...Chapter 3: Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones and Radiata Stories...

The giant fell, defeated by the people before him. It was the giant, the Demon King, and his soul was gone, sucked away by a Sacred Stone. It barely stood a chance against them.

Cheers were heard throughout the shrine. The king started to deform, its body twisted around, and it dissapeared, summoned by the unknown figure, but the people thought it was gone.

The people were Ephraim, a blue haired young prince of Renais, a kingdom near the center of their world, his twin sister Eirika, the princess, Seth, leader of the knights of Renais, Innes, prince of Frelia, an ally kingdom of Renais, his sister, a Pegasus rider named Tana, a mercenary, Joshua, who was the prince of Jahanna, and Cormag, a wyvern-riding ex-soldier of Grado, now destroyed.

The others had retreated, and others still, such as Myrrh, who had to kill her own 'father', had run away after things happened that they couldn't take.

But the chaos was over, and they returned home after a celebration in Rausten, where they said their goodbyes to Princess L'Arachel. They headed home, Ephraim, Eirika, and Seth discussing how to rebuild their beloved home. They decided they would call forth strong warriors and order that the remaining monsters were to be killed.

They did not have much time to think, for a beam fell from the sky and enveloped the planet.

On a different world, the enemy too fell to the feet of the hero.

Aphelion, the silver dragon, lay at Jack, a young, smart mouthed 16 year old boy's feet. With him was Ridley, a blonde haired girl around the same age and height, who he had just tried to kill, for she was the vessel of the Gold Dragon. He had aimed to kill the humans at first, but felt pity from them and tried to kill the Gold Dragon to save them. There was also Ganz, their ex-captain, who weighed more than most, with blonde and brown hair, Gil, an elf assassin, and Gruel, the king of the Black Goblins.

Of course, Jack would not let Aphelion kill the person he cared for most, and he fought the dragon till it lay here, transformed into its human mode, a man named Lucian.

Lucian stared at Jack. "A victim of my own mission...Jack. Dragons exist only because humans wish for them to exist." They stared back at him, wondering about what he had said, but then, the tower they were on started to crumble. "Gold Dragon Castle is finished...fare thee well, powerful, loving humans..." Lucian started to fade, and thoughts of him returning to a long sleep, as all dragons do when they are defeated or replaced, before he dissapeared completely.

His heart thought of this, how he failed, but still won, against his own will. His soul, however, appeared before his master.

Gil and Gruel were ordered to retreat, and Jack, Ridley, and Ganz stared at the body of Gawain, Ganz's father, who had given his life to save them in the battle with the dragon. Jack and Ridley turned to run, but Ganz stayed. His look told them his decision to stay with his father, even if it meant death.

Jack was sad, but there was no way to change his mind and no time. He grabbed Ridley's hand and turned to run, when a beam of bright light hit the top of the tower.

Zane, king of the elves, stood far away in the fort called Helencia. He saw the beam, and thought it was the destruction of the humans beginning. That did happen before the true nature of the beam hit, and the only humans left alive were Jack, Ridley, and Ganz, slayer of the Silver Dragon. Zane laughed.

Ganz looked up, and saw a pillar fall towards him. He had chosen this fate. As it fell to crush him, the beam enveloped the almost human less world, and they were all gone.
