Here I am! The one year anniversary of when I first published this story to fanfiction is today.
What better time to start updating again?
I would like to apologize for being gone longer than I intended but the story is nearing completion. From here it is a straight shot of Saturday updates to 'Finals Week'!
Fire Emblem: New Emissaries
Ymarkteg: YMARKTEG
Recap Six
The Midnight once again set their sights on Numengate as the stage on which they will reveal to the world that there is no such thing as peace.
Soren and Mia's Troop heads for Numengate where Zihark's group joins the Golsaehr Defense led by Istequil and his fellow commanders Helena and Vargas, as they do battle with an army of The Midnight.
At the same time the Numengate Citadel is attacked by another army and Althropos' commanders: Quaid and Nexin mobilize to defend the Citadel.
The Midnight sends in all of their leading commanders: Dalton Pesh, Asai Versha, Kanahana, Zijo Oit, Tyse Erent, Norad Jyuugo and four Midnights.
Due to the confusion of who is Einseek, Soren goes to meet with Einseek at the Apothecary's Keep and discovers that the apothecary is a woman, one who was involved with the Dark Days of War and the Warring Ages alongside the 'real' Ulmeihn, Ushnae, the Hermit named Mazear and a man named Nias.
The Fell Lord's Arms are revealed to have been separated into two parts, the Shadow Arm that can be summoned at will and the Physical Arm which is sealed in the Elder Sage's black chests.
The Anondye Elder Sage Shaelin is also revealed as a traitor who kills Ilan and takes the Physical Helswath to the Midnight. He then tries to kill Opstun the Numengate Elder Sage but is stopped by Sarhara's Elder Sage, Teyron.
The Apothecary takes the name Eien and goes to Numengate with Soren to join the fight against the Midnight.
Eventually the war outside the walls of Golsaehr ends and the Midnight break into the city. The defenders gain reinforcements from Sarhara and Anondye, turning the tide of the war.
The Sarharans however are revealed to be The Altar, fighting to protect their version of peace that they hold over Ymarkteg. Meloi attacks Mistress and she reveals herself as the Sarharan Queen Yi'Pyre. Her right hand man Peltzm'Jakq finally kills the Dune Guard Leader.
The evidence that comes before the groups seem to point that Headmaster Kino was also working with the Altar. While they aren't completely true this is fact as Kino worked alongside Jikahn in concealing the Euto Research Center destruction as well as imprisoning Iltar'Elm and hunting down Re'Zin.
Soren and Mia's Troop, though they reunited with Zihark, split up again, one half remaining with the Golsaehr Defense while the others enter the Citadel to protect the King.
Outside, Cadeera and the real Tyse Erent arrive to aid the Defenders. The false Tyse Erent is killed outside the Citadel, as is Dalton Pesh who was in a lengthy duel with Lyle. However, upon the Blade Monk's death, Lyle sees something horrible and in an attempt to stop it, he kills himself in front of Kay'Shera.
In the Citadel Soren and Mia's half aids Quaid and Nexin before learning that the King is making his escape at the behest of his Advisor. Quaid and Nexin are both killed as the Citadel battle rages and the group eventually finds the King in an underground escape tunnel only to be cut off by Kanahana, Ushnae, Norad Jyuugo and the Master of the Midnight who calls himself the Midnight's Apothecary.
A lengthy battle rages on as Asai Versha and Midnight 3 join in followed by Shaelin and the other half of Soren and Mia's Troop. The Apothecary casts Singularity, flooring the entire Troop and uses the Orichalcum and Althropos' body to fully resurrect the student of Seino Numengate: Einseek now wielding Balmung.
They reveal their true goal was to resurrect The Fell Lord, with the Orichalcum in hand the Apothecary uses all his power to call back the Fell Lord and the Orichalcum shatters as he succeeds. The dead Midnight, Anondye, Altar and Numengatian Troops come back to life and began ripping apart the remaining armies while approaching the Citadel.
Lyle himself arrives at the Citadel as the Troop struggles to make their last stand. Confused at how their comrade was standing there despite the fact that he killed himself they learn that the Fell Lord was within Lyle the whole time and Lyle kills Orgoth.
As Kanahana, Ushnae and Norad Jyuugo move to kill the Troop, Ike and his Mercenaries finally arrive and another leg of combat begins as Rhys heals Soren and Mia's Troop.
Fighting together the groups push back and manage to kill Midnight 3, Shaelin and Zijo Oit.
Tired of the combat, The Fell Lord banishes the group and erects a massive castle in place of the Numengate Citadel this new structure is the black and majestic Midnight Bastion. Using four replica Orichalcum he creates a massive barrier making Numengate inaccessible.
The heroes return to Anondye with Orgoth's body and learn that Midnight 3 was actually a reconstituted Murawk. This confirms that Midnights are humans whose bodies are altered and become subservient to the higher ups of the Midnight.
They are met by Kino prior to leaving Numengate who tells them of the four towers that will cause a massive barrier to form around Numengate and if they wish to challenge the Midnight they need to destroy the towers. Kino reveals that all the evil and history brought out from Soren and Mia's past was due to him. They told Kino things in confidence that he betrayed as a dual operator trying to get close enough to kill Mistress and Peltzm'Jakq while truly working for the Midnight.
The groups meet with Queen Talia of Anondye and Senator Vassaan to discuss what to do now.
The Queen and Senator must appoint leads to reconstruct the broken Anondye Army and send out messengers to request alliances with Sarhara, Regalshin and Pozem's Royal Armies, something that may prove difficult as Yi'Pyre the Altar's Mistress is Sarhara's Queen and two others of the Royal Ring: Duke and Hierarch have controlling positions in Regalshin and Pozem.
Soren, Mia and Ike take on the task of destroying the four Midnight structures that are generating the barrier around Numengate.
As always, the goals are simple but the methods are not, they must divide the Mercenaries and Troop members into four groups to tackle the towers, destroy the towers and Orichalcum to drop the barrier around Numengate then invade and defeat The Midnight.
All to free Ymarkteg from the endless night that threatens it…
