__**Fallen Brethren (Makna Forest - Agni Tablet)**__

Melia: …\\ 
Shulk: Something bothering you, Melia?\\ 
Melia: Forgive me, Shulk. I’m not myself today.\\ 
Shulk: __[That’s OK. Hey, look at this!]__ – Check out this massive plant. 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: __[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.\\

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…]__ + You can talk to me. If you want to, I mean.\\ 
Melia: … All right. Before we all met, it was at this spot that 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.\\ 

Melia: …\\ 
Shulk: Something bothering you, Melia?\\ 
Melia: Forgive me, Shulk. I’m not myself today.\\ 
Sulk: __[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.\\ 
Melia: I know they did. And their sacrifice to save me will not be forgotten. That I promise. I shall remember them forever.\\

Melia: Yes. Until that day, the four of them accompanied me everywhere. They were true friends to me. I grieve for them deeply…\\ 
Shulk: __[They sound like great people.]__ +\\ 
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. //My fallen brethren, I promise to live my life to the fullest. Look over me as I journey on.//
