World Of Revelations Part 1

Just as Robin expected, a part of the Emblian army had arrived at the site to start attempts of retrieving the lost gate after a few days.

Considering that losing this particular door would be perhaps the last nail in the coffin of Embla's dreams of conquering Askr in the short term, it was quite understandable.

She had to be thankful for having such a useful spy as Pegasus knights carrying telescopes. It was almost any strategist's dream.

Certainly, she understood very well now why among Embla's troops there was a rumor that Kiran was able to read minds or something similar... without having an idea that it was a spyglass of so much potency, telepathy was the best explanation the enemy could have... despite that, technically, the real answer was flying over their heads.

Although she already had the plans and information necessary to make dynamite, the materials for it were still only available in small quantities. Not to mention, after the fury stopped clouding his judgment, Kiran had asked her to only use dynamite in extreme emergencies.

It was an invention created originally with the intention for it to be useful for miners rather than soldiers after all.

Robin was also a bit happy to see a new kind of strategy that she applied to her current plan.

It was normal for an army to protect supplies by having them behind the entire army and with a few units protecting it… but now she had a "new" type of unit at her disposal.

Sure, not that it was exactly effective for frontal combat… but that didn't make it useless.

And all thanks to a new type of vehicle which they had even used to come to this place.


Raigh was experiencing what he could consider one of the strangest days of his life.

Given the importance of this mission, he was accompanied by Lugh and Lilina along with a few more mages for a total of fifteen.

The curious detail was not that a small brigade of magicians was created... rather, it was the fact that they were traveling riding bicycles. He'd already had experience using one of these after his mother insisted on spending quality time with him… but the thought of using them for a military tactic sounded a bit far-fetched.

Attached to the front part of his bicycle was a tome which was inside a kind of special "cage" that prevented the tome from falling, but at the same time allowed him to tear off a page from it very easily and extract its sealed magic power very quickly.

As fast as his magic casting speed allowed it, of course.

Maybe that was why he already had a page held in his right hand while he used his left hand to guide the bike.

Although his specialty was black magic, he still had enough basic knowledge of anima magic to cast simple fire spells.

It was obvious that Lilina would be the strongest pillar of the operation, but he had been appointed to lead it, so it was only natural that he was in front.

The terrain was somewhat flat since the mountains were further west, so there wasn't much to worry about the somewhat metal-reinforced rather than "rubber-reinforced" tires.

The bikes themselves were made mostly of wood instead of more metal like the modern versions.

Modern according to the standards of what was now known as: The Terran Metal World.

He also thought that installing mirrors on these things had also been a very coherent idea, a simple glance to them and he could know what was behind.

Lilina was partially nervous. This "artificial horse" or bicycle was certainly an interesting invention, but not only had she not had many days to get used to riding it... but this was also one of those few missions where she did not team up with Nino.

She felt… strange… after so many times teaming up with her it was just very weird not to be fighting together.

Nino, with her magic blades, killed everything and Lilina's fire disintegrated everything... they were almost a perfect team.

Perhaps, considering that she too had trained to fly a pegasus, together they could rule the sky next time.

Lugh was happy to have his own bike. After his mother had taught him to drive one, it was certainly nice to have one of your own.

He also had a page of fire magic ready to unleash the power from it.

He was worried that he could end up setting his bike on fire by accident though.

Noticing how both armies began to fight, Raigh ordered to advance carefully.


Karl and Robin had their arms crossed as the battle began. Mixing Karl's normal's army with the Order of Heroes gave very good results. Something to highlight was the presence of the hero King Marth.

Now that he was fighting with no black magic in his heart that could kill him at any second and he was not containing most of his strength on purpose, his status as a legendary hero was evident.

Marth blocked at least two swords using his "Fire Emblem" shield before using the full force of his arm to push those weapons away and quickly counterattack with a thrust, followed by a momentary rapid advance into enemy lines in which Marth used Falchion to eliminate enemies with a storm of slashes. Taking down at least three soldiers before somersaulting back into his position of the formation.

And all that without considering that by his side, supporting him in battle, you could see his Caeda.

Normally, most swords wouldn't have it that easy to cut through armor, but it was no secret that legendary weapons were made with materials just as legendary.

Robin rubbed her chin.

What exactly were those materials?

Normally that was a question she wouldn't even bother to think about. After all, other than Naga's fang, what had been used to forge a Falchion was unknown, to the point that there was no other blacksmith in the world who replicate them.

Thanks to time travel, there were only three versions of said weapon.

Although she had an idea who might know the answer...

But paying attention to the hero-king again, he didn't even flinch when a spear seemed like it was about to touch reach him as he could easily dodge it with a quick jump.

That happened as long as the soldiers he was leading didn't try to protect him in the first place... or Caeda with her own shield.

The scary detail was the fact that... Marth was not fighting completely seriously. He could probably sweep the floor with Chrom and yet not need to display his best.

Certainly, she never expected to meet legendary heroes, much less one that Tiki had met...

That also made Robin wonder why Tiki hadn't tried to talk to Marth... although Robin supposed that was an issue she would have to worry about later, for the moment the most important thing regarding the princess of the Manaketes was the fact that she was destroying enemies with tail attacks and fireballs.

If only Nowi or Corrin were here, it would be even more impressive.

The order's first Caeda was leading Shanna, Sumia, Cordelia, Florina, and the newest member of the order's Pegasus squad, Nino. They seemed to have more or less everything in control regarding the aerial part of the battle.

Robin remembered laughing a little when Cordelia met the first Caeda, it was almost as if her friend was behaving like a little girl.

Sumia also seemed interested in taking lessons from the legendary Pegasus knight of Altea.

Karl rubbed his chin. "Everything seems to be going well... almost too well ..." Robin had to give this strategist points for not wanting to lower his guard even though victory seemed close.

"One would expect the enemy side to have several heroes... after all, losing this portal would mean that we will soon have a free pass to counterattack without much trouble." Karl closed his eyes.

Robin had to admit that he had a point... was it possible that Embla was afraid that, by mobilizing most of his enslaved heroes, Askr's grandmaster would take advantage of that to gain a little more ground and cross the mountains?

"We should send another pegasus with the telescope to examine the area again..." She commented, to which the strategist simply nodded as he made a confirmation sound.


Raigh ordered the bikers to speed up and make sure everybody was not riding side by side.

In one swift movement and maneuvering to begin a long U-turn. Raigh, Lugh, Lilina, and the rest of the wizards hurled bursts of arcfire magic at the soldiers and, by extension, the main supply wagons.

All the magicians quickly tore a new page from the tomes to unleash another blast of fire as they completed the turn. Raigh observed a group of magicians preparing to attack them, to which he quickly ordered to disperse and retreat.

The cycling mages maneuvered through certain attacks of wind or fire and quickly counterattacked to distract them before continuing escaping.

Lilina and a few magicians ran into a group of infantry. They simply cast more fire magic and with it almost wiped them out of existence. They would have escaped in the middle of all the gap in the formation they had caused if that hadn't endangered the bikes themselves from catching fire, so they all simply maneuvered around and away from the battlefield.

Lugh found a very similar situation, but he had it easier since he brought his wind tome. He just forced everybody out of his way.

Raigh, who had continued to advance almost straight, cast a new arcfire spell. Two magicians managed to dodge the attack by throwing themselves onto the ground, but Raigh quickly began to slow down his pedaling speed and ended up stopping the bike by applying all his force on the front wheel and lifting the rear one.

Once the rear wheel finished landing now in the opposite direction, Raigh released one last arcfire and finished taking out the two remaining mages.

"¡A huevo! (Hell yeah!) "He raised a victory sign with his right fist as he saw the enemy supplies burning until they got reduced to ashes… before looking in his side-view mirror and noticed some cavalry units moving in his direction.

"Shit!" he gritted his teeth in panic. After that, he started pedaling faster than normal as his life depended on it.

After meeting with Lugh after having to maneuver to dodge several knights, both brothers continued their escape, firing hell at their pursuers before finally being able to escape as well.

It was not exactly as planned but the mission could be considered a success.


The Pegasus knight who had been sent to investigate the area had found no signs of a possible Emblian trap. Karl seemed more relaxed after that ... and even more so when the Pegasus knight confirmed that apparently, the plan to use a hit and run strategy with mages had worked.

Robin quickly noticed a greater disorder in the Emblian troops after the general likely lost control of the battle due to a state of panic because of what had happened with the supplies.

She then decided to join the battle as she unsheathed her Levin's sword and raised it skyward, causing even more chaos as her thunder power struck more and more soldiers.

The battle did not last much longer before Embla's army surrendered.


Karl assured to Robin that he would take care of the prisoners of Embla, due to this, it was only a matter of time for the daylight to become visible on the other side of the portal for the Order of Heroes to begin crossing once a scout confirmed that the other side was safe.

Robin was quite surprised by what she saw. Although she had already been warned about it... it did not make the experience any less terrifying ...

She stood on the edge of… that small plateau… and while looking down... she could only see darkness… she could also see dark clouds in the sky, although they seemed to be calmed this time.

This was the "bottomless" canyon...

She heard footsteps approaching and turned to find Chrom. "What are you?... oh..." Chrom's words stopped coming out of his mouth as he noticed how disturbing the scene was. "This... reminds me a bit of Wyvern Valley... but scarier."

"Much more ..." Robin commented, noting that the only way to cross between the different plateaus were the different bridges that connected them.

In the distance, there were mountains in all directions. The only paths to get out from here would be aerial ones or just following the bridges as it seemed.

"According to what little information we have from the explorers and that hero named Hinata, this place is the natural border between Hoshido and Nohr." Robin commented, looking at the drawn map.

"Why open a portal in a place like this?" Chrom crossed his arms.

"I've been told that this is an area that the Askarians have discovered has a high concentration of minerals, especially steel for weapons." As Robin observed that the space of the plateau would not be enough for the entire army, she ordered to separate it somewhat between them.

"The question would be... which nation should we try to liberate first?" Chrom questioned.


Raigh certainly felt a bit more relaxed now that Bernadetta had stayed at the castle.

He had simply had to leave instructions to the maids to be careful of his… her special needs regarding her anxiety. The same had happened to Florina, who was still in the process of rehabilitation. That woman still had a somewhat delicate condition.

He was now busy helping Miriel with her experiments.

Unquestionably, it was better than just doing nothing.

There were surely quite a few projects that interested him.

At the moment, they were both searching through the little grass in the canyon for any seeds and plant samples that could be obtained.

"Do you think they are enough?" Raigh asked, holding a bag that contained three types of seeds... or at least they appeared to be three different types due to the colors.

Miriel was placing some plants in glass boxes which she had created with some of the leftovers from what she used to create the Newtonian telescope and some more sand that had been bought.

She had at least two examples of each, but several plants could still be seen on the ground. "That is possible to be considered sufficient. Removing all of them from their natural habitat can cause unnecessary imbalance. "

"You mean an imbalance of the... the... the what?" Raigh scratched at his hair as he made sure to close the bag tightly to make it as airtight as possible. "The local food chain." Miriel replied, her expression and voice still showing that stoic personality.

"Ah, right, that thing." Raigh still didn't know much about all the subjects that his mentor and Miriel seemed so interested in replicating, but sooner or later he needed to catch up with them.

Not knowing much about certain experiments made him wonder... what was so special about that backpack that Miriel carried on her back. "Why are you using that thing for if you don't carry it for plants or tools?" Raigh commented as they carried the collection to the sample wagon Kiran had purchased.

"It's a prototype for testing. The invention is expected to prove useful in saving the lives of Pegasus knights, among other possible applications." She paused for a moment to place the samples inside the cart to remove that prototype from her back… and give it to Raigh.

"I have a suspicion that Kiran would want you to be the first one to experiment with it." Raigh scratched at his hair before receiving and putting it on.

"... And how could this backpack help?..."

Miriel finally showed a smile. "You see, it's pretty simple."


Unquestionably, voyaging through the sea was more… complicated than she had first imagined.

Especially given the fact that in order to save water to survive… almost everyone drank wine. Although the soldiers weren't completely drunk, it was still uncomfortable for the princess.

Another was the simple fact that… well, eating almost the same thing every day was not something she remembered doing back at the castle. While Fenri, sitting by her side, continued to enjoy the cookies he received almost every day, Fjorm was rather sighing as it had been too many times that rice or bread entered her mouth as the meat had ceased to be edible two weeks ago...

It was a disgrace not to have some way to preserve food much longer... Sure, as a royal, every now and then she would get some fresh fruit… but there weren't that many either.

That was the downside of living in a country like Nilf. Cultivation places were not that abundant.

At least she had a table for herself and Fenri. She was in no mood to smell the aroma of the wine.

"Vous voudriez faire quelque chose? (Would you like to do a particular thing?) " She asked the boy.

Besides taking care of him, she had no more obligations on this ship… and doing nothing for long periods of time became quite boring.

"Je souhaite que nous allions à ta chambre pour jouer échecs (I wish we go to your room to play chess)"

Of course, she always knew that the child would ask to play something else, but she was certainly willing to continue playing to do anything.

It was certainly cute to see the little Fenri trying to play this game.

She was not an expert player, in that case, it would be better to look for Hríd, but she did not have much trouble easily countering the plays that this boy made.

After a considerable time, in which she deliberately allowed him to defeat her several times to cheer him up, she led him to a bed where he could rest.

Unquestionably, having to take care of a child hadn't been such a bad experience… and it served as practice in case she one day became a mother.

Seeing her possibilities on what to do to pass the time, Fjorm decided to go out on deck to train a bit more with the spear.

Fortunately, the sea was calm at the time.

The speed of her lunges and her fighting style wasn't exactly something that would go on to be admired and studied throughout history, but that wasn't important. The important thing was to be ready to defend her homeland from Muspell when she had completed this mission.

What made everything change... was when a Pegasus knight approached to confirm the coast of Askarian territory was visible on the horizon.


When Miriel and Raigh returned to the tent that served as a "movable laboratory" they were both surprised to find that Robin was waiting for them there.

"Any luck your investigation?" the strategist's question was rather rhetorical as she was looking at the bags and plant samples they had. "The tenacity of life to obtain the ability to survive even in the most inhospitable places for beings like us is admirable." Miriel commented, placing the plants on a table where the sunlight they would receive would be decent.

On the other hand, Raigh made sure to keep the seeds in a box that kept them out of sunlight. Hopefully, the humidity would be kept high enough so that they wouldn't become useless, but at the same time, it would prevent them from trying to germinate.

"I have learned that, apparently, on the continent located in the southernmost point that exists in the Terran world, everything is an icy desert where the temperature is so low that it is simply impossible for a human to survive without the correct clothes and equipment and even there they have found life forms." Raigh commented, following the sentence of Miriel.

The poorly drawn map of the Terran Metal world was almost always at hand in the lab. Raigh simply had to open it up and show it to the Ylisse's strategist.

Robin surely had a hard time believing that this… creation that looked like it was made by a 7-year-old boy was supposed to be the only graphic representation of what in theory was another totally different world… not to mention that this map represented all the lands in that world.

It wasn't even scaled correctly as far as she could tell.

But focusing her vision on that continent that was supposed to be the coldest land of them all... it was hard for her to imagine living beings there.

Regna Ferox had animal life, of course, but the temperature in this place had to be comparable to a winter hell during the entire year according to Raigh.

Robin just hoped she didn't have to visit some frozen place anytime soon. Her coat was quite useful for those kinds of climates, but that didn't mean that she appreciated the cold very much.

"So you just came to see us working?" Raigh asked, still placing seeds inside the boxes.

He felt more relaxed since the quintessence was still hidden back in Askr's castle... or well... most of it.

One part was already inserted into his body.

"Actually, I wanted to see how the progress of the... red project was going."

"Ah, yeah." Raigh scratched the back of his head remembering that.

It didn't take long for Miriel to put the ingredients on an isolated table. "The process of creating a mixture of the most basic ingredients to form the authentic ones that will be used for the explosive... has not started yet." Miriel adjusted his glasses.

Raigh rubbed his forehead. "Part of the problem is that, since the notes left by Kiran insist a lot that the nitroglycerin is not gonna be secure for working with it until it is inserted into a container with... stone with rests of some lake bacteria?" he raised his eyebrow in confusion. "Anyway, as I was saying... until it is protected within that, nitroglycerin is highly unstable. Even a simple rapid movement can make it react. And considering that Kiran told me that there were people who had disfigured their faces in their attempts doing the first experiments to try to stabilize it... we have not been very confident..."

Truth be told, Raigh had already seen its potential.

He clenched his teeth and narrowed his eyes as he remembered Kiran telling some criminals, between them rapists, that he would give them their freedom if they managed to pass all the nitroglycerin from one bottle to another one by using a special syringe... without telling them what that strange chemical compound was...

Many of them had their faces too close when they were attempting it... These bastards certainly deserved it, but it didn't take much for Raigh's imagination to create the same scene but with him as the protagonist inside his mind...

It had been a very clear example of a warning to Raigh about how dangerous it could be.

Robin knew that if something succeeded in disturbing a black mage... then it was not something to be taken without constant fear. "I understand…"


I suppose this chapter brought you memories from that time when Kiran fought Roy while riding a bike lol.

Again, it's not like bikes were used during direct big combats but they were very useful for scouts, people who delivered messages, and for occasional tiny fights. You can carry more supplies with each individual bike, transport some armament and more stuff. Of course, they were only useful back then during times of World War 1, but I can see them being useful for Askr, especially with the surprise factor and, just like you saw, I can see mages and healers using them to move faster through the battlefield or just traveling without having to get a horse which can be much more expensive. Of course, these are primitive prototypes. Once somebody asked where do they get rubber for Kiran's bike... answer: they don't use rubber for it.

This chapter introduces many examples of experiments to move a little away from medicaments (since the story focused on them a lot as somebody told me). Some of you may guess that the whole seed recollection thing is for the greenhouses... but actually, it has another purpose. To give you a hint: think about the fact this chapter has mentioned cold places. And regarding the backpack... I guess it is very evident what it is.

Fjorm has finally reached Askr, so prepare for seeing her in the next chapter too. I made some more investigation regarding traveling through the sea back then during medieval ages... and it does not sound pretty cute lol... on the good side, wine was always something available lol.

Our planet finally has a proper name from the perspective of Askr. Since Kiran usually described almost everything with the word metal (even the music genre lol) and renamed our species as Terrans then the name, instead of World Of Steel, is the Terran Metal World. (I like Starcraft 2 lol)

I gotta thank a lot to Arashi Tenebris for helping me to improve a lot the quality of the story, especially the first chapters.

For example, the first chapters only told us the heroes got freed from the curse by defeating them... but why? now there's an explanation: simply, since the curse travels through the blood if you make them bleed the dark magic ends up disappearing.

Another change is a little more content regarding that fight Corrin and Fae had.

There's a little more foreshadowing on the fact Kiran is falling in love with Nino.

I tried to improve the dialogues and descriptions.

And more stuff like that.

I have a question for you: I already have a plan regarding the fights against Nohr and Hoshido but... which nation do you wanna see first?

By the way, I have a new PC... and it's FUCKING GAMER PC! *insanely happy noises*

Besides finally being fucking able to play more recent games, like Megaman 11, I also played some games that although they were not that old... my old PC could not handle them correctly because it fucking sucked: like Megaman Zero/ZX Collection (I don't get why it had problems... those are GBA and DS games) with the mod that replaces the normal soundtracks... for their remastered versions like Telos, Mythos, Idea, etc... and playing with my PS4 controller... IT WAS FREAKING MAGICAL! This also allows me to play FE Awakening again with the Citra Emulator and all that stuff... although since this one actually can run Dolphin... then I'm finally going to play Ike's games! but don't worry, a faster PC also means I'm more motivated to write lol

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter. See you next time!
