Who is it?! Is that... It's you!
link
Seteth
volume_up

Yes, it has been... But this is no time for casual chatter!
link
Seteth

I was going to ask you the very same thing.
link
Seteth
volume_up

After you disappeared five years ago, do you have any idea how dire the church's situation became?
link
Seteth
volume_up

Where were you and what were you doing all of those years?
link
I was sleeping.
link
Seteth
volume_up

You slept for five years... In that case, I suppose there is nothing more to say.

Seteth

You should know that Rhea also disappeared after the battle at Garreg Mach five years ago.
link
Seteth

Since then, the knights have been fully devoted to searching for her. They have yet to find a trace.
link
Seteth

It is possible. However, the Empire has not made any such statement as of yet.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Even if that were the truth, there is no way for us to confirm.
link
Seteth
volume_up

We have searched all over, but we have reached an impasse.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Unless we do something, our efforts to find Rhea and rebuild the church will be stalled indefinitely.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Our opportunity to strike back is close at hand... Sadly, we are short on military strength.
link
Seteth
volume_up

However... Now we have you.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Do you recall what Rhea told you five years ago?
link
Seteth
volume_up

She asked for you to take her place should anything ever happen to her. She entrusted you with leading the people of Fódlan.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Then I beg of you... Please, heed her words.
link
Seteth
volume_up

I will not accept that. Please...you must lend me your strength.
link
Seteth
volume_up

It is up to you to lead us and to defeat the Empire. No...to defeat Edelgard.
link
Seteth
volume_up

There is a very good reason...but it is not yet time to divulge it. Just know that without you, we have no hope.
link
Seteth
volume_up

It is not for me to do. You are the only one who can rise to this task.
link
Seteth
volume_up

Someday, you will know why that is. Until then, I ask that you trust me.
link
Seteth
volume_up

What are you saying? She is tormenting all of Fódlan!
link
Seteth
volume_up

And you are the only one who can save us! How can you not see that?!

Sir! Bandits have entered the area!
link
Church Soldier

They stole some hidden weapons and ran off!
link
Church Soldier

They're heading for the town, so that might be where they're hiding out...
link
Seteth
volume_up

Vile thieves! Even with the knights gone, I cannot believe they would dare trespass here!
link
Seteth

This is unforgivable! Come, Professor. Let us give chase!
