A Summoner's Journey
Paralogue 7: Echoes of Mystery
Team for this chapter: Lucina, Camus, Minerva and Kagero
After the chaos that was the Tempest, hearing that Embla has invaded the World of Mystery yet again was a relief to hear. After Anna notified me of the invasion, I rounded up Masked Marth, Camus, Minerva and Kagero to be my team to liberate the World of Mystery. Though strangely, Masked Marth's mask was off and his hair was much longer, reaching down to his back. He looked strikingly identical to Lucina.
"Did I miss something yesterday? Because I remember picking up Masked Marth after the battle in the Tempest" I said and Camus winced while "Marth" giggled.
"Because you went to sleep early, you missed Marth's huge revelation at the dinner table" Camus explained "He was actually Lucina the whole time. Chrom's daughter"
"Oh… well, that was unexpected. Why did you fake your identity and call yourself Marth anyways?" I asked Lucina.
"It's a long story. Too long for me to tell right now" Lucina pointed to the World of Mystery portal "We have an invasion to take care of first. Maybe after this is finished, me and you can go to the garden and I can explain?"
"Sounds good. Let's make this one quick then" I nodded and we leaped into the swirling portal, crossing the stream of time and space. The portal deposited us in the empty throne room of Altea Castle, where two cavaliers, a fire mage and an archer were awaiting us. The fire mage murmured to the lance cavalier next to her and approached us, hands up as if she was surrendering. Camus instinctively moved in front of me with his horse just in case the mage pulled a fast one and stabbed me with a knife.
"Greetings. My name is Katarina" The mage introduced herself in a quiet, but steady voice. She wasn't bad looking either. I found myself quite entranced by her dainty, elegant figure. Then I remembered Catria and suddenly felt guilty "I aspire to be a tactician, so I'm training with the Altean knights. However, Princess Veronica holds us bound by contract, so we have no choice but to fight"
"We've heard that before. So we simply have to defeat you and you'll be freed of your contract?" I asked and Katarina nodded.
"Given you show enough strength, then yes. We'll be freed" The mage held out her hand, summoning a tome with a golden wing branded on the cover "I'd hate to impose you like this, but we have no choice. Please, just make it quick and painless"
"We'll try to" I nodded with a smile and Katarina smiled back before swiping her hand forward, warping herself back to her allies. The sword cavalier recklessly rushed in first, brandishing his Brave Sword.
"I'm a legend in the making!" Luke hollered as he clashed sword to lance with Camus, forcing the Grustian knight on the defensive with his Brave Sword. A fierce red aura burst under Luke's feet, letting him strike Camus with much more force than expected.
"Lucina, assist Camus in taking down the sword cavalier" I instructed and Lucina rushed in to assist while Katarina called out a command of her own.
"Luke! Don't be reckless! Pull back!" The tactician yelled, but Luke didn't listen, continuing to engage with Camus while ignoring Lucina, who was coming in to stab the cavalier in the back "Luke!"
"I'll handle this Katarina" The lance cavalier galloped forward towards Lucina, catching her by surprise with a lance I never saw before. He brought down his lance in a downward thrust and Lucina jumped back to dodge, but the lance erupted in a fiery explosion soon after, preventing her from counter striking Roderick. Kagero landed a swift dagger throw to Luke's head, freeing up Camus to help Lucina fight Roderick. The Grustian paladin engaged with the Altean cavalier, pushing him back easily with expert skill using his Gradivus. For some reason, Roderick never attempted to counterattack with his lance, despite Camus's attack patterns not being reckless and furious like Luke's.
"Minerva, fly behind the lance cavalier while he's distracted by Camus and land the killing blow. Watch out for Katarina if she comes close" I commanded "Kagero, keep an eye out for Katarina and be prepared to take her down"
Kagero retreated into the shadows while Minerva took flight in the high throne room. Camus missed an attack with his lance and left himself open to attack. Roderick darted to the side with his horse and lunged with his burning red lance, preparing to stab Camus in the side. Luckily, Lucina leapt and ran her Falchion through Roderick's back, ending the cavalier for good. Camus threw his Gradivus straight through the enemy archer's heart, forcing Katarina to step up to fight.
"If only my magic was stronger. I could of Warped and attack at the same time…!" Katarina murmured as she opened her Rauorowl tome, creating a spark of flaming birds in her palm. She thrust her hand out and sent out a storm of spiritual birds towards Camus and Lucina, who were rapidly approaching. The birds slowed their process, especially Lucina's, but Camus leveled his spear and threw it towards the tactician, Gradivus glowing gold as it sailed through the air. Katarina stepped back to dodge and prepared to cast again, but Kagero dashed from under the shadows of a pillar and cut Katarina's throat with her Poison Dagger. The fire mage collapsed to the ground instantly before dissolving into luminous feathers.
"I can't thank you enough for freeing us from that contract. I'm so glad" Katarina smiled warmly when she reappeared in a flash of magic "If you'd like, I could lead you to some of my other allies who are trapped by the same contract. I'm sure they would love to be freed"
"Absolutely. Lead the way Katarina" I nodded and the tactician took the lead while Lucina leaned in to whisper in my ear.
"Lucian, as bad as the truth is, we can't trust someone like her so easily. What if she lures us into a trap?" Lucina whispered and Camus nodded in agreement beside her. Kagero and Minerva were both giving me skeptical looks as well while Katarina silently led us out of Altea castle.
"We can trust her. She's simply a tactician training with the Altean knights and is leading us to help free her other allies. Nothing shady about it" I whispered back.
"Still, the feeling of unease clings to me. I can sense a bloody and shady background with Katarina" Camus murmured under his breath "Don't be so quick to trust her, Lord Lucian. Trust towards a stranger leads to a quick death"
"Lucian won't change his decision. I can tell that much" Minerva said quietly and I blushed, embarrassed "So the best course of action is to be prepared to guard Lucian, if Katarina were to lead us into an ambush"
"I suppose that's what we'll have to do. If only you weren't so stubborn and infatuated with Katarina…" Kagero shook her head in disappointment and I nearly would of yelped out in protest if Lucina didn't cover my mouth in time.
"Is something the matter?" Katarina asked, genuine curiosity marking her face. I shook my head and she nodded "Okay. Just a little bit farther and we should make it to an ally camp"
"Gah, was Altea formerly in Regna Ferox or something? Because it's so cold here…!" Lucina shivered as snow blanketed the land around us, a clear indication that we are up north. Minerva's wyvern screeched in agreement.
Katarina shook her head "Altea is way southwest of us. I have no idea why it's snowing like this. Maybe something to do with yours and Embla's armies changing the climate?"
"I remember when we first went to the World of Blazing, we transitioned from the Dread Isle to the region of Santaruz in an instant, as if we stepped through a mirage" I recalled "Maybe we're doing the same thing here. After all, Altea Castle disappeared behind us"
"Likely so. Today's a day for odd occurrences, I suppose" Katarina opened her palm and summoned a ball of fire to melt the snow and warm us up "Oh! Something's up ahead"
We found ourselves in a vacated snow village, with a bridge crossing over a frozen river and three defense tiles in the center.
"You don't mind if we rest here for a little, do you? I'm sure all of you are tired" Katarina threw her fireball at the old bonfire in the village square, igniting a warm blaze "There are log benches around the fire, so come and rest"
"Wait Katarina. Something doesn't feel right" Minerva interrupted and her wyvern nodded, sniffing around the village "The village looked empty, but I heard multiple footsteps and someone crunching on a twig around here"
"Really? I didn't hear anything" Katarina stared at Minerva, confused "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am. I'm absolutely sure-" An arrow barely missed me and Minerva grabbed me by my hood, hoisting me onto her dragon while flying high in the sky "Ambush!"
"A fighter, myrmidon, thunder mage and archer are coming in! Camus, engage the swordswoman and archer. Lucina, deal with the masked fighter and Kagero, take down the mage!" I commanded, my voice getting shrill in the winter wind "Katarina, help out Lucina!"
"You can't trust that woman! She led us into a trap!" Minerva hissed as she shot down from the sky and dive bombed the archer with her Hauteclere, saving Camus the trouble "She's our enemy. We need to kill her"
"Minerva, she's helping Lucina fight the axe fighter" I said as Minerva turned her dragon 180 degrees to smack the myrmidon in the face with its tail "It's fine! She wasn't aware of the trap either!"
"That trust is going to get you killed later. Believe me!" Minerva took to the skies again and hovered over Katarina and Lucina, who were fighting the masked axe fighter.
"Uwee hee hee! What are yous doing fighting meses Reese? That wasn't what youses were supposed to doses!" The axe fighter swung his unidentified axe down onto Lucina, who darted back and slashed his chest.
Katarina said nothing and simply glowed with light blue energy while opening her Rauorowl tome. She thrust out her hand towards the axe fighter "Sorry to do this… Glacies!"
A swarm of fiery birds along with a bullet storm of sharp icicles spewed from Katarina's glowing tome and peppered the axe fighter endlessly until he was lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood. As he dissolved into feathers and I dismounted Minerva's wyvern, Kagero reappeared beside me, reporting that the thunder mage has been slain. A bloodstained wrapping of gauze was wrapped over her waist, implying she took a hit while fighting the mage.
"I didn't think any ambush like this would be here in this village" Katarina murmured as she closed her tome "I'm so sorry Lord Lucian. You must think me as a traitor for luring you into this trap"
"Nonsense. You fought alongside us in this battle and did well for yourself. I wouldn't mind having you in our army personally" I replied easily "If you don't mind, that is. You're a friend to us now, so I just wanted to ask"
"I'd be happy to. It's hard to tell what's going on in this world after Embla's invasion, but…" Katarina shook her head "Let's talk about this after you're done here. Let's try to find a way down this mountain first"
We traveled through the snowdrift with Katarina lighting the way with her fireball. Eventually, the path slowly winded downwards and the snow vanished, replacing itself with short hills surrounding a clearing.
"Oh, it happened again. Behind us is Altea Castle" Katarina noted "Now would be a good time to stop"
"Why? I don't see anyone here" I said as Katarina walked forward, opening her tome "Katarina?"
"I'm sorry Lucian. If you came any further, you'll be caught in a trap set by us" The tactician apologized, turning to face me with a quiet fire raging in her eyes "I know you meant it when you said you wanted me in your army. I know you think of me as your friend. So I'll spill it now. My real name is Reese and I was sent to kill you. All of you"
"W-what? You… you were an assassin the whole time Katarina?" I asked shocked "Why didn't you just stab me in the back while we were on the road?"
"You had an elite guard of heroes and the plan was to win your trust so in the next battle, I could take you out with this" Katarina pulled out a small knife locked in a sheath from inside her sleeve "But… after talking with you, I just… just can't do it. So now, we have to fight head on. Legion? Clarisse? Sorry for the trouble"
""Trouble" she says. Making friends with the enemy!" A blond archer spat in disgust as she revealed herself from behind a tree "Could you be any more worthless?"
"Uwee hee hee! What a liars you are! You saids "Dos what you likes!" That's what she didses!" Legion reminded Clarisse and the archer reared her hand back to slap Legion before reining it back.
"Shut up. It's time to clean this mess" Clarisse glared at Katarina "You better not mess this up. Same goes for that swordswoman"
"I promise I won't this time Clarisse. Okay, I'll issue commands from the backlines while you three take the front" Katarina began "Clarisse, stay behind the hills and trees and snipe them one by one. Take down the wyvern rider first. Legion, hold back and wait for them to approach and Athena, sneak behind the mountains to get the jump on Lucian from behind!"
Meanwhile, I was issuing my own orders.
"Minerva, stay to the air and alert us of any sneak attacks. Watch out for the archer as she might be hiding in the terrain to catch us off guard" I said and Minerva shot into the sky "Lucina and Camus, take the front and defeat Katarina as fast as possible. Kagero, stay in the shadows and launch attacks whenever you can. Go!"
My heroes moved in action just as Katarina's troops moved. Clarisse's ebony black arrow sailed towards Camus and he raised his silver tower shield to deflect the arrow. However, on contact, the arrow exploded into a veil of smoke like the Smoke Dagger, blinding Lucina and Camus.
"Move in while they are blinded Legion!" Katarina ordered and the masked axe fighter rushed into the smoke while laughing maniacally.
"Camus and Lucina, pull back now!" I called and my two front line units retreated with a insane axe murderer on their heels. Minerva landed beside me to report that the myrmidon from the last battle was approaching from the mountains and Kagero was retreating back.
"Camus, ride towards my left to deal with the swordswoman. Lucina, sneak by the right hills to flank the enemy team on the back" I called as Minerva headbutted Legion with her dragon and then finished him off with an axe strike to the face, cleaving his face and mask in two. Meanwhile, Camus galloped towards Athena, his Gradivus clashing with the swordswoman's Wo Dao.
"Prepare for worst!" Athena's thick, foreign accent rang through the air as she slammed her blade down onto Camus, the visage of Moonbow blazing in the air. Thanks to her Wo Dao, the attack did a number on Camus, but he countered with a devastating Bonfire strike, taking down Athena for good.
"If there is one thing I hate about these arrows, it's that I can never shoot after they hit something. Stupid smoke…" Clarisse grumbled as she nocked another arrow while the smoke cleared, letting it fly towards Minerva. The wyvern rider flew up to dodge and the arrow collided with Altea's wall behind us, thankfully putting the smoke plume far from the battle.
"While she's still nocking an arrow, charge in to finish her off Minerva. Lucina should of reached Katarina by now!" I commanded and Minerva rushed towards Clarisse, her dragon snapping the trees Clarisse was hiding behind. If there was one weakness archers had, it's that they were vulnerable after firing their arrow. Clarisse rolled away from the snapped trees while reaching for an arrow in her quiver, but Minerva swung her Hauteclere in a wide arc and left Clarisse staggering with a giant gash on her waist. Minerva's dragon slammed its chin into the archer and she disintegrated into feathers. Meanwhile, Lucina charged at Katarina from the side and the tactician expelled a short plume of fire from her hand to ward her off. She took that opportunity to back up, but Camus rode behind her and lanced Katarina through with Gradivus, ending the battle finally.
"Thank you for using your strength to free us from the contract. Lucian... I really am sorry" Katarina apologized "Truly. I know you can't forgive me, but... hearing you call me a friend... It really did make me happy. Farewell and… may we meet again"
Katarina walked off silently, disappearing into the shade of the trees nearby. I sighed and slumped in discontent while I summoned a portal back to Askr with the Breidablik. Lucina placed her hand on my shoulder as I told the others to go ahead into the portal.
"Are you alright Lucian?" Lucina asked gently.
"In the end, all of you were right. Katarina was nothing but a dirty traitor" I muttered, feeling my grip on the Breidablik loosen "It was just like all you said"
"Lucian, don't be blind to the truth. Katarina betrayed out trust yes, but she had a change of heart because of you. She stopped us before the trap was sprung and told us in our face about it, forcing her to fight us head on. Fights assassins rarely win" Lucina reminded me "If you don't trust people, they can't betray you. But you won't be able to make meaningful connections that let you keep your back open for others to protect"
"But you could get lied to, back stabbed, betrayed or played with. Just like today" I replied back slowly, but Lucina shook her head in denial.
"Trust is a beautiful thing Lucian. Without it, we'll all go mad and feel alone in this world. Trust was very important to my mission as well" The princess reassured me "Trust doesn't come easy to most, especially the heroes in this world, but you are an innocent soul. Keep that innocence and I swear on the Falchion we'll keep you safe from anyone trying to play with that trust"
"Thank you Lucina. I needed that pep talk" I smiled and Lucina did the same "I'll just keep my guard up from now on. Won't be trusting any pretty faces right away now"
"Glad to hear it. Let's get back to Askr now"
…
In the evening, I headed towards the summoning ruins with the Echoes of Mystery banner in my hand and my orb bag stuffed with a large sum of 38 orbs. No matter what, I was getting Katarina today. After Lucina gave me the pep talk, I understood Katarina's actions and felt pity for her. The poor tactician wasn't made to be an assassin. Accompanying me to the ruins were the Robin twins, Marth and Catria.
"Is it just me or did the summoning ruins change since last time?" Robin noted when we arrived. He was right. The old summoning ruins was a hollow box of stone with five large crystal balls imbedded into the wall, with the altar underneath it and the banner slot near the front. Now, the summoning "ruins" was a mystical spire glowing with multicoloured light led up by a staircase of quartz white steps on a hillside. The marble floor of the altar was lined with glass that glowed with low blue light.
"So this was what Anna was doing after I summoned Bride Charlotte" I realized as I pulled five orbs from my orb bag and set them into the Breidablik. Robin took the banner from my hand and slid it into the slot on the floor, which was near the staircase. After I loaded my five orbs, a vision burned into the air in front of me, resembling the wall with the crystal balls in the old ruins. Three colorless orbs and two red orbs were my selections.
"Well, it's either Katarina or Luke, so let's hope for the former. We don't need another sword cavalier after Xander" I pointed to the red orb with my Breidablik and the vision disappeared, my divine weapon shaking to indicate it was ready to fire. I clicked the trigger and my five orbs flew out in a beautiful rainbow spiral towards the spire, colliding with the crystal sphere in the center together in a white flash. Light went down the spire and dust blew from the sides before erupting in a pillar of blinding light. When the light faded, I almost believed that it was fate that brought the short haired tactician to Askr. Standing before me was Katarina herself.
"Please call me Katarina. I once aspired to be a tactician, but that didn't really go through. I have magic though" Katarina brought up her Rauorowl+ tome to emphasize "Happy to be here at last Lucian"
"You're the same one from our fight in the World of Mystery?" I asked and Katarina nodded "Whoa… what are the chances? One timeline among millions and we got the exact one"
"Pleased to meet you all. I hope I could be of some aid" Katarina bowed respectfully to the Robin twins, then faced Marth and Catria "Oh! Prince Marth and Catria of the Whitewings. Nice to see you here too"
"You know me?" Both Marth and Catria asked in unison.
"Those two are from the timeline after the War of Shadows. They don't know you yet" I told Katarina "Maybe you can talk with them for a bit while I continue summoning?"
"Wouldn't knowing the future be bad for them?"
"As far as I know, sending a hero back to their original world wipes their memories of Askr and anything they heard in here. Anna told me that" I replied "So I wouldn't worry"
"Okay then. That's good" Katarina walked over and struck up a conversation with Marth and Catria while the Robins continued watching me summon. Summing it up, I got a handful of four star and three star units, including Jeorge, Hana, Saizo, Shanna, Effie and Raven. Once my orbs were gone, we made our way back to the castle.
"Katarina's cute, isn't she?" Robin said quietly as he hauled me ahead of the group for them not to hear "And another tactician for our little squad"
"You're looking at her funny. You aren't falling for her already, are you?" I asked skeptically and Robin shook his head, exasperated.
"Unlike a certain archer I know, I don't instantly fall in love with a woman after a first glance. Looks aren't everything, you know" The tactician replied "I'll start by being friends with her and working up from there. That's how you're doing it with Catria, right?"
I sighed, too tired from the battles to even be embarrassed "I suppose I am. Good luck then Robin. I'll stay off of Katarina for yours and Catria's sake"
"Heh, I knew you were thinking about Katty too" Robin snickered, then left me alone when Robinne moved closer to hear about what we were saying.
"What were you two talking about?" Robinne asked.
I yawned "Guy stuff. Oh look, we're here at the castle. Goodnight"
Before Robinne could respond, I walked up the staircase and into my bedroom, falling asleep the instant my head hit the pillow. Life in Askr was never going to not be tiring for me.
And I loved it.
Tacticians of the Past and Future - Robin and Katarina's C Support
"Good evening Katarina. Enjoying Askr so far?" Robin asked as he took the empty spot next to Katarina on the garden bench.
"Hello Robin. Yes, this place is better than what I hoped it to be. The countryside looks beautiful and castle itself is as majesty as Altea castle" Katarina replied, smiling "I have to note the library though. Books from every timeline and continent throughout history… I could spend days in there"
"Seems like you're the same as I. I spend nearly every waking moment in there, studying foreign military strategies and magical rituals to gain an edge over my foes. You know about the historical Battle of Belhalla?" Robin asked.
"No, I'm afraid I couldn't find anything like that in Altea's library" Katarina shook her head.
"Well, to put it this way, the duke of Velthomer, Arvis acted as the heir to Chalphy, Sigurd's ally for several years, helping him subjugate the countries Verdane and Agustria via a Silver Sword or his little brother, Azel" Robin explained "After Sigurd's been branded a traitor for killing the prince of the imperial continent, Grannvale, Arvis welcomes Sigurd and his army to explain themselves and prove themselves innocent"
"What happened next?" Katarina's curiosity only grew as Robin continued his story, despite her knowing nothing about the people in it.
"Sigurd's army rode into the imperial capital of Belhalla, thinking that they could finally clear their names and prove the prince's real killer" Robin continued "And then Arvis flipped around and trapped Sigurd's army with the army of Velthomer, the Roten Ritter. Along with them, Arvis destroyed Sigurd and his army utterly, wiping them off the face of the earth with Meteor magic"
"That's horrible…"
"I must commend Arvis for holding out his game for that long to activate his plan, but yeah, it was terrible" Robin agreed "The battle began the slow destruction of the entire continent, but Seliph, Sigurd's son, and his army managed to save it"
"This is so interesting. I need to go to the library to read up more on this" Katarina stood up "You… you wouldn't mind coming with me, right? I need you to find the right book for me and… I just want you with me. You remind me so much of someone dear to me"
"Of course. Come on, follow me" Robin took Katarina's hand like a gentleman and led her towards the library.
"So I heard you were training to become a tactician, but you said it didn't work out" Robin continued while the two were walking "Why is that?"
"You wouldn't hate me if I said the truth?"
"Given the correct reasoning, I wouldn't"
"Okay, I'll trust you not to then" Katarina took a deep breath "My true desire is to become a tactician, but I was actually trained as an assassin my whole life"
"Well, that's a revelation if I've ever heard on" Robin didn't look fazed in the slightest. Katarina thought he must of dealt with people like her before "When we get to the library, I want to hear your story. A young, beautiful lady like you doesn't look fit for the bloody life of an assassin"
"Oh uhm… thank you?" Katarina blushed at the compliment "But you're right. I'm not fit to be an assassin. I befriended the platoon I was apart of in Altea and I grew attached to Lucian to the point where I told him we were going into a trap on the pure instinct that I wanted him to be safe"
"And those traits breed an excellent teammate to have around" Robin smiled "If you want to, maybe I could tutor you to be a tactician. You said it was your true desire"
"You really don't need to do all of this for me Robin. I'm sure you're busy enough" Katarina protested, but Robin shook his head.
"I've had a lot of time to kill these days. It wouldn't hurt to be in the library with someone besides my sister for a change" Robin replied "Also, if you're wondering why I'm not surprised by you being an assassin is because I've heard much worse. Myself included"
When they reached the library, Robin pulled off his glove to show Katarina the Brand of the Fell Dragon. A deep purple mark adorned with six eyes that seemed to stare into your soul.
"Compared to you, I'm much worse" Robin explained, tugging his glove back on "Me and my sister are vessels for the fell dragon Grima, the apocalyptic dragon of darkness and annihilation who almost destroyed Lucina's world entirely"
"You're explaining this to me awfully calmly. I doubt you share this so lightly with anyone else" Katarina replied, shocked.
"No I don't. Nobody else here knows besides the other heroes from the World of Awakening" Robin took a seat at his favourite table near the window, sweeping various papers to the side "I'm just telling you to remind you that in this world, your dark past doesn't matter. People accept me for what I am now and I'm technically a much larger threat than anyone will ever be"
"I'm glad to hear that. To be honest, I was afraid I wasn't going to be accepted easily here" Katarina accepted the book Robin handed to her as she lit a candle with her fire magic "How long have you been here anyways?"
"I was one of the first heroes Lucian summoned here. The only heroes who came before me are Eliwood, Niles, Odin, Caeda and Maria" Robin replied while reading the spines on the book pile lying on the table "So anyways, shall we start on your tactician lessons today? Or do you want to read for a little while?"
"Let's read for a bit. I want to start lessons tomorrow when I'm refreshed after sleeping" Katarina glanced at the luminous moon overhead through the glass dome ceiling "I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to focus, given how tired I am"
"Sounds good. I doubt I could teach very well either, since I spent today fighting in the training tower with Prince Alfonse, Nino and Celica" Robin opened his leather-bound book, titled "The Goddess of Radiant Dawn: Tellius Saga Book II". Katarina opened her own book, titled "Genealogy of the Holy War: Book I", stealing glances at Robin from atop the volume.
Early in the morning, Alfonse came into the library and found the two tacticians sleeping together on the couch, books of many kinds on the table and ground. Katarina's head was resting on Robin's chest like a pillow. Alfonse simply sighed, but smiled at the adorable scene. He gathered up the scattered books on the floor and stacked them on the table nearby for the two to organize later and covered them with a blanket in the couch compartment.
"I'll be seeing these two a lot in the library from now on…" Alfonse murmured to himself.
And that wraps up the paralogue from my favorite game in the series: New Mystery of the Emblem. This paralogue was really a pain in the ass in Lunatic, as IS bumped the enemy stats to level 40+ levels and given that Katarina, Clarisse, Legion and Athena are all fast, this made them all near-immune to being doubled there. Brave weapons didn't work either, since being level 40+ means your HP goes far past 45 or higher. Other than that, have a cute scene with Katarina and Robin since I have them S supported together in Heroes. Coming next is the War of the Clerics VG and the Legion GHB (which had the first Infernal difficulty) If you want to be notified of when a new chapter comes out, favorite and follow. If you want to give me constructive criticism or praise, leave a review. Until next time!
