The day had finally arrived. Gangrel was no longer among the living, Plegia had surrendered, and The Shepherds found themselves on the winning side of a grand conflict. But not everything was positive. The Exalt, Emmeryn had taken her own life to give The Shepherds a final chance to end the conflict. As well as becoming a Martyr, causing the sane soldiers in Plegia's army to consciously object to further violence. The soldiers who remained with Gangrel to Wes, deserved the same fate as The Mad King. Now everyone was back in Ylisstol, and Chrom was to be the next Exalt. Sumia was to be his bride after he proposed shortly after the final battle concluded. At this point the ceremony will begin shortly. But before the ceremony can begin, Chrom called for a few people in his room. They were: Lissa, Frederick, Robin, Sumia, and lastly, Wes. Despite being the most foreign to the continent and to the Shepherds, they all welcomed him warmly for the most part. Frederick, and Sully suspected him at first due to him being from another continent entirely but they learned to relax around him (which will be shown in their supports respectively.).
"Chrom? You have called for me?"
"Yes Wes. I just wanted to thank you for contributing to the effort against Gangrel. No words can express my thanks."
Wes feigned annoyance. In all honesty he was tired of all the praise but he realized that since he was a living historical figure, he learned to deal with it.
"It was nothing. Hopefully this will be the end of the needless violence. In truth, Emmeryn's suicide made me contemplate being conscious objector myself."
"Her message was truly powerful. Some days I can't believe that she is really gone."
"We have all grieved, myself included. But we can't keep living in the past."
"You are correct Wes. As usual."
"Oh stop it Chrom, you know I despise praise."
Wes said nonchalantly. Chrom chuckled at the humility but quickly turned serious.
"May I ask you a question Wes?"
"Of course."
"Am I ready to rule?"
Wes had a feeling that this is why Chrom called him up. Wes sighed calmly before stating his answer.
"Do you want my answer as a friend or as a war ally?"
"Both. Preferably friend."
"As a war ally, it doesn't matter whether you're ready or not. Someone has to rule and since you are the oldest living member of your family, you don't have much choice."
"That's what Robin and Frederick said. As a friend?"
"As a friend, from personal experience we're never ready for the most important parts of our lives. I wasn't ready to become a Husband in an arranged marriage. I wasn't ready for my Promotion into a Druid. And none of us were ready to deal with Emmeryn's passing. But from what I learned from all those times, is that the one thing that will help you adjust is time. You may be nervous now, but you will settle and the anxiety will dissipate with your growing confidence. Plus, like with Emmeryn's suicide you will be surrounded by people who have your best interests, your personal health, and your sanity in mind. Something that I had little of when Magi was killed."
"But you will not be here after I become Exalt aren't you?"
Word had spread that after the war was done and over with Wes would return to the small village where The Shepherds first met him.
"I said I would help you end the war. And now that the war is over, I have no reason to stay here. I like peace and quiet, but I also like to not be bothered during those times. That's why I came here to Ylisse in the first. The War with The Black Fang had just settled at this point. I wanted to not deal with that aftermath, so I left. Only to be dragged into another war that I'm not directly involved in. At this point I just want to be left alone. Besides, even if I were to stay here I don't have anywhere and while Frederick and I are now close I don't think he would be on board with me staying the palace. And I refuse to have you give me free property, that'll make people suspicious. So the village is the only place I can go, that isn't Latasi. But I refuse to go back there as well. The Magic Council of Elibe can kiss my behind for all I care."
"Well after all that, I guess I can't stop you. Will we meet again after today?"
"I'll make sure that I ever intend on visiting Ylisstol, I'll let you know. It's the least I can do in that scenario. Now, your Ascension Ceremony is about to begin, best not to keep your subjects waiting."
"Wes. Thanks again for your help."
"No need to be redundant Chrom. Go knock em dead."
Wes said before leaving his room.
Ending: Wes - History's Greatest Footnote
After all the fighting was done and over with, Wes returned to the small village where the Shepherds first found him. Despite the tales of his journey in Elibe and his key involvement in all of Ylisse's present wars Wes remained one of history's greatest enigmas. All of which was at his request. Those who knew him said he lived a full and happy life.
A/N: And that concludes Wes' supports with Chrom! Up next the Robins! After that, I'm torn between Lissa, Sully or Ken's introduction. Eh whatever, it'll come to me when I'm ready to make a decision. Thanks for reading and keep an open eye for my other stories, TLAD is currently in development as well as Stories so stay tuned for those. If you want me to do another character's supports, let me know with a review or a PM. These don't take too long to make as my others stories so I can do any supports you ask of me. Or you can just vote on my poll on my page. That'll work too. I'll see you all later. Later!
