Closing In/Script — fireemblem

Part 1: Enclosing Heavens

Sharena: It's no use. There's no way out! The darkness stretches out in every direction!
Anna: Our scouts confirm as much. It has us completely surrounded. I don't understand... We defeated Letizia, and she was the one causing the darkness. Why is this happening?
Veronica: This is Embla...
Alfonse: ...
Veronica: My blood screams in my veins. I feel a turning in the depths of my heart... Long ago, our ancestors were bound by this blood...
Bruno: The blood of Embla.
Alfonse: ...
Ash: Oh no... A crisis of this sort and magnitude is truly unprecedented... Never before has something of this— If Embla comes here, this entire land and the people of Embla will surely fall to ruin. If the situation has reached this dire point, we must beseech Lord Askr to intervene on our behalf.
Sharena: If we call on Lord Askr... You mean to say the Divine Dragon himself will lend us his aid?
Ash: Yes. Or rather, so long as the gateway has not been closed off by this darkness... If we are to reach the gate in time, we must move quickly. Please, follow me, everyone.

Elm: Ah-hahaha! What beautiful weather we're having. Such lovely skies never fail to bring a smile to my face! Lady Embla is on her way. It won't be long now... Finally, at long last, we will bring death to Askr!

Letizia: ...
Veronica: Sissy... Can you hear me?
Letizia: ...
Veronica: We are going to find a way out of this darkness. If we all work together, we're more likely to—
Letizia: Together? With you?! What could possibly make you think I would go with you? I have always clawed my way to the top—now is no different. I am better off alone! The mere thought of cooperating with you is nauseating. Just...go away, Veronica! Leave me!
Veronica: ...I can't force you to join us. I do hope that, someday, we can be close again...as we once were.
Letizia: I said GO!
Veronica: ...If we find our way out, I refuse to leave you behind. I will be back for you.

Guy: Master, I said I would challenge you. I will grow stronger. I will beat you.

Florina: I don't want to rely on my sis ters and Lyn forever. I want them to see what I can do!

Letizia: Close as we once were... Hmph. Foolish child. What inane babble. I will not be so easily manipulated... How could things ever be like they were with us? After I...I... I put you through hell, Veronica. And yet still you...
???: ...Hmh.
Letizia: Wh-who's there? Identify yourself!
???: Hm-hm-hmh... Hmmm... Yes... It runs thin, but there it is... That familiar blood... Hm-hm-hmh...
Letizia: Identify yourself! You address the successor to the Emblian throne!
Embla: You address Embla. And it is my blood, the blood I granted your ancestors that flows within you. Your blood is my blood. And so, you are mine. Head, arms, legs, all... Hm-hm-hmh-ha-hah...
Letizia: ...Hngh!
Embla: You cannot flee from me. You cannot refuse me. You are already mine. We are already one.

Letizia: A-agh...
Veronica: Stop! Stop or she'll— Sissy! Listen to me!
Letizia/Embla: Give up. This body is mine, and I have no intention of letting go. As long as she lives, I will never let go now.
Veronica: No!
Sharena: P-please stop! If you don't stop, Letizia will die!
Letizia/Embla: Let me kill you then. Ooh... Wait, wait... I can feel her hate... It burns within her, screaming her wish to kill you herself...
Veronica: ...
Letizia/Embla: Hm-hm-hmh... Such loathing... Such malice... Very well... I will allow you use of your body... for this. Now, kill them!
Veronica: ...
Letizia: Veronica... I will not allow...someone else the privilege of killing you. I cannot...
Veronica: ...
Letizia: I dreamed of you finally dying... And yet here, now...I cannot let it happen... But I know...life will never again be like it was in childhood... That door is closed...and only one now remai— Nya-aaaugggh...

(screen flashes)

Letizia: ... ...
Veronica: Sissy! ...No!
Bruno: She...sacrificed herself. With her last breath, Letizia fought to protect you, Veronica...
Veronica: ...
Letizia/Embla: Hm-hm-hmh... This body may be spent...
Embla: ...I, however, remain.
Veronica: H-how?!
Embla: Destroy as many of my puppets as you please. No harm will come to me. You two... Yes, both of you... My blood runs in your veins, does it? Hmm... And you are not alone... I sense two others here carry my blood as well... How interesting...
Bruno: ...Two others?!
Veronica: ...Wh-what?
Embla: Hm-hm-hmh... Well then... Which of you shall I make my next puppet? I will start with... Hmm... You. You are now mine to control! There is no way out! Submit to me! Hm-hm... Hm-hm-hmh-ha-HAH!
