Before I start this story, I have something I need to get out of my chest. Of all the story ideas that could have come with a protagonist able to turn into a goat dragon, why do we have so few Fates stories about dragon corrin or whatnot? Like, seriously, I don't think I would have bought Fates if I hadn't known that was something in it!

In all seriousness though, this is something that I've wanted to do for a good amount of time, and since there are so few TF related Fire Emblem stories, I figured I would have some fun and do what I can with it. Fates was the obvious place to go for me because people turning into dragons is part of the plot… somewhat… okay maybe not at all. Still, the main character being able to do it would have at least me think it was more likely. So, that's why I'm going to do it.

Oh, and all non-TFed characters will be treated as lvl 20 promoted units for any fighting that happens.

And just by the chapter title, you can probably guess which little cinnamon roll is going to go first. I'm sorry, Elise is my favorite character and I have a bit of a bias towards her so, here we go!

Chapter 1: Elise the Wyvern

Two figures stood at a table, both watching as the three countries of Valla, Nohr, and Hoshido reconstructed themselves after years of aggression and war. It was only a few months ago had the two later joined forces before kicking down the doors to the hidden country of Valla and slaying Anankos. Now, the half-dragon princess, Corrin, sat in the Vallan throne, helping rebuild the kingdom as Nohr and Hoshido did the same. Not much damage had been done to Nohr, but with Garon gone (thank Naga) Xander had to fix a lot of problems that his father had not.

The two figures, manaketes if the pointy ears said anything, watched quietly as events played out on the looking glass table, having grown quiet bored of how normal things were. Not that they didn't understand how important things being normal was, but that was nowhere near as exciting as what they had seen months ago. Part of them wished that they had taken part of it all, but their job required that they simply stand on the sidelines and watch. That was not only boring, but incredibly nerve wracking, especially to the young of the two manaketes. They needed something interesting to happen, for things to go sideways and problems no one expected to happen occur, and that's what they had decided to do.

While they couldn't go there in person and do anything about it, the two manaketes had quickly figured out a way to cure their boredom. They knew about the class changing seals that the armies had used to change classes on a whim, and had quickly learned that Corrin could only use his dragonstone when she was a nohr princess. Knowing what they could do with magic like that, the two dragons had sent one of their followers to make a special one. One that would help spice things up for the two observers. As the door to there room opened, the two manaketes turned, watching a brown haired girl enter the room with strange medals that looked similar to heart seals, but had the mark of various creatures on them.

"Lady Gera, Lady Lowe, the dragon seals are ready," The girl said with a smile, one that she seemed to share with the manaketes we worshipped.

"Oh, yes yes yes yes yes!" Lowe replied, jumping up and down in the air with childish glee. She was the younger of the two manakete sisters with blue hair and wore an extremely skimpy skirt and top. Despite that she still considered herself to be better dressed than that Nowi girl she had met. "Oh, I'm so excited! I've been waiting so long I thought I would go mad early!"

"That makes two of us then, but this stuff takes time Lowe," Gera told her sister. She had blue hair similar to her sister, though was far more welcomely dressed, wearing a long red dress with sandals. "Well then, Anita, would you please explain to us how these work. Me and my sister would be interested to learn before we get those royals wrapped up in our little game."

"Of course, my ladies," Anita bowed her head. "Would you like me to demonstrate, your graces? Or would you simply like me to tell you what it does?"

"Only demonstrations right now, Anita, but if you're trinkets here manage to do as you say, I'm willing to make you one of us," Gera replied with a mischievous smile. "Or, if you want, you could become one of our personal pets."

Gera and Lowe watched as Anita's face grew happier and happier. Both the manaketes knew Anita well, willing to trust no one else with this task but her, yet both knew the girl was less useful to them human. True, she did have her talents as a jewelry smith, but Gera and Lowe had so many of those that someone like Anita was wasted talent. That said, they loved the girl too much to just get rid of her, seeing her as a wonderful pet more than a friend. When the two had explained this to the girl, she openly welcomed the idea of being a pet, though admitted that in her current form being a pet was not something she could be. That's why, when Anita heard Gera said those words, she was so excited.

"Yes, of course. I would love for you two to be my owners when I become a dragon," Anita said, managing to hold herself back just enough to not break down crying. "Anyways, what you two showed me were no doubt heart seals, and as the name implies it has some power over the heart that can cause someone with no talent with something to suddenly become talented in it. As you also pointed out, it also seems to have some sort of power that allows certain people to change forms. So, I found that enchantment in the heart seals, and I amplified it! Now, anyone who uses these specially tinkered heart seals, no matter if they were once able to or not, will find themselves turned into whatever beast is on the front of the seal."

"That's so cool," Lowe said. "Is it permanent? Can they change into different species?"

"Yes, it is permanent, and no, they cannot change species," Anita replied. "However, as the user still maintains there intelligence after using it, they can use a normal heart seal to change classes as long as it isn't mounted."

"It's settled then," Gera said with a clap of her hands. Her mischievous smile only seemed to grow. "Thanks Anita, you can leave the rest of this all up to us."

Castle Krackenburg

The past few months for Camilla had been both the best and worst days of her life. They were the best in the case that she was not fighting, and could rest after the craziness that her sister Corrin had gotten her into. That said, with Corrin not being around at all, Camilla had also felt like those days her sister reach the top of her train of thoughts to be the worst. Her sister was now a queen, one belonging to a kingdom that no one had heard about in ages and she saw her less than the Hoshidan royal family. Just the mere thought of that, just now, would have usually brought her incredible frustration, but something else had shown managed to catch her curiosity.

"Camilla! You awake!" Came the voice of Camilla's youngest sister, Elise.

"Yes, Elise, please come in," Camilla said, studying the object in her hand with incredible curiosity.

Elise opened the door and bounced in, quickly joining Camilla's side. The young princess had been concerned about Camilla ever since Corrin decided to stay in Valla. Sure, they could still go and visit her in the outrealm whenever they liked, but there was many days that Corrin was too busy to show up. While Camilla was far from depressed about the entire thing, the attachment that her sister had to Corrin made her worried. The worst part, she couldn't think of any way of actually cheering her sister up when she was at her worst.

"Oh, what do you have there?" Elise said, taking the item that Camilla had been holding. Elise looked at it with extreme curiosity, finding what looked like a heart seal, but with a dragon in the middle of it instead of a jewel. "Wow, this is so cool! What is it?"

"I have no idea, but it looks like a unique heart seal if I had to guess," Camilla explained. "Though, it did come with this note."

Elise wasn't paying attention to what her sister was saying, looking at the heart seal and walking into a corner in Camilla's room. Elise knew that if she asked her sister if she could use it, she would probably be told it was too dangerous to use without knowing what it was. So, checking to make sure that her sister wasn't looking, she decided to risk it and see what the strange heart seal had in store for her. As that was happening, Camilla read over the note that she had found with it.

To the Nohr Royal Family

You don't know us, but we most definitely know you. Your exploits in trying to bring your country to a new and better future has not gone unnoticed by the gods. As such, we give you this gift, a dragon seal. As you would imagine it is similar to a heart seal, but instead of simply changing the users class, it completely changes them into a dragon, permanently.

Camilla didn't get further, and she didn't need to before turning around, noticing Elise about to active the so called dragon seal.

"Elise, wait-" Camilla reached a hand out to try and reach her sister, but was too late.

A quick flash of white light covered the room, blinding both of the princesses as a strange magic seeped into Elise's body. Elise tried to cover her eyes from the light, but a sudden sickness from her stomach caused both her hands to clutch their instead. She had class changed before, and while the blinding light was to be expected, she had never felt sick over doing such a thing. Something wasn't right, she knew it right there, before she suddenly found herself sent into a coughing fit. As the light faded, Camilla quickly rushed to her sisters side, finding that she was still human, but knew better than to disregard anything that letter said.

"Elise, are you okay?" Camilla asked. The look in her sister's face was that of a grateful smile, the girl seeming oblivious as to what was about to happen to her.

"I'm fine Camilla, why are you worri-" Elise said, but she stopped as she keeled over, feeling something increasingly wrong with her hands.

Camilla gave her sister space, watching as the young princess lifted her hands in front of her face. There was nothing wrong with them in terms of how they looked, but there was something wrong with how she was having to hold them. She tried her hardest to fully bend her elbows, but found it near impossible, seeing that they were only able to bend at a ninety degrees angle. Even worse, she couldn't move her fingers at all, or at least she couldn't move them all separately. The only one that seemed to be able to move freely was her thumb, though she still couldn't fully bend it.

Than, it started, all of her fingers save for her thumbs seeming to merge into each other. All the bone seemed to disappear in them, flexible cartilage taking their place as the mass turned into one small finger. Something similar happened to her thumb, as cartilage took the place of bone, though it seemed to slim down a bit to the same length and size of her other lonely finger. The nail on the end of both of them hardened, growing outward and curving slightly to become claws. Just then, the rest of hand seem to come to the same fate, slimming down to the same shape as her finger, arms following suit. Elise was already confused at what was going on, but that confusion only grew as she saw her now awkwardly slime, two fingered arms and hands suddenly turn black and scale.

Elise blinked. "What?"

Before she could continue, she got her answer as to why her elbows would completely been, as now not only did he disappear, but she a strange membrane was growing down from her arms. Along with this membrane, her arms seemed to get significantly longer, parts of it seeming to bend her now boneless arms into a backwards curve. At the top of those curves, another hard, curved nail, seemed to form, resembling that of a claw. Elise's confusion was finally getting answered, and as the membrane connected to her arms transformed into large, black wings, she finally figured it out.

"It's… turn me into a dragon?!" Elise asked, looking at her new wings in shock. She touched the tips of them together, trying her hardest to make them grab each other like they were still hands, but she couldn't. As her wings finished growing, she felt their weight pull her down, the tips of her wings somehow keeping her standing. "This is… this is…"

"Elise, I'm so sorry," Camilla said, having looked away in shame of letting this befall her sister.

"This is so cool!" Elise said, looking over her wings in awe. Camilla was shocked when she heard this, looking to see her sister, now with wyvern wings instead of hands and arms, examine her changed arms in excitement.

Under her dress, Elise's body bulked and grew, from the base of her neck down to the end of her legs. Any other person would have been terrified out of their minds at a moment like this, but Elise didn't care at all. She watched as her dress stressed and tore, her body becoming too big for her clothes to handle. They ripped apart, a for quick moment Elise felt slightly ashamed of her naked body, though that was also quickly replaced by more awe and excitement. She felt powerful, perhaps even strong enough to finally lift her sister's bed! That was nothing, however, compared to the pattern her scales had taken.

Elise had felt the scales growing under her clothes, but she had expected them to be completely black. That was not the case at all, because while her backside might have been the same pitch black her wing arms were, the scales covering her neck all the way to her butt was completely different. They were pure white, reflecting off the light as if they were crystal, with the connecting area between the two scale colors was purple. She even had a scale pattern resembling the base bow that she use to have on the base of her neck.

It was than that Elise felt something tug it's way out of her tailbone, and knowing well what it was she looked to see her tail grow out behind her. Just like the rest of her body, it had black scales on the top of it and white scales underneath, with purple in the area the two colors met. What was even crazier was the end of her tail, which was made out of complete metal and looked exactly like her staff! As Elise watched her tail swing back and forth in excitement, her legs changed, getting shorter and yet gaining more fat at the same time. Sitting up Elise found that she was forced to sit in a squatting position her legs scales mimicking that of the leggings that she use to wear: black with lines of pink going around them.

Next up was her feet, which Elise watched in extreme interest as the entire back half of her foot was forcibly locked into the squatting position she had found herself in. Her big toe seemed to disappear along with her small toe, as the others grew in size with the balls of her feet, skin turning into black scales. Her nails elongated into long claws, leaving nearly all of her body unrecognizable, save for her head. Knowing that she might only have a few moments before her head was as unrecognizable as the rest of her body, she looked to Camilla with a smile.

"Elise… you're okay with this?" Camilla asked, having had time to calm down and find herself curious as to her sister's current predicament.

"Of course I am! What child doesn't want to be a dragon?!" Elise asked her sister. "I never really said it, but I was actually a little jealous that Corrin was able to turn into a dragon and I wasn't. So, being one myself, that actually makes me feel a bit closer to big sister."

"But… you won't be able to take the throne… or anything like that," Camilla said. "Doesn't that mean something to you as a princess? I thought you wanted to try ruling a little bit."

"Sis, let's be honest, I wasn't ever going to get the throne," Elise explained. "I mean, I'm the fourth child in a royal family! You know what the odds are of me ever getting to rule. At least this way I can be more-" Elise couldn't see if, but she could feel the scales rising up her neck. Her neck stretched out as the last part of her that was human suddenly started to disappear. "I can help in wrays… no wrun elsssse courwd."

Elise felt her voice start to change as her neck elongated, being covered in black, white, and purple scales. When it finished, Elise closed her eyes as whatever magic doing this to her went to work and finished it's business. Her hair, instead of falling away, was shaped into two long curved horns going down her face, ears disappearing behind them. What hair wasn't in ponytails simply vanished as black scales overtook her face. The moment the scales touched her mouth she felt her nose, jaw, and mouth elongate outwards. After a reasonably sized muzzle was created and the scales completed covered her new muzzle, her nose disappeared into its top, leaving her with two nostrils instead.

With that, the transformation was complete and Elise found herself in a body unlike the one she had known for her entire life. Where a beautiful, young, 13 year old human girl had been standing mere moments ago, was a black and white wyvern. Camilla could tell that nothing had changed in Elise's mind, the wyvern happily humming to herself as she checkout her new body, quickly tripping as she found it near impossible to walk upright. Managing to get into a quadruped stance, with her chest, neck, and head all leaning forward. Her wings, while able to handle the weight, were still not strong enough to give her a straight back. Slowly turning to her sister, she smiled a forked tongue instinctively lashing out without her command.

"Sssso, rhow do ri rook?" Elise said, quickly finding herself unable to correctly pronounce her words with her knew muzzle and tongue. She couldn't help but laugh"'Atsss, gonna take sssome gerring usssse to. Anyrways, howr do I look sssisss?"

Camilla was unsure how to respond, not so much because she didn't have an answer to the question, but rather because of the answer Elise had given her earlier. It was true, both Elise and Leo didn't have a good chance at getting the throne, and that was especially true for the former. She believed that there were better ways at finding a different path then this, however, as wyverns were only ever used as two things: mounts and, in rare cases, pets. While Camilla knew Elise didn't want to be either of those things, at this point she had no point but to go along with whatever her sister has chosen. As the note said, this was permanent, and Camilla was sure someone as clever and hardworking as Elise could figure something out.

"Your… beautiful, Elise," Camilla said, walking towards her sister and giving her a hug. Elise found her vision engulfed by her sisters breast, something that she wasn't entirely use to. "Though, it looks like someone has skipped out on their english listens."

"Ri throught I would losssss mry voice compretry," Elise said, not even trying to pronounce her words better. Besides, even if she did, there was nothing about the prolonged 's' that her new tongue made. "Ri'm jussst happry that ri reven have my voice."

"I guess we should be happy about that, but either way you are still the most adorable baby dragon I've ever seen," Camilla said, Elise's eyes widening as she heard her sister call her a 'baby'. "What? You know that dragons, wyverns, and all other variations of your new species live for hundred to thousands of years right? A little thirteen year old dragon like you is nothing more than just a cute, little, baby."

Looking into her sister's eyes, Elise felt something she had not expected to when she touched the strange heart seal: fear. Not fear of living for so long, not fear of the madness known for coming upon dragons at great ages, but rather of her sister, who was now dragging her out of her room. Elise didn't know what was to come, but she was sure that whatever it was, she was going to be very afraid of it.

Naga watched this all happen from above, holding her head in her claws and shaking back and forth in disbelief and disappointment. She knew that Gera and Lowe were troublemakers, harmless ones the large majority of the time, but she never expected something like this. Truthfully, she had no guiding hand in what was to happen to the countries of Hoshido or Nohr after Anankos' defeat, and therefore had no authority over what the two could or couldn't do. At the very least, the one they had turned so far was at least okay with what had happened, save for the fact her sister was now freely introduce Elise's new form to everyone in the castle. None of that stopped her from shaking her head though.

Whatever journey those two had started, it was only going to stranger, weirder, and crazier from here.

And there we are, the first chapter of The Dragon Seal, and one cute little cinnamon roll turned into a cute cinnamon roll of a dragon. I will openly admit that I struggled trying to keep Camilla in character while writing this, but I think I did a pretty good job at what I set out to do.

Still, as Elise is now a wyvern, and she doesn't really know how to use her new body at all yet, she isn't really lvl 20 anymore. So, let's give her some new stats, shall we?

Elise (wyvern cleric)

HP: 21

Str: 7

Mag:9

Skil:4

Spd:5

Lck:4

Def:8

Res:6

Yes, the fact she is still a cleric is the reason that her staff is now a part of her tail, in case you are all wondering. That said, wyverns and dragons won't be the only thing characters will be turned into, and with that I'm going to want some of you to help me. While I still want the review area to be used for giving feedback and all of that stuff, I would also like you to tell me what different species you would like to see characters get turned into. Now, again, not everyone is going to get turned, but I'm more than willing to take suggestions, as I've already done mine with Elise.

So, you have the choice between making characters: wyverns, pegasi, dragons, horses, and kinshi. The choice is yours, so give me your suggestions.

Next time, however, we will learn about how the Nohr royal family reacts to Elise's new species, and have a visit between Gera, Lowe, and Naga. See you all then!
