Heavy Sword And Heroes' Desires

Kiran was aware since the very moment he showed his drawing to the blacksmith that he would have to train twice as much as he already used to train.

The man had warned him. The Master Sword due to its design, principally the beefy hilt, was heavier than his old silver sword. When he held it for the first time it was obvious that the speed of his slashes had decreased and raising it was difficult. But Kiran didn't care. He considered it a challenge and was determined to practice until the Master Sword felt as light as a feather. This reminded him about animes like Inyusha or Dragon Ball Z. In both animes, a character got a heavy sword and when they finally mastered it, they became stronger.

Of course, those swords were so heavy that their wielders needed to use both hands to actually be able to raise them in the first place. In his case, the problem only was present when he held the Master Sword with a single hand. It still would be difficult to master it but not too much. The first hand he chose to practice with was his left one, obviously.

And once it was useful regardless of the hand he needed to use... he would accomplish his dream... to have two Master Swords! The first one would be the one he already had with that blue design... and the second one with the retro style from a Link To The Past. A golden hilt and red handle.

At the very moment he returned from the smithy he started his practice and he didn't take even a single rest until the evening. The next day he woke up earlier than anybody else in the castle as usual and immediately he left his room to continue.

He supposed Anna would be mad at him, especially considering he didn't have breakfast this time... he had no idea of what she actually was going to do.

He thrust and slashed over and over and over. At the very moment, he did another thrust two hands grabbed him from behind and he felt a face resting on his back.

He struggled. Moving his face to see who dared to bother him... it was Anna.

Narrowing and growling he asked, "What's gotten into you now?"

Anna's voice tone sounded very dreamy "You really are a miracle from the sky!" Kiran growled again and grimaced as he felt some lips on his cheek.

"Care to explain something?!" he demanded.

It was like Anna wanted to make sure her voice sounded the cutest way as it was possible. "Your ideas are making me the happiest woman on Earth... or as you would say, of the multiverse!... I love you Kiran!" Then she kissed him like that more times. Kiran couldn't say he liked it.

"I'm flattered," responded him sarcastically and yelling. Accidentally dropping his sword.

Kiran didn't get away from her claws until Kagero decided she should help him.


Roy got comfortable in the Askarian Castle very quickly. He was grateful they had taken care of his horse when he lost it the first time he fought the order of heroes... especially because it used to belong to Eliwood. He started to miss his own Lilina. But she had basically advised he shouldn't return until he had got over his current depression, which he only could accomplish by making justice for his father... maybe that was partially the reason to explain how she had finally come to accept Hector's death.

Training with Ephraim had proved he still couldn't say he was on the top of power. There were stronger heroes that could cause him a headache at fighting... more when he discovered a girl called Lucina had beaten Ephraim up very easily.

He rode his horse around the town for a while to distract himself. Interesting to him was the fact due to magic he could understand these people and how they understood him. He noticed a few persons rode one of those things Kiran described as a cycle. Apparently, they were becoming very popular.

When he felt better he returned quickly. He noticed the other Lilina... flying a pegasus? Then he saw Florina cheering her daughter... this depressed him again... he wouldn't experience that anymore... or perhaps... was it possible that Kiran could summon his both parents?!

He would have to ask.


Shanna still couldn't believe that in this world or rather a future period she and her sisters were considered as great heroes along with many other historical figures. When Sharena explained to her what she knew. The blue-haired pegasus knight discovered the existence of other sets of three pegasus knight sisters. She wasn't sure if this made her feel her connection with her sisters was less or more special.

She wished she could meet one of those other girls. Discovering their similarities and differences. One of them would understand her thoughts about not being eager to maturate soon? of all the youngest sisters... who was the strongest one?

She imagined a competition of all the sisters to determine who had the faster mount. And just when that idea crossed her mind, a second and funnier one appeared.

What if all of them formed a squad? Probably even the archers would doubt too much to even consider the possibility of facing them.

It was just a fantasy of course... that was almost impossible to happen... wasn't it?


Being the only other friendly dragon Corrin had met, Fae was very special for her. She was like a little sister even if Fae was a lot older than her. In part due to her childish personality. She was so cute and innocent that Corrin couldn't resist to hug her or play with her every time Fae asked for it.

Because her wings barely worked to slow her speed at falling. The only thing they could do that implied moving fast was running transformed.

A warming feeling grew up in the hybrid's heart as she patted the girl dragon who now slept on her legs. During her whole life, her siblings looked after her too much. Somehow all this made her wonder how it would have been like if she was the one that needed to look after her siblings, or something similar to that... Fae almost answered that.

Corrin reminded that Alfonse had explained to her some other heroes were manaketes as well. Most of them little girls just like Fae... with the exception of her male self.

The other Corrin shared the same feelings and thoughts about life? was his life even similar to hers? Did he align with Hoshido?

Now another question she didn't have the answer was eating her mind... but now she knew she could discover the answer in the future.


Once Kiran was alone in his room again, writing more on his special book meant to contain all his knowledge. Kiran's mind reminded him that he still wasn't sure if the world he experimented for three months was actually real.

The best evidence he got against that idea was the "black hole" that Raigh had created. Even though it looked a lot like a Black Hole. A real one would have killed him regardless if it was as big as a coin or it had the mass of a coin.

An answer was it a different kind of hole because it was a magical product... but he still couldn't feel comfortable with that answer. Magic...

Even mentioning it back home was enough to be ridiculed. Magic wasn't supposed to be real! and if what he saw wasn't magic but an unknown phenomenon... HOW DID IT WORK?! There must be an explanation but... WHICH ONE?!

The translator still was a mystery too... how it translated his own words so everybody could understand him? he wasn't speaking in his original tongues anymore and what he heard was an illusion?

And perhaps the most important question of them all... why Breidablik would summon a person from a completely different universe rather than hero from its own?

The book that time ago was owned by who he guessed was Líf, the first king of Askr, still hadn't answered those questions... would he ever be able to know the answer?

And if everything was fake... how he would return home? There were crystals like in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance that he had to crush in order to destroy this reality and that way to turn everything back to normal? and if they existed... how to find them?

And how to hide that information to the others so they wouldn't try to stop him in his attempts to erase them from existence?


Yeah, the name of the chapter is a double-meaning joke.

Like happens to many other fantasy stories that exaggerate the characteristics of their swords. The Master Sword also suffers some "flaws". Being the most important one the extra weight it would have in the real world. It's actually a usable sword but if you compare its standard form since Ocarina Of Time to its design from A Link To The Past, the latter one is more practical. But that does not stop you if you're very strong. A video on youtube of Skallagrim explains this more detailedly.

Try as much as you want Kiran. If I don't want you to break the fourth wall, you'll never be able to discover you're just a character.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance has a similar story to Fire Emblem Heroes with all that of sending people from our world to another. But with the exception, the world is demonstrated to be partially a dream. This causes a grey moral conflict that I liked so much. You should play it.

Since Alfonse and Sharena's mom is now known as Henriette this obligates me to modify previous chapters to make this happen in this version too... let's pretend Lydia never existed in the first place once I fixed that... please?

Time to answer reviews:

Half-BeastDragonSoul2013:

I really want Lugh. My Nino deserves to meet her both sons. And well, Kiran wants to be a double swordsman. He still has that silver sword.

Is there a grammar error there or something else?
