What's up fire emblem fans and welcome to chapter two of "Lost Hope". I'll be honest though this chapter was really hard for me to write because of Grima but I think it turned out okay. Also who's hyped for Fire Emblem Heroes! I know I am though I haven't cast my vote because I've barely played any of the other games. I'm also excited for the Gaiden remake cause that looks hella fun. Honestly though I was expecting a Holy War remake cause it was the one that introduced the child mechanic but who knows maybe we'll get one in the not so distant future. Anyway I hope you all enjoy this chapter and all reviews and criticism are welcome.
The dust cleared revealing Lucina to be mostly unharmed hanging from a ledge where the back wall once was.
"So ends the human race" a maniacal voice rang out.
Lucina managed to pull herself up and immediately got into a combat stance with both hands on falchion's hilt.
That voice?! But why is he here? Lucina asked herself while looking for the source of the voice.
"The future is built upon the past" the voice stated, "but your kind shall never see it" the voice continued laughing maniacally.
Over there! Lucina realized turning to the gaping hole in the room only to see three glowing red eyes staring down on her.
Grima, Lucina thought with a mix of fear and anger.
"Your mother and father are dead, tiny one." Grima said raising his head preparing to strike.
Lucina raised falchion pointing it at the fell dragon. There was a mix of fear and determination on her face
"Now it is your turn… TO DIE!" Grima yelled as he thrust his head forward intent on devouring Lucina.
"AAAHH" Lucina cried out with fierce determination whilst preparing for Grima's strike.
This is it but if this is the end I can at least go down fighting. Lucina thought waiting for the fell dragon to strike.
"RADIANT DAWN!" Owain suddenly yelled out thrusting his sword at one of Grima's eyes stopping him inches away from Lucina.
"ARGH!" Grima cried out recoiling his head in pain.
"Owain?" Lucina asked now in shock.
"Lucy over here!" A voice called out.
Lucina looked to her right to see Cynthia, on her pegasus, running toward her with her hand out stretched. Snapping back into reality, Lucina grabbed Cynthia's hand and quickly climbed onto the pegasus.
"Owain I got her now let's retreat!" Cynthia yelled as they flew across the room
"Right!" Owain nodded
"why you little!" Grima roared in anger regaining his composure.
Grima then let out a powerful roar that reverberated across the city.
"Ahh!" Lucina and Cynthia screamed as the pegasus was nearly blown away by the force of the roar.
"Hgnng" Owain grunted trying to stand his ground as small pieces of rubble and dust flew past him.
Using this chance, Grima's head lunged downward towards Owain at incredible speeds.
Crap! Owain cursed, his eyes widening at what was happening.
"Owain!" Cynthia and Lucina yelled in concern whilst recovering from the shockwave.
Grima's head only centimeters away from him, suddenly stopped. A loud silence then overtook the room.
What's going on why doesn't he strike? Owain thought in confusion unable to move due to shock.
Now's my chance! Lucina thought snapping back into reality and dashing towards the fell dragon.
"Lucy what are you-?!" Cynthia asked in concern
"Helping Owain; you go hide behind that pillar over there!" Lucina ordered.
Heh heh heh I sense something from this boy; I could find use out of him,Grima mused beginig to exert some magic.
Time seemed to stop around Grima and Owain. As everything faded around them, Owain found himself face to face with a hooded man surrounded by dark energy.
Those clothes, no it couldn't be he's dead, Owain thought in shock, "relinquish your identity now!".
"eccentric as ever I see but I guess that can't be helped." The man spoke in a calm and manipulative tone.
"I said relinquish your identity!" Owain repeated visibly shaken as various negative emotions rattled through his body.
"Impatient are we? Well if you must know I am someone you should know quite well." The man said lifting his arm to remove his hood.
Could it really be him?! Owain thought to himself as his emotions constrained him causing him to freeze up.
"GRIMA!" A female voice suddenly cried out.
"Huh!?" Owain let out snapping out of his trance and turning his head.
"Hmph" Grima grunted hearing it aswell.
Lucina charged towards Grima's head Falchion raised, but just as Lucina was about to strike Grima's whole body suddenly dissipated into shadows.
"Dammit where'd he go?" Lucina Asked in frustration as Falchion slashed the floor where Grima's giant head once was.
"I don't know." Owain said still somewhat shaken.
"Gah ha ha ha ha" Grima's voice rang out, "Count yourselves lucky I'm sparing you for now cause it appears I've got other matters to attend to, but know this…"
"Guh!?" The two teens grunted in fear looking up to see a shadowy figure floating outside the castle.
"I wIlL fInIsH tHe jOb!" The figure shouted maliciously before disappearing in a flash of light.
I think that's a good stopping point for now. Not much progression I know but we'll get there. Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you all when I come back with chapter 3.
