Chapter 4: Before the Storm
BGM: Pleasure Capital – Fire Emblem Fates
In Cyrkensia, in the kingdom of Nestra, the group outside the opera house was talking. Garon, Celsius and Arete, along with the young Azura. "Are you and your daughter alright ma'am?" Garon asked as Arete held Azura in her arms. "Yes, thank you milord, for saving us." Arete said, thanking Garon as he waved her off. "Please, just call me Garon, I'm not one for formalities." Garon said, smirking as Celsius sighed in annoyance. "No, you're one for finding the nearest woman and getting her into your bed as after a hard day's work bashing in the skulls of bandits, thieves and other trouble makers who try to harm your kingdom." Celsius said rudely, causing Garon to sputter as Arete chuckled. "Mommy, what does she mean?" Azura asked. "I'll explain when you are older Azura." Arete said, holding her daughter close as Garon regained his composure.
"Regardless, I'm sorry that you had been accosted by those bandits… but the timing of this event is not something I can ignore." Garon said as Arete stared and Garon and nodded her head. "Yes, I can see it, a group of bandits, rare enough on its own, having an organized attack on the opera house the same day the king of Nohr comes to visit is suspicious." Arete said as Garon nodded his head. "But Minerva is the one who put this excursion together, and she's my sister, and Garon's retainer for over a year now, aside from her who would have known about this?" Celsius pointed out, as Garon shook his head.
"I don't think it was Minerva. She's been working herself to the bone for me and for Nohr, beside she just said she had gotten us a show at the opera house, and a week here in Nestra. It's more likely someone caught wind of the event, most likely while we were on route to Nestra, given that the timing was sudden, and despite the large group, unorganized. This attack was likely nothing more than some bandits looking to plunder some noble's pockets and steal some women, which nether happened thankfully." Garon said, giving his own assessment.
"If I may interject Garon, Nestra has the highest crime rates on the continent. It's home to illegal gambling, many bandit groups, and even a few assassin guilds, one count call it Nohr's equivalent to Hoshido's ninja countries, just with a lot less honor and a lot more crime." Arete said. "Like I said, nothing more than a bunch of bandits looking to make a quick buck." Garon said, nodding his head.

"Get down!" Celsius yelled, Arete being caught off by the yell as Garon grabbed her and Azura and brought them down to the stone road as Celsius pulled her sword out of its sheath and blocked an arrow as a few more flew past Garon and Arete. "Great, just what we needed…" Garon muttered as he got up, holding Bölverk as Azura scrambled to hide behind his leg, Arete fumbling with her lance as Garon pushed her behind him. "Keep your head down. Celsius! What's going on!" Garon yelled as Celsius deflected another arrow and dived out of the way of a few more.
"We got guys on the rooftops, they don't look like bandits!" Celsius yelled back before pulling Siegfried out of its sheath with her left, and scared arm, pointing it at the rooftops as a beam of darkness fired from it, blasting an outlaw off the rooftop, dead. "My place is a few blocks down, we can try and hide there." Arete said quietly as Garon nodded. "Celsius clear us a path!" Garon shouted. "On it!" Celsius yelled back as arrows flew around her, one landing in her left shoulder, thankfully only piercing the skin as she pulled it out with a pained look on her face before pointing Siegfried at the adventurer who had shot at her, the adventurer rolling out of the way of the beam of darkness before returning fire, only for Celsius to block the arrow with Siegfried, blood dripping down her scared arm from the wound on her shoulder from the arrow as one landed in her back, Celsius rolling out of the way and into cover as Garon covered Arete and Azura with his cape to keep them safe.
"Celsius!" Garon called. "I'm fine! Stay in cover!" Celsius called back as she pulled the arrow out of her back before looking towards the roof tops and tossing the arrow back as hard as she could, the sound of someone rolling out of the way alerting her to the face she had nearly hit someone as she started to climb the building she was using for cover, jumping onto the roof and surprising the outlaw who had been looking for a shot at Garon. Dodging a few arrows that were fired at her from across the gap between the buildings she ran at the outlaw, who tired firing at her point blank, only for Celsius to slice his bow in half, before cutting his head off and kicking his corpse off the roof as she deflected an arrow with Siegfried.
"Go, she's got their attention." Garon said, rushing across the alley way, carrying Azura as Arete followed him, staying close to them as arrows flew above them at Celsius, who had jumped to another roof and was already fighting an assassin who had pulled out his sword while the others on the rooftops fired at Celsius, who had taken a shot to the side before flipping backwards and kicking the man's sword out of his hand, surprising him as Celsius flipped back up and slashed at the air with Siegfried, sending a razor wind the cut the assassin in half as she eyed Garon and Arete running towards Arete's house.
Another assassin climbed onto the roof with her, holding a knife as she spun around, blocking the attempted backstab with Siegfried before throwing her knee into the man's face, knocking him senseless for a moment as Celsius ran Siegfried through him, his corpse falling to the roof as she rolled behind and rooftop ledge, covering herself from arrows.
Sheathing Siegfried she pulled her own sword out of its sheath before quickly standing up and sending a razor wind at the rooftop across from the one she was on before running and jumping off the roof to the street below. Two assassins had ducked out of the way of her attack as another tried to shoot at her, missing by inches as Celsius ran to catch up with Garon and Arete as Arete pulled her house's door open and Garon got inside with her and Azura, Celsius running in after them before slamming the door shut, locking it by jamming a piece of metal into the doorknob to keep it from turning.
BGM: Dilemma – Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn
"Okay, we have a few moments to prepare, hide Azura." Garon said as Arete nodded, taking Azura from Garon and running towards a closest before opening it to get Azura in. "Who the hell are these guys?" Celsius asked as she pulled the arrow out of her side and dropped it to the floor. "An assassins' guild most likely, I knew something was up when we got attacked at the opera house." Garon said as Celsius cringed. "This is bad." Celsius muttered as Garon looked at her, the blood dripping off her from the arrows she had taken.
"That's an understatement, someone wants me dead." Garon said. "It can't be Minerva, but how the hell did someone get wind of you coming to Nestra?" Celsius asked as Garon closed his eyes. "I don't know… maybe one of the assassins knows, so we might have to catch one." Garon said quietly as Celsius looked out the windows, Garon pulling Bölverk off his back as Celsius went back to back with him and Arete hid by a window, holding her lance as Celsius and Garon watched the windows, silence reining as both the king and his retainer watched the windows and the door, waiting for the next attack.
An arrow flew through the window at Garon, the king of Nohr blocking it with Bölverk as Celsius swung her sword at the window, a razor wind being sent at it as an assassin tried to jump through the window, narrowly dodging the wind, but getting his bow cut in half as he pulled out his sword, a hood obscuring his face as a second assassin followed him in, holding a knife as Celisus charged at them, pushing them back out the window before jumping out it herself after them.
Garon was left alone with Arete as another assassin jumped into the window Arete was hiding behind, only to get speared in the back by Arete as he tried to aim his bow at Garon, Garon charging at the man before pushing him out the window and out onto the ground, bleeding out as another man swung into the window from above, kicking Garon in the face and causing him to stagger backwards as he raised Bölverk and got ready to swing.
The assassin however had grabbed Arete, causing her to drop her lance as he held a knife to her throat. "Move and she dies Garon." The masked man said. "Who the hell are you and what do you want!" Garon yelled at the him.
Outside Celsius was fighting several more assassins, several laying around her in heaps of their own body parts as one looked to try and run away and several others drew their swords, knives and one even had a bow aimed at Celsius. "Just try me." Celsius said quietly as she sheathed her sword, the men all closing in on her as she placed a hand on Alondite, pulling it out, the sword glowing gold as she spun it around in a circle above her, letting loose a circular razor wind that glowed with the power of sol as most of the assassins fell over decapitated from the razor wind hitting their necks, a few having ducks and the panicky one hiding behind a crate to avoid getting killed.
Celsius stood up, holding Alondite in her hand as her wounds mended themselves from Sol, Zelgius's scarf trailing behind her as she raised her scared arm above her head, the remaining assassins getting up and readying their weapons to attack once more. "Leave… and I'll let you live." Celsius said darkly, her eyes hidden by her hair as one assassin ran at her with his katana.
Celsius brought her arm down as she moved out of the way, knocking the katana out of the man's hand as she brought her knee up and hit him in the face with it as she swung Alondite down, cutting the man in twain before spinning around and planting Alondite in the skull of an assassin with a knife, trying to stab her in the back as she kicked at another one, blocking an arrow with Alondite before pulling out Siegfried with her left arm and pointing it at the assassin with the bow, a beam of darkness firing and piercing the man as he was unable to get out of the way.
Parrying a sword strike from the right with Alondite Celsius stabbed the assassin who try to attack her with Siegfried before turning around and cutting off the head of another behind her with Alondite. "What the hell are you?" One of the remaining masked assassins asked, most of them backing away in fear as Celsius looked up, her blue eyes burning bright with blue flames. "A monster." Celsius said quietly before flashing a rather uneasy grin, and almost instantly one of the remaining assassins found himself impaled by Alondite as Celsius pointed Siegfried as the last two, blasting both of them with a beam of darkness before breathing out in relief as she sheathed Siegfried.
The last assassin, who had been hiding behind a crate tried to sneak away, only for Celsius to run at the man and kick him through the window of the house, before jumping back in herself with Alondite in her hand.
Back inside before Celsius had kicked the man back in the masked man holding Arete started speaking to Garon. "Someone's offered a lot of gold for your head Garon… Enough to our own nation if we complete this job, now surrender or the woman dies." The masked man said, holding the knife close to Arete's neck as Azura peeked out of the closet, eyeing the lance on the floor and slowly creeping out of the closest.
"Who! Who wants me dead!" Garon yelled, pointing Bölverk at the man as he chuckled. "Does it matter? You'll be a corpse soon enough Garon." The man said. "Then who told you I would be here!" Garon said, knowing that the man had to have some info on who had leaked the fact he would be in Nestra to this guy. "Your wife, one them, can't figure out for the life of anyone who." The man said as Garon glared at him, unsure if he was just making fun of his open secret or if he was actually serious, either way pissed him off.
Aruza however grabbed the lance as best she could from the floor before clumsily stabbing at the man's thigh, the bronze weapon landing in the man's hip and causing him to drop Arete in pain as Garon ran at the man, grabbing him by the head before cutting his head off as Celsius kicked another assassin through the window, holding Alondite as the man scrambled to try and get away from her, only to run right into Garon and looking up in fear for his life.
"I SURRENDER DON'T KILL ME!" The man screamed in fear of his life as Garon, Celsius and Arete all looked down at the man, Celsius holding Alondite to his neck as Garon held Bölverk in his hands. "Then start talking! Who do you work for, Why am I being targeted, and how did you know we would be in Nestra!" Garon shouted at the man held his hands up in self-defense. "We got hired by some guy called Walhart, He wants you dead so that you can't lead Nohr during his invasion and he knew because one of your wives gave up the information because you've been spending too much time with someone called Minerva.
Both Garon and Celsius looked at the man before Arete looked at Garon. "Who's Minerva?" She asked as she held Azura. "One of my retainers, and Celsius' sister, she's also the one who kinda handles everything going on in Nohr while I'm out… doing things…" Garon said as Celsius scoffed. "You mean fighting crime, being a badass, and generally being a man of the people rather than politics." Celsius said, scoffing as Garon chuckled. "Yes that." Garon replied with a smirk as the man tried to scoot away from them, only for Celsius to plant her sword next to his head. "Don't move, we are talking." She said in a matter of fact tone as the man nodded his head in fear.

"This is great, some sort of invasion, one of your wives betrayed us, and now we need to get back to Nohr… some vacation." Celsius complained. "I know Celsius; this was supposed to be a vacation away from it all… now it just seems like we are back in the thick of things again." Garon said, closing his eyes before sighing. "Find some rope, tie this guy up, before we do anything I have to address the immediate concerns." Garon ordered as he kicked the floored assassin in the head, knocking him out as Celsius nodded. "Alright." She said, walking out of the house as Garon turned to Arete and Azura.
"Sorry about what has happened… if there is any way to make it up to you I'd be happy to oblige." Garon apologized for the mess around the house as Arete held Azura. "It's fine… line just never seems dull around here. It's nice to know that someone still cares for those who can't protect themselves." Arete said with a smile as Garon chuckled. "You should meet Zonta then, he's all about that sort of thing." Garon said before frowning. "He sounds like a nice man, but we have bigger issues to worry about." Arete said, holding Azura as Garon looked at her skeptically. "We? This is war Arete, and you have your daughter to take care of." Garon said as Arete nodded. "I know, but I don't want to stand idle while my daughter is put in danger." Arete said closing her eyes as she held Azura a little closer, the young girl hugging her mother.
"That's good to hear… if you want you can come back with us to the border walls." Garon offered. "Thanks for the offer… but I don't see why you are making it?" Arete asked. "I know potential when I see it Arete… and I think that Minerva needs someone to help her with her duties, the poor girl has spent a full year working herself to the bone for me, and you seem to be very good at the sort of thing she does." Garon said. "What does that mean?" Arete asked glaring at Garon as Celsius came back in with a coil of rope and started to tie up the assassin. "It means he thinks you are smart enough to help run a nation that he is too busy to be bothered to run himself." Celsius said, poking at Garon again as he growled. "I am never going to live any of this down am I?" Garon asked. "Nope, everyone is going to hold it over your head." Celsius shot back after tying up the assassin and lifting him up and throwing him over her shoulder.
"But what about my daughter?" Arete asked, Azura still hugging her mother as Garon turned away from Celsius. "She can come to, now come, if we want to reach the border walls by the end of the week we'll need to leave soon." Garon said, Celsius having already left as Garon, Arete and Azura left the house that was covered in blood.
BGM: Knowledge – Fire Emblem Fates
At the end of the week, three groups had arrived at the borders walls. The first to arrive was Minerva, who had been called away from Krakenburg to address the attack on the border walls, and she had brought Xander and Camilla with her, along with a pair of servants to take care of them for the sheer fact she didn't trust any of Garon's concubines being alone in Krakenburg with the children.
Getting off her horse she walked towards the general's office, or rather the new general's office after Zelgius's had been left alone out of respect. The doors were opened for the frail strategist as she walked in to see the new border general. The man wore green armor fit for a general with a lance and an axe laying on his weapons rack, the man himself of a rugged, yet surprisingly noble looked disposition. "Vigarde… report on the attack." Minerva said, tired from the long journey, and her own insomnia she had gained from dealing with the kingdom's issues day and night.
Vigarde frowned as he looked at the obviously tired and frail woman, he knew this was Garon's lead retainer, and was the one who handled most of Nohr's problems when it came to anything that didn't involve Garon smashing it to bits with his axe personally. "Ma'am, nearly a week ago we were attacked by an army of ten thousand men, led by someone called Walhart the conqueror. Thankfully we didn't suffer any casualties thanks to sir Benny, who held the line against all ten thousand men with nothing more than a lance he had found in his father's quarters." Vigarde said as the doors behind Minerva were pushed open.
"Hey Vigarde, our scouts have reported two groups on the horizon, from the south east is Garon's convoy, and from the east is a group of refugees with a large amount of soldiers with them." The man said. "Fado, I'm in the middle of something, wait did you just say lord Garon's convoy?" Vigarde asked after picking up what Fado had said. "Yeah, and a group of refugees assumed to be from the Renvall region." Fado said.
"Zonta's group? Open the gates for them, both groups." Minerva ordered. "Yes ma'am." Fado and Vigarde said, Fado leaving to open the gates. "Who was that?" Minerva asked. "That was my second in command, and basically a second border general in all but name to the men, Fado and I have been friends for a long time." Vigarde said, in a straight to the point tone. "Have a meeting place prepared immediately for everyone, both Garon's group and Zonta's group." Minerva ordered as Vigarded nodded. "As you wish ma'am." Vigarde said, getting up as Minerva was left alone in his office.
'Why would Garon come back now? His vacation was scheduled to last for a week, and judging by the time it would take to get between Nestra and here, he's only been there for a day… did something happen that forced him back?' Minerva thought as she turned to leave Vigarde's office.
Walking out she passed by someone she had hoped to see. Benny, holding a normal steel lance rather than the lance he had found in his father's quarters. "Benny." Minerva said, stopping just as the two passed each other. "Yes ma'am?" Benny asked, neither facing each other as Minerva spoke once more. "Good job, I think your father would have been proud." Minerva said. "I know." Benny said as the two started walking again, away from each other.
Minerva had gotten into the meeting room, alongside Vigarde and Fado when Garon arrived with Celsius and Arete. Their carriage next to the one Minerva had brought with her for the children and the servants she had brought. "What are you doing here?" Garon asked when he saw the servants holding his children sitting next to the carriage. "Lady Minerva doesn't trust your wives with the presence of the children… and frankly I don't blame her." The butler said as he fed Camilla a bottle of milk. "Ok… I can understand that… if you don't mind can I trust you two to look after this woman's daughter for a little bit, at the gates we got word of a meeting Minerva had called for." Garon said as the butler nodded. "Yes sir." The man said as Arete let go of Azura, bending down to hug her before speaking. "Be a good girl, alright sweetie?" Arete asked. "Ok mommy." Azura said back as her mother let go of her.
Garon led Arete and Celsius, who was dragging the tied up assassin, towards the room their meeting had been assigned to, Minerva already inside with Fado and Vigarde when the trio entered. "Lord Garon." Vigarde said upon seeing him open the door to the room and walk in. "At ease general, we'll wait for Zonta's group before we begin." Garon said, walking past Minerva and taking a seat at the head of the table, Celsius sitting next to her sister with the tied up assassin as Arete sat down next to her.
Tirado and Nichol arrived through the gates, bringing the forces of Renvall and the refugees from the neutral lands with them as a soldier came up to them and saluted before noticing Tirado carrying someone. "Sir there is a meeting for you and lord Zonta… wait… is that him?" The soldier asked looking at the bandaged corpse of Zonta, thinking he was just injured. "Yes… we'll be in the meeting room." Tirado said as he pushed back the guard, Nichol following them as they made their way to the meeting room.
"I told you before, I'm fine Garon." Minerva said, getting on Garon's case from bringing Arete as he shook his head. "You need help Minerva, when was the last time you slept?" Garon asked as he continued arguing with Minerva, everyone watching with some degree of amusement. "I always wondered what these fancy meetings were like… I did not expect this." The tied up assassin said in mild amusement as Celsius slapped him across the face. "Quiet." She said as he cringed.
Nichol opened the door to the room right then and there, Tirado walking in carrying Zonta's body as everyone looked towards the door as Tirado closed his eyes and set Zonta's body on the table. "Zonta's… dead?" Garon asked as he looked up at Tirado who pulled Zonta's sword out of its sheath on his back, before stabbing it into the table wood. "I'm going to kill him… I'm going to kill Walhart." Tirado proclaimed suddenly as Nichol put his hand on his armored shoulder. "Calm down, he wouldn't want you to throw your life away." Nichol said as Tirado lowered his head in anger.
"First Zelgius… now Zonta…" Celsius muttered as she closed her eyes. "How did this happen?" Garon asked as he looked up at Nichol and Tirado. "He ordered the men to evacuate themselves and the villages surrounding Renvall while he held off Walhart's army, numbering in a million men. Me and Tirado were the only back up he had… and he gave his life fighting Walhart directly, and then he let us go after killing Zonta." Nichol said as Tirado slammed his fist on the table, making a loud clank from the armor.
"As much as we want to mourn, we must look forward and not let his death be in vain. So now I'll call this meeting to order. Now tell me what we need to address." Garon said as everyone took a seat now, Tirado pulling Zonta's sword out of the table and holding it at his side as Nichol sat next to him.
"Alright… we need to address several things immediately, like what to do with the refugees from the neutral lands, how to bolster our forces, and how to combat an army that quite literally more than the population of Nohr." Vigarde said as he crossed his arms. "And what to do with this guy, who we still don't know the name of." Celsius said, poking the assassin on the head. "Watch it! My name is Rennac." Rennac said, not wanting to say anything stupid that could get him killed. "That name sounds a little foreign… are you from Hoshido?" Garon asked.
"Born there, abandoned, raised by thieves and taken in by a band of assassins." Rennac said, rolling his eyes. "Ok… you've probably seen some shit." Fado said, leaning back in his chair as he said that. "You have no idea, normally I was only brought in on infiltration and looting missions, but the one for the king here was so big the entire guild went in… and died." Rennac said as everyone looked at Garon and Celsius. "Something you want to tell us milord?" Nichol said rudely and in a mocking tone as Garon raised his hands in self-defense. "I have a bounty on my head from Walhart, not like anyone would be able to claim it." Garon said as Nichol leaned back in his chair and took an apple from his pouch.
"You still have those?" Tirado asked as Nichol looked at him out of the corner of his eye. "You can never have to many apples." Nichol said as he bit into it. "Do all of you have a rap sheet of weird quirks?" Rennac asked as everyone looked at him and Fado smirked. "I like to think Vigarde here is the blandest of us all, being the 'silent general'" Fado joked, only to get punched in the face by Vigarde, leaving him rubbing his cheek. "I'll take that as a yes…" Rennac muttered.
"Enough, both of you, we'll deal with Rennac here later." Garon said as Rennac scoffed. "Not like I have anything to go back to, you killed the entire guild except for me, I'd rather help fight this Walhart guy then go to jail." Rennac said before realizing he had said that out loud. "Me and my big fucking mouth." He muttered before Arete glared at him. "Basically draft an assassin into the army? We'd have to keep him on a tight leash." Vigarde said, rubbing his chin as Rennac scoffed. "I'm a rouge, not an assassin. I specialize in stealing crap, not killing." Rennac muttered.
"How good are you at scouting?" Minerva asked, looking at Rennac. "What about it?" Rennac asked. "If you are good as you say as getting in and out of places you could read Walhart's camp, give us a measure of his forces, and disrupt his supplies by stealing them from right under his nose." Minerva said as Rennac considered it. "If I get to stay out of prison after this is all over, fine." Rennac said. "Are you sure about this Minerva?" Garon asked as Minerva nodded. "Who better to get us information then a master thief who knows we could kill him in an instant. As an added incentive we'll let him keep his ill-gotten gains from Walhart's camp." Minerva said Renanc nodded. "Deal, now untie me." Rennac said. "Later." Celsius said.
"Ok that's him settled, now how about bolstering our forces?" Fado said as Tirado closed his eyes. "The forces of Renvall want vengeance for our fallen leader… we'll be here to fight." Tirado proclaimed as he looked at Zonta's corpse. "And I'm here as well, this time for good." Nichol said, putting his hand on Tirado's shoulder. "That still leaves the civilians."
Celsius said as Garon spoke. "We'll let then live by the walls, we can have a town build just behind the walls for them to live in until we deal with Walhart, it will also give the soldiers here somewhere to actually cool off that isn't far from the walls in case of an attack." Garon said. "But that means we'll be straining our food supplies, while the building materials are more than abundant without the sun our food supplies are going to be strained even more than they already are." Minerva said.
"Then increase trade with your allies, sell them more supplies for food and you'd get more right?" Arete reasoned as Garon nodded. "That's a sound plan, Fado, Vigarde, I'm leaving Rennac to you, Tirado, Nichol, you can bury Zonta… give the man a proper burial, and then you two and the Renvall forces are assigned here to the walls. Minerva, Celsius, Arete, we are heading to Krakenburg to get everything ready for the coming war… We'll need to mobilize the army and get the supplies shipped to the walls. I will not let a single man of Walhart's forces set foot in Nohr." Garon said as everyone in the room nodded.
Everyone soon set off on their separate ways. Tirado and Nichol went to gather the refugees and Renvall forces for Zonta's burial, Fado and Vigarde go ready to get Rennac sent out to scout, and Garon left with his group and his children for Windmire once more. The storm was coming, and Nohr would be more than ready to weather it.

AN: Holy crap finally! This is the third time I've had to rewrite this chapter due to technical issues. But yeah, war is on the horizon, three new characters are introduced and the next chapter is going to detail the two years between the start of the war, and the final battle. Which means lots of Garon and Arete action, with a not so healthy amount of alcohol and a few battles intertwined. To say it's going to be epic is an understatement.
