Plot

Main articles:New Resolve/Script (Eliwood) andNew Resolve/Script (Hector)

Eliwood and the others leave theDread Isle and return toBadon.Lyn,Ninian, andNils talk about the last time they were together, andHector asks that the conversation change, as he was not present for their first meeting. Nils begins to describe his and Ninian's time on theDread Isle;Elbert set them free when they were captured and they escaped by boat, but Nils was thrown overboard in a storm and Ninian lost herself without him. Nils explains thatNergal wants the twins as they can open theDragon's Gate, and that Nergal can usequintessence—"the essence of life itself"—to call dragons; Nergal was attempting to orchestrate a war inLycia to generate a great amount of quintessence, but instead gained what he needed from Elbert and hisPheraean knights. Nils continues to recount his with Elbert, who kept their spirits up in captivity. Eliwood breaks down again at the conversation, and the others, sans Ninian, leave him some time alone. Eliwood and Ninian mourn their troubles together, but this is interrupted by Ninian sensing enemies nearby.

Outside, Lyn, Hector, and Nils discuss the current status of Nergal. Nils states that the wound Elbert gave Nergal will not be fatal, as Nergal can use quintessence to heal wounds quickly and prevent aging. Nils then senses enemies nearby; Eliwood exits the nearby tavern and prepares to end the fight quickly to avoid endangering the villagers.

At the start of the battle, Ninian attempts to leave the tavern and assist Eliwood. Nils tries to stop her but Ninian insists as she still feels responsible for Elbert's death. Nils relents and transferrs his power to her so she can aid Eliwood. Ninian leaves the tavern and finds Eliwood; Eliwood is reluctant to allow her to fight, but Ninian demonstrates her dancing which convinces Eliwood to allow her to join the battle.

Once theBlack Fang are routed, Eliwood begins determining their next course of action. Eliwood comes to the conclusion that they should meet with Hector's older brother,Uther; Hector is slightly worried about this, as he has neglected to send Uther correspondence during their travels to Valor. Eliwood lightens up and teases Hector, and Lyn finds their shenanigans amusing.

Marcus takes Eliwood aside for a moment to mention he has contactedEleanora about the death of her husband at his own discretion due to Eliwoods distress. Eliwood thanks Marcus for this. Eleanora's guard,Isadora, then arrives to tell them that Eleanora has received word of Elbert's death. Isadora delivers the message "Obey your father's dying wish" and agrees to travel with Eliwood.

Elsewhere, Nergal is still recovering from the wound Elbert inflicted. Nergal commands Sonia to mobilize theFour Fangs to kill Eliwood as "compensation", and commands Limstella to gather quintessence to heal his wound.

Hannah's Augury

Price:60

Intro:This place, it makes my bones ache... You need to care for your elders, not take them to horrible places! What's that? Speak up! Oh, yes... The augury. Augury:This battle will be fought in darkness, so thieves are good. Torches or light-bringing staves are also good. Bow wielders... Archers or snipers should come along. Antitoxin...the Sleep staff. These are heartening items. I can tell you nothing more.
