Fall and Rise
By: Asagi Tsuki
Pairing: Harry/Draco, very light hints at other pairings, almost non-existent
Full summary: the five kingdoms of Magvel have been living in peace for a long time, until one day the peace is disrupted by a sudden attack from the kingdom with the strongest military power. Forced out of his own kingdom, Draco rushed to his brother's aid to put a stop to the war, with the help of old and new friends, and of course, their trusted knights
Warning: AU, OCs, OOCness, era mix-up (from the Marauders to Scorpius Malfoy)
Disclaimer: obviously, Harry Potter is not written by me. If it were, it would be so lame, that this fandom would be non-existent. And I would be off writing another book instead of fanfics
A/N: this is based on the game Fire Emblem: the Sacred Stones, but there are changes, both minor and major. I've cut down the number of characters from the original game, yet still I have to get some OCs in this fic. They'll only hold very minor roles, though, don't worry.
About the era mix-up, you'll see what I mean soon, hopefully.
I wrote this fic first for the DBSK fandom, but then it died. I picked it up and rewrote it to fit the HP fandom better, and this is also my project for Nanowrimo, so expect quite a long story. I do try to put some action scenes, but everyone knows I'm absolutely crappy at those, so bear with me.
The prologue is necessary to understand the geography of the whole story. Please do read it first. I uploaded the prologue and the first chapter together so you could get to the story immediately, but don't forget to read the prologue first, or it will be confusing when I start mentioning the name of the places in the actual fic.
Anyway, enough babbling. Enjoy!
Prologue – The History of Magvel
In this world, there were many continents. One of them was Magvel, a large continent comprising of five kingdoms. In the middle of said continent, stood the kingdom of Renais, ruled by King Lucius Malfoy. Married to a duchess named Narcissa Black who gave birth to his two sons; a twin named Scorpius Malfoy and Draco Malfoy. It was a highly prosperous kingdom with ties to most other kingdoms. The kingdom was peaceful, protected by the royal knights sworn to loyalty.
To the west of Renais, another small kingdom stood, named Frelia. The kingdom was ruled by King Arthur Weasley. The queen had died after giving birth to her second child, so it remained that the kingdom was ruled by the king and the prince and princess, Ronald Weasley and Ginevra Weasley.
To the south of both Renais and Frelia, at the southeastern corner of the continent, stood Grado. It was a fairly big kingdom, well-known in all Magvel for its military strength. However, Grado was ruled by Emperor Vigarde, a compassionate man, and no one feared Grado's strength. Emperor Vigarde had only one son, Blaise Zabini. The Grado empire was also well-known for their generals that were nicknamed after precious stones, the pillars of strength of Grado.
Between Renais and Grado was the small border town Serafew. There, citizens of both Renais and Grado gather to discuss the peace treaty they had had for such a long time. All civil meetings between the two allied kingdoms were to be held there, and some civilians lived there as well. Slightly further from this town, more in the Grado region, lay a fort surrounded by a lake, connected to the mainland by only a bridge—the fort Renvall.
To the south of this fort, en route from Frelia to Grado, was a port city Bethroen, nestled right next to a swamp area, known as the Za'albul Marsh. Right after the marsh is the Grado empire.
To the northeast of Renais, was Jehanna, a desert kingdom ruled by Queen Ismaire. The kingdom relied on other kingdoms for crops and most other goods, and in return they provided mercenary services, as mercenaries from Jehanna were known to be the best. However, the crown prince of Jehanna was reported to be missing since a couple of years ago, and no one seemed to know where he went. Some said he had gone on a journey to broaden his horizon, but no one was ever sure.
The fifth and last kingdom of Magvel is Rausten, settled at the far northeast corner of the mainland. It was a kingdom filled with magic-users, ruled by King Mansel. At the moment the only princess and heiress of Rausten had also gone missing, just like the crown prince of Jehanna, away on a journey to vanquish evil, as she had said.
In between the route to Rausten and Jehanna from Frelia, a small area named Carcino lay. The most influential village in the region was Caer Pelyn, where sages gather to train their magic. To the east of Carcino, stood a mountain peak infested with gorgons, a place where they breed, named Neleras Peak.
Lastly, to the west of Rausten, north of Jehanna, lay Darkling Woods. It was a great forest, home to the Great Dragon Morva and another young dragon. They were known as Manakete, a race of dragons who could assume human forms, and transform into dragons with the aid of their Dragon Stones. Behind the Darkling Woods lay a small cave protected by the Great Dragon, where most dark rituals were done before the first Great Dragon came and sealed off the cave. Ever since then, it was the duty of all Great Dragons to protect the cave.
Morva and the young dragon were the last known Manaketes that were after the Scouring, the great war of the dragons. It had happened in another continent, the continent of Elibe, and they had fled to Magvel in search of some peace.
For years on end, the five kingdoms had lived in harmony with each other, until one fateful day when everything changed. This is their story.
