Doctor, would you like to study the languages and lifestyles of tribal Sargon with me? It'll be harder than combat training, for sure.

I bear a duty to my tribe, and I will see it through to the end. Tribal heritage is a pretty distant thing to a girl who grew up in Columbia, but the doubts of a few lords ameer won't discourage me!

Isn't Kestrel's weapon just awesome? The way she wields it is so different from any other weapon. I'd love to spar with her, to learn her style, when I get the chance.

Uh… thank you. I'm having a hard time getting used to this Sargonian alcohol. I miss Columbian kale soda.

That's true. I've lost a few fights with those ameeri guards, and sometimes it wasn't even close. But there's still time, I'll get my chance.

The padishahs and local warriors look down on Columbian composite swords, just because they're designed for urban combat. But I'll show them the potential of combining modern technology with traditional tactics someday.

Remember, it's vital to stay hydrated, Doctor. Once you spend a whole month in the wilds of Sargon, during the dry season, without seeing so much as the mirage of an oasis… you'll get it.

At first, there weren't many tribes who believed I'm actually descended from the Qarnsayf. Can't blame them, considering how the legend has faded from history. You believed me from the start? Oh… I mean, thank you…

My dream is to host a martial arts tournament in Sargon, and gather all the warriors from all the lands, so they can share in the glory of the Qarnsayf. You should come too, and bring the best of Rhodes Island with you! Yeah, it's a promise, Doctor!

You can rest safely here. We're not in the wilds.

Hello, Doctor. I'm Hadiya, descendant of the Sargonian Qarnsayf tribe. I've come to study at Rhodes Island in order to overcome the challenges that the wilds have set for me.

Sargon warriors say that combat is the way to grow, but I can learn in this way too. Let's get started.

I'm still a very long way from my goal, but please accept my gratitude.

You honor my tribe when you honor me. Thank you for the recognition.

An opportunity to try out some new moves.

Like the wilds of Sargon, the battlefield is more dangerous than it looks. Make sure you know what you're doing.

Is your equipment ready? It all comes down to this—time to fight!

Which weapon would you like to be on the receiving end of?

My turn, finally.

What tactics do you want me to use?

I hope it's a worthy foe.

Do you know what these horns signify?

In the name of the Qarnsayf!

In the name of the wilds!

I have more than one weapon.

Take this!

I always knew I would win a memorable victory someday.

Victories like these are what Sargonian warriors live for.

No, I can't be content with the limitations of my sword. For the sake of my tribe.

Defeat is but the herald of victory. Let's pull back for now.

Ah… It's been a long time since I've had a solid roof over my head.

Be careful, or my horns might hurt you.

Curious about my sword? Here, try it out. Oh, and be careful about the spring blade in the staff.

Arknights.

Happy New Year, Doctor. How would you like to celebrate the holiday? Are we going with Sargonian tradition, or Columbian custom, or do you have some other arrangement in mind? Either way, I'm with you.

What challenge do you have for me today, Doctor?

Today is your birthday, and I think it would do you good to set work aside for a while and go out for a walk. The landscapes of Sargon are spectacular, but you didn't seem to have time for them. Come, consider today's excursion my gift to you.

Looks like we're both a step closer to our goal. Let's celebrate this with a Columbian high-five! We've got a long way to go in the days to come.
