Hello everyone…welcome back to "Motive for War" this chapter will be another attempt by Gangrel to start a war. Wonderful.
Ylissitol
Chrom was in bed, dreaming of how the battle could have turned out. In his dream, Gangrel was slain by his blade, and everything was peaceful from there on out. Plegia fell apart and Renov took over as king. Plegia and Ylisse were at peace. Then, his dream went down another path. He was about to stick his sword in Gangrel's chest, but Gangrel had already stuck a blade into his gut.
Chrom woke up before anything else could unfold. When he had awoken, Renov had just past the open door. Renov looked at Chrom with a strange look. For Chrom looked scared.
"Well, good morning Chrom, taken that you didn't sleep well?" Renov said with a questionable tone in his voice. Chrom slowly breathed and got up from his bed.
"No, not really, had an odd dream. Gangrel had put his blade in my stomach instead of me putting the blade in him. Just goes to show ya, anything could have happened at that battle." Chrom said as he put his armor on. Renov left the room, and so did Chrom. Chrom was tired, that battle had taken a lot out of him.
Outside of Ylissitol
Vasto sat outside of the walls of Ylissitol with a small group of wyvern riders, specifically 4 other riders. This would be his second attack on the kingdom. He did not expect to survive, for he was just trying to execute Gangrel's plan. Vasto and his men were to head to Ylissitol and enter the castle. If any of them were to fall, Vasto would say that he was trying to find peace. And send the others to alert Gangrel that they did not accept.
And as planned, they entered the castle, surprisingly undetected. Chrom met Vasto and his men as soon as they barged in the doors. He pulled out falchion and pointed it at the 5 riders. Vasto and Chrom looked at each other with evil glares. Other Ylissian troops came to Chrom's assistance.
"State your business, or I will be forced to get rid of you." Chrom carefully watched the riders as they laughed and sneered. They obviously did not come for a good cause.
"Go ahead prince! Get rid of us! I dare you!" Vasto laughed with an evil grin. He and the 4 other riders held their hands out, awaiting anything Chrom were to unleash upon them.
Chrom looked at them one by one and decided to slash one of the weaker riders. The rider fell with its wyvern and Vasto was pleased, for his planned had worked. Chrom watched as Vasto put a grin on his face from the death of his own troop.
"We came for peace, your highness….and you have already put an end to a rider and wyvern. Oh Gangrel will not be pleased." Vasto flew with his 3 remaining riders. Chrom knew that everything Vasto said was a lie. But Gangrel would have his war, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Plegia castle
Gangrel was pleased to be back in his own castle, it felt nice to sit in his throne again. He had not felt good since the day of the battle, and needed a little peace, as much as he hated to admit. Vasto had reported back with the good news, the Ylissians have fallen for his trap.
"Well done Vasto, you are literally one of my most faithful commanders. You try and get some rest now, I'm feeling generous today." Gangrel could not believe his words. He had actually said nice words upon to one of his troops. It was despicable. Vasto was shocked as well. Was Gangrel going soft?
Gangrel pulled his Levin sword out and pointed it at Vasto. He had an angry look in his times. Vasto looked slightly less surprised. That was at least more like the king he knew.
"What I meant to say, was that you should get lost before I give you more work!" Vasto fled the castle in a matter of seconds and Gangrel sat back in his throne. Something came to realize something. He had not seen Aversa anywhere since the battle.
Ylissitol
Emmeryn was still sleeping at the time. She was so glad to be back in her own bed, instead of a rock floor. She had awoken and opened the window. She felt happy that Plegia and Ylisse would, hopefully, not be fighting for a while. For Gangrel had lost his first battle, and that first battle told a lot. He wasn't expecting a war.
Emmeryn took a breath of fresh air again. She walked over to her door, and to her surprise, saw Renov just about to knock. She invited him in, and he gladly accepted. Renov poured her a glass of tea that he brought up with him.
"So Renov, why did you decide to talk this fine morning?" Emmeryn said as she sipped her tea. Renov had told her what had happened at the doors. Emmeryn listened as Renov told her about how it could give Gangrel enough power to lead a full scale assault on Ylisse.
Emmeryn thanked Renov for the tea and walked down to the doors, where Chrom was waiting there for her. They left the castle and went out to Ferox.
Ferox
Chrom and Emmeryn finally reached Ferox. They went to the arena where, Flavia and Basilio were waiting for them. Emmeryn discussed the matters of what threat Gangrel could be to both kingdoms, if they did not join forces.
"Well I have to hand it to ya, you sure can convince a man, can't ya Miss Emmeryn! Alright it's settled, Ferox will supply Ylisse with the soldiers she needs!" Basilio shook hands with Emmeryn, not caring what Flavia had to say in the situation,
Emmeryn and Chrom went back to Ylissitol. They reached their goal and got enough troops to fight off Plegia if needed. Emmeryn and Chrom, having reached home, fell asleep. Everyone else was pleased with their safe arrival.
Plegia castle
Gangrel looked over his balcony to see thousands of troops lined up. He laughed at the sight. With one swift motion of his hand, the whole wave of Barbarians, Dark Mages, Wyvern Riders, Myrmidons, Thieves, and all sort of other troops. Gangrel was so close to achieving his goal.
"I'll have my war soon, and when I do, there will be no Ylissian left alive."
We getting into some good stuff here! Gangrel is having some fun now isn't he! Well guys and gals I'm out!
