"The Future... It can't be saved."
No matter how many times i tried,
It always ends with despair
No... There is one person... He can do it...
just like how... he helped Marth... end the war...
he can win... he can save... this world
I don't have enough strength... So I'll have him sleep...
and heal any of his wounds... until then.
Forgive me... I'm truly sorry for my selfishness
She remembered the past, during her life as her previous incarnation as Nagi, during the War of Dragon of the old Archania. She had made friend, an ally. Even when he knew that she was the reincarnation of the divine dragon, the embodiment of Naga. his treatment of her never changed, He didn't avoid or worship her like others. His values, beliefs, loyalty, compassion toward others, with his friendship along with his skills on field and off the field except for the minor facts on no sense of direction or can't cook he was a valued ally... and a great friend.
Although. what she plans my be too much for him, she will bear any hatred harbored towards, for sending him to future with no hope, one destined for failure. But yet she must try and put him there. She knew the only other fitted for the task would be the Hero King, but she knew Kris wouldn't have allowed that and either go with him or volunteer in his place.
"Kris, i'm sorry, I truly hope you can forgive... Sweet dreams"
~Archania~
He was fighting off Assassins, there were to many at least to say in the hundreds. After Lady Emeriya's defeat and apparent death by the hands of Gharnef, her remaining trained children rallied together to kill the ones who fought had killed her, Katraina, they went after Katarina an d her allies. Cecile, Rody, Luke, Raian and Katarina had all escaped by his order and retreated back to the castle at first by Kris, he promised them, he wouldn't die and he'd return, that he'd come back to them. He had kept count and slain 103 of them, but they kept on coming. "Do they not stop... can't they realize this battle has no merit for them.." he thought as he kept fighting. "No matter what they do... they can't bring back the dead."
When all hundred of the Assassins were killed, Kris was deeply wounded, he limped all the way back to the castle, even crawled, so he could keep his promise... to his friends. When he reached to the front of the castle. He was happy... he kept his promise... but in his heart he knew there were to many wounds... and fall to ground thinking he'd die.
"Kris..."
"He looked around, and his eyes widened at the sight in front of him."
"N-nagi! I see... so I really have died?" He said aloud. He noticed he could move his body just fine and there was no injuries.
"No..."
She kept her answer short, and tried not to look him in the eye. It would only make things harder for her.
"Something wrong Nagi, I told you before that I'm your friend... I'm always willing to help you with anything you need." he said
"Kris...Thank you... and... I'm sorry...Oh and try not to panic... when you met your descendants..."
"W-what..."
"That was the last voice he heard until he laid unconscious."
~Modern Ylisse~
Many things had happened in this time, and new events were about to unfold. Chrom figured out that the Masked Marth turned out to be his daughter from the future, Lucina, along with her friends from her timeline. They were sent back in time with Naga's power so they could change the future and prevent the destruction of humanity, along with the world.
The shepherds now setting up camp, taking the time to regroup and prepare. It was nightfall. Tomorrow, they will head out to Port Ferox and take a ship towards Valm. Chrom had a lot of things on his mind. As the King of Ylisee he was never sure if he was doing a good job, not sure if he could keep the peace in Ylisee. Even though his wife Sumia was always there to reassure him. He was never certain. With Emmerym's death he wasn't sure if he was even following her ideals. He and Robin still blame themselves for the cause. Even if she did sacrifice herself for them, her people, and the Fire Emblem
"Father?" Chrom was looking at the starry sky while sitting under a tree when he heard his daughter call for his name.
What is it Lucina?" She sat beside him, as he put an arm around her shoulder
"You seemed stressed, what seems to be the problem?"
"I just got…. A lot of things in my head"
She suddenly embraced her father, she then puts her head on his shoulder.
"It's alright father, we'll change fate. No matter what happens. And besides, we're here, mother and I. You can tell us everything, we won't judge you."
Her daughter's right. He's not alone. He has his family, friends, and his people. They put their faith and trust on him. He can't just back down. He has to be strong, for them.
He let go of Lucina. "Thank you, you made me realize some things."
"The pleasure's all mine, father, although, there are some things that I haven't figured out yet."
"What is it Lucina?"
"When Naga sent us to the past, she said something like 'I will send you to a time before the world's destruction, twelve children of the future, two heroes will end of joining you a legendary female swordsman, and one long forgotten by time. Until now, I don't know what that meant."
This is a shock to Chrom, this new information changes everything. Potential allies when will they meet? Will they ever meet? Are those heroes truly that strong? Are they willing to help our cause?" All these thoughts circulated through his mind/
"Chrom! Chrom!"
He heard his tactician shout at the top of his lungs. He looked back and spotted him running full speed towards his and Lucina's location.
"What is it? Why do you have to shout at this time?"
"Chrom….. hah….there's…. wait, let me breathe for a while….."
After a few minutes, his tactician, Robin, spoke.
"Risen, hundreds of them, headed towards this direction!"
Chrom suddenly froze, 'this is bad'
"Are you sure about this?"
Robin nodded. "Yes, a scout reported that they are currently in an abandoned village and is marching towards us. This is bad Chrom, we can't fight against a hundred risen, not with our current situation."
"Tell everyone. We needed to prepare for an incoming assault. Where is the village located?"
"Just an hour's walk from here, they'll be here any moment now."
Chrom faced his daughter with a look of distress. "Lucina, prepare your weapons, check the supplies. Robin, warn everyone and tell them to prepare, now!"
The three of them ran towards the camp.
Everyone has been informed and is well prepared. They have checked their supplies, formed an instant strategy, and they secured the entire perimeter. All they have to do is wait for their enemies….
They didn't come. One hour, two hours, three hours… Chrom was running out of patience. He is starting to wonder if the scout's report was accurate.
"Hey Robin, are you sure the reports are correct? It's been at least three hours and we still haven't got even a sound of Risen."
"I'm sure Chrom, there were three of them, and all of them said the same thing."
Chrom was getting pissed off. Another hour came and that's what snapped him.
"Alright, change of plans. I will scout ahead to see if these 'Risen' actually exist"
"Hold on father, I'll join you. You can't be too sure about it." Lucina said in a somewhat eager manner.
"No Lucina, you'll get hurt. Stay back here and keep safe. If I don't return….." Chrom cannot finish his sentence, as the thought of leaving his daughter alone in this world is unbearable.
"No father! I lost you once, and I will never lose you again!" Lucina said, tears threatening to spill off her eyes.
"I'll join too" Said the tactician. "I'll check too. If the Risen reports are true…."
"Alright, you three, join me. Robin, you said this village is an hour's walk from here?"
"Yes, it's in this direction. Follow me." Robin said as he led Chrom and Lucina towards the abandoned village that the Risen were located."
Chrom looked back towards Frederick "You're in-charge of this army while I'm gone." Chrom then walked off towards Robin and Lucina
"As you wish, milord. Alright everyone, secure the perimeter, make sure that every corner of this area is secured."
It was quite a beautiful evening, the moon was full, the stars were shining, and the sky was clear. It would be a beauty if the current situation was a little bit more… pleasant.
After an hour, they arrived at the village, but they weren't expecting to see tens, hundreds of Risen corpses, scattered around the ground. But at a closer inspection of the bodies, they do not look like one. They were quite human, and they all seemed peacefully sleeping. And the weirdest part was everyone of the corpses were smiling, like they were released from some sort of curse. They seemed to die happily, free from sin and regret.
Lucina was the first to speak. "These people…..they are….."
"Happy….. free….." Chrom finished the sentence that his daughter can't. It was quite a beautiful sight. Coupled with the beauty that was noticed earlier, it was serene. The tense atmosphere that they have was replaced by a peaceful, warm one.
"Are you sure there were risen here? There are hundreds of corpses, but they don't look like Risen to me." Chrom asked Robin, but this time, the tactician cannot answer.
"We should explore the village more, should we split up or look together?" Lucina asked, while looking around for signs of threats
"I think we should stick together, just to make sure…."
"I agree with Chrom, we couldn't be too sure about this."
The three of them searched the village, but found no one, not even a single enemy.
After an hour, they proceeded to search the center of the village, the very lifeline of this town.
"I can't believe this village was abandoned. It looks so peaceful and quiet. And the corpses we found all looked the same. No blood, no cuts or other damages. They were intact, smiling, and all of them were facing up. Towards the sky, as if thanking the gods. I wish my future was like this, quiet and serene."
"Don't worry Lucina, we'll-"
They all stopped walking, surprised plastered on their faces. In the middle of the town was a fountain, with a statue of Naga, pouring water, as if to nurture the grounds below it. Sitting near the fountain was a man, holding a sword, praying in front of the fountain. The man looked behind him and saw the three of them, staring at him.
"Who…..are you guys….?"
This is sorta a Male version from the story Aid from the Past. Feature Male Kris (Obviously) From Fire Emblem 12. I will add in his memories of support conversations based on the people he meets and their similarity. Example Navvare and Lon'qu, or Catria and Cordelia. I have not gotten permission from the author but if they deny the story, I'll get rid of it. Until then I'll just continue going on
The Nagi = Naga Theroy: Shadow Dragon introduced a new character named Nagi-a Manakete that looks very similar to an older Tiki. She resides in a tower from another world and gives Marth a weaker version of the Falchion. Before you wonder what Nagi's relevance is, her ending title during the game's Epilogue is "Divine Dragon King's Avatar", while the event where she appears is named "Revived Divine Dragon King" (in the Japanese version). Furthermore, her internal (in-game) name is NAGA.
In other words, Nagi is Naga (or perhaps the successor to Naga). Curiously, Nagi appears again in Heroes of Light and Shadow, but Marth doesn't recognize her, implying that her recruitment in Shadow Dragon was not canon.
Naga appears again in the backstory of Awakening, as the kind Divine Dragon who helped mankind defeat the Fell Dragon. Thousands of years ago, Naga blood-bonded with the first Exalt of Ylisse and now the Mark of the Exalt (Mark of Naga in the Japanese version) appears on various Ylissean royal family members. Near the very end of the game, Naga appears before Chrom and company, after being summoned by the Awakening ritual. This is also the first time Naga physically appears as a character-she appears in the form of a woman and bears a striking resemblance to Nagi.
Additionally, the Knights of Iris book explicitly suggests that Naga in Awakening is the spirit of the Divine Dragon King of Archanea and that Grima is an Earth Dragon descendant.
However, before you think it's all safe in the bag, in the DLC episode Future of Despair 3 (which takes place in an alternate timeline), Naga's power is exhausted and thus cannot help the children defeat Grima. Instead, Tiki-who was killed by Grima earlier on in this timeline-becomes the next Naga, in place of the original Naga. When the children initiate the Awakening ritual, Tiki grants them her power to defeat Grima. This implies that Naga doesn't always have to be the same person.
