Part 14: Chapter 2 Sacred Phase

Where were we? About to do business with Freya.





Our current situation is...

The enemy is fighting ferociously. We must take care.

Do you wish to know the status of our Einherjar?

Ooh, let's see how Llewelyn is doing, shall we?



As someone mentioned before, there are little blurbs about the Einherjar to be seen by pressing X over the blue or red feats. Let's see what dropped his Hero value.



Um... the ocean is, uh...

Huh? What's wrong?

...not too comfortable about...

Huh? What did you say?

I can't... hmphmm...

I can't hear you. Speak up!!!

I said I can't swim.

What??!



Darn it Llewelyn.



Battles are far less exciting. They're basically a description of what's going on, and they aren't specific to any one Einherjar.







I want you to ambush them. Hurry and make preparations!!





And finally, special Aesir might stop by to congratulate our Einherjar.



No sir, not at all.

Keep up the good work. Your efforts here will have a big effect on the war here on Asgard.

Yes, I understand. I'll do my best.

And that's it for Llewelyn. Let's see how Belenus made out.



...And in one fell swoop, Belenus instantly proves Llewelyn's inferiority.

Scenes:



Think you so? I myself know not of such things...

I thought you would answer as such.

---



...And in one fell swoop, Thor instantly proves Belenus' inferiority in facial hair.

Ah, thank you, my Lord. I shall try to live up to your hopes.

Good. I expect much of you indeed.

---

And now for the battle:



We have allowed enemy spies to infiltrate us. They have stolen secret information as well as several artifacts. Go to the Elvia Plains and follow them. Destroy the enemy unit to prevent them from handing over this information and retrieve the artifacts.



Have a speedy Einherjar take the shortcut through the mountains. It is a dangerous path, but it will save time. Attack the enemy from two sides.



Alright, that's enough gossip. Let's see how we did overall.

Lenneth, about your performance...

It is magnificent.



The Lord Odin is pleased with you.



There's some nice stuff in there, though the real standout is likely that second Emerald Necklace.

Lenneth, I have a request to make of you...



We need an Einherjar who can gather intelligence. Send us an Einherjar skilled at reconnaissance.

May Fate guide your hand. I pray for your good fortune.



Chapter 3! Let's do our usual rounds of Concentrations.



Listen: Spiritual Concentration 6

"Kashell, look out!"

"It's a miracle! They left this one intact!"

"Behold the Grand Sting, forged from the very brilliance of the blue sky. By its power the absolute evil of these grounds is contained."

"But that doesn't mean we should just throw our lives away!"

"Come on out! Show your face."

"See? You're not the only one who's sad. But you have to be strong."

"I can't stand to hear kids cry."



Listen: Spiritual Concentration 7

"Do you know what a Lapis is?"

"Yes, but this isn't a normal one. It's special."

"Do you think I'm silly?"

"No... thanks for the encouragement."

"Fuyuki, if you found the Cerulean Lapis, what would you wish for?"

"I was such a fool."

"Lapis! Grant my heart's desire!"

"Goodbye, Fuyuki. I'm sorry I lied to you."



Listen: Spiritual Concentration 8

"I'd follow any of the King's orders."

"I am so proud of you, my son! You have been knighted... made part of the King's inner circle...!"

"I did not run from my duty!"

"Hah! That coward... He ran away with his tail between his legs!"

"Ahahahaha!"



Since we have more than two Einherjar this time, I'm allowing for multiple votes; whoever gets the highest number will get visited first, then whoever's next will go second, and so on.

So, vote away.
