> **Estelle**Gasp! Ohmygosh! Sir Allen! I've finally found you!**Albert**Ah! Well, if it isn't... erm... who are you? Have we met, child?**Estelle**Silly Sir Allen! How could you forget this expert's name? I'm Estelle, mightiest of the Lightbringer lineage! It is your honor to once more stand in my presence!**Albert**Ah. Estelle. Hmm. Your face seems a little familiar...**Estelle**Remember, master? You taught me magic for over twenty years! Thanks to your tutelage, I am now a master of light magic!**Albert**Wait. Aren't you... that girl... I gave an old tome last year? ...Yes. That's right. You kept pestering me about something. I gave you one of my spellbooks so you'd leave me alone...**Estelle**It was your intensive training that allowed me to become an Archmage! Now I've returned to once more seek
> out your insights, great teacher!**Albert**Child. I am not opposed to teaching a student. But... you are not the type I prefer to train. Your heart is too pure, too innocent for me. The Nightbringer path is not one you can follow casually.**Estelle**Haha! Silly Allen! I'm not a Nightbringer! I'm a LIGHTBRINGER! A common mistake.**Albert**I...**Estelle**You can simply train me to strengthen all my magic! I need to become stronger as quickly as I can!**Albert**Hm? You do? And why is that?**Estelle**Err, well... don't you worry about that! I just need to max out my expert points!**Albert**It seems you must master magic for some purpose. Won't you tell me, girl?**Estelle**Umm... sorry, Sir Allen, but that's not your business. Let's focus on making me into a true expert, okay?**Albert**Of course.[Estelle leaves.]**Albert**...That child... she's doing her best. But I sense a deep sorrow in her heart.

> **Estelle**Up and at 'em, Sir Allen! It's training time!**Albert**Estelle. Always so lively. I have a question for you.**Estelle**Huh? Silly Sir Allen! It's the student who asks questions! And you're the teacher!**Albert**You say you're a Lightbringer. But they... have white hair. Why is yours colored brown?**Estelle**That's a common misconception. Lightbringers have brown hair! I guess if you've never met one before, you wouldn't know that. Oh hey, what good luck for you! You've expanded your horizons!**Albert**Mmm. Well, I am more talented with a blade than a tome. I shall try to teach you the rudimentary basics, child. But... it's only... I have this nagging feeling in my chest.**Estelle**Oh no. That sounds like heartburn! Sir Allen, do you need a doctor?**Albert**I do not. Estelle, were you, by chance, a church acolyte? Perhaps a Mandated Daughter?**Estelle**Ohh! I'm... surprised you'd know that term, Sir Allen.Yuppers! I was a daughter of the Holtmeier Holy Church!**Albert**I see. So a few years ago, when the Rose Corps came through...**Estelle**...**Albert**How did you escape the Rose Hounds?**Estelle**I... don't want to talk about that, Sir Allen. Can we... focus on the training... please?**Albert**Oh, Estelle. Don't cry. I understand your pain. It must have been lonely, running from House Rose.**Estelle**Yeah... it was.**Albert**I was on the run for a while myself, you know. I'm a Lightbringer too.**Estelle**What? You are? But you don't have any hair. Bald people can't be Lightbringers.**Albert**Hah. What makes you so sure of that?**Estelle**Because I'm an expert!**Albert**Indeed. Well, sit down a while and listen, child. I will do my best to train you in the ancient ways.**Estelle**Okay! Thank you, Sir Allen! Soon I'll be a super-expert!**Albert**That you will.

> **Albert**Estelle. How nice to see you again.**Estelle**Sir Allen. Thank you for training me.. It... means a lot.**Albert**No need for thanks. You're an acolyte of the Lightbringers. It is my duty to train you.**Estelle**Yeah...**Albert**Hm? Is everything alright? You seem less 'bubbly' than usual.**Estelle**I... need to become an expert. But it won't matter, will it?**Albert**Why do you say that?**Estelle**Master Viera... she was my mentor in the church. I didn't want to admit it until now, but...**Albert**...**Estelle**She's dead. Isn't she?**Albert**... I found a ledger when Malthrak was in chaos. A record of the Hunting Parties of House Rose. It... listed those who they had killed.**Estelle**...**Albert**Your master's name was on the list. I'm sorry, child.**Estelle**Oh. I guess... that's it, then. I'm no expert at all. If I really was, I could have saved my friends.**Albert**You know, Estelle. People die all the time. It is natural. Without death, life lacks a certain... beauty.**Estelle**I don't understand. That makes no sense.**Albert**Sometimes, you cannot appreciate something until it has been lost. We often take the world around us for granted, paying it no mind. It is only when a disaster wipes out a village we see its value. The Lightbringers protected us from the undead Terrors. But nobody would appreciate that fact until they're gone. With our people dead, Andaron will soon face a crisis. They will need new legends to rise up and save their lives.**Estelle**New legends? New... experts?**Albert**That's right, Estelle. You were not able to save Master Viera. But there are children out there with masters you could save. A failure in the past can become a great success in the future. As an expert, you must turn past failures into learning moments. In this way, you will never repeat those mistakes in the future.**Estelle**Wow! Sir Allen, that's... you're such a wise man! I feel like you're making me smarter with your words!**Albert**As long as you continue learning, you will become unstoppable. This I promise you, Lady Estelle.**Estelle**Thank you for your wisdom, master.

## Garam

### C Support

> **Estelle**Gasp! A centaur? Have you come to raid our camp again?**Garam**Estelle, we've been in the same company for a while now.**Estelle**I won't fall for your tricks. I'll be watching you!**Garam**Hmpf. I do not bother to listen to threats from a tiny human.**Estelle**You better be careful, I am an expert on centaur culture!**Garam**You? An expert?**Estelle**Oh yes. I practically know more about your people than you do!**Garam**Interesting. Pray tell, what knowledge do you have of the centaur way of life?**Estelle**Oh, I've read volumes, for instance, I'm
> well aware that centaurs use their tails to communicate complex messages. A flick to the left means danger, a flick to the right means food is near, and a curl up means... well, I won't get into it.**Garam**What? That's not accurate at all, Estelle. Our tails are not a secret code. Besides, I don't even know what that 'upwards curl' was supposed to mean.**Estelle**I also know that centaurs have a strong dislike for anything metallic. That's why you never carry weapons!**Garam**Incorrect, again. I carry an axe made of hardened steel. Our warriors wield a variety of weapons, many of them metallic.**Estelle**Hmm, that's odd. My books never mentioned that. Oh, and I've also read about your impressive dances! The bucks perform them to attract the does, right? Just like peacocks!**Garam**We are not peacocks. Courtship among my people is a lot more... straight forward. Not that it's any of your concern.**Estelle**Well, I never. My books must have been quite off, but that's alright. There's always more to learn!**Garam**Perhaps next time, you could try learning from a real centaur instead of your books.**Estelle**Alright, sounds great. I will be following you everywhere from now on!**Garam**Be my guest, but I won't slow my pace. You will have to run after me.**Estelle**That's fine, I'm an expert sprinter!**Garam**Are all humans this... odd?

### B Support

> **Estelle**Hey, I have a new topic. Food! Now, I'm quite certain I've got this one correct. Centaurs primarily consume a diet of gras and hay, right? Just like horses.**Garam**Estelle, do not ever compare us to horses.**Estelle**Well, it is quite a logical comparison, don't you think, Garam?**Garam**We are not horses, Estelle. Our dietary preferences are just as varied as yours. We enjoy fruits, vegetables, grains, and meats, as well. Lots of delicious meat!**Estelle**Have you ever eaten horse meat?**Garam**No...**Estelle**Why not? If you're not a horse...**Garam**It never felt right for us to consume horse meat.**Estelle**Gasp, I knew it! You really ARE a horse after all!**Garam**Estelle, you tread on thin ice...**Estelle**Omigosh, there is ice beneath me? I wasn't aware, how scary!**Garam**I've had enough of humans for one day.[Garam leaves.]**Estelle**Garam, wait for me!

### A Support

> **Estelle**You know, Garam, as we've continued these cultural exchanges, I've developed a theory.**Garam**Oh, have you now? Should I brace myself?**Estelle**I've concluded that you're not a centaur at all. You're actually a man in a horse costume.**Garam**By Angivk, you've had some absurd notions, but this one. This one takes the prize.**Estelle**Well, think about it! You eat like a human, you drink like a human, you even use human-like weapons. It's all rather suspicious.**Garam**You've followed me around all this time just to reach that conclusion?**Estelle**That's right. I finally figured you out!**Garam**I'm leaving...**Estelle**I've also gotten quite good at sprinting! I'll keep up no matter where you go!**Garam**Aaaaargh!

## Dawn

### C Support

> **Estelle**You! With the white hair! Come here right now!**Dawn**"You with the white hair"?
> Is this how you address-**Estelle**I'm on to you, you phony!**Dawn**Phony?!**Estelle**I have heard from others at camp that you claim to be a Lightbringer. You have even gone so far as to dye your hair white. In a pale imitation of glory!**Dawn**Do you have the slightest notion of who you are speaking to right now?**Estelle**I don't know you, but I know you are not a Lightbringer!**Dawn**And how could you possibly know these things, you foolish child?!**Estelle**Isn't it obvious? I AM a Lightbringer! My magic, my stunning good looks! A visage as perfect as mine could only be created by the blood of Dawn!**Dawn**I've been advised against killing my own allies. But my patience grows thin at blasphemy. Know my mercy is the only thing keeping you alive.**Estelle**WHAT!? How dare you speak to me like that! Oh, now you've done it! It's Bringin' time!**Dawn**....What are you doing?**Estelle**Shut up! Can't you see that I'm channeling a heavenly spell to smite you? Any second now, the Divines shall appear before us! They shall do it for me!**Dawn**.......**Estelle**....... ....... ............**Dawn**Pathetic.

### B Support

> **Estelle**.... Any minute now....**Dawn**Oh, so we are trying again, today? You are completely mad.**Estelle**I am NOT mad! I'm enlightened!**Dawn**Oh, it is quite contrary, Estelle. I feel as though you are in the process of enlightening me.**Estelle**Uh, Well of course I am! My very presence is-**Dawn**What? Has your mind finally cracked?**Estelle**GASP!!!**Dawn**Ah! Is that reality setting in for you?**Estelle**..... Y-yes, I believe it has, Lady Dawn.**Dawn**It seems my prayers have been answered. Now, you may grovel to beg forgiveness.**Estelle**I can't believe the things I said to you, Dawn. Some form of madness must've taken me. It's absurd. How could I have forgotten you, my own sister!?**Dawn**Your... your SISTER?![Estelle hugs Dawn.]**Estelle**Hush, hush, I know. Please don't cry. I missed you too, sister. But now that I'm back, we can make up for all the time we've lost! Come on! We have to tell the others of our happy reunion!**Dawn**.... I am going to burn this continent to the ground.

### A Support

> **Estelle**Oh, sister! It's so lovely to spend time with you once more! I must say, being an Ancestor is lonely, bitter work. We simply must stick together!**Dawn**....**Estelle**Dawn? Dawn!! Are you listening to me? Come now, we've only just reunited! Is this how you treat your beloved-**Dawn**That does it! I can't take this anymore!**Estelle**Now, I know things may seem strange, but beings as powerful as ourselves-**Dawn**You are NOT my sister! You carry not a tenth of the power, nor the wit required! You are a pitiable madwoman desperate for attention!**Estelle**Oh, come on! Siblings always fight! Are you tired? I'll get you some-**Dawn**...I see it now, the divines have sent you as a test to humble me! I have felled thousands of terrors, demons of unspeakable horror! And yet, somehow, YOU are the most unbearable entity I have ever seen!**Estelle**Hahaha! You're so silly. I know what this is all about! Yes, I took your brassiere without asking, but it makes me look so full-figured! If I apologize, will you let me keep it?**Dawn**.....**Estelle**.....**Dawn**Divines, I pray that you bless this poor, sick, demented child. Rid that which rots her mind, and bless her with life and light. In your most Holy Names, Amen.**Estelle**Huh?**Dawn**Goodbye, Estelle. The demons which possess you are so powerful I dare not challenge them.[Dawn leaves.]**Estelle**... Wow! A blessing from Lady Dawn herself! That was much easier than I thought! I really, truly AM an expert! Hahaha!!

## Elmer

### C Support

> **Elmer**Aw jinkies, these enemies are getting really scary! What should I do...**Estelle**AHA! There you are! Why are you skulking around like some creepy pervert, Elmo?! No husband of mine would run away from teaching peasants a lesson!**Elmer**Eeeep!! Huff... you scared me, Estelle! B-but why are you calling me your husband? We just have the same magic teacher...**Estelle**That's what marriage is, you dummy!**Elmer**Don't you remember Prince Baudimon and Princess Aylanda's wedding? Marriage is when a man and woman love each other a whole lot. Or I guess two men or two women. I don't know.**Estelle**What nerve, a commoner thinking he knows more about love than this expert! I ought to slap you silly, you cretin!**Elmer**Uhm... let's not get violent, please! What would Master Ferdinand think? Maybe you can ask him if we're married.**Estelle**Gasp! You're right! I heard Master Fergil is a genius of romance. He's famous for synthesizing a legendary potion of lust!**Elmer**He is?! U-uh, I mean yes, that's right!**Estelle**I'm going to go sniff around for him... Maybe he'll teach me how to cast the spell 'Halcyon' while I'm at it! Soon none will stand before my magical matrimonial might! Toodles, Elmo![Estelle leaves.]**Elmer**... Phew... she's gone. That was probably the weirdest conversation I've ever had. I can't keep up with that girl at all, but... Her magic is so dazzlingly beautiful, and she's really pretty! Oh gosh...**Elmer**...... I wish she'd stop calling me Elmo though...

### B Support

> **Elmer**H-hey Estelle! Did you manage to find Master Ferdinand in the end?**Estelle**I can scarely believe it, but Master Fergil somehow evaded my sublime tracking skills! I suspect he planted false leads! ...Or maybe just visited a vacation house far away. Too mysterious!**Elmer**Oh, maybe I should've gone with you! I'm good at finding clues and solving cases. I had some close friends in Northhaven. We used to play as detectives who would catch thieves dressed up like terrors.**Estelle**I would've easily obliterated those eerie terror creeps! I'm **the** top expert when it comes to making the undead dead again!**Elmer**Uhm, no, it wasn't really terrors. Just adults dressed up and calling us meddling ki-**Estelle**Terrors are real you witless blockhead! What do you think we've been fighting all this time? Stupid silly husband!**Elmer**-ds. You remind me of my friend Darlene, though she used to offer me snacks... W-w-wait, you're still calling me husband?! Er... maybe we could slow things down...?**Estelle**What do you mean, 'slow things down'? I don't know the meaning of slow! I'm the most nimble expert in the world!**Elmer**No no no, uhm... I mean not jumping straight to marriage, you know? Like, maybe we, uhm, could study magical theory together, o-or something like that...? Sound fun?**Estelle**A capital idea, Elmo! I'll teach you the deep intricacies of Lightbringer magic. You'll be blinding those smelly peasants with dazzling radiance in no time flat!**Elmer**Oh, but my chosen magic path is-**Estelle**Quit being such a wimpy dork! I won't be with someone who doesn't work hard, no matter how cute they are!**Estelle**Let's go!!![Estelle leaves.]**Elmer**Okay, I'm on my way, Estelle! Wait, did she just call me cute..?

### A Support

> **Estelle**You're far less scrawny than you used to be, Elmo! Been engaging in fisticuffs up close and personal with these thugs?**Elmer**No, Estelle. I'm a new man! I obtained enlightenment from a tome in Hornheim. A man must go his own way, like a lone wolf! Nothing scares me anymore!**Estelle**Go your own way? Where? Across the sea?**Elmer**N-no, I meant I'm facing the world alone, standing tall like a mounta-**Estelle**ALONE?? Are you breaking up with me? Been perving on another noble lady instead? Lady Amanda maybe, or Lady Hooliga?!**Elmer**I'm not interested in any other women! Only- wait... you make it sound like you're okay with me 'perving' on you...**Estelle**Obviously! Lady Dawn save me, you commoners are so oblivious! We may be married as fellow pupils, but... you've caught this expert's eye lately! In terms of sorcerous expertise, you're almost at my level! And those muscles...**Elmer**Oh jinkies... you really like me back?**Estelle**Mmm. You're a peasant by birth, but you've proven greater than any noble man I've met! Aside from Master Fergil, of course. I've planned it all out! We'll get married in a Lightbringer shrine after knocking Morby out, with Master Fergil officiating. Lady Lilinette can write a play about the Dazzling Duo of Transcendent Thaumaturgy!**Elmer**Jeepers!! Is this really happening? I... I've been dreaming of this for so long! I never thought a girl would see beyond my cracked glasses and share my passion for studying magical scrolls... this is the happiest day of my life![Estelle kisses Elmer.]**Elmer**O-ohhh... my first kiss. I've surely become a real man! Together, Estelle, we'll reach the greatest heights of magic in Aurora!**Estelle**Mmhm. Though, I'll teach you to razzle-dazzle any stupid hooligan standing in our way first! You ready?**Elmer**A true man is always ready!

## Emilia (cut support)

### C Support

> **Estelle**Gasp, a dark mage. I can't believe it!**Emilia**Hmm? What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?**Estelle**I am Estelle, expert on the Lightbringers! And you are a practitioner of Dark Arts!**Emilia**How astutely observed, what gave it away?**Estelle**Your dark robe and witch hat for once!**Emilia**Truly you are an intelligent girl.**Estelle**Correct. You are quite adept at making observations.**Emilia**Did you want something? We're in a battle here.**Estelle**I want you to know that I'm keeping an eye on you! Dark Magic is rooted in evil!**Emilia**Hah. How incredibly naive of you. Magic is neither good or evil. It just... is.**Estelle**The Lightbringers taught us that Light Magic is a gift from the divines. Dark Magic on the other hand comes from the realm of Demons!**Emilia**Yes, I have heard this theory before. It is utterly ridiculous.**Estelle**Then explain to me why you never see Terrors wielding Light Magic.**Emilia**That is soley due to the nature of magic itself.**Estelle**The nature... of magic?**Emilia**You're a scholar of spellcraft and yet you don't even know this fact? Light Magic comes from faith. Anima Magic comes from nature. Dark Magic comes from knowledge.**Estelle**Well, of course I knew that... I AM an expert after all. But... Please tell me more.**Emilia**Hmm. Maybe another time, girl. We should get back to the battle.**Estelle**Alright. I'm looking forward to our next talk!

### B Support

> **Estelle**So... the reason Terrors can't use Light Magic is because they have no... faith?**Emilia**Correct. They are logical beings. Light Magic is thus alien to them.**Estelle**Logical beings? What kind of logic? They attack people on sight.**Emilia**As does wild beasts when encountering human beings out in the wilderness. Does that mean they are unthinking? No, we simply don't understand them.Maybe the Terrors see us as a threat because they cannot communicate.**Estelle**So if Dark Magic is not evil, why do the Divines call it a blight on the soul?**Emilia**Short sighted. They fear that which they do not understand.**Estelle**You would call the mighty Divines short sighted?**Emilia**Maybe not the Divines directly, but certainly their followers. To brand Dark Magic as evil is like blaming a sword for cutting.**Estelle**Do you think... I could learn how to wield Dark Magic?**Emilia**Hmm. It would be challenging. It would require you to think very differently.**Estelle**I would like to learn. How can I call myself an expert unless I master all forms of magic?**Emilia**It is a difficult task to be sure, though not entirely impossible. If you are willing to learn, then I will do my best to teach you. However, it will most likely take you a lot of time to master it.**Estelle**That's alright, I'm an expert. I'll get the hang of it!**Emilia**Hmm. So you say.

### A Support

> **Estelle**Emilia, I've been trying my best to master the spells you taught me.**Emilia**And?**Estelle**I've made no progress. I can't even channel a flicker of dark energy.**Emilia**Don't be so hard on yourself, Estelle. Dark Magic is not for everyone.**Estelle**I've never encountered something I'm not able to do before. I've always been able to master anything I put my mind to.**Emilia**Dark Magic is different. It's not something that can be mastered through hard work. You must simply have a talent for it.**Estelle**So you are saying I'm not talented?**Emilia**Hmm, that's not it. There might be away.**Estelle**What? There is?**Emilia**Indeed, but I'm not sure if you want to try it.**Estelle**Tell me! I'll do anything!**Emilia**You see this vial here?**Estelle**Yes.**Emilia**I want you to drink it.**Estelle**What is inside?**Emilia**Do you really want to know?**Estelle**I think so...**Emilia**The blood of a Gorgon. According to my research, it can attune you to the dark. As long as you have a talent for magic.**Estelle**You want me to drink the blood of... a Terror?**Emilia**It is the price you have to pay if you wish to master the dark arts.**Estelle**.......Alright, I'll do it. Hand it over.**Emilia**Just like that?**Estelle**I can handle it!**Emilia**Very well. Here you go.[Emilia gives the vial to Estelle.]**Emilia**Now drink it all in one go.**Estelle**Ugh... I don't... feel... so good...**Emilia**It will be uncomfortable at first, but don't worry, it will pass.**Estelle**A-Alright. I already... Feel... different....**Emilia**Very good. Now try using your newfound powers.**Estelle**Alright, I will. Thank you, Emilia![Estelle leaves.]**Emilia**She will pay a terrible price for her powers. But it was her choice to accept the deal. I hope she'll enjoy it while it lasts.
