* Seth: We're approaching Serafew, at the border of Renais and Grado. Once we cross, we'll be in Grado... Renvall won't be much farther.
* Eirika: That is, assuming we can cross the border without mishap... Oh! Look! Over there!(Monsters appear throughout the map)
* Eirika: Those strange figures... What... What are they? Are they...human?
* Seth: I've never seen anything like it. What could they be? (In the village to the south)
* Artur: What have we done to deserve the trials before us? What is happening to us? How could such abominations walk our lands while the Sacred Stones protect us?
* Lute:......
* Artur: Lute, please, it's dangerous outside the walls. Stay here in the village.
* Lute: Those are revenants, aren't they? They were the vanguard of the Demon King in the days of darkness. The Tome of Nazania describes them in chapter 2, section 7, paragraph 8.
* Artur: You know of them?
* Lute: Duh! I'm a prodigy. I can recall most everything I see or hear. According to the book, revenants attack using razor-sharp claws. Sounds painful, wouldn't you say?
* Artur: Yes, er, well... Be that as it may, I must go aid those travelers outside. You should stay here within the safety of the village.
* Lute: Very well. I don't mind staying here. In fact, it seems the smarter choice.(Artur leaves)
* Lute: Magic is far more powerful than any monster's claws. The thickest hide and strongest armor are useless against magic's power. Yes, I suppose I could have studied swords, but only magic is worthy of me. Even if this village were to be assaulted by monsters, I could defend it perfectly. (Artur runs up to Eirika's group)
* Artur: Travelers, you must listen to me! The ancient forest of Za'ha is dangerous. Head south and pass through this place before the fiends surround you!
* Eirika: Who are you?
* Artur: My name is Artur. The temple has assigned me the task of cleansing the forest of these...things. There are so many of the fiends, though. I wonder if I stand much chance alone. So if you would, please flee now while you have the chance.
* Eirika: Fiends? You're not talking about the same fiends that served the ancient Demon King? That can't be right... They're nothing but legends and fairy tales...
* Artur: Yes, I felt the same when I heard. And yet here they are. This place is filled with them. I wonder how far they've spread... Surely they're not in Renais alone.
* Eirika: But...why are they here? How?
* Seth: Beware, Your Highness! Something approaches!(A Mogall flies up to them.)
* Artur: Please allow me to deal with this. Evil shade! May the blessed light drive you from this land!(Artur crits and kills the Mogall)
* Seth: We ought to help. He can’t fight them all alone. Do you have orders?
