Chapter 1

The Dragon Trial

The sound of soft knocking can be heard as Ion remains in his room and ready to start the usual training which has gotten used to. His white robe with slit and red highlights dance in the wind from the open window nearby. A grey shoulder pad rest on his right shoulder with some heavy boots to protect him from foul attack be done by the enemy should it come into play. His gauntlets reaching for the mask lingering in the table since the king order him to remain hidden from people's views and constantly wearing his hoody with a mask to hide his trademark of a Dragonkin. As much as he doesn't enjoy hiding his face, he has to obey the king's order and sort of getting used to this habit.

"Your Highness, the king has requested a meeting with you at the castle of Alteria so do please hurry up and come down to make haste."

The voice reaches his ears which made him quickly put his mask on since such an odd request and never went into Alteria in a very long time which a small chance of meeting his other siblings. A smile slowly appears in his cover face, ignoring the fact of his hand bringing his hoody and hiding his identity since he only cares of the big reunion with this brothers and sisters. Ion's robe always remains open since he took inspiration from a faraway place where people use the art of swords and prefer speed over raw power. His white shirt could be seeing and his white pants having the same color scheme. Ion quickly heads out of this boring castle to reach his father's kingdom and arrive outside where the wagon is station. His body stop as he felt a light, his head turns around to see the blade that has been pass down for many generations waiting for Ion and immediately grab the large sheath to resume his previous flee. As he reaches the outside world, his red eyes could see an old butler sitting inside of the somewhat old wagon, another way to disguise his status and looking at him with a warm smile.

"Good morning sir, ready to return home and see your father? Or are you more amusing to see your brothers and sisters?" He asks.

Ion softly chuckles, "A little bit of both." Ion answers.

He approaches the wagon to enter with his old friend as they could face each other and the man moving along the wagon as the sound of the horse moving the vehicle. The wagon moves along swimmingly as they are destined to arrive at the Alteria kingdom which will take a while to arrive there but he wasn't in such a hurry since he waited for many years for this chance to show itself up. Ion could see the castle beginning to become smaller and smaller as he didn't miss such a lonely place but even so, such a place has much memory of his struggle. With that in mind, he couldn't hold a small joy scuff while a smile follows it and relaxing since his mask and hoody hide his royalty from the world.

"Is something wrong, sir?" The old butler asks.

"It's nothing, such as remembering the past of my painful struggles and only looking at them with ease now. To be honest, I would have never done those tasks father ask me to do if it wasn't you and the others servants giving moral support." Ion confesses.

Leon, the wise butler that has been taking care of them told by him and being his guidance throughout his lifetime which only made him some important. The other butlers and maid did make his trail a bit easy for him which only views them as a family rather than servants. Leon smiled at his kindness since he did always admire that from Ions and showing equal ground rather than him being above him which is a rare behavior in this harsh world they live in.

"Thank you, your highness; Your words do bring this old man back some years." Leon chuckles amuse.

"If only it was that easy." Ion chuckles, "Still, nobody is here to judge you, Leon, stop calling me prince or your highness. I don't care about such a moral thing and it will sort of make me stand out more if you keep saying that." Ion adds.

"Ah indeed, you are quite right about that so it has being a while since we both left that castle of yours and I will also avoid using your true name. This is quite a difficult task." Leon spoke.

It must be since Leon always is the person to keep his job as his butler and becoming a habit which will bring some problem but Ion didn't mind. The calm drive resume as the two happily chat among each other like friends and the time pass them by. The sight of tree covering their views is a welcome change since Alteria is a bit far from this forest and a village closes by. Ion could see the villagers walking by as they wave at their presence which he waves back naturally.

"We are nearly there, sir. Do you have the sword that the king gives you? We don't want to leave such a valuable weapon behind the castle." Leon advice.

His sheath remains horizontal on his hips as his hand fetch the hilt of the wonderful blade and slowly ascend from his hidden place. A good pull as Flash Edge shine into the view of mortal, the sword that took the life of the foul demon that brought chaos into the world and the red blade shining as bright as the sun above them. It is unknown what material the blade is made of but it is quite sharp and never worn out no matter how many swing Ion make which prove it to be quite powerful in the battlefield.

"Magnificent, such a sword brings goose bump to this old man bones. I can hardly believe on the existence of that demon and your great-great-grandfather's accomplishment." Leon spoke, amaze.

"Yeah, to think the king gives me such weapon for me to train. I wonder if I am worthy of using such weapon just like the hero told by legend." Ion said.

Ion's eyes looking down at the blade which he feels like he isn't worth to have such a piece of history on his hands and Leon remain quiet as he watches over him, worry about his line of thinking. Before Leon could encourage the sorrow Dragonkin, a loud scream hit their eardrums which cause Ion to raise his head and turn his head behind to see the trail of smoke coming from the village. His eyes widen at the horrible sounds echoing from the village, his hand slowly putting back his weapon back into the sheath and putting his arm into the exit door.

"Sir, I know what you are thinking but your safety is above more-"

Without any thought or worry, Ion dash toward the village with his unshaken will guide the prince toward the battle and his eyes flaring with bravery to stop the problem from being a major dilemma. He took small breaths as his feet hit against the dirt road leading to the village and reaching upon the main entrance. A deadly silence welcome the prince as his eyes could see nothing, no people, no activity, and animal in sight but he could still see the sign of trouble around the area. His right-hand grips the grip of his sword tightly as he slowly enters the village and his eyes darting around to check for any danger.

"Something is very wrong...I can feel it..." He thought.

He walks slowly as he let his right arm rest on his scabbard to easily pull his blade quickly for a counterattack should the enemy dart to attack from any spot. As he walks he could spot a strange shadow in the floor below him which made him eyes slowly widen at this and quickly slash behind him to slice through something like butter. A loud animal cry emerges as Ion could see a shadowy silhouette of an animal laying in the floor and cut in half by his sword. He remains very confused as to what this thing even was since it looks quite inhuman in every angle he looks at it. His body is made of mist as it dissolved into nothingness and his eyes glowing yellow as it is gone from his sight. To add to his confusion, his blade began to glow by the sheer presence of this thing close to him and quite surprise their body being so soft.

"So, you finally see what a Silencer are..."

A familiar voice spoke behind to see Leon panting heavily since it looks like he ran after him and always worry about him while ignoring his age like always. Ion put his blade back to approach Leon to help him with his panting and curious as to what he mentioned.

"Silencer? Do you know what those things are? I never have seen them before.." Ion question.

"I do...your father has been keeping that information away from you since he knows...that you will chase after them and try to save people while...ignoring your training back at the castle," Leon explains, panting.

Ion growl softly at Leon hiding such important detail from him since this could be quite useful but they are right, he would of keep the village safe. Still, it wasn't right for them to keep those things hidden from him and the sacrifice of his people wasn't worth it.

"Leon, tell me more about this thing, now." Ion spoke, seriously.

Leon sight, "I knew this day will come, very well sir, "Leon nod, "This strange thing is called the Harbinger, and they come with different type too." He spoke, sadly.

His eyes gaze down at the spot where one of the Harbingers once lay and turning toward the direction to check on something.

"This type of Harbinger is the Silencer previously mention. They are the scout, they hunt in packs and the dangerous part is that they can't make any noise. Running, walking, jumping, you name it, you can't hear them coming and by the time you realized it. You are already dead." Leon explains.

Ion remains quiet as he listens to every spoke that comes from Leon's lips to engrave it into his mind and realizing something from their little encounter with a Harbinger. The Silencer didn't make any sound which made Ion sight at the problem they can cause and will have to rely on his other senses besides hearing.

"I see, that would explain why you didn't want me to come here and it does help me understand what I am fighting."

"You are still going to fight? To be honest, I was expecting such an answer from you and for that, I will join the cause." Leon smile.

"What!? You can't, I don't want to risk your life in here so let me handle this alone, Leon." Ion disagrees.

Leon chuckles amuse by Ion's worry about his safety as his right hand pull a dagger and his left pulling a staff.

"Don't underestimate me, in the battlefield; I am more capable than just serving you and keeping an eye on you. I am a veteran, and a proud of at that so don't worry about me, the experiences will become my weapon." Leon replies, confidently.

Ion's glare didn't make Leon lose confidence in his comment which made him sight and turning back toward the village to resume his previous stance. His right arm wrap around his scabbard whiles his other hand adjusting his mask while thinking about his old friend ready to fight for him.

"Alright, just promise me you won't die here, okay? I don't want to come home with an important friend's body and digging a graveyard to rethink of the good time." Ions mutter.

"Your kindness knows no bound, your highness, be at ease and I will keep my promise to you." Leon reply.

Ion nod at this promise as they quickly head deeper into the village to see blood painting the streets and making Ions a bit angry at the sight of his people suffering while he remains hidden. But not this time, his blade will know judgment and will kill any Harbinger without any mercy. The sound of a whimpering of a child causes them to turn their head toward that direction to see a young girl crying as one of the Harbinger loom above her and his shadowy claw inch away from her small head. Ion sprint into actions to draw his shining blade once again burning red from the presence of the Harbinger and Leon pulling back of the dagger.

"Eat this you foul beast!" Leon snarls.

He throws the dagger to impale his body which causes him to stop with his attempt killing and raise his hand to meet with Ion's glowing blade. His head rolls into the floor to disappear followed by his body falling down and doing the same thing.

"I-I want my mommy!" The girl cries out.

The mere sight of her sadness made Ion sad as well since they suffer quite a lot but not anymore, they will be no more death on his sight.

"Leon, take the girl into safety. I will handle any more Harbingers here until you come back." Ion order.

"Alright, just be safe and the Silencer always comes with a pack." Leon reminds him.

Leon quickly covers the girl to go into the nearest building to keep her hidden from the beasts lurking around here and already dispatched two of them. Ion slashes away his sword to cut the wind itself and slowly put it back into his scabbard to with the same pace until he hears the click to resume his stance. The sound of struggle appears inside of a house close by which made him sprint into action toward the ruckus and opening the door to see a 6ft. 2 in. young man there looking at him surprise by his presence and noticing his black hair reaching his shoulder.

"A villager?" He thinks.

His eyes look down to see him shaking hand holding a bronze spear which made him raise an eyebrow for him to hold such a weapon. His attire is just simple cloth clothing with light-leather armor attach and some steel greaves to have small protection.

"Oh thank the heaven, are you here because of those beast walking around the village." The man spoke, relief.

"I pass by by mere chance but I am handling them as we speak. Where are the others?" Ion reply.

"They are in the shelter but! some of them are gravely wounded due to their sudden attack and need medical attention fast!" The man answer, worry.

Ion felt a bit at ease knowing they are all safe but he isn't in the clear just yet since the sudden appearance of four Harbingers appear in the center of the village. This made Ions to hide inside of the house looking outside to see them all gather around and almost communicating with each other which they possess some intelligence which means trouble for him. His blade seems to keep glowing around them which he took noted as his sword could sense and do more damage to them. The villager approaches the young prince to make him feel fear at the sight of four Harbingers close to their perimeter and swallowing hard.

"N-No way, how are YOU going to beat them all?" The villager ask.

"I am not doing anything; WE are going to do something." Ion answer.

"What!? There is no way I can do something! I am a lover, not a fighter and I don't have a fancy sword like you so I am more of a punching bag than anything." The young man spoke, afraid.

Ion's eyes glance back to the terrified villager since anyone would be and yet here he is and unable to do something to stop this from happening.

"Anyone can do something, only you know what you can or can't truly do. Fighting raw power isn't the only thing available to your arsenal; you have to think outside the box when meeting with a hard ordeal." Ion encourages.

The village listens to Ion's encouragement which did push him to think of an alternative solution and he is more than capable of thinking bigger here. His word hit him hard since he is a coward and he knows it since his excuse will always be about strength. Not this time, his hands grip the lance in his hands and began thinking of a solution to this problem while Ions focus on the monster sniffing around the area for his scent. The villager began to deeply focus with the help of Ion to fully understand what he means and gasp at the obvious answer which made him hit his head softly.

"I got it! I think I have a solution of beating those things once and for all without fighting them all." He smiles, proudly.

Ion turn around to see the young boy smiling at the idea he has which made him turn around and listen to what he has in mind.

"Is that so? Mind telling what you have in mind?" Ion asks.

"Before that, my name is Joan, I know it is too late for an introduction but it sounds rude for not introducing myself to you," Joan greet, "What's your name?" Joan asks.

Ion smile, "You will have to earn that after we win this battle, Joan." Ions reply.

Joan chuckles at his reply as they dive into Joan's big plan to win this battle and listen to his advice. After a while of planning, Ions bolt from the door to quickly make some distance between the Harbinger and they quickly react by chasing after him, oblivion to Joan sprinting behind them. They may have smart but they are too focus on killing Ions since they couldn't detect Joan's chase and Ion rethinking of Joan's words.

"Anyways, the plan is to use the safety measure the village has just in case of a bandit raid and there is a rope near a barrel if you head to our right from this spot, you can't miss. If you cut the rope, you will trigger the trap just up ahead so keep with that running pace unless you want to get hit by it."

His eyes look around to see the rope next to the barrel and cutting it with his blade as they pass by. The rope loose grip of the trap as a large trunk fill with spikes hit one of the four Harbingers and quickly falling into the floor in pain. Ions smile at the plan while going into the next phase and having the three Harbingers quickly closing the gap. Meanwhile, Joan spot the wounded dark animal as hit spear pierce its skin and destroy it which he sighs since he is quite relieved that it died with one hit.

"Next, head to the barn close toward that direction which split into two paths and heading to the right will lead you into another trap. You should jump over the pile of leaf since that's a pitfall and I will try to finish the weak monster while you distract them."

Ions could see the two paths leading into the same barn which he quickly shifts into the right to see the pile of leaf Joan told him about. He took a leap over them to quickly find the foul monster trying to attack him but miss and fell into the pitfall while the other two avoid it. Right after that, Joan look down the hole to see Harbinger struggling to move and in pain which Joan sight to throw his bronze spear down the pitfall to kill it. Ion began to have trouble with the Harbingers as they manage to catch up and attacking from behind him due to a leap from one of them. His body land on the dirt of the farm to feel his sharp claw trying to dig inside of him which cause him to grunt and leap away from the floor to push him away. His body flies as his head hovering in the floor in the air as he could see the other one already leaping toward him and his hand reaching for his sword to slash him away. The next moment leads to Ion rolling into the dirt while he groans at the pain coming from his back and his hood remove.

"Hey! Are you...okay..." Joan mutters, slowly.

Joan couldn't believe what his eyes are seeing, Ion's white hair dance in the wind as his mask fall off to reveal his powerful glaring gaze toward the Old one and they growl back at this bravery. The missing prince has return at long last to his kingdom, his mighty sword slash the air to prepare for a powerful attack since he feels the power coursing through him and learning a technique for a while now.

Level up!

"For Alteria!" Ion yell.

His word roar across the empty field which Joan finally understand who this person is and more amaze at his prowess but more importantly, him being alive all this time.

"Falling.." Ion mutters.

He took one giant leap to pull his blade behind him with both of his hand to slash down one of monster to cause it to be stun while his blade drains him and recover his body as he regains a bit of health. His attack isn't done as he crouches down to deliver a low kick to his legs to make him lose balance while pulling his sword back once more and finally aiming toward the earth with a mighty slash to cut his body into two.

"Star!" Ion scream.

The Harbinger didn't stand a chance as one remain in the battlefield as he began to step back away from the princes while he stands up and change his flaring eyes toward the next opponent. The beast isn't stupid; he knew he had no chance now after losing all of its comrades and seeing Ion angry while approaching him ever so slowly didn't help either. The Harbinger retreat from him which made Ion a bit surprised by their behavior but nevertheless, he sighs with relief to see this battle come to an end. Ion returns the sword back into the sheath while Joan approaches the hero and smiling at him which made him realize his small slip-up.

"You are Ion, aren't you? We were waiting for your return, your highness." Joan spoke, happily.

Ion deeply sight as his finger rub his nose since Joan find out about his identity and seeing Leon approaching to see the mess. After that whole mess is shifting toward the village, Leon explains that he found the shelter and bringing back the other to explain the good news of their village. Meanwhile, Ions put his hoodie back while using the mask to speak with the elder of this village.

"Thank you, young hero, we really appreciate your heroism you have shown today and we will like to reward such kindness from us to you." The elder spoke.

"No need, I came here to help you because I wanted to help you all and didn't want to see anyone dying today." Ion replies, calmly.

The elder smile at Ion's word as he doesn't need a reward to safe people but even so, his hand shows something wrap with a blue cloth. Ion look down to see it which made him curious to see it and he reveals a red gem which Ion remain silent since he knows what that rare gem is.

"This is an Energy Drop, I want you to have this and it will greatly help you on your journey, stranger." The old man spoke.

"Are you sure? You do know how rare this thing is." Ion replies.

"I am sure, you will need this more than we do and help with you with future fights which benefit us as well, don't you think." The old man smile.

Ions struggle at their decision but deep down he is right since he is the prince of Alteria and his fight will affect their life as well. With that in mind, his hand reaches for the cloth to wrap it around and take it for a good well done.

"Very well, I will accept your kind gift and wish you all a good harvest so thank you." Ion smile.

The entire village felt content with Ion's work as they cheer for his accomplishment without knowing of his true name beside Joan anyways. They left their hero alone as he began to depart and resume his travel toward the Alteria kingdom.

"Wait!"

A familiar voice stops the prince from entering the wagon which made him turn to see Joan looking with a serious expression and seem to be thinking fo something.

"I came here to say thank you, we will never have beaten those things if it wasn't you, your highness." Joan spoke, seriously.

Ion shakes his head, disagreeing to his statement, "You are wrong, It wasn't me that save the village, it was you and your plan after all. All I did was the heavy lifting that you couldn't do and it looks like you manage to use your home advantage to beat them so I have to say congratulation." Ion smile.

Joan smile as a bit tears swells in his eyes from being praise by his prince as Ion is impressed by his quick thinking and could see a big potential inside of this young man.

"Also!...Umm.." Joan stutters.

"Yes? What is it?" Ions wonder.

"I want to company you! I know I am not the most useful guy around...b-but! I will try my best to help you! s-so, please take me with you!" Joan spoke.

This sudden request took back Ion as he gasps softly at his little demand which is quite bold of him to ask and smile while his hand covers his smile since he looks quite silly but a fresh experience none the less.

"Alright, sure." Ion answer.

"Huh?...Wait, really!?" Joan gasps.

"Indeed, I can sense you have something great inside of you just waiting to be released so come, we are going into the castle of Alteria." Ion explains.

Ions enter the wagon while Joan follows happily since he is living the dream of any villager and very excited to see what kind of book the castle has since he is quite the bookworm. The travel didn't take long as they enter the kingdom of Alteria as Ion feel quite at home from the sight of people living here and longing for his siblings since he is very close now. After reaching the castle door, Ion didn't wait any longer as he quickly enters the large castle and maids and butlers welcome his arrive while bowing to the prince coming home today. His emotion right now is a bit angry since his father kept the existence of the Harbinger a secret from him and really want to talk to him about. Ion opens the door to the throne to quickly stop on its track and his eyes widen to the sight of a young girl talking with father. She also turns to meet his gaze and her white hair showing made him feel happy.

"Brother?"

[Casca] The Seven Dragonkin

[True Oath] – Mt: 2, Hit: 60, Crit: 0%, Rng: 4. A bow that cannot land a killing blow, believed to once have belonged to a lover of the Dragon of Light some centuries ago; nevertheless, it's effective against flying enemies. Grants Spd+2.

Personality: A bright-eyed, guileless, and optimistic young woman with an ironclad set of morals, Casca has never had a problem bringing a smile to the faces of those around her. Having always been eager to make friends and get to know strangers as a child, she was something of a handful for her Guardian, as it was difficult to keep the princess safe when she didn't think twice about waltzing up to someone she'd never seen before and tugging on their clothes to get their attention – it wouldn't be a lie to say that this extroversion was born somewhat out of a sense of loneliness, but her friendly disposition, honesty, and tendency towards altruism has never failed to make her well-liked. Whether she realizes it or not, she's a charming girl who's always been good with people.

Quote(s):

"I'm so sorry about this…!" [attacking]

"Oh, wow–! Father's spoken about some of you in his letters, but I never thought…u-um, ah, nevermind. R-Regardless, I'm so happy to finally meet all of you!" [meeting family]

"Casca, youngest daughter of f-ah, um, the King, and the bearer of the light dragon! Please, make yourselves at home!" [introduction]

"No. Absolutely not. I realize that when it comes down to it, you probably don't care, but they weren't just some faceless monster – they were a person. They had a life, memories, ambitions, and a family. What right do I have to decide that they don't deserve to live? I might shoot to defend, but my aim is never to kill – not ever." [defending her viewpoint on killing]

"Ah, well…I hope you don't think of me as careless or irresponsible; it's just…difficult to marry what I know with how I've been raised. Being told you're royalty, but growing up in a village and never meeting the majority of your family…it's difficult to really believe that such a thing is true. I won't say that I'm not grateful for not being the firstborn – I won't lie to you – but I plan on doing everything in my power to help everyone. This is my homeland, and I intend to protect it." [to ion]

[Lun] The Second Dragonkin

[Moon's Right] Mt 0 Hit 65 Crit 5% RNG 4; A tome used by the Dragon of Darkness, she was however defeated by the legendary hero, Strongly effective against Water and Light enemies. RES +2

Personality: Living in a life of solitude, Lun does everything he can to declaw the stark class inequality between himself and others. His words are perfumed with the scent of nobility yet they are kind and candid. His composure is poised yet his casual gestures are friendly, inviting, and somewhat childish. Yet somehow Lun never stopped to understand what the earth was like and will quietly ask the person he is most comfortable with and barrage them with questions, due too the lack of social restraint he had upon the moon since it was just him and his mother up there alone.
His curiosity could be his biggest problem as he may wander off and get himself into major trouble for himself, and/or others. With is lack of social boundaries it could be a problem for him to understand as he does not know much of the social rankings and people themselves.

Quote(s):
"Forgive me, but please die." [Attacking]

"Lun, second elder son of the king, bearer of the dark dragon, welcome too my realm..." [Introduction]

"So this is my family...you all...are like what father told me about...I'm so...so happy too meet you all! Please! Tell me what the earth is like~?! I've never been able too know...but I've heard stories and wonder if they are true?!" [Meeting Family]

"So this is what the water is like...ah?! Is this the grass?! It feels...soo amazing!" [Feeling the ground for the first time]

"...Being the next in line for the throne...my mother told me what they are meant too be like...despite my age...I do not know much about being a king or a prince for that matter but...I hope you can teach me before that day arrives..." [Requesting Ion to teach him about being a royal]

"So you are the youngest sibling...? I hope the earth has been treating you well through, if not please come too me and I will try too assist you to best of my abilities, okay?" [Speaking to the youngest sibling]

[Fjord] The Fifth Dragonkin

Reef King's Falchion - Might 3 Hit 70 Crit 25 Range 1. A coral encrusted falchion said to be gifted to the master of the seas, the coral shreds armor. Grants Def +2

Personality: Fjord is a charming fellow who keeps his word. His crew knows they can count on him keeping a cool head, confident smirk, and sharp wit when things get tough. He works hard so he can play hard when the work is done, and oh does he play hard. He likes meeting new people and going to new ports, particularly to try their ale and brawl in the tavern.
To Fjord, the one thing that keeps a ship together is a mutual respect between captain and crew, and that everyone does an equal share of work so everyone gets to have an equal share of the reward. To Fjord, he sees the sea as an escape, a place to be free, free from the confines of a palace, free from land, free of pesky noble tradition, and most of all free of being lazy. He tells people to not treat him like a noble or a captain, but as a person first, because at the end of the day, people are people and nothing more. His alignment is Chaotic Good.
Fjord does have a pride problem, one that he acknowledges. His pride in himself will be his downfall. If you question his courage, he will never back down no matter how dangerous the situation, for better or worse. He also tends to piss people off, sometimes on purpose and sometimes by accident, he tends to make people who first meet him punch him in the face.

"Hehe, this'll be fun..." Attacking
"Fjord, Captain Fjord, fifth child of the king, I think, and bearer of the thunder dragon, apparently. Welcome to the Mustang." introduction
"Oh stop flattering yourself, I ain't that important. Though not gonna lie, and excuse my language, but it's pretty fucking sweet meeting you guys in person. Ah who am I kidding hugs for everybody!" Meeting Family
"Ha Ha! Nothin' better than a fucking bar fight to wake you up, ha ha!" Starting a bar fight.
"...You need to get out of the castle more." Commenting on Ion's seriousness.

The 1st Chapter will be coming soon tomorrow or Wednesday. I do require two things for the couple of Act(s), A female retainer for Ion and the 7th Dragokin to keep forward along. Any questions you may have in mind, you can ask me directly in the PM after or before submitting the form. Also, the list is updated so check that daily to keep up with what's available to you or ask me for such intel as well, we can discuss the history of your OC to be reasonable at best.

Review(s)

alucard deathsinger - It has being a while since I pick up an FE so excuse me for putting such a broken skill and I will have to rethink of something more..."fair" if you so like but it is just an added bonus thing, it will have a small effect on the story overall. I will have to look some stuff up to refresh my knowledge of the franchise and I had to put this story as soon as possible so quickness could be at fault here. As for his personality, I try to shorten since writing a two paragraph sound quite a lot so I just sum it up as small as possible and didn't word it right which will explain his bleakness. Nevertheless, Ion is serious and kind but people VIEW him as a fearsome and unreachable person from the persecution of others, AKA, other Retainers beside his sibling since he will just throw away his serious attitude to relax. He does slightly hate being born first, unable to have "free" life just like the other children and need others to give him a boost of confident whether he can be a good king just like his father or his great-great-grandfather.

LuciferXIII Trollkaiger Green - Will do, and I think Alucard address that little problems of my character being not very good which the story will explain more than my quick, small summary of Ion.

David Ishihara - I do need two retainers to fully start the story so for now, I don't really need them and I want to give people the opportunity to send their own. One per person but I will keep that in mind if I really need characters.

ZenoZen - We will have to wait and see since I have a job but I will try my best to post a chapter 1 or 2 weeks or even more depending on many factors unaccounted for. Even so, I will do my best.

ObieSenpai - I am rather a patience but I am grateful if they do come in numbers...especially the female ones.

Bean Brigadier - Through a narrative point? To be honest, I just pull that summary from thin air and nothing much. I am waiting for such OC then.

Jayden Illusion Doe - Don't worry, the list is there to represent each of the 7 legendary dragons so that won't happen and keep people on check on what's available.
