Fódlan Alternative II

{Part Two: Ascendent Star} Chapter Thirty-Three: Vengeance of Lost Time I

At the start of the following moon, You awaken and begin to prepare for the day's meeting with the other leaders of the army. Seraphine speaks to You along the way.

Seraphine: I must admit... I feel much better now that Bazler is out of the picture. We don't have anywhere near as much to worry about with him dead.

You nod and say that You feel better now that You have been able to talk to Janae about everything too.

Seraphine: She certainly helped to fill us in on a lot... But we're not done yet. We still have to talk to Evenor and figure out what she knows.

You say that will probably have to wait until the next moon. For the time being, You have something else to focus on, and You are looking forward to seeing it through.

Seraphine: You're right... Let's see what the others have to say. I'm certain they'll be able to tell us for certain what our next mission is going to be.

You make your way up to the cardinals' room to speak with the rest of your allies. You greet them upon your arrival.

Aisa: Welcome, Professor.

Cordelia: Perfect timing. We were just planning out our next move... The attack on Enbarr.

Magnolia: We've been needing to do this for a long time, and I'm glad we're finally about to find the time to do it... Argades won't be in control of the Empire for much longer.

Chris: I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes everything he's been planning for is falling apart... Oh, victory will be sweet.

Eli: But we can't get too far ahead of ourselves. He has to know we're coming for him, especially after the battle against Bazler.

Raithius: That's true. Argades is fully aware of what we're up to, and he may have already figured out that his one competition to succeeding the throne is still alive too.

Chris: At this point, if he knows that I'm still alive, then so be it. There's not much we can do to change that if he does know. The best thing we can do is try to fight for the future of the Empire and stop him.

Magnolia: What should we do when we target Enbarr then? I imagine that attacking the capital won't be an easy job, especially with how long Argades has been the only source of power there.

Eli: I believe we at least have a plan of what path to follow to get into the city... After that, it's just a matter of getting to the castle and defeating him.

Aisa: It is true. We should be able to rush through the city all at once with minimal casualties as long as we play our cards properly. The civilians will no doubt get out of the way when they realize who we are and what we have come for.

Cordelia: And once we make it through the streets, we can take the fight directly to Argades himself... It sounds so simple when we say it aloud, but I can already tell it won't be that easy when it comes to actually putting it into motion.

Chris: Probably not, but there's little we can do to change that right now. We'll just have to take the fight to Argades and see where it leads us. It won't be easy, but we need to at least try to put our plans into motion without giving him the time to recover or otherwise push us back.

Magnolia: Until then, the best thing we can do is just tell the rest of our forces what to look out for.

Raithius: I'm sure they'll be able to help us in taking care of Argades as long as we tell them what's going on... From there, everything should fall into place.
