| - (At the throne room)
* Bandit: B-Boss! An army's invading our cave!
* Henning: What! How many of them are there?
* Bandit: Dunno, Boss. I hope there aren't too many of them...
* Henning: That's strange... The Lycia marquesses should be having bigger problems than dealing with bandits like us.
* Bandit: Well? What do we do?
* Henning: They probably don't know much about this cave, anyway. Just lure them into stepping on the floor tiles where hot lava spurts and get rid of 'em. (On the Lycian Army's side)
* Lilina: Roy, over here! The Divine Weapon is located on the other side of this lava pit.
* Roy: Lilina, are you all right? Have you calmed down?
* Lilina: Well... maybe I'm not fully all right, but now isn't the time to be sad. I need to protect Ostia, like my father before me.
* Roy: All right... Good for you, Lilina.(Roy leaves)
* Lilina: I'm okay because you're with me, Roy...(Roy returns)
* Roy: What? Did you just say something?
* Lilina: No, nothing. Anyway, I'll tell you what I know about this Divine Weapon. The one here is the sword that was used by Roland, one of the 'Eight Heroes.'
* Roy: That Roland... is that King Roland, the first king of Ostia?
* Lilina: Right, he's our ancestor. This sword is called 'The Blazing Sword,' or the Durandal.
* Roy: The Durandal... the name has a strange echo to it. So Roland used the Durandal to fight the Dragons during the Scouring.
* Lilina: That's how the legend goes. They also say that after the war ended, Roland returned to his hometown of Ostia. He raised the Durandal high above his head, and the land that had become barren after the war suddenly became lush with vegetation and life again.
* Roy: Wow... that must be some sword.
* Lilina: Well, it's a weapon that can defeat Dragons. It must have some special powers in it.
* Roy: Yes... Oh yeah, I heard that a group of bandits has made its base here. Is it going to be all right?
* Lilina: ? Is what going to be all right?
* Roy: I mean, there's always the chance that they might have taken the Durandal.
* Lilina: No, don't worry. Only those who are Roland's successors know how to remove the Durandal from its sheath.
* Roy: Oh, okay. Then everything is fine. All we have to do is to get rid of the bandits and obtain the Durandal.
