Main article:Maiden of Miracles/Script

Micaiah,Edward, andLeonardo retreat to their hideout, where they meet up with theDawn Brigade's leadersNolan andSothe. They explain what happened to them, and it is agreed that everyone should leave the city. Micaiah, Edward, Leonardo, and Nolan make their way to a market in a nearby alley to make their escape. They battle their way through Begnion patrols led byIsaiya and break through the enemy forces.

After regrouping with Sothe, the Dawn Brigade only manages to escape when several villagers, includingNico, block the pursuing soldiers. However, Micaiah suddenly has a premonition of misfortune and doubles back just in time to witness the soldiers shoot Nico in cold blood. Micaiah uses herSacrifice ability to heal Nico's wounds, and Sothe takes her and flees.Jarod arrives on the scene, kills three defiant villagers, and bitterly bemoans the incompetence of his subordinates. As the Dawn Brigade makes their escape, Micaiah vows to return to Nevassa someday.

Beginning log

Tellius – The year 648 – Early summer. The northeastern nation of Daein lost a bloody war with neighboring Crimea three years ago. Crimea, however, abdicated its right to rule Daein and passed sovereignty of its former enemy to the powerful Begnion Empire. Daein's future is now subject to the whims of the empire. Begnion's occupations forces have gathered all of Daein's men of fighting age and put them to work in labor camps. Their work is brutal and void of purpose, designed to break both body and spirit. The remaining population faces poverty and starvation as the fields lie fallow. A band of young heroes has escaped the Begnion army to form a group called the Dawn Brigade. Fighting for a free Daein, they alone have stood against Begnion's forces. They alone have shouldered the hopes of their nation. Among the company is a young girl named Micaiah, who is said to possess mystical powers. The people of Daein have come to know her as the "Silver-Haired Maiden." They have come to think of her as the savior for whom they had been waiting. Begnion's forces have tried time and time again to capture and silence the Dawn Brigade. However, Micaiah's ability to sense impending danger has thus far allowed the Dawn Brigade to evade the empire's grasp.

Strategy

Your new unit is Nolan, a Fighter. He has surprisingly good bulk for his class, and will serve the Dawn Brigade extremely well as one of their tanks. He also gets a unique weapon in the western version, Tarvos, which gives him +5 Defense and makes him a viable contender for the endgame.

On Easy difficulty, this is a simple defeat boss map. Push Nolan and Edward forward immediately to clear space, send Micaiah with them to launch magic strikes from the back line, and have Leonardo visit the first house before rejoining the main squad. The same basic strategy you used last chapter will serve you well here. Make sure to pick up the Hand Axe in the central house before dispatching the boss. On Normal and Hard, this is instead a timed escape map. The general strategy is the same, but you will need to be more aggressive to take out the boss and get out in time. Note that there is no reward for escaping with anyone except Micaiah.
