Hey everyone, it's Kris here with the very first chapter of my Fire Emblem story. Now I will inform you that this story will be uploaded onto this account and not my main one. With that said I hope you all enjoy this story and I hope I can get a good run with it. Now sit back and let's take a ride.
0000000000
Thousands of years ago, dragons, demons, and monsters ruled the land. They lived in peace with each other and were ruled by four celestial gods. Herus, god of water who controled the sea and storms. Quadrus, god of earth who leveled the land and created crops. Blazus, god of fire who awakened the sun and created light. And Ventus, goddess of wind who brought about life and supplied oxygen for the inhabitants. These four gods and their power created the land of Helius.
However there was a fifth god. Xylus, god of darkness who brought death and destruction wherever he may go. He wanted control of the land himself, but the four gods never allowed him access to their share. Xylus informed each of the four gods that the others wished for their destruction. Thus the four gods divided Helius into four nations, Kamui, Rizzon, Ignis, and Vipik. With the four gods now against each other, Xylus now can take the land all to himself. He used his dark magic to transfer the four gods into crystal orbs and seal them away. But the four gods used all their power to deplete Xylus of his power before being sealed away. Xylus then sent the four orbs across the land, believeing nothing will find the four gods.
The continent of Helius. seven-hundred years after the gods were sealed, man was born and became the dominent species of the land. Four kingdoms discovered the four orbs and kept them as a symbol of their nobility and were past down from generation to generation. These four kingdoms built their nations off of the myths of the gods that inhabit the jewels.
The kingdom of Ransa, ruled by Lawrence, the gallant Warrior King and the keeper of the Inferno Gem. The kingdom of Taura, ruled by Reymis, the wise Wizard Lord and keeper of the Tidal Gem. The kingdom of Honda, ruled by Odion, the King of Thieves and holder of the Mountain Gem. And the kingdom of Benhai, ruled by Seripa, Queen of a Thousand Arrows and holder of the Tornado Gem. These four countries hold the power of the gods.
Three hundred years later, a new evil has risen. Their first target, the smallest of the four countries, Benhai.

Prologue: The Fall of Benhai
0000000000
Benhai, the Kingdom of the East, ruled by Queen Seripa. A peaceful place inhabited by farmers. Unaware of the coming evil.

Inside Benhai Castle
0000000000
A young looking man opened a door and walked out into the hall of the castle. The man had hair as black as charcoal wrapped in a braid, a black coat with a gold trimming around it, a pair of blueish-white slacks, black martial arts shoes, and a golden headband with an emblem of tiger. He stretched his arms and let out a big yawn.
"Good morning, young master Edwin." A feminine voice greeted starteling the young man.
The voice came from elderly woman who wore a black robe and golden sash around her waist.
"Good morning Matilda." Edwin greeted taking a bow to the elderly woman.
"Young master, Grant is looking for you to continue with your training." She stated.
"Do not worry, I shall be there in a minute." Edwin said as he bowed to her and left.
"Be careful young one." Matilda said to him as he left.
"What a sweet young man, how you've grown." She thought as she walked away.

Training Grounds
0000000000
Edwin walked into the training grounds and watched two soldiers practicing their slashes before being tapped on the shoulder.
The person who tapped Edward was a young looking man, but slightly older than Edwin. He sported brown hair that was slicked back complimented with a matching chinstrap beard. He wore a gray steel breastplate, gauntlets and shoulder pads over a purple cloth shirt with chainmail under, and steel boots.
"Good morning, Grant." Edwin greeted.
"Good morning your majesty." Grant greeted back. "Are you ready for today's training session?"
Another soldier walked towards Grant and stepped close to him.
"What is it?" Grant asked before the soldier whispered something in his ear. "I see. I'm sorry master Edwin, but we will have to schedule this practice another time, I've been called to the queen's throne room."
"Very well then Grant, I'll return to my quarters." Edwin said as he was sheething an Iron Sword.
The two soldiers walked away leaving Edwin alone with the practice dummy.
"Time for a little solo training." Edwin said to himself as he raised the sword.

Benhai Castle: Queen's Throneroom
0000000000
Many soldiers were gathered in the throneroom as Queen Seripa sat on her throne.
Queen Seripa was a beautiful looking woman with fair skin and long ebony hair. She wore a black dress and carried a staff that carried the emblem of Benhai.
A soldier came to her and got onto one knee showing a sign of respect.
"You may rise." She said allowing the soldier to stand.
"My queen, enemy forces have breached the castle walls, it is unknown who they are working for, but we can only assume it may be one of the other nations." The soldier stated.
"I see." Seripa said. "Grant!"
"Yes milady." Grant said putting a hand on his heart.
"If these forces are being led by the other nations, I have no choice but to fight. Take Edwin and leave Benhai." Seripa ordered.
"Of course, I shall order Angelo, Joseph, and Theo to keep the civilians protected." Grant said as he ran out the throneroom.
"Edwin, my son, I love you, be safe." Seripa thought.

Training Grounds
0000000000
Edwin continued to attack the wooden log. He did his cries and yells as he slashed the log. Unaware of the danger that lurked behind him.
"Hey, aren't you the prince?" A voice asked.
"Yes, who wants to know?" Edwin asked before turning around.
The man who asked Edwin was a man of decent built and messy red hair. He wore torn black pants and a sleeveless red shirt.
"I'm Donzap the Mighty, leader of this band, and your killer." The man introduced.
"Surely you jest?" Edwin asked. "I'm a trained fighter, I do not fear such lowly bandits."
"We'll see if you feel the same way with my axe gunning for you." Donzap stated as he drew out an Iron Axe.
"MASTER EDWIN!" A voice called making Edwin turn to see Grant.
"GRANT!" Edwin called before dodging a swing from Donzap's axe.
"Do not turn you back to your opponent. We shall fight them together." Grant said as he drew out an Iron Lance.
"Will you be alright?" Edwin asked.
"I will be fine, let's finish these bandits!" Grant cried.
"CHARGE!" Donzap called.

"Master Edwin! Do you remember what I taught you about the weapon triangle!?" Grant asked.
"Yeah, Swords beat Axes, Axes beat Lances, and Lances beat Swords!" Edwin called.
"Exactly, you'll have an advantage against them!" Grant answered.

"I took a hit from that last Brigand, I should heal." Edwin said to himself before noticing he had no Vulnerary. "Great, no Vulnerarys."

"Young lord, we must leave now!" Grant ordered.
"What about my mother?" Edwin insisted.
"She will handle the violence here, and instructed me to take you to somewhere safe." Grant continued as he got on a brown horse.
Edwin looked at the castle and then looked at Grant. He got on top of the horse and held onto Grant as the two men rode off.
"Mother, I promise, I will come back for you." Edwin thought as they rode off into the village.
