Welcome to the latest chapter of Emblems and Heroes!

The Fire Emblem franchise belongs to Intelligent Systems. I only write this crossover for the fun, entertainment, and enjoyment of the readers.

Now, let us begin this chapter...


"Since the Heroes you summon and form contracts with cannot be truly killed. I would like you to summon my children, Alfred and Celine, as Heroes."

Queen Eve's request to summon her children, Alfred and Celine, as Heroes left Kiran, Alfonse, Sharena, Commander Anna, and even Veronica standing in silence for a moment.

Commander Anna broke the silence, addressing Queen Eve, "Summoning one's children as Heroes is a weighty decision. Being summoned as a Hero bears a great responsibility. If your children were to become Heroes, they would be obliged to defend both Elyos and Zenith."

Veronica nodded in agreement, adding, "And not only that, Queen Eve. Once summoned, your children will be bound to Kiran under a contract. They will become his allies, fighting alongside him in battle."

Queen Eve's voice carried determination as she spoke, "I insist, Kiran. I want you to summon my children, Alfred and Celine, as Heroes. I want to ensure their survival because I love them dearly, even if it means they will be bound under a contract to you and be obligated to defend both Elyos and Zenith."

Kiran paused for a moment, considering Queen Eve's request. "I understand your desire, Queen Eve, but the final choice ultimately rests with Alfred and Celine. It is their decision whether or not they wish to become Heroes."

"You are right, Kiran. I will leave the decision in the hands of my children. It is up to them to choose their path," Queen Eve nodded, accepting Kiran's point. "Thank you for least listening to my request"

As Queen Eve continued conversing with Kiran and the Order of Heroes on various topics, she still hope that they would consider her request, but she knew that the final choice would be up to her children.


Meanwhile, Alear, along with Alfred and Celine alongside their four retainers, were standing just outside the castle back door, and remarked, "It must be of great importance if Queen Eve wants to speak to Kiran and the Order of Heroes."

Alfred, the Crown Prince of Firene, nodding in agreement, replied to Alear, "Indeed, it seems like something significant is happening. We can approach Kiran himself or any of his summoned allies accompanying him for answers."

Before Alfred could finish his sentence, Celine, the Princess of Firene, interjected excitedly, "Look! I can see Kiran and the Order of Heroes coming out of the castle's back door right now!"

With eager anticipation, Alear, Alfred, and Celine watched as Kiran, Alfonse, Sharena, Commander Anna, and Veronica emerged, ready to face whatever awaited them.

Alear herself approached Kiran with a warm smile, greeting him. "Hello, Kiran. I couldn't help but notice Queen Eve's conversation with you and the Order of Heroes. Could you tell me what it was about?"

Kiran met her gaze and replied, "Queen Eve seemed genuinely curious about us, the Order of Heroes. She wanted to understand our purpose and how we operate."

Commander Anna, stepping forward, joined the conversation. "Alear, while we're on the topic, could you do us a favor? We need to gather any information we can find about Revival Stones. Nelucca was seen carrying one during the battle earlier, and we need to understand their significance."

Celine, standing beside Commander Anna, eagerly chimed in, "Yes, Alear! It's important to know more about Revival Stones. If more of the Fell Dragon's soldiers carry those stones, it may be best to find some information about them."

Alear nodded in understanding. "I'll do my best, Commander Anna and Celine. I'll search both Lythos Castle and Somniel's libraries for any information regarding Revival Stones. I'll gather any evidence I can find."

Then, Alear turned to Kiran, her voice filled with urgency. "Kiran, now that the Kingdom of Firene is saved for the time being, we need to return to Somniel. Please, use your Breidablik to transport all of us there."

"I remember that the Breidablik can open doors to places where its user has been," Alfonse muttered. "I'm curious as to what kind of place Somniel is."

"Oh, Alear! That sounds exciting!" Sharena, unable to contain her curiosity, interjected with a cheerful tone. "Could you tell us more about Somniel? What kind of place is it?"

Before Alear could muster a reply, Kiran, considering Sharena's question, replied, "Sharena, Alear will explain everything once we're transported to Somniel using the power of the Breidablik. It's a place full of wonders and mysteries, and I'm sure you'll find it fascinating."

Sharena simply nodded as everyone gathered around Kiran as he raised the Breidablik upwards and fired. In a flash of light, they left Firene Castle, satisfied that they managed to save it and its inhabitants from certain destruction that day.

Chapter 9: Interlude - A Visit to Zenith


"What to do..."

Alear sat in her room in Somniel, surrounded by a collection of books. She diligently flipped through the pages, searching for any information regarding the Revival Stones. It was a quiet night, and she was determined to uncover any references that could shed light on their powers.

As she immersed herself in her research, the door to her room creaked open, and Vander, one of her trusted Stewards, entered with a stack of books in his arms. He looked at Alear, curiosity evident in his eyes, and asked, "Divine One, may I ask why you're so eager to read all the books here in Somniel?"

Alear glanced up from her reading, a spark of determination in her gaze. "Vander, I am searching for any references to the Revival Stones. According to Commander Anna, Nelucce attempted to use one during our previous battle. I believe that understanding these stones and their capabilities is crucial to our mission."

Vander nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "I see. It's important to gather as much information as possible. If there's anything I can do to assist you in your search, please don't hesitate to ask."

Alear smiled appreciatively at Vander's offer. "Thank you, Vander. Your support is invaluable."

Vander glanced at Alear, concern etched on his face, and asked, "Lady Alear, would you like me to bring your dinner to your room? It seems like you're deeply engrossed in your research."

Alear looked up from her books, momentarily breaking her focus. She considered Vander's offer and nodded appreciatively. "Yes, Vander, that would be wonderful. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I don't want to interrupt my search for information."

With a nod, Vander turned to leave the room, his footsteps echoing softly as he made his way to the kitchen. Alear watched him go, grateful for his support and understanding. As he exited, she shifted her attention back to the books before her, determined to uncover any clues about the Revival Stones.

She knew that if someone like Nelucce had attempted to use these powerful artifacts, it was likely that their future adversaries would also seek to harness their mysterious abilities. Alear's brows furrowed as she delved deeper into the pages, her mind racing with thoughts of strategies and potential dangers.


Meanwhile, Kiran, Alfonse, Sharena, Commander Anna, and Veronica stayed for a bit in Somniel's living room. Food, drinks, and empty plates were on the table as the four of them converse on various topics.

"Fellas, have any of you remember the time when we faced a gold-colored woman clad in snakes?" Kiran asked them.

"Hmm... No, I don't remember us fighting some enemy like that," Alfonse shook his head.

"Nope, me neither. I wonder if it's a nightmare that you experienced, Kiran?" Sharena replied. "That's something like Triandra and Plumeria can create dreams and nightmares of... It's kind of scary if you think about it."

Kiran looked at Commander Anna and Veronica, and he became dismayed when both of them shook their heads. Then, Kiran heard the voice of Baldraz on his head.

'Summoner, it seems that your friends do not remember their encounter with the Golden Seer,' Baldraz replied in Kiran's mind. 'Someone or something must have tampered with their memories. It may be best to change the subject for the time being.'

As he let out a sigh, Kiran leaned back on the comfortable couch in the living room, his gaze shifting between his companions. He turned to Alfonse and asked, "Anyway, what are your thoughts? Do you, Sharena, Commander Anna, and Veronica want to return to Zenith tomorrow?"

Alfonse pondered for a moment, his brow furrowing in contemplation. "I believe it would be wise for the four of us to return to Zenith by tomorrow. We have been away for quite some time, and there are matters that require our attention."

Sharena, her eyes sparkling with excitement, interjected, "But Alfonse, we just arrived in Elyos! Spending a night on a floating island like Somniel is such a unique experience. Can't we enjoy it a little longer?"

Commander Anna leaned forward, her voice carrying a hint of amusement. "I must admit, Sharena, it is a tempting offer. Somniel is a fascinating place, and a night here would certainly be memorable. However, Alfonse raises a valid point. Our duties in Zenith await us."

Veronica, who had been quietly observing the conversation, spoke up with a soft sigh. "As much as I would love to explore more of Elyos, I understand the importance of returning to Zenith. We do have responsibilities to fulfill."

"Hmm, is that so..." Kiran pondered. "If all of you are here, then who is managing the Order of Heroes in your stead?"

"Oh, that's easy!" Sharena cheerfully answered. "Kiran, you do remember summoning our New Year and Spring selves, right?"

"Of course, New Year's Duo Alfonse & Sharena, New Year's Anna, Spring Alfonse, Spring Sharena..." Kiran pondered.

"Do not forget, you did send my Brave, Spring, and Day of Devotion selves when I returned to the Emblian Empire," Veronica pointed out to Kiran. "My alternate selves really helped out a lot in my royal duties as a princess."

Kiran closed his eyes and imagined Alfonse, Sharena, Commander Anna, and Veronica's alternate selves running the Order of Heroes and the Emblian Empire in their original counterpart's absence. That thought made Kiran shudder a bit, and Alfonse and Sharena let out a chuckle signaling the awkwardness of the situation.

"Alright, it seems we have a consensus then," Kiran opened his eyes and nodded thoughtfully, taking in the different perspectives."The four of you shall return to Zenith by tomorrow."

"What about you, Kiran?" Sharena asked. "Are you going to stay here until you help Alear save Elyos?"

"That's right. I promised Alear to help her save Elyos from Fell Dragon Sombron," Kiran replied. "After I helped save Elyos, I'll properly return to Zenith, although I can visit Zenith from time to time to summon new Heroes if need be."

"I figured you'd say that, Kiran," Alfonse smiled. "Just be careful out here, okay?"

"We're Heroes too, you know?" Sharena agreed. "You can always summon us on Elyos in a pinch!"

"You've grown into a fine tactician since you were brought to Zenith all those years ago," Commander Anna interjected. "Just... bring some treasures for the Order of Heroes' coffers, okay?"

Kiran, Alfonse, Sharena, and even Veronica blankly stared at Commander Anna. And then, Kiran just sighed, figuring that even if she's the Commander of the Order of Heroes, she is still an Anna, complete with love for money and material possessions.

"Oh, Kiran. We almost forgot to give these to you," Alfonse spoke as he, Sharena, and Commander Anna gave Kiran 10 Golden Summon Orbs.

"Wait, I know these are Summon Orbs, but they look and feel different," Kiran commented.

"Yeah, we found these summoning orbs when the Elyos Outrealm Gate manifested outside Askr Castle," Sharena explained.

"The Golden Summon Orb guarantees the summoning of a powerful Hero," Commander Anna explained. "Since you're the Summoner, I think you can use these if you truly want to summon a powerful Hero."

"Thank you for giving these summon orbs," Kiran smiled as he let the Breidablik absorb the 10 Golden Summon Orbs. "I can try to use at least one of them when I briefly return to Zenith to summon new Heroes."

"Nonetheless, as the Summoner, you now have two incredible responsibilities - to protect the worlds of Zenith and Elyos," Veronica pointed out. "Just so you know, you have Heroes like us to help ease the burden, even a little."

"Thank you... all of you," Kiran smiled. "You all just made my burden as a Summoner a bit easier to bear."

As the four of them, even Veronica herself, stared at each other after Kiran's speech, Sharena quickly decided to break the tension.

"Now that's settled, let's make the most of our time here in Somniel tonight!" Sharena cheerfully said aloud. "Who knows when we'll have the chance to visit again?"

The group laughed, their spirits lifted by Sharena's infectious enthusiasm. As they settled back into the living room, the night stretched before them, filled with anticipation and the promise of new adventures. They would make the most of their stay on the floating island, cherishing the memories they would create before embarking on their journey back to Zenith.


After settling down to sleep in his bedroom in Somniel for the night, Kiran found himself in the Realm of Alfheimr once again. Kiran's eyes wandered across the patchwork of Ljosalfheimr and Dokkalfheimr that now constitute the entirety of Alfheimr.

Then, Kiran's eyes fluttered open as he found himself once again in the ethereal realm of Alfheimr. He glanced around, taking in the dreamlike surroundings, when a familiar voice called out to him. "Kiran! It's so nice to see you again!"

He turned towards the source of the voice and smiled warmly. "Peony, the feeling is mutual. It's always a pleasure to be in your company."

As Kiran exchanged pleasantries with Peony, another figure approached, yawning softly. Mirabilis, with her gentle demeanor, joined the conversation. "Oh, Kiran, there are new mortals that have recently entered the Realm of Dreams. They seem to have found their way here."

Kiran's interest was piqued at the mention of new visitors. "New mortals? That's intriguing. Do we know anything about them?"

Mirabilis gently pointed towards the two figures lying on the ground, their eyes closed in peaceful slumber. Kiran's eyes widened with recognition as he realized their identities. "Alfred and Celine, the Crown Prince and Princess of Firene," he whispered, a mix of concern and curiosity filling his voice.

As he cautiously approached the sleeping forms, Kiran noticed Triandra, the enigmatic figure from the realm of Dökkálfheimr, approaching him. She spoke softly, her words laced with a hint of melancholy. "Alfred and Celine are currently caught in a tumultuous blend of dreams and nightmares."

Kiran turned to Triandra, his brow furrowed with curiosity. "Triandra, how is it possible for mortals to experience both dreams and nightmares simultaneously?"

Triandra's eyes held a hint of sadness as she responded. "It is a delicate balance, Kiran. Dreams and nightmares often intertwine, especially when mortals are plagued by inner conflicts and fears."

Peony, always the voice of optimism, chimed in with a gentle smile. "What Alfred and Celine are experiencing could be a form of anxiety. It's when worries and fears manifest in their dreams, creating a blend of both pleasant and unsettling experiences."

Kiran nodded, his understanding deepening. Anxiety was a common struggle among mortals, and it seemed that Alfred and Celine were not exempt from its grasp. He knew that to truly comprehend their state, he would have to speak with them directly.

Just as the thought crossed his mind, Plumeria gracefully flew in, her ethereal wings fluttering softly. She spoke with a touch of wisdom in her voice. "Kiran, to truly understand what Alfred and Celine are going through, you may need to have a conversation with them. Only they can shed light on the depths of their minds, as we can only observe their dreams."

Then, Peony's eyes widened with curiosity as she noticed the golden glow emanating from Kiran's Breidablik. "Kiran, what's happening? Why is your Breidablik glowing like that?"

Kiran smiled, his excitement evident in his voice. "It's because I've loaded my Breidablik with Golden Summon Orbs. These items guarantee the summoning of a powerful Hero."

Triandra, ever observant, joined the conversation. Her voice carried a note of intrigue as she spoke. "Kiran, if I may ask, would you consider summoning Lady Freyja? Her power could prove to be invaluable."

"We would be very grateful if you're able to summon Lady Freyja as a Hero," Plumeria added.

Peony's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she added, "And Kiran, can you summon Freyr as well? It would be amazing to have both siblings by our side."

"Yeah... yawn..." Mirabilis chimed in as she yawned. "It'd be nice... for both Dream-King Freyr and Lady Freyra to be brought back to life, even as Heroes."

Kiran nodded, his mind already racing with possibilities. The chance to summon such formidable Heroes would greatly enhance their chances in their upcoming battles. He gripped the Breidablik tightly, his determination evident.

"Just so you know, when I perform the summoning ritual, it's really up to them if they want to be summoned as a Hero," Kiran answered. "Nonetheless, I will do my best to summon both Lady Freyja and Dream-King Freyr."

When Kiran agreed to use the Golden Summon Orbs in attempting to summon Freyja and Freyr as Heroes, Peony, and Mirabilis beamed with gratitude as Kiran agreed to use the Golden Summon Orbs in an attempt to summon Freyja and Freyr as Heroes.

Peony clasped her hands together and thanked Kiran profusely. "Oh, Kiran, thank you so much! This means the world to us!"

Triandra, her usual stoic expression softened, let out a small smile. She mused aloud, her voice filled with a hint of admiration, "The alfar owe you a debt, Kiran. One that we can never, ever truly repay."

Plumeria, standing beside Triandra, nodded in agreement. She spoke softly, her voice carrying a sense of determination. "But one thing we can do is help you, Kiran, should you ever summon us back into the waking world. We will stand by your side and aid you in any way we can."

Triandra's smile widened as she looked at Plumeria. "Indeed. Our abilities may be limited within the realms of dreams, but together, we can be a formidable force to support you, Kiran."

Kiran felt a surge of gratitude wash over him as he listened to their words. The thought of having the alfar by his side, both in dreams and reality, filled him with reassurance and determination. He knew that with their combined strength and unwavering loyalty, they would be able to face any challenge that lay ahead.

With a renewed sense of purpose, Kiran nodded to his newfound allies. "Thank you, all of you. Your support means everything to me. Together, we will overcome any obstacles and ensure the safety of our realms."

As the group exchanged determined glances and shared a moment of unity, they knew that their alliance would be unbreakable. With the alfar's promise to aid Kiran in the waking world, their bond would extend beyond the realms of dreams, forging a powerful alliance rooted in friendship and shared purpose.


As Kiran Pathfinder woke up the next morning, feeling refreshed from a good night's sleep in his bedroom in Somniel. He decided to take a bath to freshen up, the warm water washing away any remnants of sleepiness. As he got dressed into his typical Askran Summoner uniform and stepped out of the bathroom, a knock at his door caught his attention.

Curiosity piqued, Kiran made his way to the front door and opened it, only to find Alfred and Celine standing on his doorstep. Surprise flashed across Kiran's face as he took in their unexpected presence.

Alfred, his voice tinged with urgency, spoke quickly as he tried to convince his sister. "Celine, I told you it's too early to visit Kiran. We shouldn't be bothering him at this hour."

Celine, unfazed by her brother's attempt to dissuade her, remarked with a playful smile, "Oh, come on, Alfred. It's too late now. Kiran himself is already awake."

"Good morning, Alfred and Celine," Kiran greeted the Firene siblings.

"Morning, Kiran," Alfred smiled. "Sorry to bother you at this time..."

"Good morning, Kiran!" Celine, her eyes sparkling with excitement, spoke up. "I think today is the perfect time for you and me to enjoy our morning tea and breakfast, just like you promised yesterday."

Kiran chuckled, a fond memory of their conversation coming to mind. He replied, his voice filled with amusement, "Ah, yes! I do remember that promise, Celine. Well, then, I suppose I'll have breakfast with both of you."

A wide smile spread across Alfred's face, mirroring the delight in Celine's eyes. The prospect of enjoying a morning meal together seemed to bring them joy. Alfred and Celine guided Kiran to Café Terrace, Somniel's dining hall.


Alear, Alfonse, Sharena, Commander Anna, and Veronica sat together at a table on Somniel's Café Terrace, enjoying their breakfast. As food and drinks were presented at their table, all five of them took their time to eat as they conversed about important topics.

"Thank you, Alear, for accommodating our stay in Somneil, and even allowing us to eat breakfast here," Alfonse, filled with gratitude, turned to Alear and expressed his thanks for allowing them to stay at Somniel and for providing them with breakfast.

"The honor is mine. Since you four are Kiran's closest friends and allies in Zenith, I feel that I should at least make your stay here comfortable," Alear smiled warmly and returned the sentiment with a nod of appreciation.

Sharena, her eyes brimming with enthusiasm, chimed in next. "Alear, you've been so kind to us. As a token of our appreciation, why don't you join us at the Aether Resort's Dining Hall? We'd love to have you as our guest."

Alear's eyes widened with surprise, touched by Sharena's gesture. She replied with a gracious smile, "That's very kind of you, Sharena. I would be honored to join you at the Aether Resort's Dining Hall. Thank you for the invitation."

"To be honest, the one who will ultimately decide if you can visit Zenith at all is Kiran himself," Veronica stoically spoke to Alear. "Since you're the first person who befriended Kiran here in Elyos, your chances of being invited to briefly visit Zenith are actually quite high."

Then, Commander Anna leaned forward, her eyes focused on Alear. "Alear, did you manage to find any information about Revival Stones?"

Alear nodded, her brow furrowing slightly as she recalled the knowledge she had acquired. "Yes, Commander Anna. I did come across some information about Revival Stones in the books I read last night."

Curiosity sparked in the eyes of Commander Anna, Alfonse, Sharena, and Veronica as they eagerly awaited Alear's explanation. Alear took a moment to gather her thoughts before continuing.

"Revival Stones, as their name suggests, have the power to bring someone back to life when they are on the brink of death," Alear explained. "However, there is a catch. When a Revival Stone is used, it shatters, sacrificing itself in the process."

Commander Anna leaned in closer to Alear, her expression serious. "Alear, during our battle against Nelucce, my attacks managed to shatter his Revival Stone without the stone activating itself."

Alear's eyes widened in surprise, her voice filled with disbelief. "How is that possible? I thought Revival Stones were supposed to be indestructible until it's used."

Sharena, unable to contain her thoughts, chimed in with a theory of her own. "Well, maybe it's because we, Alfonse, Commander Anna, and Veronica, are Heroes. Perhaps our attacks have the power to nullify the effects of Revival Stones."

Silence fell over the table as everyone turned to look at Sharena. Her words hung in the air, their implications sinking in. If Sharena's theory was correct, it meant that their very existence as Heroes had the potential to disrupt the powerful magic of the Revival Stones.

Alfonse rubbed his chin thoughtfully before speaking up, his voice filled with realization. "You know, now that I think about it, Sharena's theory does make some sense. After all, we Heroes are summoned under a contract with Kiran himself."

Veronica, her expression pensive, added to the conversation. "Perhaps it's those Hero contracts that nullify the effects of the Revival Stones. It would explain why our attacks can shatter them."

Alear nodded in agreement, her mind swirling with possibilities. She muttered to herself, contemplating their theories and connecting the dots. The idea that the contracts between Heroes and Kiran held the key to their unique abilities and interactions with powerful artifacts like Revival Stones sparked her curiosity.

As the five of them sat together, their attention momentarily diverted as they watched Kiran being escorted by Alfred and Celine to a table in the distance. Alfonse's curiosity got the better of him as he voiced his question. "Why do you think Alfred and Celine are escorting Kiran over there?"

Alear spoke up, offering her insight into the situation. "I think it's because Celine has been wanting to have tea with Kiran ever since she witnessed him summoning Heroes right before her eyes."

Sharena, her eyes sparkling with optimism, chimed in with her thoughts. "I believe Kiran will have a wonderful time with Alfred and Celine. They seem like a great company."

The rest of the group nodded in agreement, their expressions filled with anticipation and happiness for Kiran. As they continued their conversation, their gazes occasionally flickered over to the faraway table, where Kiran was now engrossed in conversation with Alfred and Celine. They couldn't help but feel a sense of joy, knowing that Kiran was in good hands and that new friendships were being forged.


On a faraway table in Café Terrace, Kiran, Alfred, and Celine settled themselves at a table, ready to enjoy their tea and breakfast.

Alfred, ever the attentive host, spoke up first. "I'll go to the counter and get our tea and breakfast. In the meantime, why don't you two have a chat and get to know each other better?"

Kiran and Celine exchanged a smile and nodded in agreement. As Alfred approached the counter, they turned their attention to each other.

"I'm truly grateful to you, Kiran. Your help in saving Elyos means a lot to Alear and me," Celine's gratitude shone through her words as she expressed her appreciation to Kiran. "You are too kind to everyone you meet, even when the first time we met..."

"Is that so?" Kiran replied.

Celine turned to Kiran, her eyes filled with awe and curiosity. "I always believed I had seen everything that Emblems could do. After all, they are echoes of those who fought to save their homes in other worlds. But when you appeared, Kiran, with your ability to summon Heroes in physical form, it changed everything."

Kiran nodded, understanding the wonder in Celine's words. "Emblems and Heroes do share some similarities. Both are summoned by their wielders, whether it's through their respective Emblem Ring or from my Breidablik."

Celine looked at Kiran, her expression serious yet filled with understanding. "I think you're missing the point, Kiran. Emblems are incorporeal spirits that embody the likeness of the people they represent, but they are not the same as those individuals themselves."

"What you can do, summoning people in physical form as Heroes is something that no Emblem Ring can ever achieve, Celine continued, her voice gentle yet firm. "It's a unique ability you possess, and you should cherish it."

Kiran listened attentively, taking in Celine's words. He understood the distinction she was making. The power of summoning Heroes went beyond mere representation; it brought forth living, breathing individuals with their thoughts, emotions, and stories.

A grateful smile formed on Kiran's lips as he replied, acknowledging Celine's wisdom. "You're right, Celine. I do cherish the ability to summon Heroes. It's a privilege to stand alongside them, to witness their courage and strength firsthand."

Celine nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with appreciation for Kiran's understanding. In that moment, they shared a mutual respect's abilities and their unique roles in their respective worlds.

Alfred approached the table, a tray balanced carefully in his hands, bearing three plates of delicious-looking food along with three cups full of tea, which made Celine smile. He settled back into his seat, joining Kiran and Celine, and placed the tray in the center of the table.

"Here we go," Alfred said with a smile, distributing the plates to each of them. "I hope you both enjoy the food."

As they began to eat their food and drank their tea, Alfred's curiosity got the better of him. He turned to Kiran and Celine, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. "So, what did I miss during your conversation?"

Kiran took a moment to swallow a bite of his meal before responding. "We were discussing Emblems and Heroes. Celine was explaining the nature of Emblems and how they differ from the Heroes I summon."

Alfred's interest piqued, and he leaned in, eager to hear more. "Fascinating! I've always been intrigued by the unique abilities and origins of both Emblems and Heroes. It's a subject that never fails to captivate me."

As the three continued eating their breakfast, Kiran's mind suddenly recalled Queen Eve's request, her words echoing in his thoughts. Summoning her children, Alfred and Celine, as Heroes. He felt a sense of duty to share this revelation with them, to be transparent about their mother's wishes.

Taking a deep breath, Kiran looked at Alfred and Celine, their eyes locked in anticipation. "There's something I need to tell you both," he began, his voice steady yet filled with a mixture of trepidation and determination. "Queen Eve, your mother, requested that I summon you both as Heroes."

Alfred and Celine fell silent, their expressions shifting between surprise, curiosity, and contemplation. They took a moment, allowing Kiran's words to sink in, comprehending the weight of what he had just revealed.

The air around them seemed to hold its breath as Alfred and Celine processed the information. Their thoughts spun, contemplating the implications of being summoned as Heroes, and the potential responsibilities and challenges that awaited them.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Alfred broke the silence. "Summoned as Heroes... by our mother?" His voice held a mix of disbelief and wonder as if he couldn't quite grasp the concept.

Celine nodded slowly, her gaze focused and thoughtful. "It's a lot to take in, but if our mother sees value in this request, we should consider what it means for us and our journey."

Celine's curiosity got the better of her, and she turned to Kiran, her eyes filled with genuine interest. "Kiran, can you tell us what a Hero truly is?"

Kiran nodded, understanding the importance of clarifying their roles and the significance of the term. "A Hero is a person from a world that possesses its own Fire Emblem," he explained, his voice steady and filled with knowledge.

Alfred and Celine exchanged glances, their brows furrowing in contemplation. Almost in unison, they muttered the words "Fire Emblem," the significance of the phrase sinking in.

Kiran continued, elaborating on his role as a Summoner and the connection he formed with the Heroes he summoned. "As a Summoner, I can call forth these Heroes from different worlds. When I summon them, we form contracts, forging a bond that allows us to fight together and share our strengths."

Alfred's curiosity got the better of him, and he turned to Kiran, his eyes wide with intrigue. "Kiran, do you use the Breidablik to summon Heroes?"

Kiran nodded, confirming Alfred's inquiry. "Yes, the Breidablik is the tool I use to summon Heroes from different worlds."

Alfred exchanged a glance with Celine, their curiosity piqued by the mention of this mystical artifact. They had heard tales of its power but had never seen it firsthand.

Kiran noticed their intrigue and decided to shed some light on the nature of the Heroes he summoned. "When I summon Heroes and form contracts with them, they cannot be truly killed in battle."

Alfred and Celine's eyes widened in shock, their jaws dropping in disbelief. The notion that the Heroes they fought alongside possessed an invincibility of sorts was both remarkable and bewildering.

Celine found her voice first, her tone tinged with awe. "So, what you're saying is that no matter how dire the situation, the Heroes cannot meet their end in battle?"

Kiran nodded, his expression serious yet filled with a glimmer of pride. "That's correct. It's one of the unique aspects of the summoning process. It ensures that the Heroes can fight with all their might, knowing that their lives are not at risk."

Alfred and Celine exchanged a glance, their minds racing with the implications of this revelation. They realized that the Heroes they fought alongside were not burdened by the fear of death, allowing them to channel their full strength into protecting their worlds.

Celine's curiosity peaked once again, and she turned to Kiran, her eyes shining with wonder. "Kiran, when you summon a Hero, at what point in time do they come from? Are they plucked from their world's past or future?"

Kiran fixed his gaze on Celine, his voice filled with certainty as he responded to her question. "The Heroes I summon can come from various points in time. It doesn't matter if they are from the past or future, or even if they are alive or dead in their home world. As long as they heed my summons, they will be brought forth."

"I see..." Alfred muttered as he absorbed this information, his mind processing the implications.

Celine closed her eyes, a sigh escaping her lips. The weight of the knowledge settled upon her, the enormity of the responsibility they all bore in summoning these time-displaced Heroes becoming more apparent.

Celine's gaze locked onto Alfred, her eyes filled with a mixture of concern and determination. In response, Alfred nodded back at her, silently acknowledging her unspoken request for support.

Taking a deep breath, Celine turned to Kiran, her voice steady yet tinged with a hint of vulnerability. "Kiran, there's something that we need to reveal to you."

Kiran's attention was fully focused on Celine, his eyes mirroring her seriousness. He nodded, silently urging her to continue.

Alfred, mustering his resolve, stepped forward. "I've been keeping this to myself, but I am suffering from a terminal illness."

Kiran's eyes widened in shock, the weight of Alfred's revelation hitting him with a wave of unexpected emotions. "I... I had no idea, Alfred," he stammered, his voice filled with genuine concern.

Alfred offered a small smile, his demeanor surprisingly resilient. "It's okay, Kiran. I've been managing to stave off the illness so far through training and taking care of myself."

Celine's voice trembled with a mix of concern and determination as she turned to Alfred. "Alfred, your training can only stave off your illness for so long," she said, her tone filled with a hint of sadness.

Alfred's eyes met Celine's, understanding the gravity of her words. He took a deep breath, his expression reflecting a mix of acceptance and determination.

Celine then shifted her attention to Kiran, her voice filled with emotion. "I know that we all have our time, and death is inevitable," she began, her voice quivering slightly. "But I feel it's too soon for my brother, or even my mother, to face that fate."

Kiran listened attentively, his gaze filled with empathy and understanding. He knew the weight of Celine's words, the fear and pain that came with the potential loss of loved ones.

Celine's eyes glistened with unshed tears, her voice filled with resolve. "If the Heroes summoned and contracted under you cannot be killed in battle, then I... I would agree to my mother's wishes," she said, her voice steady despite the emotions that swirled within her.

Kiran looked at Alfred, a glimmer of hope shining in his eyes. "Alfred, I can summon both you and Celine as Heroes for a time," he said, his voice filled with sincerity. "And when the time comes, if both of you feel that you want to sever your Hero contracts, I would be more than happy to oblige."

Alfred closed his eyes briefly, allowing Kiran's words to sink in. After a moment of contemplation, he opened his eyes, determination etched on his face. "I agree with my sister," he said, his voice resolute. "Please, Kiran, you have our permission to summon both of us as Heroes."

Celine's face lit up with a smile, gratitude shining in her eyes. She turned to Kiran, her voice filled with appreciation. "Thank you, Kiran. Your willingness to summon us as Heroes gives us a chance to protect our loved ones and make a difference, not just in Elyos, but in your world of Zenith as well. We are truly grateful."

In that moment, a sense of unity and determination enveloped the trio. They knew that their decision would come with sacrifices and challenges, but they also realized the strength and love that bound them together.

Kiran nodded, a sense of purpose guiding his actions. "I will do my best to summon you both as Heroes," he said, his voice filled with determination. "To do that, I'll invite you two along with Alear to Zenith today because the Hero summoning ritual can only be performed there."

Just as Kiran finished speaking, a group of familiar faces approached their table. Alear, Alfonse, Sharena, Commander Anna, and Veronica stood before them, curiosity evident on their faces. Alear was the first to speak, addressing Kiran. "I heard my name mentioned. What's going on?"

"I think we'll explain that shortly," Kiran replied. "Fellas, it seems you five have finished breakfast already."

"So, it seems, Kiran," Alfonse turned to Kiran, his voice filled with anticipation. "Are you ready to visit Zenith today?"

Kiran met Alfonse's gaze, a determined nod escaping his lips. "Yes, I am," he replied, his voice tinged with resolve.

Alear's voice broke the silence, her words filled with determination. "If that's the case, we need to find a safe place here in Somniel where we can travel to Zenith. But the question is, where?"

Baldraz, who had been quietly listening, spoke up in Kiran's mindscape. 'I suggest we head to Somniel Plaza,' he suggested, his voice confident. 'That area has enough space for an Outrealm Gate to manifest.'

Kiran nodded, his mind processing the information. It seemed like a viable plan. Turning to everyone present, he spoke with conviction. "Let's go to Somniel Plaza," he declared, his voice carrying authority.

"That's a great idea, Kiran," Alear smiled. "We should go to the Plaza right away."

With their hearts filled with determination, the group set off toward Somniel Plaza, their footsteps echoing with a sense of anticipation.


After a few minutes, Alear, Kiran, Alfonse, Sharena, Commander Anna, and Veronica traveled to the Plaza, an area located in the center of Somniel that has several shops like an Armory, Smithy, Boutique, a Flea Market, and even an Item Shop.

As the group of eight made their way to Somniel Plaza, Sharena's eyes widened with wonder. She gazed at the various shops that lined the plaza, taking in the bustling atmosphere with awe.

"Look at the shops around the plaza!" Sharena exclaimed. "This is awesome!"

"Why, thank you, Princess Sharena," Alear smiled. "My three Stewards managed to recruit several shopkeepers from all over Elyos. They'll be opening their shops within the next few days."

Commander Anna, always business-minded, couldn't help but muse aloud. "If I can convince some of these shop owners to invest in the Askr Branch of the Ylisse Division of Anna & Co, we could expand our operations," she said, her eyes gleaming with ambition.

Alfonse, however, interjected, his voice calm yet firm. "We can discuss that later, Commander Anna," he said, his gaze steady. "Right now, our priority is to focus on our mission and return to Zenith."

Commander Anna's expression turned into a pout, her disappointment evident. She crossed her arms, clearly not pleased with Alfonse's response. The playful banter between the two showcased their distinct personalities and the occasional clash of priorities.

Baldraz's voice echoed within Kiran's mind, guiding him with his words. "Kiran, the spot in the center of the Plaza is the right place to manifest the Outrealm Gate that will connect Elyos to Zenith," he said, his voice resolute.

Kiran's eyes focused on the spot Baldraz mentioned, a sense of certainty washing over him. He pointed towards that very spot, directing everyone's attention. Alear and the rest of their allies turned their gaze towards Kiran, curiosity gleaming in their eyes.

Alear couldn't help but voice her question, her voice filled with intrigue. "Is that the spot you're referring to, Kiran?" she asked, her eyes searching for confirmation.

Kiran met Alear's gaze, a confident nod escaping his lips. "Yes, Alear," he replied, his voice filled with conviction.

Then, Kiran turned to Alfonse, curiosity evident in his eyes. "Alfonse, when I summoned you, Sharena, Commander Anna, and Veronica back in Firene, did you all come through an Outrealm Gate?" he asked, seeking confirmation.

Alfonse nodded, his voice steady. "Yes, Kiran. We did use an Outrealm Gate to travel here," he replied, his tone filled with certainty.

Kiran's mind raced with possibilities as he absorbed this information. He realized that the central spot in the Plaza held the key to their mission. With a newfound sense of purpose, he began to explain his plan.

"The central spot in the Plaza is the right place," Kiran started, his voice brimming with determination. "Using the power of the Breidablik, I can manifest the Outrealm Gate that will connect Elyos and Zenith."

Alear, listening intently, stepped forward. She looked directly at Kiran, her voice filled with conviction. "Kiran, on behalf of Elyos, I grant you permission to bring forth the Outrealm Gate to Zenith at that spot," she said, her words carrying the weight of her authority.

Kiran turned to Alear, gratitude shining in his eyes. "Thank you, Alear, for granting me permission to use the central spot in the Plaza to manifest an Outrealm Gate," he expressed, his voice filled with appreciation.

Alfred, observing the exchange, spoke up, a warm smile on his face. "You know, Kiran, Alear considers you a close friend," he remarked, his tone gentle.

Celine, always quick to add her thoughts, chimed in with enthusiasm. "Having an Outrealm Gate right here in the Plaza is incredibly convenient for traveling between Elyos and Zenith," she commented, her voice brimming with excitement.

Both Alear and Kiran nodded in agreement, recognizing the value of this newfound connection. The ease of travel between their worlds would prove essential in their upcoming quest.

With a determined grip, Kiran reached for the Breidablik, its power pulsating in their hand. They aimed it unerringly at the central spot of the Plaza, the designated location for manifesting the Outrealm Gate.

Addressing Alfonse and Veronica, Kiran made a request, their voice filled with urgency. "Alfonse, Veronica, I need your help. Channel your connections to Askr and Embla, respectively, and lend me your strength to manifest the Outrealm gate," they said, their tone resolute.

Alfonse, gripping his Fólkvangr sword tightly, nodded in understanding. "Of course, Kiran. I will channel my energy through my sword," he affirmed, his voice steady.

Veronica, her eyes shining with determination, held her Enclosing Dark tome close to her chest. "I will channel my energy through the power of my tome," she declared, her voice filled with conviction.

The air tingled with anticipation as Alfonse and Veronica focused their energies, intertwining their connections to Askr and Embla with Kiran's power. The trio formed a powerful conduit, their combined strength flowing through the Breidablik.

"Gathering wishes to manifest an Outrealm Gate that binds two worlds together! Become the path that light shines upon!" Kiran chanted, their voice resonating with power and determination. "Zenith Outrealm Gate, manifest yourself in front of us!"

With unwavering focus, Kiran pulled the trigger on their Breidablik, releasing a brilliant beam of light towards the central spot of the Plaza. The divine powers of Askr and Embla channeled through Alfonse's sword and Veronica's tome, surged forth, merging with the energy of the Breidablik.

As the beam of divine power landed on the designated spot, the air crackled with newfound energy. The atmosphere shimmered and twisted, as the manifestation of the Outrealm Gate began to take shape before their very eyes.

The swirling vortex expanded rapidly, its ethereal glow casting a radiant light upon the surrounding area. The energies of the two worlds intertwined, creating a bridge that would allow the group to traverse the realms.

Excitement and anticipation filled the hearts of Kiran, Alfonse, Veronica, Commander Anna, Alear, Alfred, and Celine. The moment they had been working towards had arrived, the gateway to Zenith now open before them.

With the Outrealm Gate fully formed, the possibilities became endless. It was a testament to their combined efforts, and their unwavering determination to protect their worlds and face the challenges that awaited them.

Kiran's gaze lingered on the humming Zenith Outrealm Gate, their voice filled with a mixture of concern and practicality. "Alfred, Celine, do you think it's alright for us to leave the four of your retainers here in Somniel for the time being?" He asked, seeking his companions' input.

Alfred nodded, a reassuring smile on his face. "Yes, Kiran. We've already instructed our retainers to take a break and relax here in Somniel for today," he replied, his tone indicating his confidence in their decision.

Celine chimed in, her voice laced with a sense of urgency. "We're quite pressed for time already, especially now that the Zenith Outrealm Gate is open," she added, emphasizing the need to move forward swiftly.

Kiran nodded in agreement, understanding the necessity of Celine's remark. "You're right, Celine. We can't afford to delay any longer. It's time to visit Zenith for today, shall we?" He affirmed, his voice filled with determination.

With their minds made up, Alear, Kiran, Alfonse, Sharena, Commander Anna, Veronica, Alfred, and Celine gathered at the threshold of the Outrealm Gate, anticipation coursing through their veins. The pulsating energy of the gate beckoned them forward, promising adventure and challenges in equal measure.

As one, they took their first steps into the swirling portal, leaving behind the familiar realm of Elyos temporarily and venturing into the world of Zenith. For Alear, Alfred, and Celine, this will be their first time stepping foot into another world, with Alear hoping that she'll meet with Lumera in the Kingdom of Askr today.


The Elyos Outrealm Gate hummed with energy, its radiant glow filling the air. In a sudden burst of brilliance, Alear, Kiran, Alfonse, Sharena, Commander Anna, Veronica, Alfred, and Celine emerged from the gate, their arrival marking their return to Zenith.

Alear surveyed their surroundings, her voice carrying a hint of awe as she spoke. "This is the World of Zenith," she declared, her words echoing through the air.

Kiran, standing beside her, nodded in agreement, his gaze taking in the unfamiliar landscape. "Yes, Alear, we have indeed arrived in Zenith," he affirmed with his voice filled with a mix of anticipation and determination.

Veronica, her expression tinged with a sense of duty, spoke up, her voice resolute. "I must return to the Emblian Empire," she stated, her words carrying the weight of responsibility.

Sharena, ever the supportive ally, offered her assistance. "Veronica, allow me, Alfonse, and Commander Anna to accompany you on your journey back to the Askr-Emblian border at the least," she proposed, her voice filled with sincerity.

Veronica considered Sharena's offer for a moment before nodding. "Very well, Sharena. I accept your offer," she agreed, acknowledging the kindness and understanding in Sharena's gesture.

"Don't worry, Kiran. We'll be back at Askr Castle after we escort Princess Veronica," Commander Anna said to Kiran.

"In the meantime, why don't you show Alear, Alfred, and Celine around the Kingdom of Askr?" Alfonse suggested.

"That's a great idea," Kiran replied. "You three take care in escorting Veronica."

Thus, Alfonse, Sharena, and Commander Anna escorted Veronica on her journey home to the Emblian Empire, leaving Alear, Kiran, Alfred, and Celine as they watched Alfonse, Sharena, Commander Anna, and Veronica travel to the Askr-Emblian border.

Alfred, observing the vast expanse above them, spoke up, his tone filled with observation. "The skies of Elyos and Zenith, they look surprisingly similar, don't you think?" he remarked, his words laced with a sense of wonder.

Celine, a smile gracing her lips, turned towards Kiran, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Kiran, could we have tea together in Zenith as well?" she requested, her voice filled with warmth and excitement.

Kiran, recalling his earlier meal with Alfred and Celine, responded with a gentle chuckle. "Celine, we just had breakfast not too long ago," He replied with a playful tone in his voice.

Alear, ever the observant one, interjected with curiosity. "Kiran, I couldn't help but overhear. What were you and Alfred discussing with Celine during breakfast?" she inquired, her voice betraying a mix of interest and intrigue.

"Well, Queen Eve requested me to summon her children, Alfred and Celine, as Heroes," Kiran explained.

Alear, her understanding evident, nodded in acknowledgment. "Yes, Kiran, I recall that you possess the power to summon Heroes, regardless of their current state of existence," she replied, her voice reflecting her familiarity with Kiran's abilities.

Kiran's focus shifted to Alfred and Celine, his gaze attentive. "Alfred, Celine, would you both be willing to accompany me to the Summoning Stone now?" he inquired, his tone inviting.

Alfred, a determined expression on his face, nodded in agreement. "Yes, Kiran, we are ready," he affirmed, his voice filled with conviction.

Celine, her eyes shining with anticipation, mirrored Alfred's sentiment. "Count me in, Kiran. I'm eager to see how this will unfold," she expressed, her voice brimming with excitement.

"I want to accompany you three as well," Alear agreed. "I want to see you summon new Heroes, Kiran."

And thus, Alear, Kiran, Alfred, and Celine went to the Summoning Stone. As the group traveled there together, Kiran glanced at his Breidablik as it glowed in a soft, yellowish light. Kiran had a good feeling about the Heroes he was about to summon today.


Alear, Kiran, Alfred, and Celine approached the Summoning Stone, their eyes drawn to the symbol of Yggdrasil etched upon its surface. Alear, her voice filled with curiosity, remarked upon the presence of the symbol. "The Summoning Stone bears the symbol of Yggdrasil," she observed, her words tinged with awe and fascination.

Kiran, a smile gracing his lips, nodded in agreement. "Indeed, Alear. Yggdrasil plays a crucial role in the summoning process," he explained, his voice carrying a hint of pride in his understanding of the arcane arts.

Alfred, a hint of eagerness in his voice, turned to Kiran, seeking guidance. "Kiran, could you enlighten us on how to summon both myself and Celine as Heroes?" he inquired, his tone reflecting his readiness to embark on this extraordinary journey.

Kiran, his voice calm and assured, proceeded to explain the summoning process to Alfred and Celine. "To summon both of you as Heroes, all you need to do is stand in front of the Summoning Stone," he began, his words carrying a sense of simplicity.

He continued, his gaze focused on his companions. "Once you are in position, I will use my Breidablik to fire upon you, channeling the summoning energy," he explained, his voice resonating with confidence.

Celine, her tone filled with understanding, interjected. "So, it's a straightforward process," she remarked, her words reflecting her comprehension of the task at hand.

In Kiran's mind, Baldraz, a trusted advisor, spoke, offering his insight. 'To maximize the chances of summoning Alfred and Celine as Heroes, you must use the Golden Summon Orbs,' he suggested with his words echoing in Kiran's thoughts.

Kiran mentally acknowledged Baldraz's advice, agreeing with his assessment. With a resolute nod, he responded to Baldraz. 'You're right, Baldraz. Using the Golden Summon Orbs will increase our chances,' Kiran acknowledged, his thoughts aligning with Baldraz's wisdom.

Then, Kiran, his voice filled with anticipation, turned his attention towards Alfred. "Alfred, would you like to go first?" he inquired, his tone reflecting the excitement of the moment.

Alfred, his eyes shining with enthusiasm, nodded eagerly. "Absolutely! I'm ready," he responded, his voice brimming with confidence and determination.

As Alfred positioned himself in front of the Summoning Stone, Celine and Alear both fixed their gazes upon him, their eyes filled with anticipation. Alear, having witnessed Kiran summon Lumera after her Grand Hero Battle, felt a sense of familiarity and curiosity. This would be the second time she would witness Kiran summoning a new Hero, and she couldn't help but be captivated by the process.

Celine, on the other hand, felt a tinge of nervousness as she watched Alfred voluntarily step forward to be summoned first. The possibility of the unknown loomed before them, and the weight of what it meant to become a Hero was not lost on her.

Kiran, following Baldraz's guidance, carefully loaded his Breidablik with a single Golden Summon Orb. With purposeful intent, he aimed the artifact at Alfred, his eyes focused on the task at hand. In one swift motion, he released the summoning energy, the Golden Summoned Orb igniting in a burst of power.

Alfred, feeling the surge of energy, closed his eyes, willingly surrendering himself to the summoning process. As the golden glow enveloped his entire being, he could sense the transformation taking place within him. The anticipation and excitement mingled with a tinge of nervousness, but Alfred remained steadfast, trusting in the process unfolding around him.

With the room filled with an air of anticipation, Kiran's voice resonated through the chamber, his words ringing out with a touch of ancient magic. "Gathering wishes to call upon a flowery prince whose life hangs in the balance! Become the path its light shines upon!" he chanted, the incantation carrying the weight of his intent.

Alear and Celine, watching in awe, stood witness to the summoning process in action. Their eyes widened as Alfred's body was engulfed in a brilliant white light, radiating with an otherworldly glow. The energy surrounding him seemed to dance and shimmer as if reflecting the very essence of his newfound Heroic destiny.

As the radiant glow surrounding Alfred's body gradually faded, Kiran, his voice filled with pride and reverence, spoke with unwavering conviction. "Hero Summon! I christen you as a Hero, Alfred, Floral Protector!" he proclaimed, his words resonating with the weight of the summoning process.

Alfred, his eyes now open and ablaze with determination, took a step forward. With his newfound identity revealed, he proudly declared his true name. "I am Alfred, the Crown Prince of Firine," he announced, his voice carrying a regal tone filled with purpose, loyalty, and dedication. "I swear to protect Elyos and Zenith with all of my might."

Alear and Celine stood in awe, their eyes wide with disbelief and wonder as they witnessed Kiran successfully summon Alfred as a Hero. The realization of the moment washed over them, filling their hearts with a mix of joy and admiration.

Overwhelmed by emotion, Celine's eyes welled up with tears as she couldn't contain her happiness. She rushed towards Alfred, wrapping her arms around him in a tight embrace. Her voice, filled with genuine excitement, trembled as she spoke. "You're a Hero now, Alfred!" she exclaimed, her words carrying a sense of pride and affection.

Alfred, returning the heartfelt hug, held his sister close, feeling a surge of warmth and gratitude. With a smile on his face, he responded to Celine's words. "Now that I'm a Hero, I think it's your turn to be summoned by Kiran himself," he suggested, his voice reflecting a sense of fairness and eagerness.

Alear, observing the tender moment between siblings, couldn't help but smile as she was touched by their bond and camaraderie. The summoning had not only brought forth a new Hero, but it had also strengthened the connection between Alfred and Celine, reinforcing their shared destiny in this extraordinary journey.

After Alfred gracefully stepped down from the Summoning Stone, Celine eagerly took his place, her eyes shining with determination as she stood before the ancient artifact. With a deep breath, she turned to face Kiran, gratitude evident in her voice as she spoke. "Thank you, Kiran. You summoned Alfred as a Hero, and now I want to return the favor," she expressed, her words filled with sincerity and appreciation.

Celine's gaze met Kiran's, her intent clear as she made her request. "Please, Kiran. I ask that you summon me as a Hero," she pleaded, her voice carrying a mix of excitement and trust.

Kiran, understanding the significance of Celine's request, responded with a resolute tone. "I will summon you as a Hero, Celine," he assured her, the weight of his promise to Queen Eve echoing in his words. The responsibility of bringing forth Heroes weighed heavily upon him, but he knew that this was a crucial step in their shared journey.

Kiran, determined and focused, swiftly loaded another Golden Summon Orb into his Breidablik. With unwavering aim, he directed the artifact towards Celine, his eyes never wavering from his target. In one fluid motion, he released the summoning energy, the Golden Summon Orb igniting and propelling towards its intended recipient.

Celine, anticipating the surge of power, closed her eyes, surrendering herself to the summoning process. As the golden glow enveloped her entire being, she felt a familiar sensation wash over her, similar to what Alfred had experienced. The warmth and energy of the summoning coursed through her, filling her with a sense of purpose and destiny.

Kiran's voice, resonating with ancient magic, filled the chamber as he chanted the summoning incantation. "Gathering wishes to call upon the Princess of Firene whose heart is in the right place! Become the path its light shines upon!" he intoned, his words carrying a weight of recognition and honor.

Alear and Alfred, standing side by side, watched in silent awe as Celine's body became engulfed in a soft, white light. The room seemed to hold its breath, captivated by the spectacle unfolding before them. The gentle radiance emanating from Celine filled the space, casting a serene glow upon her features.

As the radiant glow surrounding Celine's body gradually faded, Kiran, his voice filled with reverence and determination, spoke with unwavering conviction. "Hero Summon! I swear you in as a Hero, Celine, Joyous Royal!" he proclaimed, his words carrying the weight of the summoning process.

Celine, her eyes now open and ablaze with purpose, took a step forward. With a regal air about her, she proudly declared her true name. "I am Celine, the Princess of Firene," She announced, her voice filled with determination and a sense of responsibility. "In the fight for peace for Elyos and Zenith, I will bring to bear all the luck and strength I am able."

As Celine gracefully stepped out of the Summoning Stone, she wasted no time in embracing Alfred once again, their bond as siblings and now fellow Heroes evident in their tight embrace. With a smile on her face, she spoke with a mix of excitement and gratitude. "We did it, Alfred! We're both Heroes now, and Kiran has fulfilled our mother's request," she expressed, her voice filled with pride and joy.

Kiran, acknowledging the significance of their achievement, spoke with a sense of fulfillment. "Indeed, with both of you being Heroes, Queen Eve's request has been fulfilled," he agreed, his words carrying a weight of accomplishment and dedication.

Turning his attention to Alear, Kiran's gaze met hers as he spoke, offering her the same opportunity. "And Alear, if you wish, you too can be summoned as a Hero," he proposed, his voice filled with a sense of inclusivity and support.

Kiran still remembered that Alear was unknowingly treated as a Hero during Lumera's Grand Hero Battle. Kiran hoped that Alear would consider his offer and allow herself to be summoned as a Hero, as it was in the case of Alfred and Celine, but he also respected Alear's boundaries if she declined, just in case.

As Kiran half-expected, Alear hesitated, her eyes filled with uncertainty as she mustered the courage to speak her thoughts. Turning to Kiran, she explained with a hint of vulnerability in her voice, "I...I don't think I'm ready to be summoned as a Hero just yet," she confessed, her words carrying a sense of self-awareness and honesty.

Kiran, his eyes filled with understanding, closed them briefly, taking a moment to process Alear's words. With a nod, he opened his eyes and spoke gently, his voice filled with empathy. "That's understandable, Alear," he acknowledged, his words laced with reassurance. "Whenever you feel ready, you can just ask me," he offered, his voice reflecting a sense of patience and support.

Grateful for Kiran's understanding, Alear mustered a smile and spoke with gratitude. "Thank you, Kiran," she expressed sincerely, her words carrying a sense of relief and appreciation. She felt a weight lifted off her shoulders, knowing that her decision to wait until she felt prepared was respected and accepted.

Alfred, sensing the hesitation and uncertainty in the air, took a step forward, his voice filled with optimism. "Come on, Kiran, Alear, cheer up," he encouraged, his words carrying a sense of hope and reassurance. "I believe the time will come for Alear herself to be summoned as a Hero," he asserted, his voice resonating with faith and confidence.

Celine, standing beside Alfred, nodded in agreement, her eyes shining with determination. "Alfred is right. We have to stay positive and trust that Alear's moment will come," she chimed in, her voice filled with unwavering support for their friend.

Feeling the weight of their concerns, Alear found solace in their words, a small smile forming on her lips. She appreciated their unwavering faith in her potential as a Hero.

Seeking to shift the focus onto their newfound roles as Heroes, Celine turned to Kiran, her voice curious yet eager. "Anyway Kiran, did Alfred and I gain anything when we were summoned as Heroes?" she asked, her eyes glimmering with anticipation.

Kiran, taking a moment to consider her question, met their gazes with a thoughtful expression. "When you were summoned as Heroes, you gained the ability to concentrate on the weapon of your preference during battle," he explained, his voice carrying the weight of knowledge and experience. "Why don't you two give it a try?"

Alfred and Celine, their eyes closed in deep concentration, focused their energy. Within moments, two magnificent weapons materialized in their hands, a testament to their newfound Heroic abilities.

In Alfred's case, a lance with heavy flower motifs manifested on both of his hands. Alfred, feeling the weight and power of the lance in his grasp, couldn't help but express his awe.

In Celine's case, a new tome manifested in both her hands. Her new tome was colored green, and its cover bore a symbol that resembled a flower being blown by the wind.

"This lance feels incredibly powerful," Alfred remarked, his voice filled with a mixture of excitement and determination.

Kiran, intrigued by the sight before him, raised his Breidablik, using it to inspect Alfred's newly summoned weapon. As he did so, a voice echoed in Kiran's mind. It was Baldraz, the ancient spirit residing within the Breidablik, revealing the name and nature of Alfred's formidable lance.

'Kiran, that is the Arcane Qiang. It's a lance that guarantees its user a follow-up attack, even if the opponent is faster, and it can also make it easier for its wielder to use Special Attack skills like Bonfire or Luna,' Baldraz disclosed, his voice resonating with an air of ancient wisdom and knowledge. 'It seems Alfred is summoned as a Rearmed Hero.'

Kiran, his voice steady and filled with authority, addressed Alfred with a sense of importance. "Alfred, you have been summoned as a Rearmed Hero," he declared, his words carrying a weight of significance. "Alfred, your lance is called Arcane Qiang. It's a powerful lance that guarantees a second strike," he revealed, his voice resonating with a sense of power and destiny.

"I see. No wonder I felt that this new lance is powerful," Alfred remarked as he held his Arcane Qiang. "And I'm a Rearmed Hero? What does it mean?"

Alear, curious and eager to understand, turned to Kiran, her voice filled with inquisitiveness. "Yes, Kiran. What exactly is a Rearmed Hero?" she asked, her eyes shining with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

Kiran, always willing to share his wisdom, replied to Alear, his voice calm and patient. "A Rearmed Hero is a Hero who wields an Arcane Weapon," he explained, his words carrying a sense of authority and expertise. "In Alfred's case, his Arcane Weapon is the lance called Arcane Qiang," he added, his voice emphasizing the importance of the weapon's name.

"In addition," Kiran continued, his voice holding a touch of excitement, "a Rearmed Hero can give a copy of their Arcane Weapon to another Hero who shares the same weapon specialty." He looked at Alfred, his gaze filled with a mixture of pride and encouragement. "In your case, Alfred, as a Rearmed Hero specializing in lances, you have the potential to share the power of Arcane Qiang with another Hero who also wields a lance," he explained, his voice carrying a sense of possibility and unity.

Alfred listened intently, his eyes widening with understanding and a newfound sense of responsibility. He realized the significance of his role as a Rearmed Hero and the potential he held to empower others who shared his weapon specialization.

And then, Celine, her eyes alight with anticipation, turned to Kiran, her voice filled with curiosity. "Kiran, what is my new tome?" she asked, her excitement palpable as she awaited his response.

Kiran, understanding her eagerness, raised his Breidablik, using it to inspect Celine's newly manifested tome. As he did so, a familiar voice echoed in his mind. Baldraz, the ancient spirit residing within the Breidablik, revealed the name and nature of Celine's powerful new tome.

"Her new weapon is called the Joyous Tome, a powerful tome that not only aids in battle but also can heal both its wielder and their allies." Baldraz disclosed, his voice carrying an air of ancient wisdom.

Kiran, nodding in confirmation, turned to Celine, a smile forming on his lips. "Celine, your new tome is called the Joyous Tome," he relayed, his voice filled with pride and excitement. "It's a powerful tome that not only aids in battle but also can heal both you and your allies," he explained, his words emphasizing the tome's unique ability.

Celine's eyes widened with delight, a mixture of happiness and gratitude washing over her. The name itself filled her with a sense of joy, and the knowledge of its healing capabilities ignited a newfound determination within her. She clasped the tome tightly, feeling the surge of power coursing through her veins.

Overwhelmed with happiness, Celine expressed her gratitude to Kiran. "Thank you, Kiran," she whispered, her voice filled with sincerity and appreciation. The revelation of her Joyous Tome and its healing properties filled her heart with a renewed sense of purpose and a determination to support and protect her allies.

As Alear stood there, silently observing as Alfred and Celine underwent their transformation into Heroes, their new weapons materializing before their eyes. A mix of emotions swirled within her, a part of her acknowledging that she wasn't quite ready to be summoned as a Hero herself, while another part felt genuine happiness for her friends and their newfound powers.

As the group turned around, they were met with the sight of Alfonse, Sharena, and Commander Anna approaching the Summoning Stone. Alear's attention shifted, curious about the reason for their presence.

Kiran, always quick to address the matters at hand, spoke up, directing his question to Alfonse. "Alfonse, has Veronica been escorted back to the Askr-Emblian border?" he inquired, his voice filled with a sense of urgency and responsibility.

Alfonse nodded, confirming Kiran's inquiry. "Yes, she has been safely returned to the Emblian Empire," he replied, his voice resonating with a mixture of relief and satisfaction. The successful completion of such an important task brought a sense of accomplishment to the Askrian prince.

Sharena, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, turned to Kiran, her voice filled with excitement. "Kiran, you summoned new Heroes, didn't you?" she inquired, her eagerness evident as she awaited his response.

Kiran, with a smile, nodded in confirmation. "Yes, Sharena. Using two Golden Summon Orbs, I managed to summon Alfred and Celine as Heroes," he replied, his voice carrying a sense of accomplishment since the successful summoning using the Golden Summon Orbs brought a wave of satisfaction to him.

Commander Anna, ever the practical one, chimed in, her voice firm and authoritative. "Since Alfred and Celine have become Heroes, they'll need to undergo orientation to be properly inducted into the Order of Heroes, like with Lumera," she declared, her words carrying a sense of responsibility and protocol.

The mention of Lumera by Commander Anna sparked Alfred's curiosity, prompting him to speak up. "Commander Anna, is it true that Lumera has been summoned in Askr as a Hero?" he asked, his voice filled with intrigue as he sought confirmation.

Commander Anna, with a nod, affirmed Alfred's question. "Yes, Lumera was the first Hero to be summoned from Elyos," she confirmed, her voice holding a hint of admiration for the skilled warrior.

Alear, eager to contribute to the conversation, spoke up, revealing her own experience with Lumera. "In fact, Kiran and I faced Lumera in a fierce Grand Hero Battle, shortly after Lumera passed on," she shared, her voice filled with a mixture of pride and excitement. "We were able to best her in combat, which allowed Kiran to summon her as a Hero," she added, her words resonating with a sense of accomplishment.

The group listened intently, their attention focused on Alear's words. They recognized the significance of the Grand Hero Battle and the victory over Lumera. It was a testament to their own skills and determination, as well as a tribute to the strength and potential that Lumera possessed as a Hero.

Celine, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, turned to Commander Anna, her voice filled with anticipation. "Commander Anna, will we be allowed to meet Lumera after our orientation?" she asked, her eagerness evident as she eagerly awaited a response.

Commander Anna, with a warm smile, reassured Celine. "Of course, once your orientation is complete, you all will have the opportunity to meet Lumera," she replied, her voice carrying a sense of encouragement and inclusion. The prospect of meeting Lumera, a renowned Hero, brought a sense of excitement to the group.

Alear, intrigued by the thought of meeting her own mother, couldn't help but ask another question. "Commander Anna, do you know where my mother, Lumera, usually goes?" she inquired, her voice filled with curiosity, hoping to gain more insight into her mother's whereabouts.

Sharena, always knowledgeable about the happenings of the Heroes, chimed in, her voice filled with enthusiasm. "Sometimes, I see Lumera hanging out with Archanean, Jugdral, and Valentian Heroes at the Aether Resort," she revealed, her words carrying a sense of familiarity and fondness.

Alfonse, ever the strategist, spoke up, offering a suggestion to Commander Anna. "Commander Anna, perhaps you can conduct Alfred and Celine's orientation while Sharena escorts Alear to the Aether Resort?" he proposed, his voice filled with practicality and consideration for everyone's needs.

Sharena, her eyes lighting up with excitement, nodded in agreement. "Oh, that sounds like a great idea! I can show Alear around and introduce her to the other Heroes, and maybe even find Lumera among them!" she chimed in, her voice brimming with enthusiasm.

Taking this opportunity, Alfonse turned to Kiran, his voice filled with curiosity. "Kiran, would you be willing to accompany us?" he asked, hoping to have their summoner's presence in their upcoming endeavors.

Kiran, however, shook his head, declining Alfonse's invitation. "I appreciate the offer, but I do want to summon new Heroes at the Summoning Stone," he replied, his voice carrying a sense of determination and focus. The desire to recruit more Heroes for their cause weighed heavily on Kiran's mind.

Alfonse, understanding Kiran's priorities, nodded in agreement. "I understand, Kiran. We do need new Heroes to help defend Zenith and Elyos," he acknowledged, his voice reflecting his agreement with Kiran's decision.

Sharena, chiming in, couldn't help but remark on the unusual circumstances surrounding Kiran's summoning.

"To be fair, it's been a while since Kiran has actually summoned any new Hero," Sharena remarked. "But now that he's here, even for a day, I think Kiran wouldn't pass this up."

Thus, Alfonse, Sharena, and Commander Anna guided Alear, Alfred, and Celine around the Kingdom of Askr, meeting new Heroes along the way, including some Heroes that were the basis of the 12 Emblems of Elyos, leaving Kiran at the Summoning Stone, ready to summon two particular Heroes that the four alfar of Alfheimr requested to him.


As Kiran stood there, his gaze fixed on the Askr Trio and the newly summoned Heroes they were leading away for their orientation, a moment of quiet reflection washed over him. He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, and with a determined resolve, he raised his Breidablik, ready to summon anew.

"Hero Summon," Kiran chanted. "I bring forth the four alfar into the waking world - Peony, Mirabilis, Triandra, and Plumeria."

With a flash of light, four ethereal figures materialized before him - Peony, Mirabilis, Triandra, and Plumeria.

Peony, her voice filled with curiosity, spoke up, breaking the silence. "Kiran, is this the time when you'll try to summon Freyr and Freyja?" she inquired, her voice carrying a gentle melody.

Kiran, opening his eyes and meeting Peony's gaze, nodded in confirmation. "Yes, Peony, you're right. It's time for me to attempt summoning Freyr and Freyja," he replied, his voice filled with determination and a hint of excitement.

Triandra, her voice filled with anticipation, turned to Kiran, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. "Kiran, do you have the Golden Summon Orbs with you?" she asked, her voice carrying a sense of urgency and excitement.

Kiran, a determined expression on his face, nodded in response. "Yes, Triandra, I have already loaded the Golden Summon Orbs into the Breidablik," he replied, his voice filled with confidence. The preparation for this moment had been meticulous, and he was ready to bring forth the alfar siblings.

Plumeria, a smile gracing her lips, spoke up, her voice filled with joyous anticipation. "I'm glad the time has finally come for both Freyja, the Lady of Nightmare and Dream-King Freyr to be brought back to life, albeit as Heroes," she remarked, her words tinged with a sense of nostalgia and hope.

Mirabilis, with a gentle yawn, couldn't help but chime in, her voice carrying a touch of dreaminess. "I hope that Freyja and Freyr can jointly rule Alfheimr this time," she murmured, her words expressing a wish for a united and harmonious future for the Realm of Dreams as a whole.

Kiran armed his Breidablik with two Golden Summon Orbs, one for Freyr and the other for Freyja. Then, Kiran fired the two Golden Summon Orbs into the Summoning Stone. As the Summoning Stone glowed in a golden light, the four alfar stood in awe as the golden light enveloped Kiran...


As Alear stood in the bustling Aether Resort, her gaze fixed on Alfred and Celine amidst a crowd of various Heroes, particularly those from the World of Valentia, a murmur escaped her lips. "I wonder if being summoned as a Hero by Kiran himself would make me stronger," she muttered, her voice tinged with a mix of curiosity and contemplation.

Just as she pondered her potential growth, a familiar voice reached her ears. "Alear, my child," Lumera's voice called out, filled with warmth and affection. Alear's eyes widened in surprise as she turned to see her mother, Lumera, standing before her.

A wave of emotions washed over Alear as she rushed forward, embracing Lumera tightly. The joy of seeing her mother after a long time apart filled her heart, and she held onto the embrace, savoring the moment. The bond between them was strong, and the sight of Lumera in the flesh reaffirmed their connection.

Alear looked up at her mother, Lumera, a hint of longing in her eyes. "It's been a while since I last saw you, after that intense Grand Hero Battle," she spoke softly, her voice filled with a mix of nostalgia and yearning.

Lumera smiled warmly at her daughter, her eyes reflecting the experiences she had gained since being summoned as a Hero. "Yes, after being summoned, I've had the opportunity to meet and interact with various Heroes in the Kingdom of Askr," she replied, her voice carrying a sense of fulfillment and adventure.

Noticing the conflicted expression on Alear's face, Lumera's smile faded slightly as she asked, "What is wrong, my child? You seem troubled." Concern filled her voice as she waited for Alear to share her thoughts.

Alear took a deep breath, her gaze locked with Lumera's. "I feel conflicted, Mother," she confessed, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "Kiran has offered to summon me as a Hero, but I'm not sure if I should accept."

Lumera, her voice gentle yet firm, turned to Alear, her daughter, and posed a thought-provoking question. "Alear, if someone were to offer you an opportunity to become stronger with little to no downsides, would you reject the offer?" she asked, her words laced with wisdom.

Alear hesitated for a moment, her brow furrowing as she considered Lumera's question. After a brief pause, she softly replied, "No, I don't think I would reject such an offer."

Lumera nodded, her eyes reflecting a sense of understanding. "Then, my child, you should clear your mind of doubts," she advised, her voice filled with conviction. "If Kiran himself has offered you the chance to be summoned as a Hero, it is a sign that you should accept his offer."

Alear listened attentively, Lumera's words resonating deep within her. She knew that her mother's guidance held great wisdom, and she trusted in Lumera's understanding of the situation. With a renewed sense of clarity and determination, Alear finally agreed.

"Yes, Mother," Alear replied, her voice filled with newfound resolve. "You're right. If Kiran has extended this opportunity to me, then I should accept his offer and embrace the path of a summoned Hero."

Lumera, her voice filled with warmth and guidance, turned to Alear, her daughter, and shared her plans for the upcoming meeting with Kiran. "Alear, when you meet with Kiran later, tell him that you're ready to be summoned as a Hero," she said, her words carrying a sense of encouragement. "But before that, I want to spend some time with you."

Alear nodded, a smile forming on her lips. "I would love that, Mother," she replied, her voice filled with gratitude. She appreciated Lumera's support and understood the importance of spending quality time together before embarking on her journey as a summoned Hero.

Expressing her appreciation, Alear spoke up, her voice sincere. "Thank you, Mother, for clearing my doubts and guiding me through this decision," she said, her words carrying a deep sense of gratitude. "Your wisdom has given me the clarity and confidence I needed."

Lumera smiled, her eyes shining with pride. "You're welcome, my child," she replied, her voice gentle. "I will always be here for you, offering guidance and support whenever you need it."

Alear's eyes widened, touched by Lumera's words. "Thank you, Mother," she said softly, her voice filled with appreciation. "Your presence and advice mean the world to me."

Lumera, sensing Alear's need for reassurance, offered a suggestion. "If you ever find yourself in need of advice or guidance, you can ask Kiran to summon me in front of you," she offered, her voice filled with understanding. "I will be there for you, even in spirit."

Alear's expression softened, her gratitude evident. "That would mean a lot to me, Mother," she replied, her voice filled with sincerity. "Knowing that you're there, even if not physically, gives me strength and comfort."

With their plans in place and their bond as mother and daughter reaffirmed, Alear and Lumera embraced, cherishing the moments they had together. They understood that their paths would diverge for a time, but their love and support would remain unwavering.


In the eerie expanse of the space-time void, Kiran found himself surrounded by an otherworldly atmosphere, reminiscent of the encounter with Baldraz. His eyes scanned the surroundings, taking in the ethereal figures of Freyr and Freyja standing before him.

Freyja, her voice filled with a mix of curiosity and recognition, spoke up. "I remember you, Kiran," she said, her words tinged with a hint of nostalgia. "I remember our... conflict in the Realm of Dreams and the events that unfolded."

Freyr interjected, his voice calm and level-headed. "That is in the past, Freyja. I am certain that Kiran brought the two of us here from the beyond for a reason," he stated, his words carrying an air of wisdom. He understood the importance of moving forward, leaving behind the memories that no longer served a purpose.

Reluctantly, Freyja nodded in agreement with her brother's words. She understood the need to focus on the present and the challenges that lay ahead. The past, though significant, could not dictate their actions in the present moment.

Kiran stood before Freyja and Freyr, a sense of urgency in his voice as he began to explain his intentions. "Freyja, Freyr, I want to summon both of you as Heroes," he said, his words carrying a weight of concern. "The Realm of Dreams is in disarray, and Peony, Mirabilis, Triandra, and Plumeria have expressed how much they miss you."

Freyja's brows furrowed, her voice tinged with confusion. "Triandra and Plumeria are still loyal to me?" she questioned, her tone reflecting her perplexity. The idea that her two loyal Dokkalafar remained steadfast despite her absence seemed to puzzle her.

Freyr, on the other hand, let out a small smile, a glimmer of understanding in his eyes. "And Peony and Mirabilis are still loyal, even in my absence," he remarked, his voice filled with a mix of pride and gratitude. The fact that the two Ljosalfar that he raised had not wavered brought a sense of comfort to his heart.

Freyja and Freyr exchanged a meaningful glance, their unspoken understanding evident. With a nod, Freyja turned to Kiran and spoke, her voice filled with conviction. "I allow you to summon me as a Hero," she declared, her words carrying a sense of trust and readiness.

Freyr chimed in, his voice calm and resolute. "And I, too, will allow you to summon me as a Hero alongside my sister," he added, showing his support for Kiran's request. The bond between the siblings was unbreakable, and they were prepared to face the challenges that awaited them together.

Kiran's face lit up with gratitude, a smile forming on his lips. "Thank you, Freyr and Freyja," he expressed, his voice filled with appreciation. "I am honored to have both of you join the ranks of Heroes and fight alongside us."

As his words of gratitude hung in the air, the atmosphere around them began to change. A brilliant, white light enveloped the entire place, saturating it with its radiance.


As Kiran's surroundings shifted, he found himself back in the familiar presence of Peony, Mirabilis, Triandra, and Plumeria, standing before the Summoning Stone. Peony, her eyes filled with curiosity, spoke up first.

"Kiran, I saw you close your eyes and enter into some sort of trance," she said, her voice carrying a mix of intrigue and concern. She wanted to understand what had transpired during his absence.

Kiran met Peony's gaze, a reassuring smile on his face. "Don't worry about me, Peony," he replied, his voice calm and confident. "I will fulfill my promise and summon Freyr and Freyja as I said I would."

Peony's expression softened, a sense of relief washing over her. Mirabilis, Triandra, and Plumeria, who had been observing the exchange, couldn't help but let a smile grace their faces. Kiran's commitment to his word and the reassurance he offered brought them gratitude.

Then, Kiran stood before the Summoning Stone, the Breidablik held firmly in his grasp. With determination etched onto his features, he raised the sacred relic and began to chant the summoning incantation. "Gathering wishes to call upon the siblings that govern the Realm of Dreams together!" his voice rang out, filled with conviction. "Become the path that light shines upon!"

As his words echoed through the air, the Breidablik ignited with a brilliant glow, its power surging forth. With a resounding burst of energy, a ray of light shot forth from the relic, piercing through the air and merging with the Summoning Stone.

Before the awestruck gaze of Peony, Mirabilis, Triandra, and Plumeria, the summoning ritual took hold. Two orbs of luminous light materialized in front of the Summoning Stone, their ethereal presence captivating all who beheld them.

As the vibrant orbs of light gradually transformed, Kiran's voice resonated with power and purpose. "Hero Summon! Be reborn as Heroes, Freyr, the Dream-King, and Freyja, the Lady of Nightmare!" he chanted, his words infused with the ancient incantation.

The two orbs of light responded to Kiran's summoning, their forms shifting and reshaping at a rapid pace. In a stunning display of magic, the luminous spheres coalesced, revealing the resplendent figures of Freyr and Freyja, the rulers of Alfheimr, the illustrious Realm of Dreams.

With their revival as Heroes, the essence of their divine powers intertwined with the mortal realm, infusing the siblings with new strength and purpose. As Freyja and Freyr stood in front of Kiran and their four loyal alfar, the weight of their past reign and the legacy they carried now merged with the potential of their Heroic forms.

"I am Freyr, Dream-King over the realm of Ljosalfheimr..." Freyr introduced himself. "As long as mortals dream, I hold to my hopes..."

"I am Freyja, ruler of Dokkalfheimr, a god from beyond this mortal realm," Freyja introduced herself. "To be summoned here with my brother... is acceptable."

Triandra's voice broke the silence, gratitude lacing her words. "Kiran, your promise to us has been fulfilled," she acknowledged, her voice carrying a sense of relief. The weight of their absence had been lifted, and with Freyr and Freyja's return, a sense of wholeness was restored.

Peony's smile brightened as she responded to Triandra. "We can all be happy now that Freyr and Freyja are back with us," she remarked, her voice filled with genuine joy. The reunion of their beloved rulers brought a renewed sense of hope and unity among them all. Triandra nodded in agreement, her eyes reflecting the shared sentiment.

Freyja turned her attention to Kiran, her voice soft yet resolute. "As a Hero, if you ever need my power over Nightmares, you can call upon me whenever you wish," she offered with her words carrying the weight of her dedication. The bond between Hero and Summoner was strong, and she wanted to assure Kiran of her unwavering support.

Freyr echoed his sister's sentiment, his voice steady and reassuring. "As the Dream-King of Ljosalfheimr, I, too, will answer your summons whenever you require my aid," he affirmed, his words reflecting his commitment. The connection forged between them was not limited to the realm of dreams; it extended to the realm of Heroes.

Kiran listened to their words, a sense of gratitude welling up within him. The unwavering support and trust shown by Freyr and Freyja touched his heart deeply. With their divine powers at his disposal, he felt a renewed sense of determination to fulfill his role as a Summoner and protect the realms under his care.

As Kiran stared at the skies overlooking Zenith, he silently wondered as to what Heroes he could summon out there, in the many worlds that host their own Fire Emblem...


And there you have it! This is the latest chapter of Emblems and Heroes!

To all the people who offered advice in brainstorming this story, and now to this forum website, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

And here are two Stingers this time...


In the dimly lit encampment hidden on the border between the Kingdom of Askr and the Emblian Empire, Shadow Director Ebony of the Curse Directive stood before a group of captured bandits and brigands. Her piercing gaze swept over them, her expression a mixture of superiority and calculation.

Ebony's voice dripped with a dark amusement as she addressed the prisoners. "My forces have managed to capture you simpletons as you entered the Outrealm Gates," she mused aloud, her tone laced with a sinister satisfaction. She saw potential in these individuals, an opportunity to mold them into obedient soldiers for the Curse Directive.

The bandits and brigands exchanged glances, their faces etched with a mix of fear and confusion. They had no idea what fate awaited them in the clutches of Shadow Director Ebony, nor the depths of her twisted plans.

Ebony's eyes gleamed with a wicked delight as she continued, her words laden with a chilling certainty. "Once I have finished brainwashing you, you will make fine additions to the Curse Directive," she declared, her voice filled with a cold determination. To her, these captured individuals were mere pawns, tools to be molded into instruments of chaos.

As Ebony's words hung in the air, the prisoners' expressions turned to ones of dread. They realized the dire fate that awaited them, trapped in the clutches of this powerful and malevolent force.

With the encampment shrouded in darkness and the captives held captive, Ebony reveled in the prospect of adding more soldiers to her dark ranks. The Curse Directive's influence would only grow stronger, the line between ally and enemy blurring in the face of their nefarious ambitions.


A few hours had passed since Kiran successfully summoned Freyr and Freyja. In the wake of their arrival, a sense of newfound hope filled the air. It was during this time that Alear, her gaze fixed upon Kiran, stood before the Summoning Stone with a resolute determination.

Lumera, Alfred, and Celine stood silently behind Alear, observing the exchange with curious eyes. They recognized the weight of the moment and understood the significance of Alear's words to Kiran.

Alear's voice broke the silence, tinged with a hint of regret. "Kiran," she began, her tone laced with sincerity, "I wanted to apologize for what I said earlier about not being ready to be summoned as a Hero."

Kiran's gaze met Alear's, his expression gentle and understanding. "It's alright, Alear," he replied, his voice carrying reassurance. He bore no ill will towards her for her earlier doubts. He recognized the courage it took for her to apologize and admired her willingness to confront her reservations.

Alear's voice held a newfound resolve as she continued, her words filled with determination. "Now, I am ready to be summoned as a Hero," she declared, her voice steady and unwavering. The doubts that had once plagued her had been replaced by a newfound belief in her abilities.

The words hung in the air, the weight of Alear's declaration echoing through the encampment. Lumera, Alfred, and Celine exchanged glances, their silent support evident. They stood united, knowing that this marked a turning point in their journey.

Kiran's smile widened, a sense of pride shining in his eyes. "I believe in you, Alear," he responded warmly, his words carrying a sense of unwavering faith.

Then, Kiran, fueled by determination, loaded his Breidablik with another Golden Summon Orb, his focus fixed upon Alear. With a swift motion, he aimed and released the orb, watching as it soared through the air toward her.

Alear, anticipating the impact, closed her eyes and braced herself. As the Golden Summon Orb connected with her, her entire being was consumed by a radiant golden glow. The light enveloped her, wrapping around her form like a protective cocoon.

Amid this luminous transformation, Kiran's voice rang out, his words infused with ancient power. "Gathering stars to call upon the Divine One of Elyos!" he chanted, his voice resonating with purpose. "Become the path its light shines upon!"

Lumera, Alfred, and Celine stood nearby, their eyes wide with wonder as they witnessed the unfolding spectacle. Their breath caught in their throats as Alear's body became a beacon of soft, white light, radiating a serenity that seemed to encapsulate the very essence of divinity.

Time seemed to stand still as the companions observed the awe-inspiring transformation taking place before them. The silence of the moment amplified the significance of the event, each of them aware of the immense power being harnessed by Kiran and bestowed upon Alear.

As the radiant glow slowly faded from Alear's body, Kiran stepped forward, his voice filled with conviction. "Hero Summon! I induct you as a Hero, Alear, the Dragon Child!" he declared, his words carrying the weight of destiny. The transformation was complete, and Alear had emerged as a Hero, a force to be reckoned with.

Lumera, Alfred, and Celine stood in awe, their eyes fixed upon Alear, their fellow companion who had now joined their ranks as a Hero. The significance of this moment was not lost on them, and they felt a surge of pride and camaraderie as they welcomed Alear into their fold.

Alear, her eyes now open and brimming with newfound purpose, spoke with a voice that resonated with power. "I am the Divine Dragon Alear," she declared, her words carrying a sense of wonder and determination. "I never imagined I'd be called upon as a Hero, but I'm here to help you, Kiran, in saving both Elyos and Zenith."

As Lumera, Alfred, and Celine all ran towards Alear to embrace her in a hug, Alear herself couldn't imagine the magnitude of being called upon as a Hero was not something she had ever imagined, yet here she stood, ready to fulfill her role in the quest to save both Elyos and Zenith. As she saw Kiran smile at her, Alear felt that she had become stronger now that she was a Hero herself. With the help of Kiran, and all of their allies from Elyos, Zenith, and even other worlds out there, Alear felt that they had a fighting chance against Fell Dragon Sombron.
