Premonition

(Cutscene: A young woman by the name of Marissa fighting against a dark figure. Fighting alongside her was the spirit of a man, her age, yet fighting with immense skill. The two fight as the dark figure escapes their blow.)

???: Behind you!

(Marissa turns around and blocks the attack as she continues to fight with the dark figure. She fights with strength she didn’t know she had until recently, and as Marissa and the mysterious spirit fight together, the dark figure hovers above them, about to unleash a powerful attack.)

???: Look out!

(The spirit shields Marissa from the attack as the camera zooms in on the dark figure, who’s frustrated to no end.)

(End cutscene.)

(Shifts to gameplay, yet dialogue continues.)

???: Well, this is it. The final battle. We’ve made it this far, thanks to you, Marissa. Now, let’s end this!

(Gameplay begins)

(Once the dark figure is reached:)

Dark Figure: Struggle all you want, fools! It matters not! I am the end!

(After the dark figure is defeated:)

(Cutscene: The dark figure falls to the ground as an enormous dragon falls from the sky.)

???: I-It’s over. It’s finally over.

(Suddenly, a wing of the dragon hits Marissa in the face, launching her away from the spirit and knocking her unconscious. The screen goes black, and the only thing the player hears is the spirit shouting Marissa’s name.

???: Marissa! Marissa!!

(End cutscene)

Prologue

(Cutscene: The camera shows what’s left of the Halidom of Ylisse. Scene shifts to an orphanage. All of the children are asleep. It’s quiet, when all of a sudden, one of the children hears a soft whisper. It was calm and kind, yet had a sense of urgency to it.)

???: Marissa…

(Suddenly, Marissa wakes up as she looks around. She had always heard that voice all her life, but recently, it was sounding more urgent, almost as if it was trying to tell her something. When she would acknowledge the voice and ask what it wanted, she would always be met with silence.)

Marissa (in her mind): That voice again. What could it want?

(Marissa gets up as she gets ready for the day. Today was her 16th birthday, which was also the day where she would interact with the legendary Blade of Light, the Falchion. She knew that the stories she heard about the legend of the Ylissean prince or princess was just a myth, but she still had a sense of uneasiness about it. As she continued to think about it, she heard the voice again.)

???: Marissa…

Marissa: Huh?

(Marissa turns around, but still doesn’t find the source of the voice. What did the voice want? And why was it only calling her name? Once she was finished getting ready, she walked down the stairs as she saw her childhood friend, Leah, already downstairs.)

Marissa: L-Leah. What are you doing awake?

Leah: I wanted to give you something before you headed off to the castle. Happy Birthday, Marissa.

(Leah hands Marissa a gift box. Marissa opens it, and inside was a brooch with a shining red stone on it.)

Marissa: A-A brooch?

Leah: It’s a replica of the one worn by the Hero-King Marth.

Marissa (smiling): Th-Thank you, Leah. But you know that the Hero-King is just a myth, right?

Leah: True, but real or not, you have the determination and the bravery that the Hero-King had.

(Suddenly, Marissa notices the time, and realizes she’ll be late if she doesn’t move it.)

Marissa: Ah! I have to go! Bye, Leah!

Leah: Good luck!

(Cut to black. As the camera fades back in, Marissa is in the Ylissean castle, waiting her turn to draw the Falchion. Finally, it is her turn.)

Grimleal soldier: State your name, girl.

Marissa: M-Marissa, sir.

(The soldier studies Marissa, realizing something that Marissa doesn’t realize. Suddenly, a smile of confidence spreads on his face.)

Grimleal soldier: Draw the sword.

(Marissa’s heart pounds hard against her chest as she stares at the sword. It looked just like the pictures from the stories she read as a child. She gets nervous, but asks herself what she has to worry about. She picks up the sword, when suddenly, a blinding light emits from the blade. Marissa whimpers as she shields her eyes.)

Marissa: Wh-What’s happening?!

(Suddenly, Marissa hears the voice again.)

???: Well done, Marissa. You have proven yourself worthy.

Marissa: Who… Who are you?!

???: Meet me in the Tomb of the Hero-King. I will explain everything there.

(The light dies down as the soldier walks towards her.)

Grimleal soldier: So, you’re the princess.

Marissa: P-Princess?! No, i-it can’t be!

(Suddenly, an arm grabs Marissa. She gasps as she looks at the figure. It was an old woman in a hood. The woman spoke with a soft accent that Marissa had not heard very much in her life.)

Old Woman: Come with me, Child! Quickly! You’re not safe here!

Marissa: Wait, who are you?

Old Woman: There’s no time for that now! Hurry!

(Not sure what else to do, Marissa follows the woman as the two try to make it out.)

(End cutscene. Switches to gameplay, but dialogue continues.)

Marissa: They’ve blocked off the exit! We’re trapped!

Old Woman: Not yet! We may have to fight our way out, but we still stand a chance!

Marissa: F-Fight? But I’ve never used a sword before!

Old Woman: Don’t doubt yourself, child. You possess more strength than you know.

Marissa (trying to process): More… strength?

Old Woman: Ready your blade! They’re moving forward!

(Gameplay begins)

(Once Marissa reaches the boss:)

Enemy Captain: This is your last warning, Princess. Surrender now, or face the consequences.

(Once the battle is over:)

Marissa: We made it out.

Old Woman: Quick, child. I’ll take you where we’ll be safe.

(Fades to black)

(Cutscene: A Grimleal soldier kneels down to a dark figure.)

Grimleal soldier: Master Grima, we have finally found the princess. She is a girl named Marissa. However, she escaped with a mysterious old woman, taking the Falchion with her.

(The dark figure speaks, his voice reverberated.)

Dark Figure: Yes, very agitating indeed. But it matters not. I watched her as she fought. She doesn’t stand a chance against my might.

(The dark figure laughs cruelly as the scene fades to black.)

(End cutscene)
