, and prelude chapters.

V. Game Script
=======================================
V.1. Valkyrie               (VALK)
----------------------------------
The soul shines proudly
after falling in battle
The birds have a belief:
The is the only method
of earning an immortal soul
----------------------------------
1.0 Valkyrie: Prelude  ......  VA0
----------------------------------
Valkyrie - Prelude - Act 1
Storming Battlefields
----------------------------------
Gwendolyn: "Griselda..."
Griselda: "Gwendolyn..."
Griselda: "It's so... quiet now... The sound of battle... seems so far away."
Griselda: "It seems I cannot follow my King into the battle."
Gwendolyn: "No... Don't give up..."
Griselda: "Gwendolyn, please take this. I have no use for it now."
Griselda: "This spear has slain many foes, making a mountain of corpses..."
[She hands Gwen the spiffy-looking spear]
Griselda: "The King... Father will undoubtedly praise my actions."
Gwendolyn: "I'm sure he will..."
Griselda: "...Do I see tears in your eyes? You're too kind, sister..."
Griselda: "Please, do not cry... Your older sister will leave the world as a
great warrior."
Griselda: "...'Tis so dark here..."
Griselda: "Gwendolyn... I can't see you..."
[First death in the game, woo... wait, that's not good]
Gwendolyn: "Aah..."
Gwendolyn: "Griselda... I won't let you be alone for long. I shall be by your
side soon enough."
[Losing a war sucks, evidently]
Dwarf: "We have lost this battle. There are simply too many enemies."
[Shadow Knight enters the fray]
Dwarf: "So that is the Shadow Knight!"
Dwarf: "Rumor has it he's made a deal with Halja to acquire such strength!
What power...!"
Gwendolyn: "I will face him!"
Dwarf: "Princess!? You shall not!"
[Gwen and Oswald face-off; he soon has her pinned down but hesistates to kill]
Oswald: "...!"
Gwendolyn: "Kill me now... How long do you intend to keep me pinned down?"
Oswald: "..."
[Oswald kills a Berserker approaching them]
Oswald: "Go on. Run away. This battle is over. Any more deaths will just be a
waste."
[Aaand he splits]
Dwarf: "Ooh, I'm glad to see you're safe. I had feared you were..."
Gwendolyn: "At this point... I cannot go back..."
Dwarf: "Princess, wait! But... what good are troops that have lost their
leader?"
----------------------------------
Valkyrie - Prelude - Act 3
Demon Lord's Throne
----------------------------------
Odin: "Gwendolyn... you've returned."
Gwendolyn: "I have an announcement, Your Majesty."
Gwendolyn: "Regarding the invasion... our troops have been lost."
Gwendolyn: "The foes had more reinforcements tha we had anticipated."
Gwendolyn: "We were forced to enter a battle of attrition."
Gwendolyn: "The Valkyries suffered many casualties... including
Griselda, our commander."
Odin: "I know of Griselda's fate."
Gwendolyn: "Griselda fought bravely for you to the very end..."
Gwendolyn: "She entrusted me with this spear in her final moments."
Odin: "She was the most gallant and noble of all my warriors."
Odin: "That spear is a special weapon known as a Psypher."
Odin: "It collects spirits that haunt the battlefields and uses their power to
smite enemies."
Odin: "Henceforth, you shall wield the spear as you please..."
[Odin rises from his throne and proceeds to the doorway]
Odin: "We shall launch another assault on the enemy. I shall personally take
part in this battle. Send the troops when you're prepared."
Gwendolyn: "Father... Is that all you have to say about Griselda!?"
Odin: "Words will not bring your sister back."
Gwendolyn: "..."
Odin: "'Tis no time for sentimentality."
----------------------------------
1.1 Valkyrie: Chapter 1 ...... VA1
----------------------------------
Valkyrie - Chapter 1 - Act 2
Demon Lord's Castle
----------------------------------
Gwendolyn: "We're moving out, now! Inform the troops."
[Gwendolyn goes over her thoughts of her sister's death until...]
Gwendolyn: "Griselda..."
Bird: "So you're going to battle in order to win your father's love."
Gwendolyn: "That's not true. I'm fighting for my kingdom and my own pride."
Gwendolyn: "If I fall in battle... that is a fate all my countrymen must
face."
Bird: "Don't try to hide the truth from me."
Bird: "You seek death, so that you may earn the love you so desperately
seek."
[She takes a swipe at the bird, but fails]
Gwendolyn: "Quiet!"
Bird: "I am but a phantom... I represent your innermost thoughts."
Bird: "'I am pathetic. I've never been loved since the day I was born.'"
Bird: "Giving your life for your father will not make your death worthwhile.
You will simply die, like Griselda died."
[Get into the fetal position, and...]
Gwendolyn: "Stop it...!"
Gwendolyn: "If I sacrifice myself for my duty, Father will surely show his
love for me."
Gwendolyn: "Surely..."
----------------------------------
Valkyrie - Chapter 1 - Act 4
Vanrir Forward Headquarters
----------------------------------
Paladin: "I have a report, Your Highness!"
Paladin: "The Aesir have launched an all-out assault. They are attacking our
headquarters with all their soldiers!"
Paladin: "The Paladins fight valiantly, but 'tis only a matter of time 'til
they are overrun!"
Elfaria: "Odin... I see he risks his own life with this strategy of his..."
Elfaria: "Here are your orders. Quickly! Call back the troops from the front
line and attack them from behind."
Elfaria: "Use everything we have. Attack from both sides and annihilate them!"
[Our Valkyrie-protagonist rides into the scene]
Gwendolyn: "Our King is bestowed with divine grace. Prepare yourself, Queen of
the Ghosts."
Gwendolyn: "I, King Odin's daughter, Gwendolyn, shall be the one to take your
life."
Elfaria: "So, you call me a ghost... The Demon Lord's daughter is
bold, indeed."
Elfaria: "Hahaha... It seems my reinforcements have arrived."
[Poof!]
Elfaria: "It's about time, Sorcerer."
Beldor: "Your Majesty, my sincerest apologies for my tardiness.
Come, Belial, my faithful dragon..."
Elfaria: "Let us put this to the test. Do you still dare to speak so
impudently before my mighty dragon?"
----------------------------------
Valkyrie - Chapter 1 - Act 6
The Cauldron
----------------------------------
Valkyrie: "King Odin, please rejoice. The enemies are retreating."
Odin: "It seems that it is finally over..."
Odin: "Have Brigan's troops hunt down any remaining enemy forces."
Odin: "Go inform all our soldiers of our victory."
Odin: "Sound the horn and allow them to celebrate our glory. Now leave me."
Dwarf: "King Odin..."
Odin: "Yes... There it is. The Crystallization Cauldron..."
Odin: "The fairies have kept it hidden for so long..."
Odin: "Ooh..."
Odin: "Do you see this mysterious light? Now it is finally mine."
Odin: "This power will grant me victory in any battle."
[The Cauldron decides to take a nap... sort of...]
Odin: "What's happening!?"
Dwarf: "O-Oh no... What happened to the glow? The Cauldron's light has gone
out."
[Gwendolyn is on the search for her father on the battlefield.]
Gwendolyn: Do you know where my father... Where I may find the King?"
Valkyrie: "The King is with the Crystallization Cauldron."
Gwendolyn: "What!?"
[Scantily-dressed Forest Witch enters the scene]
Gwendolyn: "Who goes there? What are you doing here?"
Velvet: "These stupid battles, all over again... The Cauldron is a source
of disaster."
Velvet: "I will not allow the Crystallization Cauldron to be used any
further."
Velvet: "Not by you... nor by the Queen of the Fairies..."
[She splits]
Gwendolyn: "Wait!"
----------------------------------
1.2 Valkyrie: Chapter 2 ...... VA2
----------------------------------
Valkyrie - Chapter 2 - Act 2
Demon Lord's Castle
----------------------------------
Brigan: "Do you understand how much we sacrificed here!?"
Brigan: "If it was all for some hunk of scrap iron, it is a disgrace to the
dead!"
Brigan: "I'll catch that Witch and make her spill her guts about that
Cauldron."
Brigan: "If she plays dumb, her head will fly."
[Eggman marches off]
Odin: "Someone, stop that fool before he leaves."
Odin: "No, he cannot be serious about opposing me."
Odin: "I shall find the Witch. Gwendolyn, I shall leave the rest to you."
Gwendolyn: "Father, please wait... A king cannot idly abandon his own castle."
Gwendolyn: "If I had not let the witch go, this would not have happened."
Gwendolyn: "Allow me to redeem myself. I shall capture the Witch."
Odin: "Gwendolyn, wait..."
Gwendolyn: "Yes, Father?"
Odin: "Heed my words. Do not cause undue harm to the Witch. She's..."
Odin: "Well, she's... She is special. Be respectful."
Gwendolyn: "..."
Gwendolyn: "As you wish, Your Majesty..."
----------------------------------
Valkyrie - Chapter 2 - Act 4
The Forest Lagoon
----------------------------------
Gwendolyn: "I will not let you escape this time."
Velvet: "You'll never get your wish, Valkyrie. Confront me all you want, but
you cannot change my resolve."
Velvet: "Go back and inform the Demon Lord. I will not listen to your pleas."
Gwendolyn: "You have no choice in the matter."
Gwendolyn: "If you insist that you will not repair the Cauldron..."
Velvet: "That evil spear and my chain are both Psyphers. If we battle, it will
be a serious affair."
Gwendolyn: "You're hesitating... Bluffing will only get you so far. If you
value your life, obey the King."
Velvet: "You ignorant fool. You cut short your own life by meddling in my
affairs."
Velvet: "Using the Crystallization Cauldron will doom the entire world."
Velvet: "That accursed Cauldron served as a trigger... to the horror that
befell my native country of Valentine."
Velvet: "It is the cataclysm's womb... And it should not exist."
Gwendolyn: "The great magical country of Valentine is said to have been
destroyed overnight. I am aware of the story that you describe."
Gwendolyn: "The Valentine Prophecies say the world will be destroyed by five
disasters."
Gwendolyn: "One of those five involves a furnace that spews despair."
Gwendolyn: "You say that line refers to the Crystallization Cauldron?"
Gwendolyn: "'Tis but a rumor from a ruined land."
Velvet: "War will spread across the world... The winning country will rule
over the entire land."
Velvet: "Your country's ambition is merely a convenient lie for the Demon
Lord."
Gwendolyn: "Do you imply that my King is deceiving everyone? I will not hear
this mockery."
Gwendolyn: "Stop this nonsense. I shall take your life, if I must..."
----------------------------------
Valkyrie - Chapter 2 - Act 6
Forest of Elrit
----------------------------------
Odin: "Wait! Both of you, cease fighting!"
Gwendolyn: "Father! Why are you here?"
Odin: "I had a premonition of something like this, so I came here."
Velvet: "Odin..."
Odin: "I cannot allow you hurt one another."
Odin: "Gwendolyn, step away. Do not interrupt what I have to say."
Odin: "Velvet... You look so much like your mother."
Velvet: "..."
Odin: "My dear daughter... Why are you acting against me?"
Gwendolyn: "...Daughter!?"
Velvet: "Do not call me your daughter. Do you think I am a fool?"
Velvet: "While the nations of Velvet and Ragnanival were at war,"
Velvet: "you disguised yourself and seduced my mother, the princess, with
sweet words."
Velvet: "And you were quick to flee when she became pregnant."
Velvet: "Because my mother gave birth to an enemy's child, she was executed
for loving you."
Velvet: "It is the same as if you had killed her yourself."
Odin: "That is not true, my child. We did not know each other's real
names, nor our ranks."
Odin: "I did not run away from her. We were torn apart. I truly loved
the princess."
Gwendolyn: "Father..."
Velvet: "Lies! If you loved my mother, who is this other daughter here?"
Gwendolyn: "..."
Velvet: "I do not think of you as my father, and I have no desire to
help you."
[Eggman-- Brigan stumbles into the conversation]
Brigan: "Well, well... I followed the King and stumbled into a royal spat."
Brigan: "Fraternizing with the enemy... Would could've guessed...?"
Odin: "Lord Brigan..."
Brigan: "Although their demise was sudden, Valentine was still our enemy."
Brigan: "And while the battle raged, the King had an affair with their
princess and even had a child."
Brigan: "Deary me... The subjects would be most upset."
Brigan: "But as I am a loyal servant of my King, I will carry this secret to
my grave."
[Mario-like jumping abilties are insane for a guy his size]
Brigan: "But that Cauldron is another story."
Brigan: "Now come, winsome little witch. You will help us gain its might."
----------------------------------
Valkyrie - Chapter 2 - Act 6
Demon Lord's Castle
----------------------------------
Dwaf: "How did you stop the magic furnace? There must be some kind of "key" to
it."
Dwarf: "Speak, witch, if you value your life."
Velvet: "Even if I told you, there is nothing you could do."
Velvet: "The Cauldron may only be controlled by a ring named Titrel."
Velvet: "A terrible dragon holds the ring presently..."
Velvet: "Wagner, feared by all, keeps the ring within his stomach."
Dwarf: "How could this be?"
Odin: "Wagner, of all things..."
Brigan: "My Lord, what do you plan for the girl who has harmed our
country so?"
Brigan: "If we cannot use the Cauldron's magic..."
Brigan: "The inevitable, final battle shall be a recreation of the awful war
against Valentine."
Brigan: "How are we to inform the soldiers and the citizens!?"
Odin: "I know."
Brigan: "We must sacrifice her flesh to the dragon and retrieve the ring!"
Brigan: "Command me to sacrifice the witch! Suppress everyone's anger with
blood!"
Odin: "..."
Brigan: "Hm... I sense my King is not content."
Brigan: "Is there any reason to protect this witch?"
Brigan: "Is there anything at all between our King and his daughter from an
enemy land?"
Odin: "Brigan... You..."
Brigan: "Ah, Sire. I hear your command. The witch shall be sacrificed."
Brigan: "Away with her!"
----------------------------------
1.3 Valkyrie: Chapter 3 ...... VA3
----------------------------------
Valkyrie - Chapter 3 - Act 2
Demon Lord's Throne
----------------------------------
Gwendolyn: "Father..."
Gwendolyn: "That girl... Velvet... Is she someone special to you, Father?"
Odin: "She resembles the princess I onced loved... To lose her again, now..."
Odin: "Gwendolyn... Please leave me. I do not wish you to see me like this."
[So a little birdie told me a few things...]
Gwendolyn: "My mother and sister devoted their lives to the King... I never
heard him devote so many words of affection to me... ever."
Bird: "If you leave her, she will be executed."
Bird: "That will make you the King's only surviving daughter. You'll no
longer have to compete for his love."
Gwendolyn: "True... If only she were gone..."
Gwendolyn: "..."
Gwendolyn: "But if she dies... Father will suffer even more."
Bird: "Are you saying you will save her? This girl who cares nothing for you?"
Bird: "If you do, you are committing treason. You will no longer be welcome
here. Will you persist with this folly?"
[I no longer wish to hear voices in my head! *flee*]
Bird: "There will be no way to redeem yourself."
Bird: "How can you willingly choose to walk the path to your own death...?"
----------------------------------
Valkyrie - Chapter 3 - Act 4
Above the Clouds
----------------------------------
Brigan: "We haven't found the dragon yet..."
Brigan: "Is Wagner really here as this girl says he is?"
Brigan: "Go find him! All of you, go!"
[Soldiers do what they're told, like good pawns]
Brigan: "I don't mind that he isn't here. I never wanted to meet the
dragon, anyway."
Brigan: "Even if you are sacrificed, there's no guarantee it will
give me the ring."
Brigan: "I'd be needlessly putting my life in jeopardy."
Velvet: "What are you planning to do?"
Brigan: "This is what I will tell your father: The dragon killed you here as I
commanded."
[Dynamic entry from Gwen!]
Velvet: "You...? Why are you doing this?"
Gwendolyn: "Hurry, run away! If you still wish to live, go!"
["So long, dood!"]
Brigan: "...Gwendolyn... You've done a very foolish thing."
Gwendolyn: "This isn't about using the Cauldron, is it?"
Gwendolyn: "Why do you seek her death so fervently?"
Brigan: "Do you really want to know?"
Brigan: "After she is dead, I will inform the nation that the witch was the
King's daughter."
Brigan: "And after having a child with the enemy, he was such a monster that
he killed her."
Brigan: "The people will wonder if such a man is fit to be king..."
Gwendolyn: "I never thought one of my King's trusted generals could
be so treacherous."
Brigan: "After I deal with you, I'll recapture that girl and
offer her to the dragon."
Brigan: "Why don't you try begging for mercy? Perhaps you could be the new
king's mistress, hm?"
----------------------------------
Valkyrie - Chapter 3 - Act 6
Demon Lord's Throne
----------------------------------
Odin: "This is hopeless... You have disobeyed me and killed my chief vassel."
Odin: "The fact you are my daughter cannot save you from punishment... The
citizens of the nation will never stand for it."
[There's still voices in my head...]
Bird: "You're trembling... Do you regret your actions?"
[Well, that was brief...]
Gwendolyn: "There is no excuse for what I did... I am prepared to face
the consequences."
Gwendolyn: "I shall endure any form of punishment."
[Obligatory side-whispers]
Odin: "Rebellious Valkyrie, you will undergo the customary punishment."
Odin: "A sleeping spell will be cast upon you."
Odin: "When you awaken, your heart will belong to a stranger."
Odin: "Your pride and honor will be stripped away."
Odin: "You will devote your life to him, bear his children, and grow old."
Gwendolyn: "I care not... My actions spared you from suffering."
Odin: "Oh, my dear... What have I done...?"
Odin: "You do not doubt yourself, my precious daughter..."
Gwendolyn: "I... I have longed to hear you say those words."
Gwendolyn: "Oh, Father..."
[Sleeping Beauty, anyone?]

Oswald: "There you are, Gwendolyn..."
Gwendolyn: (Oswald... The Shadow Knight... I have been forced to accept
the enemy's elite soldier as my husband.)
Gwendolyn: (It seems I am destined to suffer...)
Oswald: "I must take my leave soon..."
Oswald: "But before I go, I would like to give you something."
Oswald: "Your hand, please..."
[He takes her hand and places a ring over her finger]
Gwendolyn: "This ring..."
Oswald: "I'm sorry; I have nothing else worthy of being presented to you..."
Oswald: "This is a beautiful ring that I obtained from a dragon named
Wagner."
Gwendolyn: "! ...The ring Titrel...?"
Oswald: "Will you accept it?"
Gwendolyn: "Why are you giving me something so precious?"
Oswald: "Hmmm... How can I say it...?"
Oswald: "Well... It's because... I want to see you smile... To see you
happy..."
Gwendolyn: "I-I am a warrior. My only happiness stems from battle."
[At least he's thoughtful...?]
Bird: "You sound unsure... Do you fancy him?"
Gwendolyn: "No. That man is my enemy."
Gwendolyn: "When I think about all the warriors he has slain..."
Gwendolyn: "I cannot forgive him, no matter how kind he is to me."
Gwendolyn: "My father's spell is making me feel this way."
Gwendolyn: "'Tis not love. It simply cannot be..."
Gwendolyn: "I shall seek vengeance the moment it presents itself. That is what
my father would want me to do..."
Bird: "There is no reason for you to remain loyal to a king who has
abandoned you."
Oswald: "I... I just want to do what will make my father happy."
Bird: "That is what Oswald just said to you."
Gwendolyn: "..."
Bird: "He yearns for your love in the same way you yearn for your father's."
Gwendolyn: "It matters not. For now, I am simply a prisoner being manipulated
by my captor."

Brom: "Oswald... Are you leaving so soon?"
Oswald: "Yes... I have an oath to keep."
Oswald: "Gwendolyn... Will you wait for me?"
Gwendolyn: "I belong to you, now. If you command me to wait, I shall obey."
Oswald: "You are not an object. ...And I will not allow anyone to treat you
thus."
Oswald: "Never..."
Oswald: "I take my leave. I shall be back soon."
[Probably off to kill some more things]
Gwendolyn: "This ring is undoubtedly Titrel."
Gwendolyn: "This will allow the Cauldron to be reactivated."
Gwendolyn: "I must take it to my father..."

Berserker: "Princess!?"
Gwendolyn: "I come with a message for the king..."

Gwendolyn: "What are you doing!?"
Gwendolyn: "I may have been banished, but I will not tolerate such
treatment."
Berserker: "The king has ordered us to kill you on sight."

[Odin smash!]
Gwendolyn: "Father!"
Odin: "Not quite... Don't you recognize me?"
[It's... Egg-- Oh forget it]
Gwendolyn: "You're Lord Brigan!"
Brigan: "The Queen of the Underworld thinks highly of me..."
Brigan: "I have been delegated to discipline King Odin, who steals jewels from
her realm."
Brigan: "Observe!"
Brigan: "The pitiful king is merely a puppet to my will. This country is
finally mine."
Gwendolyn: "So you're behind the chaos in this land."
Gwendolyn: "You disgust me! Leave the King at once!"
Brigan: "I'll tear off those wings of yours and remove my shame from having
known you."
Brigan: "Your soul shall become my plaything."

Gwendolyn: "Father... You've returned."
Odin: "Gwendolyn... You made it back safely..."
Gwendolyn: "I have violated your edict, but I have some important information
for you."
Gwendolyn: "Please take this. This ring is... Titrel."
Odin: "Good work, Gwendolyn..."
[Parting ways with the one ring to rule them all... er, Titrel]
Odin: "That man... I was right to tempt Oswald."
Gwendolyn: "Tempt? What do you mean, Father...?"
Odin: "He and I formed a pact: I would give you to him if he could slay the
dragon Wagner."
Odin: "Obviously, he succeeded. The ring is a prize from that battle..."
Odin: "With your latest actions, you have atoned for your past
transgressions."
Odin: "Welcome back, my child. Your honor has been restored."
Gwendolyn: (The Shadow Knight... Oswald... He fought the dragon for me.)
Gwendolyn: "No. This is no longer where I belong."
Odin: "Gwendolyn..."
Gwendolyn: "Farewell... I wish you and the heavens well..."

Gwendolyn: "Please tell me... Where has he gone?"
Brom: "He went to the Fire Kingdom to fulfill a promise he made to the king
there."
Brom: "He's been gone for some time now. Something may have happened..."
[A monologue is fine, too]
Gwendolyn: (To fulfill a promise...?)
Gwendolyn: (What is happening in the Fire Kingdom? My heart aches with
each passing day...)
Gwendolyn: (I cannot bear it... I cannot wait like this.)

Vulcan: "The great King Onyx is just ahead."
[Gwendolyn passes the grunt to meet shirtless pyro]
Onyx: "Welcome, Princess of Ragnanival..."
Gwendolyn: "It has been awhile, Your Majesty..."
Onyx: "You are as beautiful as ever. 'Tis always a pleasure to welcome you to
our kingdom."
Onyx: "This way, please. Allow us to entertain you."
Gwendolyn: "Your Majesty... I have come here seeking answers."
Gwendolyn: "I have heard that my husband, Oswald, has come to this land."
Gwendolyn: "Are you aware of this?"
Onyx: "As much as I would like to say that I am not, I cannot lie in the face
of such beauty."
Onyx: "He is certainly here. He is fighting for me."
Gwendolyn: "Fighting?"
Onyx: "Yes. Against a dragon that is terrorizing our country."
Onyx: "Some say that this dragon is Leventhan, the one mentioned in the
prophecies concerning the world's end."
Onyx: "Our fire and our swords have had no effect on this newborn dragon."
Onyx: "I thought his Belderiver may have some effect... But since I have heard
no news, I assume it was useless as well."
Gwendolyn: "Why Oswald...?"
Onyx: "You may not know this... But King Odin has already promised your
hand... to me."
Onyx: "It would've helped unify both our countries."
Onyx: "But your father went back on his word... And instead, gave you to that
tortured soul."
Onyx: "In compensation for letting the issue drop quietly, Oswald made me a
promise..."
Onyx: "He vowed to fight for his life on my behalf whenever I asked."
Gwendolyn: "Oswald did this for me...?"
Onyx: "He may die... He may even already be dead..."
Onyx: "I can void our agreement and save him... if you will be my bride."
Onyx: "It's up to you, Gwendolyn... As long as you become mine."
Gwendolyn: "Inferno King, you are no different than the men back home..."
Gwendolyn: "I am not an object."
[Off to find the Shadow Knight~!]
Onyx: "What?"
Onyx: "Get her, Vulcans! Capture her, but don't harm her."
[But they harm her anyways as sub-bosses! D: ]

Oswald: "This is useless... It seems the Queen of the Dead has reduced my
sword's power."
Oswald: "My body is like lead..."
Oswald: "To be defeated by a newborn dragon like this..."
Oswald: "This doesn't look good..."
[Yet another dynamic entry]
Gwendolyn: "Oswald!"
Oswald: "!?"
Oswald: "Why are... you here...?"
Oswald: "I... I can't make it... I can't go on..."
[Conveniently passes out before boss fight]

Gwendolyn: "His injuries are grave... They must be attended to immediately."
Onyx: "See what his pride has cost him... Leave him be."
[Inferno King walks in]
Onyx: "You have been banished for disgracing your country, but you are still
astonishing!"
Onyx: "To be able to defeat the dragon from the prophecies... You intrigue me
even more."
[She kneels down to Oswald]
Gwendolyn: "Oswald has fought for you and the dragon has been defeated."
Gwendolyn: "We are returning to the castle."
Onyx: "Why...? Why him?"
Onyx: "That man has been selected by the Queen of the Dead..."
Onyx: "He will eventually die as her servant. His very existance is torment."
Onyx: "Leave that doomed soul and take my hand."
Gwendolyn: "Your Majesty, if you persist in insulting my husband, my spear
will take your hand."
Gwendolyn: "If you do not want your life extinguished, get out of my sight!"
Onyx: "How intense... Just like a flame..."
Onyx: "I shall pay my respects to such intensity and back down for now."
Onyx: "The promise has been kept. Let us leave it at that."
Onyx: "But remember, you are the one that stokes the embers of my heart."

Brom: "Has Oswald's conditions changed?"
Gwendolyn: "He is resting at the moment."
Brom: "I see..."
[Gwendolyn leaves Oswald's side and advances towards Brom]
Gwendolyn: "May I ask you something?"
Brom: "What is it?"
Gwendolyn: "I have heard rumors suggesting that Oswald has some type of
connection to the Queen of Death."
Brom: "Well... Hmm..."
[Wakey, wakey]
Oswald: "In order to increase my Belderiver's power, my father sold me to
her."
Gwendolyn: "Oswald! You need to rest."
Oswald: "And just as he wished, I acquired the cursed power of the Shadow
Knight."
Oswald: "But in compensation for this contract, the Halja lurk about
everywhere."
Oswald: "They are waiting for the moment my power fades."
Gwendolyn: "How terrible..."
Oswald: "As long as I have the Belderiver, the Halja fear me and stay away."
Oswald: "But this power continues to be my curse..."
Oswald: "That was a close call back there. I must thank you."
Oswald: "But, Gwendolyn... Why did you go to the Fire Kingdom?"
Oswald: "What did you discuss with Onyx?"
Gwendolyn: "I apologize for not obeying your command to stay here."
Gwendolyn: "But... I was so worried and concerned about you... I could not sit
idly by."
Oswald: "!"
Oswald: "You were worried... about me?"
Gwendolyn: "I... I... Um..."
[A killjoy Valkyrie arrives]
Valkyrie: "Your Highness!"
Gwendolyn: "You belong to my father's troops."
Valkyrie: "I have something to report."
Valkyrie: "Ragnanival suffered a crushing defeat from the Vanir, under their
new Queen."
Valkyrie: "They have seized the area around the Cauldron."
Gwendolyn: "That can't be...! How is the King!? Is the King all right?"
Valkyrie: "King Odin has been wounded by Arcane Bolts and has returned to the
castle."
Valkyrie: "But, his injuries are severe, and he is in no shape to do battle."
Valkyrie: "The enemy will surely take this opportunity to invade the castle."
Valkyrie: "The precious ring he received from Your Highness has been taken
away."
Oswald: "!"
Gwendolyn: "You... gave away the ring I presented to you..."
Oswald: "Ugh..."
Oswald: "This was all a part of the Demon Lord's scheme. So, I was used as a
puppet..."
Gwendolyn: "Wait a moment... I really..."
[Heartbroken, he takes his leave]
Gwendolyn: "Ahh..."
Valkyrie: "Your Highness, for now, please return to the kingdom
and assist King Odin."
Gwendolyn: "..."
Gwendolyn: "I cannot return to my father..."
Gwendolyn: "But... I will serve my responsibility as the king's daughter
and fight."
Gwendolyn: "Please inform the king of my intentions."

Bird: "You're going to attack alone? You're asking to be killed."
Gwendolyn: "If I can retrieve that ring, the entire war will change."
Bird: "Are you doing this for your father?"
Gwendolyn: "..."
Bird: "Or... for him?"
Gwendolyn: "I never imagined losing someone could be so terrifying..."
Gwendolyn: "I don't want to lose him...!"

Matthew: "For a Valkyrie to come alone to a place like this..."
Mercedes: "It's Odin's Witch. Let's ask what brings her here."
Gwendolyn: "Your Highness... Please allow me to introduce myself."
Gwendolyn: "My name is Gwendolyn. I am King Odin's daughter."
Gwendolyn: "I have been exiled from my country, but circumstances forced
me to come here."
Gwendolyn: "I have but one request."
Gwendolyn: "The ring, Titrel... It was given to me as a gift. It is
extremely precious to me."
Gwendolyn: "I humbly request that you give me the ring."
Matthew: "You barged in here to ask that? What cheek! Do you really expect us
to hand the ring that controls the Cauldron to you?"
Mercedes: "We cannot give you the ring."
Mercedes: "This ring is a spoil of war taken from the Demon Lord. I am its
rightful owner now."
Mercedes: "If you do not leave, I shall be forced to demonstrate my Riblam's
power."

Brom: "I told him to get some rest..."
Myris: "Oh, Brom... I see him..."
Brom: "Ah, so there he is..."
[Oh how my heart aches~!]
Oswald: "Unrequited love is quite painful..."
Oswald: "But... 'Tis even more painful to be imprisoned by someone for
whom you feel nothing."
Oswald: "Gwendolyn..."
Oswald: "I had the slightest glimmer of hope in my heart..."
Oswald: "...And now it is gone."
[Servants arrive on the spot]
Brom: "What is that?"
[And so does a Halja]
Brom: "It's a... a messenger of death!"
Brom: "Oswald!"
Halja: "What's wrong, Oswald? Your sword is so close. If you do not reach for
it, my scythe shall claim you."
Halja: "You have no hope nor power... You are a shell of a man filled with
despair."
Halja: "Now, come... You belong to my Queen for all eternity."

[Gwendolyn arrives to Odin's throne room]
Odin: "You're looking slightly thinner... I've been waiting for
you, Gwendolyn..."
Odin: "I have heard of your exploits."
Odin: "Assaulting the enemy with only one spear..."
Odin: "Retrieving the ring from those cunning and shrewd lasses..."
Odin: "As long as we have the power to control the Cauldron, their plans
will go away."
Odin: "You are the most wonderful daughter in the cosmos. You are as precious
as that ring."
Gwendolyn: "..."
Odin: "Now, present your king with the treastures of victory."
Gwendolyn: "This ring represents a bond with someone special. I cannot let
it go."
Gwendolyn: "The reason I have come today is to inquire about how to enter the
Netherworld."
Odin: "What foolishness is this? Give me the ring."
Gwendolyn: "You should know, Father, since you travel there to
collect crystals."
Gwendolyn: "Will you please hear my request? Please, Father..."
[Odin smash... that wall!]
Odin: "A daughter that has been banished... wishes to make a deal with her
father, the kind of the nation!?"
Odin: "..."
Odin: "Very well. In exchange for the ring, I shall escort you to the
Netherworld's border."
Gwendolyn: "Father..."
Odin: "Now, hand me the ring."
Gwendolyn: "...No. Not until I make it back from the Netherworld."

Odette: "How irritating... Barging in here without an invitation. You're as
arrogant as your father."
Odette: "You, daughter of the petty thief who steals my jewels, don't
delude yourself into thinking that you'll leave here alive."
Gwendolyn: "Great Queen of the Dead..."
Gwendolyn: "Please let Oswald go... Please return my husband."
Odette: "Well, well... So you've come running after your master like
a lapdog..."
[Boney arm comes out of no where]
Gwendolyn: "Oswald!"
Odette: "His life has been given to me in exchange for power."
Odette: "He walks along the abyss of eternal death while serving
alongside me..."
Odette: "He was pledged to be mine before he ever met you."
Odette: "You are a nuisance to us. Allow me to personally extinguish your
life."
Gwendolyn: "The Valkyrie do not fear death. And if death cannot be
avoided, then we welcome out fate."
Gwendolyn: "Losing Oswald to you is more painful than death itself."
Odette: "So you say... You have no idea."
Odette: "What do you plan to do with that spear made from my jewels?"
Odette: "Look around you. Many souls merge together to become crystals, then
return to the world above."
Odette: "You're risking your very soul by playing with that spear. And
now, the time has come to receive your punishment."

Odette: "Aaah..."
Odette: "Both the living and the dead could exist in this land,"
Odette: "because I bridged the gap between these two worlds."
Odette: "Now those that are still alive will forever be barred from entering."
Odette: "The path will close and all ties to your world will be severed."
Odette: "Death will become more horrifying and abominable than ever before."
Odette: "When the world sees its demise, remember the fury you unleashed."
[Lady Death is extinguished]

Odin: "The only thing that can overcome death is pure love."
Odin: "I can no longer collect crystals from the Netherworld."
