Notes from the Writer: This is an anthology of short stories pertaining to the Scouring. I will warn you ahead of time that I depend mostly on my own originality for both characters and stories to compose it. Nonetheless, if you are interested, I thank you for sticking with me. In addition, if there are any spoilers from FE6, I will be sure to alert you. Further notes are in my profile


i. The Bard's Invitation

Welcome, young children, I am a poor Bard,

hither dear ones, are you mindful at all

of the tales of love, or of songs of war?

Of stories of might, or of Dragon's high fall?

Surely of great Hartmut and valorous Roland,

or of noble Elimine and graceful Hanon?

Perhaps of swift Durban and faithful Barigan?

What of clever Athos or of furtive Brammimond?

Are there others you know, the children of war?

There are those besides the Generals alone

Fallen Mith who fought and vanished from lore,

Nay, not even lovely Lisandre was known.

And what of the enemy, of Dragons old?

What of the beasts who knew nothing of pain?

From the deep heart of Bavel come stories untold

of an abhorrent foe and his darkest campaign

Their voices are few in the saga of Elibe

and their voices are mine, for tonight I shall sing

A legacy of strength that I shall never bereave

the journey starts tonight, and I will now begin

Come children and sit as my song is unfolded

The legends are moving, the muses are playing

of comedy, tragedy, come and behold it

Your loyal Bard plays and the night is awaiting
