Melia

...

Shulk

Something bothering you, Melia?

Melia

Forgive me, Shulk. I'm not myself today.

Shulk

That's OK. Hey, look at this!

Shulk

Check out this massive plant.

Shulk

The flora in this region really are something else.
The people back home will never believe the stories!

Melia

They are...quite amazing, yes.

Shulk

Sorry, Melia. I guess you find this stuff kind of boring.

Melia

It's not that. Really, it isn't.
In fact, I think I feel a little better already listening to you.

Shulk

Are you OK? I'm worried...

Shulk

You can talk to me. If you want to, I mean.

Melia

...All right.
Before we all met, it was at this spot I lost four of my brethren.

Shulk

Oh... I didn't realise. It was that Telethia, right?

Melia

Yes.
The four men had been my shield since I was a little girl.
They were kind and considerate... and my friends. How I miss them...

Shulk

It sounds like you were close.
Fighting for your life was a part of who they were, though.

Melia

Yes. I know that now.
But I shall never forget their sacrifice.
It will stay with me for as long as I live.

Shulk

Oh, good! You do like plants!

Melia

Erm... I have to say, that's not exactly what I meant.

Shulk

Well...if you say so.

Melia

Hmph...
You're not going to ask me what is wrong?

Shulk

If you've cheered up, then I guess I don't need to know. Besides...
I'm not too good at knowing when to ask and when to keep quiet.

Melia

Haha! I can tell.
But it's all right.
You've turned the gloomy cloud over my head into sunshine.
Just being here with you is enough for me. Thank you.

Shulk

What's wrong?

Melia

...It happened before I met you.
In this spot, my four protectors laid down their lives for me.

Shulk

Really? I didn't know...
Was it when you fought the Telethia?

Melia

Yes. Until that day, the four of them accompanied me everywhere.
They were true friends to me. I grieve for them deeply...

Shulk

I bet you got on their nerves.

Melia

How can you say such a thing?! I was the perfect companion.

Shulk

Haha. I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.
I forgot you're way more grown up than someone like me.

Melia

You think I'm grown up?
It is possible I troubled them by acting beyond my years.
I found it hard hidden away in that stuffy Imperial Villa.

Shulk

Cooped up in there? I can imagine.
But I'm sure they cared for you deeply, Melia. Don't feel bad.

 

 

+300

Melia

I know they did.
And their sacrifice to save me will not be forgotten. That I promise.
I shall remember them forever.

Shulk

They sound like great people.

 

 

+50

Melia

They were indeed.
I have spent the bulk of my life hidden away in the Imperial Villa.
They took care of me for all that time.

Shulk

You must have been close.
It's sad to lose people like that.

Melia

Shulk, will you help me? I want to give them a proper sending off.

Shulk

Of course. We'll do it together, you and me.

Melia

Thank you, Shulk.

Melia

My fallen brethren, I promise to live my life to the fullest.
Look over me as I journey on.
