- Yuri, may I have a word with you?
- Seteth. Did you need something? If you want to
[cdb]talk business, we can go somewhere more private.
- No, it is nothing of the sort. I happened to
[cdb]see you speaking with a scholar earlier.
- I am curious as to the nature of your conversation.
You seemed quite absorbed.
- So you saw that, did you? Well, I suppose you would
[cdb]be familiar with the topic...
- I was trying to learn a little about the legend of the
Ten Elites.
- That is...rather diligent of you. I'm impressed.
- Nothing diligent about it. I just didn't quite receive
[cdb]the same education as my noble peers.
- It's said that the goddess granted the Ten Elites power
[cdb]in the form of Crests, allowing them to defeat the evil
[cdb]that threatened Fódlan.
- That power freed them from the ravages of age,
[cdb]and even saved them from the brink of death.
- So the legend goes. It is also said that some
Crest-bearers live much longer than those without.
- There is even a theory which posits that Nemesis,
[cdb]the King of Liberation, lived for several centuries.
- Is that so...
- I do wonder, however, why such a subject would
[cdb]interest you.
- Hmm... Well, I suppose I can trust you. The truth is,
I wanted to figure out who exactly I am.
- Given your position, I'm sure you know of the
Crest I bear.
- Indeed I do. I must admit, its discovery upon your
[cdb]enrollment at the Officers Academy came as quite
[cdb]a surprise.
- After all, you bear the Crest of Aubin, which was
[cdb]thought to have been lost long ago.
- An exceedingly rare Crest, yet I have no idea where it
[cdb]came from.
- My mother's status being what it is, I don't have
[cdb]the slightest clue who my father is or where he
[cdb]was from.
- I'd never once doubted that I was my mother's son.
But then I found out about my Crest...
- It's made me question everything I've ever known
[cdb]about myself.
- I see... So you yourself do not know the origin of your
Crest.
- But then I'd heard the Ten Elites weren't born with
[cdb]their Crests.
- So I figured that would be a good place to start
[cdb]digging.
- No matter the nature of your Crest, I am certain it
[cdb]was bestowed upon you by the will of the goddess.
- Do not resent the power that dwells within your
[cdb]blood. Cherish it, and you shall find your way.
- Heh, you sound just like the scriptures. But I
[cdb]appreciate the encouragement. Now, if you'll
[cdb]excuse me, I have some business to attend to.
