Hoax is a military fortress for the kingdom of Basil. It is on the front line, just north of Lohan. Dart and company arrive here to discuss the evolving war with Imperial Sandora.

Story

Upon arriving at the "town" of Hoax, Shana remarks that the town more closely resembles a fortress. Dart speculates that the war changed it, and Lavitz confirms that its transformation was an unwanted necessity. He recommends proceeding immediately to headquarters to report to Kaiser, the commander of Basil's Eighth Knighthood.

Kaiser is waiting for a group inside of a pub that has been converted to a war room. He expresses his condolences to Lavitz for the loss of the Seventh Knighthood. Lavitz pledges that he will honor the deaths of his troops by ending the war. Kaiser agrees. Lavitz introduces Dart and Shana. Word has traveled fast as Kaiser already recognizes Dart's name for his action at Hellena Prison.

Dart inquires into the standing of the Eighth Knighthood. Kaiser explains that the Knighthood is still preparing for a Sandora attack, emphasizing his concern for the involvement of a Dragon. Lavitz recommends a defensive response over moving to attack Sandora forces when a Dragon might be nearby.

Kaiser agrees and asks Dart and Lavitz to perform guard duty at night while Shana prepares meals for the garrison. Shana accepts and assures Dart that he will love it. Dart can either affirm that he looks forward to it or express skepticism. Either way, the conversation takes a distressing turn for Shana as Lavitz, Dart, and Kaiser all opine that whether or not it tastes good does not matter as long as there is plenty to go around.

Afterward, Dart and Shana leave the headquarters to familiarize themselves with Hoax while Lavitz stays behind to discuss a battle plan with Kaiser. While touring the town, they meet Gilda, a midwife, who asks when they expect to have their baby. Dart is taken aback, so Gilda explains that she presumed they must have wanted advice because they were visiting a famous midwife. Gilda goes on to say that he was the midwife for King Albert's birth. Upon Dart's speculation that she must be familiar with Serdio before the way, she tells him that 20 years ago, King Carlo passed away and Doel, Carlo's younger brother, estranged himself. She speculates that he was not comfortable deferring the throne to Albert, who was only six years old at the time. By the time they return to the headquarters, Kaiser and Lavitz have concluded their meeting.

Kaiser escorts Dart and Lavitz to their guard position, and the pair relieves the lone guard already on watch. Lavitz points out that Sandora will likely wait until nightfall to attack and urges Dart to rest while they still have daylight. That night, Dart muses that the sound of owls and other nocturnal creatures are reassuring because it indicates that there is no disruption in the forest. He decides to take the opportunity to leave the post and get "something," but on the way, the animals in the forest suddenly disperse.

A Sandora attack ensues with Sandora Soldiers coming over the ramparts on the other side of the fort. Dart and Lavitz rush to meet the invaders. During the battle, Dart and Lavitz momentarily split up with Dart moving to confront a particular enemy atop the wall. Lavitz dispatches a pair of soldiers in time to regroup with Dart and confront the Sandora Elite together. Upon slaying him, however, an even more menacing foe approaches from below. A Basil soldier flees in terror. Lavitz identifies the enemy as "giganto" and Dart moves in for battle, declaring that as large and fearsome as he, "he still is not a Dragon."

Despite their best efforts, Kongol overcomes the combined might of both Dart and Lavitz, even after willfully discarding his own weapon. As Dart rushes in for a decisive blow, Kongol easily rebukes him with a single punch. Kongol retrieves his axe and moves to bring it down on a fallen Dart, but the Giganto is distracted by a flying adversary who swoops in from above. In Dragoon form, Rose intercepts and deflects Kongol's axe. She declares to Dart to "wake up." An intense red glow overtakes Dart as Lavitz and Kongol both watch in awe.

Dart transforms into a Dragoon and quickly defeats Kongol with a fearsome tackle while engulfed in fire that sends the Giganto reeling through the air much to Lavitz's astonishment. Dart is just as surprised and looks to Rose for answers as she comes to the ground in her non-transformed state. Kongol and the rest of the surviving Sandora forces quickly retreat.

Dart collapses from the strain of the Dragoon transformation. While he is unconscious, Shana aggressively confronts Rose, suggesting that she did something to Dart. Rose is incredulous that she is being yelled at for saving Dart's life. Dart recovers and recognizes Rose as the passerby who saved him from Feyrbrand. Dart questions the authenticity of their reunification, so Rose confesses that she started following him when she realized that her own Dragoon spirit had responded to him.

Rose shows Dart her Dragoon spirit, which is glowing. Dart retrieves his father's memento, which is actually the Dragoon spirit of the Red-Eyed Dragon, and it glows in unison with Rose's stone. Rose explains that it is Dart's fate to be a Dragoon and rule over Dragons. Dart confesses that he had no idea his father's keepsake had such power.

Lavitz questions how Rose could know any of this information, but she dismisses him. He reiterates the legend of the Dragoons who were victorious in the Dragon Campaign. Rose provides no more insight. When asked if she only saved Dart because he had a Dragoon spirit, Rose confides that they ─ Dart, Lavitz, and Shana ─ remind her of some friends she had. Like the three of them, her friends were strong, decided their own fate, and knew what to fight for and who to protect. These descriptions echo conversations that Dart and the others had when Rose was not apparently present, such as the one they had on the balcony at Indels Castle.

Shana delicately asks about the condition of Rose's friends, and Rose tells her that they are dead now. Shana apologizes and sympathetically realizes that she may have misjudged Rose too quickly.

Suddenly, a voice calls for Kaiser. A soldier of Basil arrives in Hoax to deliver news that the Seventh Fort in the Marshland is under attack by the Dragon. Two more Knighthoods, the Tenth and Thirteenth, have almost been destroyed. Lavitz asks where the Dragon came from, and the messenger divulges that there is a nest in the vicinity of the Volcano Villude. Lavitz implores Kaiser to muster troops to march against Feyrbrand. Rose suggests otherwise, explaining that the only people with the power to kill a Dragon are Dragoons. Dart accepts the task with Rose determining to join him and the others.

As the party departs Hoax, they overhear Basil troops recounting the events of the previous night. At least one soldier even declares Dart to be a messiah. Rose is not so sure since Dart is a fledgling Dragoon. She offers to train him to use his new power, and then the four of them proceed to confront Feyrbrand.

 '''Hoax''' is a military fortress for the kingdom of [[Basil]]. It is on the front line, just north of [[Lohan]]. Dart and company arrive here to discuss the evolving war with [[Sandora|Imperial Sandora]].
+|Story1=Upon arriving at the "town" of Hoax, [[Shana]] remarks that the town more closely resembles a fortress. [[Dart]] speculates that the war changed it, and [[Lavitz]] confirms that its transformation was an unwanted necessity. He recommends proceeding immediately to headquarters to report to [[Kaiser]], the commander of Basil's Eighth Knighthood.
-|Story1=
+Kaiser is waiting for a group inside of a pub that has been converted to a war room. He expresses his condolences to Lavitz for the loss of the Seventh Knighthood. Lavitz pledges that he will honor the deaths of his troops by ending the war. Kaiser agrees. Lavitz introduces Dart and Shana. Word has traveled fast as Kaiser already recognizes Dart's name for his action at [[Hellena Prison]].
+|Story2=Dart inquires into the standing of the Eighth Knighthood. Kaiser explains that the Knighthood is still preparing for a [[Sandora]] attack, emphasizing his concern for the involvement of [[Feyrbrand|a Dragon]]. Lavitz recommends a defensive response over moving to attack Sandora forces when a Dragon might be nearby.
-The party arrives in Hoax, and Lavitz tells the others they need to meet with [[Kaiser]], leader of the Eighth Knighthood. Dart and Shana comment on how the war caused the town's fortified appearance, to which Lavitz briefly notes the change was unwanted but necessary, and then has the party refocus and head into the war room to meet Kaiser.
+Kaiser agrees and asks Dart and Lavitz to perform guard duty at night while Shana prepares meals for the garrison. Shana accepts and assures Dart that he will love it. Dart can either affirm that he looks forward to it or express skepticism. Either way, the conversation takes a distressing turn for Shana as Lavitz, Dart, and Kaiser all opine that whether or not it tastes good does not matter as long as there is plenty to go around.
-Lavitz greets Kaiser in the war room, with Kaiser showing concern for Lavitz's unit being wiped out. Lavitz laments it, feeling the loss was his fault, but remains optimistic in winning the war while introducing Dart and Shana. Kaiser is excited to see Dart as he heard the younger man had rescued Lavitz. Dart asks for the mission briefing, and Kaiser notes the main concern is the [[dragon|Feyrbrand]] Sandora is said to wield. Lavitz suggests it is unwise to go looking for the dragon without more information, and it is better to prepare defenses in Hoax while watching for what Sandora will do next. Dart notes they will have to be fast in detecting the enemy. Kaiser agrees with Dart and Lavitz, so he suggests the two of them stand night watch. He notes it is unwise for Shana to go as well, so Kaiser asks her to cook for the the knights. Shana agrees and excitedly tells Dart that he will enjoy the food - Lavitz is hesitant about Shana's cooking, a feeling shared by Dart, who is less than convincing in his attempts to pretend otherwise. Either way, Kaiser attempts to diffuse the situation to similarly poor effect, but ultimately the matter is moved past. Kaiser has Dart and Shana look around Hoax while he continues briefing Lavitz. After Dart and Shana are finished they return to Kaiser, who brings Dart and Lavitz to their guard posts.
+Afterward, Dart and Shana leave the headquarters to familiarize themselves with Hoax while Lavitz stays behind to discuss a battle plan with Kaiser. While touring the town, they meet Gilda, a midwife, who asks when they expect to have their baby. Dart is taken aback, so Gilda explains that she presumed they must have wanted advice because they were visiting a famous midwife. Gilda goes on to say that he was the midwife for [[Albert|King Albert's]] birth. Upon Dart's speculation that she must be familiar with Serdio before the way, she tells him that 20 years ago, [[Carlo|King Carlo]] passed away and [[Doel]], Carlo's younger brother, estranged himself. She speculates that he was not comfortable deferring the throne to Albert, who was only six years old at the time.

That night, Dart muses that the sound of owls and other nocturnal creatures are reassuring because it indicates that there is no disruption in the forest. He decides to take the opportunity to leave the post and get "something," but on the way, the animals in the forest suddenly disperse.
+A Sandora attack ensues with [[Sandora Soldiers]] coming over the ramparts on the other side of the fort. Dart and Lavitz rush to meet the invaders. During the battle, Dart and Lavitz momentarily split up with Dart moving to confront a [[Sandora Elite|particular enemy]] atop the wall. Lavitz dispatches a pair of soldiers in time to regroup with Dart and confront the Sandora Elite together. Upon slaying him, however, an [[Kongol#Boss (Hoax)|even more menacing foe]] approaches from below. A Basil soldier flees in terror. Lavitz identifies the enemy as "giganto" and Dart moves in for battle, declaring that as large and fearsome as he, "he still is not a Dragon."
-Night falls, and Dart comments it will be easy to tell if the Dragon is approaching since the owls in the forest would stop making noise - as he can still hear the owls, Dart decides to go get food. Lavitz asks Dart if he's checking on Shana, which Dart denies. Lavitz tells Dart to return quickly, but while going down the stairs, Dart hears the owls scatter and realizes the enemy has arrived. Arrows fly from the rear of Hoax, causing some casualties. Kaiser orders his men to defend the gate where enemy soldiers have broken in, with Dart and Lavitz jumping in to support them. Afterwards, an elite soldier of Sandora lands on the top of the gate, and Dart goes up to face the elite. Lavitz joins Dart after defeating the remaining soldiers below, and they fight the elite soldier together.
+Despite their best efforts, Kongol overcomes the combined might of both Dart and Lavitz, even after willfully discarding his own weapon. As Dart rushes in for a decisive blow, Kongol easily rebukes him with a single punch. Kongol retrieves his axe and moves to bring it down on a fallen Dart, but the Giganto is distracted by a flying adversary who swoops in from above. In [[Dragoon form]], [[Rose]] intercepts and deflects Kongol's axe. She declares to Dart to "wake up." An intense red glow overtakes Dart as Lavitz and Kongol both watch in awe.
-|Story2=
+Dart transforms into a Dragoon and quickly defeats Kongol with a fearsome tackle while engulfed in fire that sends the Giganto reeling through the air much to Lavitz's astonishment. Dart is just as surprised and looks to Rose for answers as she comes to the ground in her non-transformed state. Kongol and the rest of the surviving Sandora forces quickly retreat.
-After defeating the soldier, Dart and Lavitz are shocked to see a [[Giganto]], a giant human-like warrior, appear below. Lavitz tells Dart no one could stand up to the Giganto so far. Dart is unfettered, saying the Giganto is no dragon. Despite this, after fighting the Giganto, Dart finds himself fallen at his feet. The Giganto is about to swing his axe to finish Dart when a dark-armored, winged knight flies in to stop the killing blow with her sword. She tells Dart to "wake up", calling a him a [[Dragoon]]. Dart's memento of his father then starts to shine brightly as Dart shouts and a dragon wing-shaped fire blast launches from him into the Giganto. Lavitz watches, mouth agape as the Giganto gets launched across the gate area. A stunned Lavitz turns to Dart and sees Dart is now wearing a red armor similar to the woman who saved him. The woman lands without the armor to reveal she is [[Rose]], who saved Dart from the dragon earlier.
+Dart collapses from the strain of the Dragoon transformation. While he is unconscious, Shana aggressively confronts Rose, suggesting that she did something to Dart. Rose is incredulous that she is being yelled at for saving Dart's life. Dart recovers and recognizes Rose as the passerby who saved him from Feyrbrand. Dart questions the authenticity of their reunification, so Rose confesses that she started following him when she realized that her own Dragoon spirit had responded to him.
-After seeing Dart's transformation and the arrival of Rose, the remaining Sandoran forces retreat. Lavitz and Dart wonder what happened to Dart, and Rose simply tells them a dragoon was born. As she says this, the Giganto who was knocked down, [[Kongol]], sits up to the slight surprise of Rose. Kongol tells the party he will get revenge on them and then retreats. Shana runs out from headquarters to see Dart, who reverts back to normal upon seeing Shana safe. Dart then collapses, with Shana and Lavitz shouting their concern over him.
+Rose shows Dart her Dragoon spirit, which is glowing. Dart retrieves his [[Goods#Father's Stone|father's memento]], which is actually the [[Goods#Red-Eyed Dragoon Spirit|Dragoon spirit of the Red-Eyed Dragon]], and it glows in unison with Rose's stone. Rose explains that it is Dart's fate to be a Dragoon and rule over Dragons. Dart confesses that he had no idea his father's keepsake had such power.
-Later that day, Shana is shouting at Rose, demanding to know who she is and what happened to Dart, who is lying in bed. Rose tries to defend herself when Dart awakens. Rose greets Dart while alluding to a previous encounter with him. Shana asks if they know each other. Rose explains she saved Dart twice, but Shana (and Lavitz) ask Dart to explain. Dart either jokes Rose is important to him or simply acknowledges she saved him, but either way he credits Rose with helping him get to [[Seles]]. Shana realizes the person who helped Dart against the Dragon was Rose. Dart confirms this and thanks Rose for saving him, which Rose says she only did because she wanted to. Dart wonders why Rose came to Hoax, and she tells him it was because she believed Dart possessed a Dragoon Spirit and wanted to test if Dart could be a Dragoon. Lavitz asks why she knows about Dragoons, but Rose simply says it's good to know things. Lavitz states that not many people know about Dragoons, who helped humans defeat the Winglies in the Dragon Campaign, and only learned about them himself from Minister Noish. Dart asks Rose if she only saved him because of the Dragoon Spirit. Rose says she didn't know at first, but now she thinks it's because the party reminds her of her previous companions. Rose explains her friends took control during troubled times and always knew what needed to be done, and she sees the party doing the same. Shana asks where Rose's friends are, and Rose says they are gone. Shana apologizes to Rose and says she misjudged her, which Rose brushes off and says she is used to it. A Knight of Basil suddenly comes in asking for Kaiser, and says Sandora has attacked The Seventh Fort with the Dragon. Lavitz asks where the Dragon came from, and the knight says it has a nest in the forest past [[Volcano Villude]]. Lavitz wants to have all of the knights attack the Dragon's Nest, but Rose says overwhelming the Dragon with numbers will not be enough. Instead, she suggests they may defeat the Dragon using the power of Dragoons, which currently consists of only herself and Dart. Lavitz excitedly agrees, with Dart either expressing hesitation (which Rose will encourage him out of) or confidence, but either way he expresses that he felt the power of the Dragoon and believes he can defeat the dragon. Kaiser tells Dart and Rose they are the only ones who can save Basil by defeating the dragon, and he suggests Shana should stay behind. Shana disagrees and says she will go too and help fight. The party hears the Dragon in the distance as they contemplate their eventual fight against it.
+Lavitz questions how Rose could know any of this information, but she dismisses him. He reiterates the legend of the Dragoons who were victorious in the [[Dragon Campaign]]. Rose provides no more insight. When asked if she only saved Dart because he had a Dragoon spirit, Rose confides that they ─ Dart, Lavitz, and Shana ─ remind her of some friends she had. Like the three of them, her friends were strong, decided their own fate, and knew what to fight for and who to protect. These descriptions echo conversations that Dart and the others had when Rose was not apparently present, such as the one they had on the balcony at [[Bale#Story|Indels Castle]].
-Before leaving Hoax, Dart and Rose overhear two knights discussing Dart's transformation last night, one even calling him the messiah of Basil. Rose uses this as an opportunity to call out Dart's inexperience as a dragoon but also to offer him some training before they head to the [[Marshland]].
+Shana delicately asks about the condition of Rose's friends, and Rose tells her that they are dead now. Shana apologizes and sympathetically realizes that she may have misjudged Rose too quickly.
+Suddenly, a voice calls for Kaiser. A soldier of Basil arrives in Hoax to deliver news that the Seventh Fort in the [[Marshland]] is under attack by the Dragon.
