Fire Emblem if(Future work)

I saw the Fire Emblem if trailers and some people doing Fire Emblem if fanfics so I think, 'Why not I make one?' This is just a preview of what I have plan for later. I might continue, just to do it for the heck of it.

Some are spoilers and due to the game not out, everything will be edited after the English version comes out. I think I know what some of you guys are thinking in your heads.

I don't own Fire Emblem. Just the OCs and I don't think the OC will have any shippings.

Your heads: Ownage, what if someone translate everything on Youtube?

Me: Well, my fellow Fire Emblem fans... I would but it will be a waste of time and I don't trust people translating, well one, I don't know Japanese. Two, American version could change some words like they did with Lucina and Owain support convo I believe.

Chapter 1: Place to Think

Praven, City of the Kingdom of Daein... Year 1245

"AHHHHH" a 10-year old boy scream as the poison was mix in his eyes by an older man who looks around his 20s. The man wears a black plate armor made out of mithril and his red cape made out of silk, he wore a helmet shaped as a dragon and the only part of his face that can be seen is his bloody red eyes. The man was accompanied by his bodyguards or Nevassan Guards and others who are loyal to him. The Nevassan Guards were the most defensive and heaviest infantry in the Daein army with mithril armor and adamant tower shields. The others were just regular professional legionaries or Praven soldiers who were loyal to him.

As the boy continue crying, the butler along with Praven local guards begin to aid the boy. The butler quickly grabs the crying boy and begin to run out of the bedroom before his young master gets hurt in a fight that was fierce. What was the reason for blinding the boy which nobody knows.

As the butler got out of the bedroom, he sees an initial battle within the city. The local soldiers of Praven were fighting for their lives and their griffon riders were fending off their wyvern opponents.

"I must get to the stables." The butler said with panic and look down at the tearing boy, "Don't worry master."

"You're not going anywhere." A voice was spoken behind the frightening butler. The butler looks back and sees the enemy, the same one who just poisoned his young master. It seems that the local guards who are one of Daein finest soldiers just got beaten without killing much of the enemies.

The butler begins shaking and look down to the stairs to see that he and his master were surrounded by soldiers. Some of these soldiers were Praven soldiers and they were pointing their weapons at the butler.

"Hand him over, Falko." The enemy spoke coldly and point his sword at Falko. The sword was a long sword with a wide blade surrounded with dark black flames every time it's out of its sheathe.

"Never, Tiberius," Falko replies with a tear shed from his eye.

Tiberius narrow his eyes and signal his soldiers to execute Falko but was interrupted when a Praven Vanguard name Lucius jump in the middle and slash the surrounding soldiers with the support of his fellow Vanguards who began to slash their weapons at Tiberius men.

Tiberius growl as a Vanguard charge at him. Tiberius fold his sword arm and slash at the charging Vanguard with a terrifying amount of strength and speed.

"GO!" Lucius shouted to Falko who nodded and run to the stables where a carriage was present. Falko is covered by loyal Praven troops and Lucius who were backing away from Tiberius who is currently busy with the Vanguards that were fighting him.

"We must go to Crimea, ask for help," Lucius shouted to his loyal soldiers who just beaten their opponents

"General, we can't. Tiberius reinforce the border guards by thousands and the blockade to the west is way too strong." A Praven griffonmaster reported and Lucius nodded as he and the rest of his men which number around 2,500 leave on horse, air, and on foot. They are going to the port to sail out of Tellius to find the continent of Elibe where a majority of Tellius forces consist of combatants of Daein, Begnion, Grann, and Crimea are fighting the united Hyrule that challenge Begnion and all of Tellius.

Or he could try to break through and go to Begnion or Crimea but the risk of trying seems high for him and his men. They don't even know how many border guards or patrols they have around the nation, probably thousands around each patrol now.


Border of Nohr and Hoshido, 2 weeks later

You are the ocean gray waves, destined to seek.

Life beyond the shore just out of reach

Yet the waters ever change, flowing like time

The path is yours to climb

Azura, the songstress sang a song and when she was going to sing the end of it, she senses someone behind her. She turned to see a prince of Nohr who was born in Hoshido like she was a princess of Nohr and was raised in Hoshido.

Kamui, the young man who interrupted her song is curious about Azura. He swore that he has never seen her before in his life that he walk through the wilderness almost every day in his life.

"Pardon my interruption to your song. I mean no offense by it and just to be curious. Who are you?"

"My name is Azura. I was a princess of Nohr and raised in Hoshido." Azura answered with a smile.

"Name's Kamui... I was born in Hoshido and raised in Nohr." He replied.

"Well met, Kamui. Sounds like we are in a same situation. What brings you here?" Azura asks.

Kamui sigh and pick up a pebble nearby. He threw it across the waters and sat on his behind, looking at the lake.

"I come here almost every day to see nature. Today is just I need to think. My father or adopted father, Garon. Is he your father?" Kamui asks in a low tone and Azura sat next to him.

"Of course, I did say I was a princess of Nohr. Why you ask?" Azura looks worried at Kamui's changing tone.

"Marx told me of my origin. He told me how I got to Nohr. Garon has plotted to invade Hoshido. Tell me, Azura. Does blood worth more than loyalty or was it the other way around?" Kamui asked as he faces her.

"That is the choice you must make for yourself. Any choice you make due to our similar situation, I will follow. Truth be told, I know you will make a right choice as one of the greatest war in history is coming. There might be no victor as many will suffer in the hands of war. It matters what is in your heart." Kamui wonders why Azura, a stranger turned acquaintance, will just follow him after minutes of conversation.

'No lie, she is attractive but mysterious,' Kamui thought before he replies, "My heart... But... why is my heart matters to what is in your heart?"

Azura blushes a bit and said, "I said this already. Our situation is not different. It's the same, we were kidnapped by other nations from our homes. Two people with similar situation meet, become friend with one another, we help each other with this situation."

Kamui cracks a smile and nod at his 'new friend' that he met not even 10 minutes ago. This was the fastest formed friendship he ever forged with another person, maybe a world record.

Hoshido Castle(Near the Nohr-Hoshido border)

Lucius and his army arrive in a land that was not known to them. His army has crippled from constant bandit attacks and attrition through starvation and exhaustion of constant running and moving.

"Legion! We stop." Lucius, who was on his armored horse, shouted and held his hand up to signal to halt when he see a beautiful city that looks like they are repairing the gate.

"What you think General?" 1 of the 6 Praven Dragonknights captains asked for a strategy. Each captain leads a force of 20 Dragonknight cavalry, heavily armored and rumored to be the most powerful cavalry in Tellius and even rival with Crimea's cavalry.

Lucius look at the city, knowing that they are undetected, ask, "What is our current condition?"

"Close to 1,700 soldiers. 50 griffons, 3,000 bows, and crossbows altogether. Horses are thirsty and near exhaustion."

"Yes," Lucius said with a sigh as he already knew.

"If we gonna have a chance, we need to take them as soon as possible." The captain stated.

Lucius look at the castle then look back to the carriage that was carrying the child. Lucius dismount and walk to the carriage, have Falko to open the door to see his master.

Lucius watch his master sleeping peacefully, but he needs to wake him up to tell him his next action. Lucius put his hand on his young master head which results in a quick reaction from the young master, "Lucius."

Ok, the young master wasn't sleeping, he was awake but trying to take a nap.

"Lucius," the boy run his hands around the free space, trying to find someone with his hands. Why couldn't the boy see Lucius next to him? The young master was blind due to the poison his brother mixed with the eye medicine.

"I'm here." Lucius held on to his blind master's hand, signal the blind master that he's here with him.

"Falko told me that you are going to take the city." The young master said on his bed.

"Yes, but their captain is very weak and he doesn't look too bright," Lucius said with confidence as he held his hand out to Falko who handed him a water bag to give his young master water, "Let's have a drink."

Why did Lucius say bad things about the Hoshido captain? It's because he found a strategy for them.

After the boy drinks the water, he spoke, "I'll wait for your good news when you return."

"We're at a new city, a place to rest," Lucius reply before he pats his master and wish his a good rest.

Lucius walk away from the carriage and told his strategy to his troops.

Hoshido Castle, 30 minutes later

Drums were beating and alarmed the whole city to signal an invasion. The Hoshido warriors led by Ryoma went on to the walls and watch the cavalry assault towards their defensive castle.

Ryoma look at Saizou, the red hair ninja, and ask, "Have you or any of your fellow ninjas see them before?"

"No, are they Nohrians, sire?" Saizou asks out of curiosity.

"Same color of armor but a different banner. Fire at will!" Ryoma shouted the order, just to give a warning shot to the upcoming cavalry led by Lucius.

The Hoshido archers release their arrows and miss the upcoming Daein cavalry of Kataphrakts and Dragonknights by an inch away from hitting them and their armored horses.

"Retreat!" Lucius shouted and the Daein cavalry pulls back, turning their tails between their legs.

"Useless cowards. Ryoma, let me take our cavalry to chase them!" an Hoshido captain suggest.

"Are you sure you could do this? This is odd for them to retreat quickly, this is their tactic." Ryoma replied but the Hoshido captain was stubborn and argue with his superior, "But my prince, they will return. Just give me the cavalry and I could slaughter them all!"

The men shouted and Ryoma could see the men agree with the captain. Ryoma nodded and the captain begin to lead at least 500 horsemen to follow their slower and armored opponents.

'It worked,' Lucius thought as he looks back at the Hoshido cavalry is coming close and he signal his men to get their horses to gallop a little faster before they get caught.

"They run?" the Hoshido captain was confused as he pulls out his steel katana.

Lucius held his arm up to signal the next phase of his strategy. The Daein cavalry begins to beat the drums.

Lucius plan worked as a rope was pulled out from the dirt and begin to knock the captain and most of the Hoshido cavalrymen off their horses. That blew the whole castle mind as they witness one of the dirtiest tactics ever to be implied on a battlefield. Another rope was pulled up from the ground and knocked another charging cavalrymen, another rope, and another.

As every Hoshido cavalry are knock off from their horses, a different beat from the Daein drums was heard. The beat signal the Daein forces to rise up from the shallow layer of dirt and mud to surround the Hoshido dismounted cavalry.

The Daein forces rush to the Hoshido cavalrymen and point their weapons at them. Lucius led his cavalry back and drew his vague katti to point at the Hoshido captain and the rest.

"Stay down!" One of the captains shouts at their opponents as they trying to back away.

"Stay down." Another shout.

"What a dirty trick! We don't have enough men to defend now," one of the soldiers was a lack of confidence until Ryoma bolster it when he pull out his blade and shout, "I want 6 of soldiers to come with me. Archers on the walls, beat the drums, and banners to place on the walls! Do so and you'll survive!"

The Hoshido warriors found confidence once again and rush to execute their military figurehead strategy.

At the Daein side, Lucius begin to signal a full frontal assault towards the gate, "Take it!"

"Beat the drums!" A Hoshido samurai shouted and the drums begin to beat. Everyone in the castle held onto a banner while kneeling on the wall. That put a lot of fear into the charging Daein invaders as they begin to think that they are actually outnumbered by a lot. He could see the Hoshido pegasus warriors along with Hinoka flying above the castle to ready for their griffon warriors. The Hoshido archers were on the walls to ready their arrows and lancers were at the gates to form a phalanx at the gate.

Lucius held his hand up when he sees Ryoma and six swordsmasters walk out of the city in a formal approach. Most of the Hoshidos believed it is supposed to be a scare tactic but instead, it was to translate 'We talk or we fight'. "Halt!"

"That scared them! Counterattack!" The archers were about to fire until seeing Ryoma and his bodyguards were insight.

Lucius dismount his horse along with captains who were not only trained Praven Dragonknights but also Praven Vanguards. They could see there are some culture similarities between Daein and Hoshido but not really. What's similar is the some armor being worn but different colors, they both have a ninja clan in their nation, and some foods are similar.

Both Lucius and Ryoma walk towards each other, tell their respectful men to stay put behind them as the two strong generals are planning to negotiate terms.

Lucius was still holding his sword and begin to introduce himself, "I am Lucius, Commanding General. 10th Praven Legion, Kingdom of Daein."

"Ryoma, Prince of the Kingdom of Hoshido. General, is there anyway we don't fight?" Lucius begin to listen to Ryoma terms as the Hoshido prince continues, "Return our people and soldiers. You go elsewhere." The direction that Ryoma point was towards Nohr.

"No," Lucius reply as he hit his armor with his vague katti, point his weapon to the city and continue speaking. "We go there."

Ryoma did not like the term, Lucius and the Daein army was nothing but strangers. Even Ryoma is honorable, he never knew the Daein army was crippling from starvation and exhaustion. If he knew, then he would have accepted.

"No." Ryoma ended the term as Lucius nodded his head and prepare for combat. Ryoma grabs his sheathe and pull out his blue lightning sword and threw his sheathe with it. One of the Trueblades caught the sheathe and the two generals begin to get into their fighting stance, daring each other to attack first. The prisoners that Daein capture watches with worry, not knowing what fighting capability Lucius process in his talent and ability.

Lucius attack first with a lunge and slashes that were block by Ryoma. The first attack caught Ryoma by surprise as he could witness that Lucius is not just skilled but he's also pretty quick. Ryoma plan was to use Lucius energy to drain as he continues blocking.

Ryoma went to block his right side that he thought Lucius was going to strike, but Lucius came in and shove his entire arm, using his legs and core strength for power, at Ryoma with an amount of explosion power. Ryoma backed up and was shoved again with the same move.

Ryoma almost fell and held himself up with his katana stab to the ground behind him. Ryoma quickly pulls his blade back in front to see that he just left himself wide open. Lucius came in with great speed and power slash down his vague katti at Ryoma.

The strike surprised Ryoma as the strike did slash part of his face when Lucius strike overpowers his block. Ok, Lucius is not just quick and skilled but he has a strength of a powerlifter.

Lucius strikes again aggressively and since Ryoma finally knows what he's up against, he decides to give some strikes back at Lucius that begin to even out the playing field. Ryoma almost caught himself off guard when Lucius spun with his sword and went to attack each side.

After the third attempt to hit Ryoma, Lucius sword was connected with Ryoma's katana and was pushed to Lucius's right. Ryoma's move got him little off balance as his shoulder connected with Lucius'.

Lucius used his left and back smack Ryoma, giving Ryoma a slight pain from the spikes from the knuckles of the crafty Daein gauntlets that every Daein soldier including militias wear.

Ryoma took the pain and got Lucius helmet with his katana, it did burn some of Lucius' face but didn't kill him due to the short distance and not enough power generated. Lucius backed away a few inches and both generals rub their face slightly and quickly. Ryoma cheek is bleeding and Lucius' face is burning with little pain.

Ryoma put his hand together to show respect to his opponent as Lucius show respect by pat on his chest armor and nod his head. Ryoma then looks at the Daein army to see soldiers were falling to the ground, some on from their horses, griffon, and on foot.

Ryoma looks with pity until he saw Lucius came in and went for another power strike down to the head. Ryoma side steps and slash his opponent sword to the ground and went for the body but Lucius quickly held his sword in time to block downwards and push Ryoma weapon back and went to slash his opponent but was blocked in time. The two begin fighting furiously again with strikes, blocks, and lunges.

Ryoma became more aggressive in his style as Lucius went defense and backed off as he was blocking every attack. Ryoma strikes were relied on speed and functional strength. After the last strike, Ryoma spun around and went for a stab to Lucius's stomach. Lucius turned his body towards his left side, only for the katana miss its mark and leave Ryoma wide open again.

Lucius swing his vague katti across Ryoma chest armor. Luckily, the swing didn't cut through the armor but scratch it. If Ryoma came a little bit closer, that swing could have finish Ryoma off or even kill him.

Ryoma back off in surprise that he still have a lot to learn from his opponent.

Near the carriage, Falko begins to speak to his blind master while eating a loaf of bread, "General Lucius is fighting like his ancestor, Gawain, today. I don't think there is a man alive that can stand against our great General."

The master smiles and confident that the battle is victory with certain.

Back to the battle, Lucius change sword hands and got a hold of Ryoma sword hand with his right. While holding onto Ryoma hand, Lucius turn his back and went to stab Ryoma.

Ryoma lifts his leg up to block by the arm and Lucius turn back to face his opponent. Lucius went for a lunge towards the face and Ryoma dodge after his right hand broke off of Lucius' grip.

Ryoma went back to defense as Lucius unleash more attacks. Lucius left hand grabs Ryoma's left arm to pull Ryoma to the ground. When Ryoma refused to go down, Lucius give a punishing hard punch to the head down to the ground.

Lucius went to strike Ryoma but missed when Ryoma roll out of the way and got back on his feet. Lucius and Ryoma went at it again as they exchange strikes at each other, Lucius grab hold of Ryoma left arm and went to slash at Ryoma side but was met with Ryoma katana. Lucius give Ryoma an elbow to the side and went to strike but was intercepted by Ryoma arm.

Ryoma then did a rolling judo toss that threw Lucius over and that got all of Hoshido cheering.

Lucius got up and start panting desperately for air and dare Ryoma to attack this time.

Ryoma didn't take it and continue to go on defense, knowing that Lucius might have something up his sleeves.

"Look! Sandstorm!" One of the Hoshido swordsmasters pointed and everyone including the Daein army.

Ryoma looks at the panicking Daein army and the sandstorm then back to the aggressive attacking Lucius who wish to end the duel with a win. The fighting continues and both went grabbing each other sword hands and begin to push their swords into one another, trying to end the duel but it turns out Lucius was lacking strength this time and it seem equally match.

Falko came out of the carriage with the faint blind master who show no sign of movement, "General!"

Falko ran behind the Daein captains who begin to mourn for their master.

The two generals got out of their strength test and the two were separated. Lucius went to try to be the aggressor again but Ryoma held his hand up and shout, "Hey. Wait."

Lucius didn't listen as Ryoma back up with his hand still holding up, "Stop."

"What?" Lucius said with frustration and confusion.

"Listen to me."

Lucius stop and begin to listen as Ryoma say, "Sandstorm is coming. Let us stop fighting."

Ryoma points to the ground and continues, "Drop your weapon. I'll let you in... or... we bury here together"

Ryoma points at the mourning Falko and said, "The boy too."

Lucius doesn't seem to trust until Ryoma offers to put his weapon down first. Lucius answer by making a request, "We need food and water for my men. Medicine for the child."

Lucius then place his weapon next to Ryoma's and continue, "And I need a place to think."


Well, what you guys think? I may have a lot of work to put on but if you're curious of the term such as 'Praven Vanguard' and 'Nevassan Guard'... They are on my other fire emblem story.

Praven Dragonknight is not on yet and reminder again, they are not wyvern riders. They are cavalry that the mount is heavily armored and the rider helmets are shaped as a dragon head.

The lyric of Azura song is on youtube. Link: put this after youtube: /watch?v=AhwOs-M-JfE

There will be the reason why Lucius look like he is winning. Experience in years is one and yes, he's older than Ryoma and Marx combined if they are in their 20's. So the age of Lucius is actually in his late 80's even though he looks like around 20. He's a hawk branded. Sorry if I made him too powerful.
