"Day 5 of the Garland Moon, Year 1157. Clear skies. I picked some flowers for her and returned home."

Sothis

"The look of joy on her face at the sight of these flowers will be even more beautiful than the flowers themselves..." Yeesh! That is enough.

Sothis
volume_up

His entries from before your birth are full of such romantic blatherings as that.

Sothis

Oh... It must be deeply moving you to hear such things, but now is not the time for whimsy. Someone is here.
link
Sothis

You do not wish for them to see you in this state. So pull yourself together!

Claude enters the scene

Claude

I thought I might find you here, Teach.

Claude
volume_up

Not the type to wallow in solitude, eh? That's a relief, let me tell you.
link
Claude
volume_up

So... What were you reading?
link
Claude
volume_up

Is that Jeralt's...
link
Claude
volume_up

So it is.
link
Claude
volume_up

The contents are certainly bittersweet... But I think it's Jeralt's diary.
link
Claude
volume_up

Hey, maybe this has some entries from when Jeralt left the monastery.
link
Claude
volume_up

Is that so...
link
Claude
volume_up

He was the captain of the knights, but something made him leave the monastery in a hurry.
link
Claude
volume_up

If it has something to do with your birth, knowing what happened may get us closer to knowing what secrets the church is hiding...
link
Claude
volume_up

Teach... Would you mind letting me read that diary?
link
Claude
volume_up

I know how important it is to you, but I'm not asking lightly. Please, allow me to borrow it.
link
Claude
volume_up

I'm forever in your debt, Teach. If you'd refused, I would've had to sneak in here in the dead of night. I wasn't looking forward to the prospect.
link
Claude
volume_up

Wait, are you really saying I'm going to have to sneak in here in the dead of night to read it?
link
Claude
volume_up

Anyhow, let me fill you in on what's been going on lately, and not just as thanks for pointing me to that diary.

Claude

Rhea dispatched the knights to various locations in a frantic search for the enemy.
link
Claude
volume_up

There's a rumor that she's already secured some information. Something big is gonna happen soon.
link
Claude
volume_up

That has me wondering... If you find out where the enemy is, what will you do about it?
link
Claude
volume_up

If you ask, I... No, scratch that. All of us students would gladly lend a hand.
link
Claude
volume_up

Even if that means going against Rhea's wishes. Don't forget it.
link
Claude
volume_up

Now go. Everyone's worried about you. You'd better show them you're in good spirits.

Monica, Thales, Flame Emperor enter the scene

Monica
volume_up

Oh, thank you. You saved me!
link
Thales
volume_up

If you were to die, then the mystery of our bodies would be revealed. Preventing that was my only aim.
link
Thales
volume_up

I'm afraid you must remain, Kronya. There is something I need you to do.
link
Monica
volume_up

Oh, of course. I am always happy to cooperate with Solon. Leave it to me.
link
Flame Emperor
volume_up

How annoying.
link
Thales
volume_up

Flame Emperor... Is she offending you? Unfortunately, we cannot take our eyes off her, so there is nothing to be done.
link
Thales
volume_up

You are our greatest creation. We used the defiled beast's blood as the fuel to your flame, that you may burn even the gods.
link
Thales
volume_up

Now is the time to cleanse Fódlan with that power, and bring forth our salvation.
link
Flame Emperor
volume_up

There will be no salvation for you and your kind.
link
Flame Emperor
volume_up

Those responsible for such gruesome deeds in Duscur and Enbarr.
link
Thales
volume_up

All so that you may acquire the strength you need. All for a purpose...
