School's out now! (but still have to sign the Approval Sheet for the feasib) Since the latest Voting Gauntlet is over and there is a new banner coming, I can't wait to play it tomorrow!

By the way, spoilers from the Genealogy of the Holy War if you didn't play the game.

Disclaimer: see prologue

Interlude 3: Tryfing and Vallaflame don't mix. Period.

"Announcement!" Feh shouted cheerfully. All of the heroes are now gathering around the owl. "We have now the final result of the Voting Gauntlet!"

Then suddenly, a projectile shows the competing heroes. The top box seems empty. "After three days of fighting and hurling at each other ("We're not!" the dragon blooded participants shouted), we are now declaring the winner!"

"And who is the winner in this gauntlet?" Eldigan asked.

"And the winner is…." Suddenly, Ninian's face popped out of the top box. "Ninian, from the world of Blazing!"

"Whohooo!" Hector cheered, fist pumping in the air. "Finally! The world of Blazing has a winner in this freaking gauntlet!"

"After Lady Camilla ROBBED Lady Lyndis' win in the second round, I think we avenged her." Serra gloated, glared at the Nohrians. "We don't want a repeat of what happened!"

"After the 'Ephraim vs. Chrom' match?" Clair asked then she shrugged. "At least, the two Corrins are losing to the gauntlet for the first time."

"And you are going to wear the gauntlet dunce, my dear siblings." Xander teased as he and Ryoma holding the two cone-shaped hats from chapter 9. The two Corrins gulped as they saw the hats from their eldest brothers' hands.

"You know, we want to congratulate Lady Pherae, but-" Kamui said as he and Corrin began to run. "WE DON'T WANT TO WEAR THAT HAT!" and the two ran for their lives. The two Crown Princes chased after them.

"Come back afterwards! We have additional announcements to make!" Kiran hollered at the four. Then he turned to Feh. "Let's hear the announcement."

"First is that." Then Feh sipped a piña colada. "The world of the Holy War is now open and we can recruit new heroes!"

The four people from the Holy War world seems excited to this. "Who are they?" Eldigan asked, his tone seems that he is excited. "I want to see Sigurd and Quan again!"

"Will mother and father will be summoned?" Seliph asked, looking at the Pherae family congratulating Ninian. "Because I'm jealous at Roy right now."

"First is the Noble thunder, Tiltiu." Feh announced as she shows the picture of Titiu at them. Reindhardt and Olwen were shocked at the image.

"Is that-?"

"Yes, Olwen. It's Teeny's mom."

The others are reacted to the new hero.

"Another blue tome wielding user?"

"Hope she doesn't have a Dire Thunder because it's suck!"

"HEY!" Reindhardt reacted. "Dire Thunder is the best weapon for the blue tome wielding users!"

"To you and to your sis." Hector said. Ike and Zelgius agreed on him. "But to us, if we face a carbon copy of you wielding that tome, we're toast!"

"Point taken."

"Second!" Feh shouted so everyone got their attention on her. "Is the beautiful Lady of the Forest, Deirdre!" The image of Titiu was changed into the image of Deirdre. Everyone looked at Julia with curiosity.

"She's my mom." She said before anyone questions her.

"And she's my mom also." Seliph added if someone questions him.

"Last but not the least!" Feh shouted again. Everyone turned their attention on the owl again. "Is the Holy Knight himself, Sigurd!" The image of Deidre is changed to the image of Sigurd.

Eldigan smiled at the picture. "Finally. Can't wait to see him again."

"Me too, big brother." Lachesis agreed on him.

"It's father! Finally I don't have to look at Roy and Lord Eliwood now!" Seliph exclaimed happily.

"We have a fourth one." And the image of Sigurd is changed into the image of Ayra. "But according to Anna, we will recruit her in Tempest Trial, but we need to wait for the news until it was confirmed."

"I guess. After all, Ayra is very strong." Lachesis said. "She and Lady Lyndis will have a battle of the graceful swordsmanship."

"I'll better lose to Camilla, thank you very much." Lyn said.

"Awww, you're so sweet." Camilla teased.

"And there is a rumor of a Grand Hero Battle in that world!" Feh said, and then she looked at Seliph and Julia with a poker face. "And you two know this one."

"Let me guess? Julius?" Seliph guessed. "Because we don't want a second Prince Bruno around."

"Nope. Not him."

"Then who?" Julia scratched her head from guessing who.

"The King of Granvalle, Arvis." Feh deadpans. "According to the rumors."

Silence ensures that you can hear a pin drop on the floor.

Then, Seliph brandished Tryfing and swings it in the air.

"THAT MOTHER[BLEEP!]ING SON OF A [BLEEP!]? THAT GUY MAKES ME AND MY FELLOW ORPHANS' LIVES INTO A LIVING HELL!" Seliph berserked. Yes, the Scion of Light berserked at the name 'Arvis'. "I'LL FUCKING KILL HIM!"

Eldigan hold both of Seliph's arms to prevent him from attacking someone. "Calm down, Seliph. I know you have the reason to be angry at-"

"HE BARBECUED FATHER!" Seliph shouted. Everyone was stunned at his answer.

"Wait what?" Eldigan was confused as well. "Repeat that again, Seliph?"

"HE BARBEQUED FATHER!" Seliph shouted again. "AND ALL THE REST OF THE MEMBERS OF THE ARMY! HE ALSO STOLE MOTHER FROM FATHER BEFORE THE SIBLINGSHIP BETWEEN THAT BASTARD AND MOTHER WAS DISCOVERED!"

"And he's the one who was fooled by Lotpyr Sect." Julia muttered. "Brother, you must know that father is also a victim to that war."

"But-"

"Seliph. Please accept father, your uncle." Julia pleaded. Seliph lay down his weapon (Eldigan let him go first) and hung his head to the ground.

"Sorry." He muttered.

Eldigan took the Tryfing from Seliph's hands. "And wielding the Holy Weapon in public is very dangerous."

"That is much intense." Hector said after watching the scene. "And I thought that was happened in tales of the old."

"But I feel sorry for Seliph." Eliwood said at his friend. "Sigurd never had seen his own son growing up like he is today, so it is painful for a child himself to feel the loss of a parent."

"And that is the announcement for today!" Feh said, trying to lighten the atmosphere. "Don't worry, Seliph. It's just only a rumor so feel free to look at the bulletin board for confirmation." Seliph nodded and by that, everyone was dispersed.

"Wait, I forgot." Eldigan realized that he forgot to ask Feh something due to Seliph's rampage earlier.

"WHY QUAN ISN'T IN THE BANNER?!"

And that's it!

TV Tropes says that Lyn was almost win the second round in the previous voting gauntlet, only be robbed by Camilla because of the score multiplier (I know that Team Lyn is still salty for that up until now.)

As always, criticism is welcome!
