They aren't really trying to cross Fódlan's Throat.

Cyril

I'm not saying they're not serious, but fights like this one aren't really invasions.
link
Then what are they doing?
link
Cyril
volume_up

They just start fights like this sometimes. It's so they can show off how strong they are.
link
Cyril
volume_up

I think it's pretty dumb. I mean, people are getting killed! And why? So some guy can think he's tough?
link
Cyril
volume_up

After every fight, they do a big feast, and everybody eats and dances and there's music...
link
Cyril
volume_up

It's supposed to honor the dead, but I figure they just like to make noise.
link
Cyril
volume_up

I think they're all idiots, but if I'm real honest, it wasn't the worst way to live life.
link
Feeling homesick?
link
Cyril
volume_up

Nah, I'm where I belong now, and I don't really like Almyra.
link
Cyril
volume_up

If they wanna show how tough they are, then they oughta look after kids who've lost their parents.

Hilda

Whew, I'm tired. Professor, Cyril, thanks for all your help.
link
Cyril
volume_up

You get a chance to see your brother?
link
Hilda
volume_up

I did. Though I think I'd be better off otherwise.
link
Hilda
volume_up

He was horribly ill, for one thing. He looked so pale and haggard.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Apparently he'd eaten a bad mushroom before the battle and it made him horribly sick. What an idiot.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Anyway, when I told him we'd handled the Almyran situation, he was just gushing with praise.
link
Hilda
volume_up

I tried telling him that it wasn't all me, but he didn't even listen.
link
Weren't you glad to get praise from your brother?
link
Hilda
volume_up

That did feel pretty good, I'll admit. But then things got awkward.
link
Hilda
volume_up

He started trying to pawn off his whole inheritance. I told him I wanted none of it!
link
Hilda
volume_up

Eventually he settled for foisting this thing on me. Do you know what it is?
link
Cyril
volume_up

One heck of an axe. He gave it to ya?
link
Hilda
volume_up

Yes. It's a magic axe called Freikugel. It's the Hero's Relic of House Goneril.
link
Hilda
volume_up

He said that I should have it, since the Crest I bear will allow me to wield it.
link
Hilda
volume_up

He was so insistent, I eventually relented. But I don't think I can be responsible for something so precious.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Hey, Professor... Why don't you take it instead?
link
Hilda
volume_up

Heroes' Relics contain terrifying power. They're beyond the capabilities of a novice like me.
link
Hilda
volume_up

You're the only person I trust to take care of it. Please, help me out here!
link
Hilda
volume_up

Thank you so much! I honestly didn't know what I was going to do with this thing!
link
Hilda
volume_up

A big scary axe is not my style.
link
Hilda
volume_up

Plus, look closely—parts of the axe are pulsating, like it's alive! How gross is that?
link
Hilda
volume_up

But I'll use it if you tell me to, Professor. Or you can get somebody else to wield it, if you like.
link
Hilda
volume_up

It's all up to you now!

That Hilda... She really is something.
