Aversa: Milord? Chrom: What is the meaning of this? Why do your hierophant and Avatar-- Aversa: I'm afraid we've no time for such trivial matters now, Your Highness. We have aid preparations to attend to, and you have a long, hard journey ahead. Oh, and do be careful on your way back to Port Ferox. This time of year the highroads of Plegia can be quite treacherous... Scene fades to black, then opens again to show the Avatar standing alone in a forest, having stepped away from camp. Avatar: ...... It's no use. I can't sleep. Who was that man/woman? How could he/she bear my same face? ???: Avatar... Heed me, Avatar... Avatar: Huh? Who's there?! T-there's no one. I'm alone... ???: Heed my call, Avatar... The Avatar staggers, clutching at their head in agony as the screen blurs. Avatar: Nngh... This voice is... in my head? Who are you?! What's happening?! Validar: Why do you close your heart to him, Avatar? Avatar: V-Validar? Validar: Have you truly forgotten? Avatar: You were... calling me... Augh! My head! Get out of my mind. Validar: Heh heh. Such arrogance! You dare take such a tone... with your own father?! Avatar: ...My what? Validar: You are of my flesh, but of sacred blood. You are to serve a glorious purpose! Search deep in your heart. You already know it is your destiny... Avatar: No... Get... out... Validar: Why do you resist us, Avatar? Your rightful place is at my side. Not wasting your time with these doomed servants of Naga! Give yourself to Grima! Let me join your strength to the fell dragon! Chrom: Avatar! Validar: ...Pah! Not this one again... No matter. In time you will see the truth. And that is all it will be--a matter of time... Validar vanishes. Chrom: Avatar! Are you all right? I heard shouting. Avatar: (gasping in pain) Nngh... Ahh... Ahh... I-I think so... Yes, Chrom, thank you. I'm... I'm fine. Chrom: "Fine" is a poor choice of words! What's happened?! Avatar: ...King Validar, he... He spoke to me... in my mind. He said I was his... his son/daughter. Chrom: What?! ...Is this true? Avatar: I don't know... But I also don't know it's a lie. Loath as I am to say it, I felt a... a strange connection, between us. Chrom: Oh, gods... That hierophant doppelganger... Could she be the king's son/daughter, as well? Are you twins? Avatar: I... I'm sorry, Chrom. I can't remember... But if I'm being honest... it would explain much... I'm not even sure I want to know the truth of my past anymore. Chrom: You are yourself, before you are any man's son/daughter. Remember that. Avatar: ...Thank you, Chrom. Chrom: Can you walk? Avatar: Yes... yes, I think so. Screen fades out, then back in to show Frederick running up to Chrom and the Avatar. Frederick: Milord, we are under attack! Risen have encircled the camp! Chrom: But... we posted sentries! How did this happen? Frederick: They made a stealthy approach, milord. I've never seen Risen behave like this. Either they are learning our ways, or someone is commanding them... Chrom: Validar! This is his doing--I'm sure of it. Equip anyone who can bear arms, and tell them we fight for our lives!
