Yay new series! For this series some time (about a month) has passes since Grima was returned to slumber, and since the world has slowly begun to rebuilding itself.
Important marriages: Avatar (called Cyril here) and Nowi, Chrom and Sumia, Vaike and Panne, Kellam and Cordelia.
This will be mostly from Morgan's perspective, well here we go!
Point of view: Morgan.
"Get back here!" I cried chasing the white skirt darting around the corner ahead of me, "Come on Nah give me back my dragonstone!"
"First you've got to catch me!" she yelled back transforming as she did so and taking off and flying far out of reach.
"No fair!" I yelled reaching into my cloak to retrieve the Arcthunder tome held within.
"Now who's being unfair?" she called caching sight of the tome.
"Take this!" I yelled unleashing the blast and caching the tip of Nah's wing knocking her to the ground on the far side of the clearing. "Now I've got you!" I yelled running across the clearing and tackling Nah (back in human form) to the ground relieving her of my dragonstone in the process.
"That hurt you know," Nah said as she got up.
"Well, would you have preferred I use Valflame?"
"I would have preferred you played fair!" she said.
"Maybe, we should settle this argument a different way," I said drawing my silver sword from its sheath.
"Oh, that's how it's going to be then?" she said drawing her own silver sword.
Oh this is going to be easy.
With that Nah lunged forward following with a series of five strikes designed to quickly weaken my defenses, having fought alongside Nah for so long I easily blocked every strike while stepping sideways forcing Nah to step forward and into my reach. Lashing out at Nah with a powerful downward strike, I forced her back, I then followed with a slice at her chest level, which she blocked and then staggered back, her foot falling into a nearby hole sending her to the ground. I sheathed my sword and extended my hand, which she took as I helped her up.
"Does this mean I win?"
"No, it just means you know how to cheat," she said as she made her way back towards the house just beyond the hill.
Wow she's a sore loser.
As I hurried to catch up I heard the sound of wing beats, I looked up to see a pegasus descending in wide circles overhead, The Brand of the Exalt emblazoned on a flag the rider carried. The rider waved to me as she came in and made a (somewhat smooth) landing. Nah walked over to join us as Cynthia removed her helmet.
"Haven't seen you two in a while," she said as she dismounted.
"Likewise Cynthia, I'm guessing you bring news from our parents," I said.
After Grima was defeated, we had settled into a small house about a mile out of Ylisstol. Then almost a week ago Father and Mother had been summoned to Ylisstol for a "special meeting" and we hadn't heard from them since.
"Kind of, you too have been summoned as well," Cynthia continued.
"What? Has something happened?" Nah said worry creeping into her voice.
"I don't know myself, my mother told me to come get you, but refused to give me any more details," Cynthia said.
"Alright, if we leave now we could get there by nightfall," I said.
With that we left for Ylisstol, Nah and I taking dragon form, Cynthia mounting and keeping close behind us. I watched as the setting sun made everything below us turn to gold, even though the greenish tint of everything in dragon form.
So beautiful, I really hope Mother and Father are alright…
Night fell as we descended into the castle proper, guards came to escort us through the maze of corridors that led to the throne room before leaving the three of us there with our thoughts.
"Anybody else feel like we're being set up?"
"Not just you Nah, I'm starting to reach that conclusion as well."
"What could be so important that my father and mother would hide it from me?"
We soon found out.
"So you have been dragged into this as well?" came a voice I knew so well.
"Father!" Nah and I cried as we both rushed to greet him, Chrom and Sumia.
"I'm sorry, but we must hurry," said Chrom turning to leave, "If you would please follow me."
We descended several flights of stairs and finally arrived in a large room with maps scattered across the tables before us. Chrom moved to the far side of the table and put a map of the land surrounding Ylisstol on top of the pile. Mother also appeared from somewhere and joined us as we gathered around the table.
"I have gathered you here to discuss a matter of great importance. An unknown faction is threatening the safety of all of Ylisse. So far they have made only three major attacks, all of which were designed to look like a large scale raid by brigands. But all the while an army now closes in on us here in Ylisstol. We believe that this faction as the remains of the Grimleal attempting to pay us back from slaying Grima. An attack in imminent and I have called you here as you are some of the greatest warriors in all the world. I ask for your support in defending Ylisstol from this treat."
The meeting lasted for about an hour after that mostly my father and Chrom talking tactics they would use during an attack. After the meeting was over each of us has escorted to a room that had been prepared for us.
"Morgan, wait for a second," I heard Fathers voice as I was entering my room, "In the event of us being attacked, I want you to have these," he said extending to me a sheathed sword and a packaged tome.
"Are these?"
"Balmung and Mjölnir, the weapons I used during the attack on the Dragon's Table.
I couldn't believe it, Father had entrusted me with some of the greatest of the weapons in the world. I thanked my father and we embraced before we each retire to our rooms to get some rest. Little did I know that our peace would be short-lived indeed.
Point of view: ?
Moonlight streamed through the trees. Light from the fire cast its light across two people watching a scrying spell revealing the actions of those far off in Ylisstol.
"Such sweet children, tis a shame she was the one chosen."
"Indeed."
"My lord, I am wondering, how do you know it's her?"
"Her power is like mine, only she doesn't remember it. Ready your troops, their hope dies tonight."
"Yes my lord."
With that the sphere of water shattered and fell like a rain across the pool.
"And so it begins."
Edit: Thank you Glaceon Mage for pointing out those errors, I have no idea how I missed them in my proof reads.
