Mike AZ 2: Thank you for understanding. As for Stefan and Volke, I felt that I had to introduce the third-class tier here because they both come as third-class in Radiant Dawn, and they had to get it from somewhere, so here you go.

Kylequicksliver: Glad you're enjoying the fic.

Quick Note: Only Stefan and Volke are getting 'Third-tier' promotions. No one else will get promotions for the rest of this story.

Enjoy the Chapter readers

AN: (11/30/2020) Still alive, school is taking most of my attention as well as life. So, the next chapter won't be for a while, but I'm hoping to get it done at least before the year ends. So, I've taken the liberty to re-edit some bits of this chapter and express my dislike of it in the game.


Everyone who's fighting just focus on seizing Fort Pinell! Anyone else not fighting just focus on putting all the fires out! We'll sort this out! Just don't panic and put your armour back on!

-Titania


Astrid- Put your gear back on right now! Gatrie and most of the male half of the army is staring at you and drooling.

Bastian- Put your clothes back on right now, or else I'll allow Lucia to cut you with her swords!

Boyd- Even by your standards, trying to literally fight fire with axes is seriously idiotic! Damn it, why are you still trying it?!

Brom- You wouldn't happen to know where I can buy really strong wine in kegs anywhere, would you? "Why…...?" Oh, no reason.

Calill- If you know how to reverse fire spells, now would be a very good time to do so!

Elincia- I assure you that I'll make Tormod reimburse you for setting your land on fire... As will Soren if we catch him.

Devdan- Put your gear back on right now, or else I'll take away your flower-viewing privileges!

Gatrie- Of course YOU would yell out for everyone to strip off their gear and fight the battle with barely any clothes on! If I weren't angrier at Soren and Tormod, I'd yell at you for most of our soldiers, both genders, ACTUALLY DOING IT!

Geoffrey- Put your gear back on right now, or else I'll let Elincia thrash you!

Harr- You may not call Shiharam's idea of having him, you, Marica, Elincia, Tanith, and Jill take buckets of water to the fires a 'Hexagon Attack'.

Ike- You can't make a whirlwind to put out the fires by 'spinning around with your sword' Commander. Besides, wind makes the fires worse, as Soren is demonstrating…

Ilyana- You cannot eat fire! Do NOT try it!

Janaff- I need you and Ulki to find those two little shits, and FAST! I don't care how many Daien soldiers you have to kill to do it!

Jill- Thank you for helping with fire control, but please put your gear back on. Some of your platoon has fallen off their wyverns from staring at you and your father is glaring at those who didn't.

Largo- Take this Halberd and kill all of the Daein paladins to death. Why? Because people die when they are killed. "Why did you say something that obivous...? Are you alright?" I... actually don't know why I said that. I think the smoke is getting to me.

Lethe- So rather than just kill them, you've decided to throw the Feral One handlers into the flames and have them burn to death… 'sigh' This is why you don't listen to Zihark. What do you mean it was Ike's idea?

Lucia- Tempting, but the men aren't drooling enough to make much of a dent in the fire.

Makalov- Throwing wine bottles just increases the flames! Use water you dingus!

Marcia- That's what happens when you listen to Gatrie. Put your gear back on so you can get back to putting the fires out without men drooling at you.

Mia- Put your clothes back on right now! You caused Rhys to faint when you accidentally flashed him!

Mist- You cannot HEAL the fire away dear. It doesn't work like that.

Mordicai- Normally, I'd be upset because of emptying the camp's drinking water kegs for this, but because of what Tormod did. I'll let it slide.

Muarim- You let this happen, and you're getting punished for it, mister.

Nephenee- Yes, we ARE fortunate that none of this land has tumbleweed. Otherwise, we'd be dealing with moving fireballs.

Oscar- It's your fault that you don't take better care of your weapons. Did you honestly expect that your lances would magically repair themselves after you break axes with them?

Ranulf- I KNOW THE BATTLEFIELD IS ON FIRE RIGHT NOW! Why exactly did you need to point that out to me Captain Obvious?!

Reyson- Still have some of that wine left? No? Good, we don't want to risk it making things worse. When this is over, I'm introducing you to whisky.

Rhys- Just... Just go take a nap. I'll wake you when the battle ends… or when I need hangover cures. Whichever comes first.

Rolf- You can't just put any unused 'fire' arrows back in your quiver. You'd just set yourself on fire.

Shiharam- I will not blame you if you decide to drink and then nap after this.

Shinon- You should be ashamed of the fact that Soren used you as a distraction for his plan.

Soren- Consider yourself dead; unless Ike saves your ass, which is very unlikely right now, you're toast.

Sothe- This is only going to happen once, and only because of the extenuating circumstances. Have fun pickpocketing. The caveat is that the army gets to pick and choose half of it and you can fence the rest.

Stefan- It's still nice to know that you just shrug at the chaos and just kill enemies heading your way… What will it take to convince you to lead the next battle?

Tanith- Thank you in advance for having your platoon help put the fires out… Yes, I will need a drink after this. Feel free to join.

Tauroneo- SUPLEXING ISN'T THE ANSWER. YOU CAN'T SUPLEX FIRE! STOP TRYING TO DO IT!

Tibarn- I'll explain later! Focus on Nados Castle, please!

Tormod- Don't think for an INSTANT that you're getting off scot-free for this! Don't even THINK of running away either!

Ulki- You still get to keep your raise. The blame on this is entirely Soren's, so go hunt him down.

Volke- Have fun, loot all the bodies. The same deal applies as with Sothe… 45%... 45%... 40% and we let you have whisky. Good, glad we could come to an agreement

Zihark- Putting the blade of your sword into fire doesn't make a fire sword, it makes an easier-to-break, weaker sword. Please stop… or at least limit this bullshit to the iron and bronze swords.


AN: A new chapter that didn't take as long to finish as the last one (At the time of writing.) But the next chapter won't be nearly as quick to arrive as I have a plan for that one.

I really hate this goddamn map... Aside from the fact that it's huge and there are enemy units everywhere. And the fact that you're forced to use a Level 1 Elincia and keep her from dying, which will happen, a lot. AND the fact that it takes forever if you don't have good mounted units deployed! So, it's getting set on fire courtesy of Tormod and Soren.

Next time... Comes Ike's Moment of Fate...

Please read and review, and thanks again to AustSakuraKyzor for editing/co-writing.
