An Underground World

Flayn
To think there is such a vast space hidden beneath the ground. How very creepy.

Linhardt
Hmm, the atmosphere here is very different from the Holy Mausoleum or Holy Tomb. Look at the shapes and the light...

Caspar
It's too strange... It's all really old, but you get the feeling that it's also...new? I don't understand it.

Petra
This decorating is not of Fódlan... What is the meaning here?

Dorothea
I hate the look of things in here. Is this some kind of a city? I would never, ever live here.

Bernadetta
Living underground...all safe and isolated... It sounds really... Um! Really awful!

Ferdinand
An underground city hiding those who slither in the dark. I would not mind finishing up here and returning to the surface with haste.

Seteth
Let us search for a way to descend farther still. We should survey our surroundings carefully.

Rhea
...

Rhea
No. It is simply...

Rhea
We must defeat those who slither in the dark, no matter what happens.

Rhea
But if my conjecture is correct, the one who they will wish to kill the most...

Rhea
Is you, dear child.

Rhea
They are aware that you can use the Sword of the Creator.

Rhea
Your body houses the same power they once bestowed upon Nemesis.

Rhea
That is why I must protect you, no matter what.

Rhea
Even if I must die to do so...

Rhea
Somewhere in your heart, I believe you do understand. You must at least have your suspicions.

Rhea
There is something I have not yet told you, dear child...

Rhea
I swear to illuminate you once this awful battle has concluded.

Rhea
And at the same time... I will offer my apologies to you.

Rhea
I must, because...when you learn the truth, you will also learn what you are, and how you were born into this world.

Rhea
It will be a hard truth to hear. When the time comes, I hope you are prepared for it...
