AUTHOR'S NOTES
Thanks to the wonderful feedback I have received on Path of the Azure Blue Flame, I will be novelizing the sequel to Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. I know that the first chapter may seem a bit off, but I attempted my best at this story. The story will tackle a lot more heavy themes like the previous story did in a thoughtful and respective manner to make the story interesting and understandable, as there are a lot of real-world issues presented in this story.
Like the story path of the Azure Blue Flame, I have used multiple sources online in order to get this story right. I will explain in the endnotes of the story what sources I have used for this special sequel project.
I DO NOT OWN THIS CONCEPT, STORY, OR THE CHARACTERS PRESENTED. ALL I OWN ARE THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS AND CONCEPTS! Enjoy!

CHAPTER 1
The continent of Tellius, year 648. Three years after the Mad King's War and the death of the Mad King Ashnard, Daein was without a proper successor to their deadly king. They, along with the neighboring country of Crimea that was ruled by the new, beautifully crowned Queen Elincia, were still rebuilding from the scars of the harsh and bloody war. In Daein, who was without a successor to the infamous Mad King Ashnard, they were being ruled by occupation forces of the Empire of Begnion. The forces of the Begnion occupation persecuted and abused Daein citizens and men by sending them to internment camps. Their intension was destroying Daein as a country.
To fight back the occupational forces of Daein, Nolan, a green-clothed seasoned fighter, and Micaiah, a young girl known as the Silver-Haired Maiden, formed an organization known as the Dawn Brigade. Other members of the Dawn Brigade included Sothe, a killer rogue friend of Micaiah, and Bri, a wolf-riding valkyrie that fought in the Mad King's War three years ago to avenge her family that was really killed by Ashnard and not a plague.
One night, Begnion occupational forces were looking for someone that was heard under the dark gray skies. One soldier asked another if they had found anything yet, and the soldier answered with a no and a nod to his good sir. He was ordered to keep looking. Micaiah, who was hiding behind a wall, was scared, thinking that the Begnion soldiers would find her. But when she made a footstep, and her pet bird Yune chirped, this alerted the Begnion soldiers.
"Who's there?!" asked a Begnion soldier. Yune later flew away.
"No, it's just a bird." said another soldier. Later on, Micaiah was later caught.
"You thought we never seen you hiding in there?" asked a soldier.
"Let…me…go!" said Micaiah.
"Oh, the general is going to love this piece of gifting." said a soldier. "Bind her up." The guards did as asked, but one was killed by Sothe.
"AH!" screamed a soldier. "She's not alone!" Another soldier blew a goat horn to attract the attention of other soldiers.
"We gotta flee." said Sothe.
"Right." said Micaiah. "Yune! Down here!" Yune later followed Micaiah into a dark abyssal forest.
A few days later, at the Daein Capital of Nevassa, Edward, a myrmidon of the Dawn Brigade, was looking for an archer named Leonardo. He was destined that he would arrive soon, but there was, however, trouble lurking. A lady and a boy named Nico were telling Micaiah and Edward that there were bandits in the area, hunting them down like a beast stalking its prey at night.
"Bandits?!" asked Edward.
"Then we must fight." Micaiah said.
"Yeah, we're from that same Dawn Brigade that the damn Daein soldiers are interested in!" Edward said.
"Hey don't cuss, there's children here!" Micaiah said.
"Hey, you guys are members of the Dawn Brigade?" asked Nico. "My friends talk about you all the time!"
"Children…forced to fight for the good of the poor." said the lady.
"Hey, don't worry. I fought in the Mad King's War to avenge my family." Bri said. "Now, I am on the side of the Dawn Bridgade after searching for some work around here. And at this time, this is my chance to fight! By wolf riding!"
"Good idea, Bri." said Micaiah. Micaiah, Bri, and Edward later went to deal with the bandits.
"Listen up, louts!" the bandit captain Pugo said. "This town's nothin' but slimy, idiodic children and greybeards everywhere. Tear the city apart!" said Pugo.
"We're on our way, sir!" said a bandit.
"Yes, sir!" said a poacher.
"Yaaaaaawwwnn…" yawned an axefighter. "I think I…might set this one out, people, I–"
"DON'T YOU PULL YOUR SHIT NOW!" Yelled Pugo to the axefighter. The axefighter later dropped to sleep. Pugo later chopped his head clean off. "Now will I be tolerating any of this shit from the rest of you?!" Everyone nodded no. "Then I suggest you kill everyone in this damned Daein wasteland!" Everyone later ran off like a group of hyenas.
"They're coming…" said Edward.
"We must fight them back…" said Micaiah.
"Come to mama, bandits!" said Bri. "I'll let my pet wolf bite you until your faces are clean off!" When a bandit came closer to Bri, Micaiah stepped in front of Bri, and spoke in Ancient Tongue. The bandit thought of it as an insult, as he did not understand a word Micaiah said. The bandit was later dead; Micaiah recieved a vulnerary.
"No matter the matter of man, the goddess judges with an even hand." Micaiah said to herself. The group later went off to defeat the rest of the bandits. Little did they know that this would soon begin an extraordinary adventure on their side.
