29. Years Past: Leo

I do not own Touhou Project or Fire Emblem

I really wish I had something positive to say… but all I got is that this is the third time I've had to rewrite this chapter. That is all I have as my reason for this being late.

So without further ado!

Let the Conquest begin!

Years Past: Leo

Magic Nights

BGM: Id (Beginnings) - Fire Emblem Awakening

Leo was four years old when he found the books hidden in the library of the Northern Fortress. The words in them were in some sort of language he couldn't read, yet the curious four year old couldn't help but try to read them. He had taken the books back to the room he shared with his older brothers and hid the books under his bed. During the night he would take them out from under his bed and try to make sense of them.

This however led to problems with him sleeping, as Leo was awake for most of the night trying to read the strange books. This led to him being tired during the day, something that his siblings took notice of.

"Leo." Xander said as he looked at his younger brother, who was slumped over slightly over the table they were sitting at, not a plate of food in sight as Leo slowly looked up at him, his eyes drooping tiredly. "What big brother…" Leo slurred tiredly before slumping back over the table.

"Leo… you haven't been sleeping right." Xander said as Leo spoke while still face planting the table. "What makes you say that big brother…" Leo mumbled as Xander sighed. "Leo, we can tell you aren't sleeping right, so why don't you tell us?" Camilla asked as she fed Elise with a bottle, the baby blonde paying more attention to her sister's long hair then the conversation.

Leo just mumbled something neither Camilla or Xander could make out as Xander shook his head. "Camilla? Did aunt Minerva visit today?" Xander asked his younger sister as Camilla nodded. "She's with Cor-Cor and his friends right now, she said aunt Celsius would be by later today as well." Camilla said as Xander nodded. "Then I'll be right back." Xander said, walking away and leaving Camilla with Leo and Elise.

"Leo, come on, tell me what's wrong?" Camilla asked sweetly, trying to get Leo to talk as he stayed face first with the table. At this point Elise however had finished her milk and was trying to grab her sister's hair in amusment.

"No…" Leo mumbled, his voice muffled by the table and the sounds of the mess hall as Xander walked back into the room with Minerva following him. "Leo, Xander told me you aren't sleeping right… is that true?" Minerva asked calmly as Leo kept himself face first with the table as he mumbled something incoherent. "Leo, look at me." Minerva said as Elise finally got her hands on her sister's hair and started tugging, much to Camilla pain. "Elise! Stop!" She shouted as Xander and Minerva turned to face her, Leo looking up slightly to see Elise tugging on Camilla's hair and giggling.

"Elise, no you don't tug your sister's hair." Minerva said, taking Elise from Camilla and holding her, Elise however just kept giggling and trying to grab her mother's hair, which Minerva had moved out of her grasp. "Leo, look at me, now." Minerva said as Leo closed his eyes and stuck his face back down on the table. "No." He mumbled.

"Leo if you don't look at me right now I'll have to wake you up." Minerva said, slightly annoyed at Leo as he grumbled but didn't look. "Alright then…" Minerva said as she slowly handed Elise to Xander, the young girl looking up at her older brother and giggling as Xander smiled at her.

Minerva however grabbed the staff she had on her back, a restore staff and held it over Leo's head. The red gem in the staff glowed as Leo was enveloped in a red light before the light disappeared and Leo looked up, much less tired then before. "Auntie… I wanted to sleep." Leo complained with a pout as Minerva sighed. "Xander told me you've been having trouble sleeping, and I'm going to believe him considering how you are acting. Now I'm going to ask this just once. Why are you having trouble sleeping?" Minerva asked, her voice never losing its calm demeanor, but held an air of authority at the same time.

Leo, looked down at the table again, but didn't put his head on it as he mumbled something that Minerva couldn't hear. "What Leo?" Minerva asked a Leo spoke up a little bit more. "I've been trying to read some books I found." Leo admitted as Minerva sighed. "See Leo, that wasn't so hard… what kind of books were you reading?" Minerva said before she caught onto what Leo had just said.

"I don't know, I found them in the book room." Leo said, referring to the fort's library. Minerva however sighed and looked down at Leo before speaking again. "Show me these books Leo." Minerva told him as he got up slowly and started walking, Minerva following him but not before leaving a final sentence to Xander and Camilla. "Take care of Elise until I get back, alright?" She asked as Camilla and Xander nodded.

BGM: Knowledge - Fire Emblem Fates

Minerva and Leo both walked into the room Leo was sharing with his brothers and already Minerva was pointing inside the room. "Show me these books Leo." She said calmly as Leo nodded and walked over to his bed, getting down on his knees and pulling the books out from underneath his bed.

Each book was a different color and had a different design on the cover. The first one Leo pulled out from under his bed was a purple book with the image of an eye on it that Minerva stared at for a few moments as Leo pulled out the other books. One was red with a gold lining on the cover, with a flame in the middle of the cover. A yellow book with a thunder bolt on it was among the small pile as well, alongside a green book with a small tornado on it, and even a blue book with a large snowflake on the cover. "Leo… you said you found these in the library right…" Minerva asked quietly as she walked over and sat down on her knees next to the pile, focusing on the purple and blue books as Leo nodded.

"Yes auntie, I found all on them in there." Leo said as Minerva picked up the blue and purple books before glaring at them. "These should not be there…" She muttered as she stuffed the two books into the robes as Leo stared at her in confusion. "What are these auntie?" Leo asked as Minerva held up the red book. "These are magic tomes Leo, these should not have been in the library of all places…" Minerva said as she already had plans going through her head for a search of the library for any more dangerous tomes.

"You mean like the books you use for your magic? And the royal book?" Leo asked amazed as Minerva sighed and nodded. "Yes, but these are very dangerous… not something that you should have Leo." Minerva said as she pocketed the rest of the tomes. "Why can't I use them! I'm learning magic!" Leo yelled at his aunt as she sighed. "Leo… all these tomes are dangerous, only those extremely dedicated to learning how to use tomes of this caliber can use them safely." Minerva said as Leo stared at his aunt with determination in his eyes. "Teach me magic. I want to learn how to do powerful magic like you." Leo said as Minerva looked into his eyes and sighed, she could never say no to these kids could she?

"Alright Leo… I'll start teaching you. But right now I have a lesson with Corrin, and you." Minerva said as she placed her finger on Leo's nose. "Need to eat, and then get a good night's sleep, understand Leo?" Minerva asked as Leo nodded. "Good. We will begin your training next week when I visit with my sister." Minerva said as she stood up and started walking to the door. "Thank you auntie." Leo said as Minerva was about to leave, she turned with a smile on her face. "Your welcome Leo." Minerva said as she left to go back to her lesson with Corrin.

Leo waited a few moments before he was sure Minerva was gone before smiling and jumping up and down and cheering to himself for managing to get her to teach him magic. "I'm gonna be a great magician!" Leo cheered. "Leo what are you doing in there!" Minerva called from down the hallway before coughing ensued from her yelling. "Nothing auntie!" Leo yelled back before he left the room to go get something to eat.

Brynhildr

BGM: Dim Moonlight - Fire Emblem Fates

Leo was five years old when Minerva had started teaching him how to properly use the sacred tome Brynhildr. He had spent the past year under Minerva's tutelage in how to use magic. When he was younger Minerva would have allowed him to try and use Brynhildr under her supervision, but at best he could manage to make a few sprouts come out of the ground. Now, with a year of magical training under his belt, Minerva had decided that now he could be taught how to properly use Brynhildr.

"Aunt Minerva? Why are we out here?" Leo asked as he shivered in the cold snow. The blizzard that always was around the Northern fortress blowing hard as snow fell around Minerva and Leo. "Because this is the only place suitable enough for your training." Minerva said as she pulled a red tome out of her robe. "Besides, I would assume that you, like most of the others here, are well adapted to the cold." Minerva said as she opened the elfire tome, runic circles forming around her as a ball of fire formed in her hand before she threw it upwards, the fire staying as the snow around them started melting.

"That will keep us warm for a while, so long as you don't mind water on your feet." Minerva said as Leo nodded, uncrossing his arms as he stopped shivering. "Tell me Leo, what do you know so far about Brynhildr?" Minerva asked as Leo looked up at his aunt. "Brynhildr is the sacred tome of Nohr, and it can be used to grow trees from the ground, right?" Leo said, thinking he was right.

"Brynhildr is a lot more then that Leo." Minerva said as she pulled the aforementioned tome out of her robes. "Brynhildr is also known as the book of life, for it can create life out of nothing but magic, the tome of earth, for its ability to manipulate the earth itself. And Gaia's fury, to encompass its ability over gravity, Earth's own force. There are other tomes that can perform just one of these feats, but none can do all three, nor as well as Brynhildr." Minerva said as she opened the tome.

"Just watch." Minerva said with a small smile as Leo watched intently. A runic circle formed beneath Minerva as a pair of stone pillars shot up on either side of her, stones floating around them like coiling snakes as vines quickly climbed up the stone pillars, intertwining with the floating rocks to make a rather beautiful display.

Leo was left to stare in awe as Minerva closed Brynhildr, the rocks falling to the ground yet the stone pillars and vines remained. "This…" Minerva said as she gestured to the pillars. "Is just a fraction of Brynhildr's power. And soon enough, this power will be passed down from me, to you, Leo." Minerva said as Leo focused back on his aunt.

"When can we get started?" Leo asked, eager to learn this powerful magic as Minerva held Brynhildr out to him. "We start now. Let us begin Leo." Minerva said.

For the next two years Leo trained with Minerva, learning all he could from her about both normal magic, and the powers of Brynhildr. When Leo was seven however, it came time for his final test in magic from his aunt.

Leo was seven years old, the snow falling around him and Minerva as they stood in the same courtyard where they had trained for the past two years, the stone pillars from two years ago still standing, with snow covering their tops and their vines wilted away. Minerva stood between the pillars with Brynhildr in her hands, held close to her chest.

"Leo. The time has come for me to pass this tome down to you." Minerva said as Leo stood across from his aunt, snow falling gently between them Minerva held Brynhildr out in front of her. "Brynhildr, the book of life, the tome of earth, Gaia's fury. This sacred weapon has many names, and only one of them truly matters. This tome now belongs to you Leo." Minerva said as she held it out to Leo, who walked up to his aunt and took Brynhildr from her hands gently before holding it to his chest.

"However." Minerva started again as she pulled a green tome out of her robe. "Now comes your final test Leo." Minerva said as she opened the tome, a runic circle forming beneath her as the wind started to pick up around her and Leo, the snow speeding around them as green gales of wind bared the two of them from being interrupted. "You must beat me in a duel of magic. Show me all that you have learned Leo, and show me the power of Brynhildr." Minerva said, her voice never losing its gentle tone, yet the air of commanding remained as Leo nodded. "Then I won't hold back auntie. I will win!" Leo said as he held Brynhildr in one hand.

BGM: (Touhou Orchestral) Whereabouts of the Heart

Leo threw Brynhildr open as the runic circles formed underneath him, across from him Minerva had opened her personal tome, Minerva's gale. Minerva was faster as gusts of green wind flew at Leo, who looked up and smirked as pillars of stone shot up in front of him to block the wind before lowering back down into the snow covered ground. Leo smirked as he cast another spell from Brynhildr, rocks floating up from the ground and flying at Minerva from his spell as she reopened her tome, a barrier of wind forming in front of her and deflecting the rocks away from her and back into the ground.

Leo spared his aunt no quarter as a runic circle formed beneath her, Minerva noticing it and using a wind spell from her tome to move out of the way before a small grove of trees shot up from beneath her, Leo smirking as they shrunk back into the ground.

Minerva landed back between the pillars of stone, Leo looking at them with a smirk as vines crawled up them before shooting at Minerva, one of them grabbing her off hand by the wrist and keeping the physically weak woman held down as she moved her other hand, the one holding her tome, out of the way of the other vine before a gust of green wind cut it apart.

As a small blast of green wind cut the other vine holding her a pair of stone pillars shot up in front of and behind her, trapping her between the four stone pillars as Leo smirked, a runic circle forming beneath both her and Leo as Minerva held her tome open and her hand up.

Trees started shooting up beneath her as a disk of green wind cut them before they could fully form, stopping the trees from harming her as Minerva started breathing heavily from the constant spell casting. She could go on for quite a while, but having to constantly deal with everything Leo was throwing at her was starting to tire her out.

Leo however took advantage of her fatigue, having rocks float around the four pillars she was trapped between to keep her from escaping as four more pillars sprung around her at diagonals, leaving Minerva trapped in a circle of pillars as vines crawled up all of them. "Sorry auntie, but I'm going to win this!" Leo shouted at her over the wind as he closed his eyes and smiled before slamming Brynhildr shut as the vines all shot at Minerva, trees springing up underneath her as Leo closed his eyes with a satisfied smirk, thinking he had won.

"Good work Leo." Minerva said as Leo's eyes shot open in surprise, leaving him staring at his aunt as the vines and trees were all cut to ribbons by the green winds around her, the pillars being battered by the winds as the rocks that were supposed to keep her in were flung away by the wind sphere. "But you are just an apprentice, I didn't become the Archsage of Nohr for nothing." Minerva said with a gentle smile as the wind picked her up and carried her out of the circle of pillars, Leo standing in shock as Minerva stepped off the swirling gale that had kept her afloat and onto the snowy ground.

"Now Leo… you've shown what you can do, but can you defend yourself?" Minerva asked as Leo shook himself out of his stupor. "Of course I can!" He shouted at his aunt as she smiled. "Then prove it." She said calmly as she switched tomes, exchanging her personal tome for a tome Leo didn't recognize. "Think fast Leo." Minerva said as she opened the tome.

Leo was left with little time to react as he threw Brynhildr open, quickly casting a spell to cause a dome of stone to spring up around him as he braced for impact, only for something hard to impact the stone dome and shatter it with ease as Leo took a quick look at the tome in Minerva's hand.

"Thani… the light tome that was made specifically to bust the defenses of armor. It's a relatively new tome, but that doesn't decrease its effective usage. You'll have to be a little smarter to defend yourself against this one Leo." Minerva said with a smile as Leo realized when she meant.

Thinking fast Leo opened Brynhildr as Minerva prepared her next attack, giving Leo the time he needed to set up his defenses as vines formed a dome around him, unlike the hard stone, these were to hold up against the 'armor buster' tome. As Minerva cast Thani that light spell dropped from above, landing on Leo's dome of vines and exploding in a burst of yellow light, but unlike with the stone the vines didn't outright shatter, instead they were scorched as Leo let his vine shield fade away, the young boy breathing heavily as Minerva walked up to him.

BGM: Humming/Treasures - Fire Emblem Fates

"Nice work Leo, but there was a better way you could have handled that." Minerva said as Leo fell down and landed on his butt. "What way auntie?" Leo asked as he panted as Minerva breathed heavily herself, only slightly more controlled. "Brynhildr has the ability to halve the damage of magical attacks made against you. I was holding back the Thani spell so that you could outright take it instead of having to defend yourself…. Or did you forget about that property in the heat of the moment?" Minerva asked as Leo blushed and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"Don't forget again Leo, you need to stay on your toes and make sure to keep your wits about you during any fight, even a friendly one." Minerva said as Leo nodded and stood back up. "So did I pass?" Leo asked as Minerva nodded. "You did… prince Leo." Minerva said as she bowed politely. Leo smiled before deciding to return his with own bow out of curtesy. "And thank you, Archsage Minerva, for teaching me." Leo said with a smile as Leo looked back up and Minerva down at Leo.

"Let's go inside Leo." Minerva said as she took Leo's hand, leading him inside. Leo simply smiled as he held Brynhildr close to him in one hand and held Minerva's hand with his other hand, the two walking back inside, the only sign of their battle the pillars of stone in the snow covered courtyard.

Three Retainers: The Singing Fox

BGM: Dusk Falls - Fire Emblem Fates

Leo was ten years old when the call to return to Windmire came. Alongside his siblings he returned to Windmire… and ended up in a group hug with the rest of his siblings that had been started by his happy father, who had been overjoyed that his children had finally returned home, even though he had been the one to call them all home.

Nearly a month after returning to Windmire a rather strange group had arrived. Three teenagers who had wanted to apply for jobs as royal guards. Leo hadn't paid much attention to them at first, but when they had offered to prove their skills Leo had been roped into watching the fights that were organized for them.

"This should be good." Garon said with a smirk as he sat in his throne, or rather the one he had in the spectator box. Sitting next to him was Xander on one side and Minerva on the other, as Celsius was down in the arena as part of the fights. Elise was jumping up and down at the edge of the box, excited to see the fights as Corrin and his retainers were all in the stands, watching together and more than likely making really stuff jokes. Camilla was sitting next to Leo in the spectator box as Leo stared in almost jealousy at his older brother and his five retainers.

But he couldn't fault Corrin, he had people he could trust with his life, his best friends turned close retainers. He loved his brother and in the end it was hard to feel jealous at him, but it didn't stop Leo from wanting his own retainers.

"So who's the first fighter?" Xander asked as Garon looked at the small list he had Minerva write up. "His name is apparently Shigure… No last name given, but unlike someone I know." Garon noted as he looked at Minerva. "Don't have a last name, don't care for one." Minerva responded as Garon chuckled.

"This should be fun!" Elise shouted excitedly as she continued bouncing. "Why is Celsius fighting father?" Xander asked as Garon chuckled. "Call it something special… if they can hold their own against her, then I think I may have a job for them that's better than a simple guard." Garon said with a smirk as the fighters entered the arena.

The blue haired teen, Shigure entered first, carrying a steel lance he had chosen as his weapon of choice. Atop his head was black and white striped bandana that seemed to be holding something down, and behind him the air seemed to glimmer somewhat, but too little to be of any note.

His opponents were slightly more organized. About five soldiers were scattered about the arena with a single fighter with him. A knight was in the middle and near the back of the arena, Celsius herself was leaning against a wall, waiting for her opponent to challenge her.

Getting up out of his throne Garon walked about two steps as he stood at the edge of the spectator box. "Let the test to see if this man is worthy of joining the royal guard… Begin!" Garon shouted as the fight began.

BGM: Alight (Storm) - Fire Emblem Fates

"That's my cue." Shigure said as he looked up at the spectator box. 'So the plan is to impress them enough to either get into the royal guard position.' Shigure thought as he looked over at Celsius, who was still leaning against the wall of the arena. 'Become a retainer to one of them, obviously the second is better, so I guess I'll have to prove myself against that girl over there after beating these guys up.' Shigure thought as a rather… spacey thought entered his head. 'Should be fun… maybe I'll get to stop hiding… other traits.' Shigure thought as he felt his ears twitch under his bandana, which was barely keeping them down, and uncomfortably at that.

"Just don't space out and I should be fine." Shigure muttered as he breathed in and out before running at the first soldier. The man was ready for him as he raised his shield to block a strike from Shigure, rather than try to attack first, a smart move as Shigure's lance smashed against the man's shield. Shigure pulled back as the soldier tried to stab at him and spun his lance in his hands for a moment before slamming the wooden end into the man's head, knocking him down before picking up the man's shield in his other hand and quickly strapping it to his arm before hitting the wooden part end of the spear into the man's chest to hold him down. "Stay down." Shigure whispered as the man grumbled and threw his arms out in surrender as Shigure got off him.

And just in time too as the next soldier tried to attack him, only for Shigure to use the shield he had taken from the soldier he had just taken down to block the spear and put his own to the man's chest, causing the soldier to stop as Shigure swiped his spear across the man's chest, knocking the soldier's spear away from him as the soldier jumped back and rose his shield before charging at Shigure.

Shigure however took a single moment to jump up, high enough to land on the man's shoulders and flip off him, sending the soldier face planting into the ground as Shigure's bandana threatened to come undone. But Shigure landed and quickly tied his bandana back harder as the fighter ran at him with two soldiers.

Shigure sidestepped out of the way of the fighter's axe before poking the fighter in the chest where his heart was, causing the fighter to be grudgingly step away as if that had been an actual stab it would have killed him. The two soldiers however tried to stab him together, only for Shigure to have his ears twitch under his bandana, alerting him to the soldiers behind him as he ducked, the two soldier's spears going over him as he swung his lance at the soldier's legs, sweeping them off their feet as Shigure stood back up and put his lance to one of the soldiers, only for the other to get up and try to stab Shigure in the side.

Shigure used the shield on his arm to block the strike before quickly putting his lance to the soldier's heart, his foot on the other soldier's chest as both surrendered, leaving only the knight and Celsius left for him to contend with.

"He's good." Garon noted as Leo watched the fight, actually having actively started watching after the first soldier had fallen. "He's smart and agile… but I wonder why he stopped to tighten the bandana." Minerva noted just from seeing him fight. "Do you think he's worth it?" Garon asked his loyal retainer and tactician. "Just wait… I want to see just how good he is, if he can hold up against my sister then he's defiantly good enough, but as is… he's qualified for the first part of the job." Minerva gave her assessment as Garon smirked.

Leo however paid them no attention as he tried to scan the blue haired teen in the arena. He seemed to be about three years older than him, and the air seemingly shimmering behind him was odd, but something Leo was able to ignore as he focused on the man's spear work, which was rather good, not that Leo knew how someone fought with a spear besides stabbing.

The fight picked back up as Shigure engaged the knight, running around the armored knight and pestering him with pokes of his lance as the knight tried to hit Shigure desperately with his heavy lance, but his armor wouldn't allow him enough freedom of movement to keep up with the speedy teen.

At this point Celsius, while still leaning up against the wall of the arena was quite amused. Watching Shigure run circles around the lance knight was more than enough to make a normal man's head spin as Shigure kept on poking the poor knight with his lance. "I wonder how Tirado would deal with him… probably just grab the poor kid by his neck on one of his passes." Celsius wondered quietly out loud as she imagined the image and snickered at it for a moment as the knight finally gave up and threw his lance down in anger.

"My turn." Celsius said as she stopped leaning against the wall, Shigure walking towards her as he held his lance in one hand and the stolen shield in the other. "Nice lance play, haven't seen anything like that before." Celsius said as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Thank you general, but I believe we must fight now." Shigure said as he pulled the shield off his arm. "This should be fun." Celsius noted as she placed her hand on her sword, which was mounted on her belt behind her with Alondite on her back. "I agree." Shigure noted with a small smirk as he held his lance behind him in a similar pose to Celsius.

BGM: Baptized in Ice [Cirno's Theme]

Celsius pulled her sword out of her sheath at the same time Shigure spun his lance out from behind him, both of them going to block the other as their weapons collided, sparks flying as the metal tip of the spear rubbed against the refined metal of Celsius' personal blade. The two struggled for a moment before Celsius quickly gained the upper hand with her superior strength, Shigure being forced to pull away or have his weapon snapped in half.

The vanguard and the spear fighter circled each other for a moment before they dashed at each other again, spear slamming into Celsius' sword as Celsius moved his spear away from her to keep him from moving it stab her in the chest. Shigure noticed this and tried to force it back towards her chest, only for Celsius to pull away suddenly.

Shigure took the moment to try and move his spear fast enough to stab at Celsius' chest, trying to get his spear close to her heart as Celsius smirked, flipping onto her hands as Shigure went to try and stab her.

Her armored foot impacted the wooden part of his spear in a hard kick, straight up snapping it in half as the half of the spear with the metal tip was sent flying into the dirt of the arena. Celsius quickly getting back on her feet and holding her sword out in front of her with two hands with her face in a smirk.

Shigure was left staring at his broken weapon for a moment before rolling his eyes and throwing it behind him. "Been a long time since I've actually had to cut loose a bit… I've wanted to for a while but couldn't until now." Shigure said as he reached for his bandana, Celsius waiting with her sword at the ready as Shigure moved to untie the black and white striped scarf that he used as a bandana.

In the stands Leo was watching intently alongside Elise as she kept bouncing up and down in excitement as her mother tried to get her to calm down. "This is interesting." Garon noted as he watched alongside his children, Minerva to busy trying to get Elise to calm down to notice what was happening in the arena.

Shigure swiftly pulled the scarf off his head before wrapping it around his neck in one clean motion, Celsius left staring as a pair of blue furred fox ears sprung up from their flattened position on his head, the air previously shimmering behind him dissipating to reveal the large blue and white furred tail behind him as Shigure adopted a martial arts stance. "Let's do this." Shigure said waiting for Celsius to make a move as she shook herself back to her senses. A battle was a battle and nothing changed that.

The fight stared again as Celsius swung at Shigure, the kitsune teen jumping out of the way swiftly, knowing that he wouldn't be able to compete with Celsius in a contest of strength, and his only way to win was through speed. Running around Celsius she kept a close eye on him as she turned at a rather fast speed, able to keep up with him through her training, and her battle awareness.

Shigure suddenly ran at her, Celsius moving to block his attack as suddenly jumped in the air just before he reached Celsius, a cloud of smoke enveloping him and Celsius as she closed her mouth and kept her eyes open as Shigure disappeared from view.

Celsius suddenly swung around and swung her sword as a large fox with blue fur shot at her, the fox dodging out of the way and darting under Celsius' legs, jumping on her back and pushing off her in an attempt to unbalance her that didn't work as Celsius spun around as the fox was in the air, becoming enveloped in a cloud of smoke as Shigure landed from a backflip from the inside of the smoke.

"Nice trick." Celsius said with a grin as Shigure smirked. "I've been practicing." Shigure said as he went back into his stance, waiting for any attacks as Celsius and him squared off again.

Shigure suddenly jumping into a backflip, becoming enveloped in a cloud of smoke as a large fox came out as the smoke dissipated, the blue furred fox landing deftly on the dirt floor as Celsius readied herself for the next attack. Shigure suddenly ran forward and jumped at Celsius as Celsius swung her sword with its blunt side, intent on knocking the fox out with a blow to the head as time seemed to slow with Shigure mid jump and Celsius' sword coming down.

BGM: Implore the Dawn - Fire Emblem Fates

"That's enough." Garon called as the two were about to meet, Celsius lowering her blade as Shigure ended up landing on her chest, yipping as he bounced off and back flipped off her to Celsius' annoyance, becoming enveloped in a cloud of smoke as the mostly human Shigure popped out of the smoke and landed on the ground. "You've more than impressed me Shigure… I believe I may just have an offer for you later, after your companions finish their trials." Garon said as Leo suddenly spoke up.

"No. I want him." Leo said suddenly as Garon looked down at his youngest son. "What?" Garon asked, as the rest of the royal family, and Minerva, turned their attention towards him. "I want him as my retainer." Leo said with determination as Minerva looked at him. "Are you sure Leo?" Minerva asked as she finally got Elise to settle with sitting in her lap. "Yes I'm sure." Leo said as Garon looked down in the arena at Shigure and Celsius.

"Uh… are you ok with that?" Garon asked awkwardly, his little plan having been ruined as Shigure shrugged. "I don't see a problem with it." He said as started staring off into space. "Ok Leo… you're good." Garon said as Leo nodded. "Meet me outside the arena Shigure." Leo shouted from the box as Shigure shouted back. "Alright!" He shouted as he turned to leave.

"Hey fox boy." Celsius said as Shigure turned to face her. "Good match, I hope your companions give me just as good a show." Celsius said with a smile as Shigure nodded. "I count on it." He said with a smile as he left to arena to meet Leo.

On that day Leo gained his first retainer. The mysterious kitsune Shigure, who preferred the lance over his natural instincts. His companions became retainers to Camilla and Xander respectively, and while they spoke often, Shigure kept his loyalty to Leo… and would eventually be the straight man among Leo's rather odd group of retainers.

"Everyone! We have intruders!" A soldiers yelled through the halls as Leo and Shigure were walking down them. "Intruders… here?" Leo asked Shigure in confusion, his retainer of one year and counting shrugging as his ears twitched. "I can hear footsteps, but I can't tell if that's just the guards or whoever these intruders are." Shigure said as guards, maids and butlers started running through the halls. "Find them!" Garon's voice boomed through the halls, his voice loud and dark as Leo and Shigure faced each other.

"Is it just me or did he sound… scared?" Shigure asked as Leo closed his eyes. "Last time there was intruders in the castle… I lost my older sister to them, I don't know where she is now, and I can't remember what she looks like." Leo said as he clutched his arm as Shigure winced. "My… sympathies." Shigure said, trying to find the right word as he and Leo walked the halls.

"Should we help find the intruders?" Shigure asked as Leo nodded. "Let's." Leo said as he pulled Brynhildr out of his pocket, carrying the tome under his arm as he and Shigure started running through the halls, soldiers, butlers and maids scrambling to try and find whoever had invaded the castle.

Shigure suddenly stopped as he heard a crash from a nearby room. "Wait." Shigure said as Leo stopped. "In here." Shigure noted as he and Niles stood by the door, several butlers and maids noticing them and joining them as Shigure grabbed the door handle.

Shigure threw the door open as Leo ran in with Brynhildr open, only to stop as the maids, butlers and soldiers followed him in, along with Shigure as they all stared at the six teen year old white haired boy with an eyepatch over his right eye sprawled out over the floor, an open window just feet away from him as the teen lay in a daze.

"He has to be the intruder!" a soldier shouted as he was about to put his lance to the teen's face. "Wait." Leo said, throwing his arm out as he walked forward as the teen seemed to recover from his daze, only to find himself surrounded by the butlers, maids and soldiers with the eleven year old Leo in front of him.

"Who are you?" Leo asked with an air of authority as the teen looked away from him, his single eye trying to scan the room for a way out. "They left me… dastards…" The teen growled as. "Just kill me and get it the hell over with." The white haired teen said as Leo stared at him. "And what if I didn't?" Leo asked as the teen laughed. "Like I got anything left you royal prick." The teen said, not caring he was speaking to an eleven year old prince as soldiers started pointing spears at him.

At this point Garon was just outside the room, Bölverk in his hands and both Celsius and Minerva at his side as he entered the room and say the current sight as Leo talking to the teenager sitting on the floor. "What's going on?" Celsius asked as Garon just watched.

"I'm not going to kill you. I see some worth in you." Leo said as the boy chuckled. "Like what, as a pawn for your royal games." The boy snarked as Leo shook his head. "I'm going to offer you a job, either you accept it and be pardoned for your intrusion of the palace, or you end up on the pointy end of one of these." Leo said as he pointed at one of the spears. "Like I got a choice?" The boy asked as Leo held his hand out to him. "Fine, I'll take your offer blue blood." The white haired down said as he grasped Leo's hand.

Leo would learn the boy's name was Niles, a street urchin who had a rather tragic past, that he refused to talk about much at all. Garon had protested his son taking a thief as a retainer, more out of worry for his child's safety then anything moral about it. Eventually… after a lot of persuasion from Leo, he relented, but still kept a close eye on Niles whenever he was in sight, and even had Rennac tail him for a bit just to make sure nothing happened.

Niles and Shigure were both loyal retainers to Leo, who was growing up quite fast, and become quite mature as he made his decisions for himself and spent time with his family. But Niles was not the last retainer Leo would have, for one more was about to come.

Never Fear! The Justice Cabal is Here!

BGM: Such bonds are the true strength of this army - Fire Emblem Awakening

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Minerva asked Garon as he nodded. "They drove these dam 'Great thieves' out of the country. You think you would be happy about that?" Garon asked as Minerva stared at him, annoyed. "The reports also said that they are beyond… how should I put this… eccentric." Minerva said as Garon shrugged. "Name me one person who doesn't have some sort of quirk to them, and you can't say yourself, because you have more than a few quirks yourself." Garon said as Minerva suddenly shut her mouth, unable to respond to that, other than to continue to glare at Garon.

"The 'Justice Cabal'? They sound like a vigilante group." Xander said as he stood next to his siblings, their retainers nowhere to be found for the moment as Corrin was leaning against a wall, snoring away as Leo had his nose in a book, Elise trying to bug her mom by tugging on her robe, and Camilla just watching everyone with a smile.

"That's exactly what they are Xander. And I wanted to invite them to thank them for driving those dam thieves out of Nohr… both me and Minerva have been in paperwork hell because of it…" Garon said, keeping his voice down to keep anyone from hearing that last bit.

"Sir. They have arrived." A butler said as he entered the throne room. "Bring them in." Garon said as the butler nodded before leaving. "Out of all your ideas, this has to be one of the… I don't know if it's one of the worst or just a dumb one." Minerva said as Garon shrugged. "Don't judge father to hard auntie, he tries to do what's best for us." Camilla said with a smile as Minerva sighed Elise walking up to her mother and sitting in her lap.

The door to the throne room opened once again as the butler from a minute ago lead four people into the room, each of them wearing something different. The white haired boy in the lead had two swords on his person, one that was very regal looking, and the other a dark purple in color with a simple strange design. His coat with black with purple lines on the sleeves with three eye like designs on each arm. Gold lining appeared throughout the coat and the hood in the back was kept down as the man wearing it smiled at everyone in the room.

BGM: Agh! Won goph in mah mouph! Blech! Ptooey! - Fire Emblem Awakening

"The chosen hero arrives! I thank you king Garon for allowing the Justice Cabal in your hallowed halls!" The white haired boy said in his usual theatrics. What followed was… interesting to say the least. Minerva practically face faulted as Garon started laughing in amusement. Celsius was left staring at the guy and blinking as Leo actually looked up from his book with a raised eyebrow. Both Xander, and the only other guy of the group had started face palming at the white haired boy's antics. Camilla had started smiling in amusement as Elise giggled at the funny man. The man's two female companions had actually started posing along with him with the blue haired girl on the man's right and the yellow haired girl on his left as the white haired man posed with one hand over his face with a smirk on his face.

"What… just… what?" Minerva asked, Garon's right hand woman left completely speechless as Celsius just started laughing before leaning up against the wall to support herself to keep her from falling over laughing. Garon was still smiling when he stopped laughing as everyone in the room trying to recompose themselves, aside from the man the two girls at his side. "I like these people mommy!" Elise cheered with a giggle as Xander and the brown haired man stared at each other.

"Is it like this all the time with them?" Xander asked, feeling that the man across from him was the only one he could speak to at the moment. "You have no idea…" He replied as both where left face palming at the antics of the Cabal.

"Alright! Before we go any further, can we at least have your names?" Garon asked, still smirking as the three in front stopped posing. "I am Owain! The scion of legends! And this is my sister Morgan." Owain said before putting his hands on the yellow haired girl next to him who smiled and waved as Owain let go. "And my cousin Cynthia." Owain said as Cynthia waved with a large smile on her face. "And I'm Inigo… the straight man of this little group." Inigo complained as Owain smiled. "Exactly!" Owain cheered as Minerva just straight up past out at this point from the sheer absurdity. "Mommy? Are you ok?" Elise asked, poking her mother in the arm to see if she was alright as Garon focused.

"Alright, the theatrics were fun, but can we please have a decent conversation." Garon said as he stopped smiling. At this Owain nodded. "Alright, I can handle that." Owain said politely as once again he seemly struck half the royal family speechless as to how distance his previous persona was to this much calmer one.

"Aww, I wanted to continue with that big brother." Morgan complained as Owain smiled at her. "We'll do it later alright, there is still justice to be handed out." Owain said to his sister with a smile as she smiled back. "Alright… let's get down to business before this dissolves back into nonsense." Garon said as Owain nodded.

"So what did you call us here for lord Garon?" Owain asked as Garon spoke. "Well… I wanted to thank you for getting rid of those thieves who have been utterly screwing Nohr's nobility over." Garon said as Minerva choose this moment to wake up and chime in. "More like thanks for getting their arses to shut up and stop sending us paperwork because of those thieves." Minerva complained as Owain rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "I think I can understand that." Owain said as Morgan chimed in. "Didn't daddy use to get swamped with the paperwork caused by uncle Chrom's shepherds?" Morgan asked as Owain cringed. "Yeah… he did… don't talk about father alright." Owain said as Morgan shut up and winced herself. "Something bad happen to your father?" Garon asked as Owain sighed and nodded. "It's… not something we want to talk about, it's complicated." Owain replied as he tried to change the subject.

"So! What do you plan to give to us lord Garon, in thanks for getting rid of these masterful thieves!" Owain shouted, going back into his theatrics as Minerva groaned again and Celsius just straight up lost it, falling to the floor doubled over in laughter. "I… wanted to ask you if you would work for the royal family, as a sort of on call group of retainers." Garon said as Xander simply stared at his father in shock. "Sure we can do that." Owain said as Inigo started sputtering. "Owain! You can't just agree to things!" Inigo shouted at his companion as Owain shrugged. "It's not that bad Inigo, we'll be fine." Owain said with a smile as Inigo groaned in annoyance.

"Why do we have to be on call? Are we not good enough for your standards?" Cynthia asked as Garon spoke again. "Apart from the back all that we know about you is you drove those thieves out, we know next to nothing on what you are capable of." Garon said bluntly as Cynthia's mouth popped into an o shape as she nodded.

"Then why don't we prove ourselves in combat! Surely there is an arena around here right?" Owain asked as Garon shrugged. "I don't see why not… though there may be a problem with that." Garon said as everyone started looking at Celsius, who was still doubled over in laughter.

"Sorry." Owain apologized sheepishly as Celsius took a moment to calm down. "We'll do that later. For now, do you accept my offer?" Garon asked as Owain nodded. "Sure." Owain said with a smile as Garon nodded. "Alright, you can go now." Garon said nicely as Minerva chimed in. "Please leave… I can't handle this lunacy." Minerva complained as Owain motioned to Morgan and Cynthia. "Let's go for now. But we shall be back! do not worry yourselves!" Owain called as he left with Cynthia and Morgan. "The things these three drag me into…" Inigo complained as he followed them out.

"That was an interesting group father." Leo noted as Garon sighed. "We'll be seeing them later, I'm sure of it." Garon said as Minerva groaned. "Just after the paperwork ended, now these loons…" She complained, utterly annoyed at just having to deal with what had just happened.

The Arena: Owain

BGM: Training (Galvanized) - Fire Emblem Awakening

It had been a few days since the Justice Cabal's… introduction and now they were out to prove their worth in combat. "This should be good." Leo said as he crossed his arms and sat at the edge of the spectator booth to watch the match as Owain entered the arena below alone. Leo had asked Niles and Shigure to be down there during the match alongside Celsius, who was as usual, part of the test.

"Are you sure about this Leo, he's a loon." Minerva said as she stood next to Leo. "Positive, I want him as my retainer, and I want to make sure he can hold his own against mine." Leo said as Garon stood up and got ready to start the match. "Owain! Are you ready?" Garon asked as Owain shouted from down before.

"I am always ready! For my sword hand hungers for battle!" Owain shouted back as he pulled his black sword out from its sheath. "Alright then…. LET THE MATCH BEGIN!" Garon yelled as the match in the arena began.

The setup was similar to the test that Shigure and his companions had been put through, several soldiers, a knight, a fighter, and Celsius, but this time she was joined by Niles and Shigure who were paired up off to the side of the arena as Owain started running into battle.

BGM: Id[Hope] - Fire Emblem Awakening

Owain rushed the first at the first soldier with his sword, Missiletainn, ready to strike. The soldier raised his shield to block as Owain's sword slammed into it with a large force behind it. "Fear my binding blade!" Owain shouted as he pulled away quickly, rolling along the ground and gathering dust on his coat as he got up behind the soldier and knocked him onto his face as he spun around to block an attack coming from behind him. "You'll have to try harder then that!" Owain shouted as he pulled away from the soldier quickly, staggering him as he cut his lance in half from the middle before kicking the soldier in the chest to knock him down.

Two soldiers took the chance to run at him, the fighter groaning as he knew he was at a major disadvantage against sword fighters, but he still joined in on the three pronged attack. Owain simply smirked as he quickly sheathed Missiletainn, pulling out his other sword, one that he rarely used… the Parallel Falchion. "Feel the flames of IGNIS!" Owain shouted as he threw his free arm out, his body being engulfed in glowing flames as he spun around to block the two lances with his sword, the flames engulfing him not harming him, but hot enough to start melting the metal tips of the spears as Owain pulled back and held his burning blade, the golden metal of the Falchion gleaming in the flames as Owain stabbed at one of the soldiers and kicked the other in the chest, knocking both down from the force before he spun around and blocked the swing from the axe of the fighter, the metal of the axe already melting from the heat of his blade as Owain smirked. "My sword hand… it hungers for your defeat!" Owain shouted.

As he shouted he held his free hand to the man's chest, lightning forming at his fingertips before blasting the man back, his body crackling with lightning as the man groaned in pain. Up in the stands Garon was clearly impressed as Owain smirked. "He's mine." Leo said with a smirk as Xander grumbled. Clearly for all this man's theatrics, he had a lot of skills up his sleeves.

The flames surrounding Owain died down as he sheathed the Falchion, throwing his arms up as he smiled before shouted. "Are you not entertained! Bring my sword hand another!" Owain shouted, clearly enjoying himself as an arrow flew at him, Owain deftly sidestepping out of its way as he turned to face Shigure and Niles.

Niles grumbled in annoyance as he nocked another arrow in his bow, Shigure's scarf currently being used as a bandana again as the air behind him shimmer. "I can see what you are hiding! The teachings of my father let me see all!" Owain shouted as he pointed at Shigure. "Because you have a tail!" Owain shouted as Shigure blinked.

"Ok… what?" Minerva asked, already feeling a headache coming on as down below, Shigure sighed and took his headband off and tied the scarf back around his neck. "It was worth a shot." He muttered as his tail came into view. Owain smiled as he ran at the duo, Niles taking aim with his single eye as he launched his arrow in the area Owain was going to run into.

Owain dodged swiftly as he rolled under the arrow, Shigure running at him to attempt to get his lance near Owain before he could do anything. But Owain sprang up from his roll and grabbed Shigure's lance in his hand, trying to tug it out as Shigure pulled back, the two engaging in a brief struggle as Niles took aim and fired with bow once again.

Owain was force to let go to avoid being hit by Nile's arrow as he pulled a tome out from his back pocket and spun around as he opened it, runic circles forming around him as he smirked. "THORON!" Owain shouted as a large laser of lightning shot at Shigure.

Shigure dropped his lance and jumped out of the way, back flipping in midair and disappearing in a cloud of smoke as a blue fox came out as Owain's thoron spell dissipated, the fox landing and running at Owain as he put the thoron tome away.

Pulling Missiletainn back out of its sheath Owain swung it sideways and Shigure jumped at him, catching his sword in his teeth as he yanked Owain's sword away from him and jumped away again, flipping in midair and disappearing into smoke as Shigure came back out of the smoke cloud, holding Owain's sword.

Owain simply smirked as he dodged another arrow from Niles, pulling the parallel Falchion off his belt as he twirled it in his hand, Shigure and Owain standing off for a moment before Shigure smirked and threw Owain's sword at him.

Owain sidestepped the thrown sword before grabbing it's handle while it was flying in midair. "Take this! RADIANT!" Owain shouted as the parallel Falchion glowed yellow. "DAWN!" Owain shouted as he ran at Shigure. Shigure trying to flip out of the way as Owain's sword came dangerously close to hitting him as he disappeared into a cloud of smoke, popping out again as a blue fox… that got hit in the face by Owain's other sword, Missiletainn, which was glowing blue. "I am the scion of legend! The flames of Ignis from my father, and the skill of Aether from my mother! I truly am I hero of legend!" Owain bragged as he held the Falchion above his head with a smirk, his sword Missiletainn at his side in his other hand as Niles pulled the knocked out Shigure away from the fight.

"You ain't done yet." Celsius said as Owain trued around, only to find Celsius running at him with her personal blade in her hand, glowing yellow as Owain spun around and slammed his sword, Missiletainn into Celsius' blade. The two struggled for a moment as Celsius smirked, pulling Alondite off her back as the blade glowed blue. Owain stared for a moment before slamming the Falchion into Celsius' blade, Alondite and the Falchion clashing as the flames of Ingis enveloped Owain once more.

"You aren't the only one who can pull off the Aether… BUT MINE IS FORM HARD WORK AND PRACTICE!" Celsius shouted as she pulled away, holding Alondite in one hand and her personal sword in the other, Alondite glowing blue with Luna's power and her sword with the yellow of Sol.

"Then I'll show you the results of my training!" Owain shouted as he stood there, the flames surrounding him and his swords as Falchion glowed yellow with Sol's power, and Missiletainn with Luna's blue.

The two ran at each other before clashing, Missiletainn meeting Alondite as the Falchion met Celsius' sword. Owain struggling to hold up against Celsius, even with Ignis and Aether active. But from the sweat forming on Celsius' forehead, it was clear she was also struggling at least somewhat as the two pushed back against each other, trying to gain dominance in their struggle.

"That's enough!" Garon shouted as the two stopped, their blades stopped glowing as Owain's Ignis died out. "If you two keep going one of you is going to kill the other… probably Celsius is going to kill you Owain." Garon said as Celsius chuckled sheepishly. "I want a rematch later." Owain said as Celsius nodded. "Fine, I want to see who would actually win between us." Celsius said with a smirk as they shook hands.

Up in the spectator box Xander and Camilla were staring at Leo as he sat smugly in his seat. "I already called him as my retainer, you can't have him." Leo said smugly as Xander grumbled in annoyance. "I wasn't expected something like that out of him… he was actually strong enough to hold his own against Celsius in a struggle." Xander said as Garon smirked. "Last people to do that were Tirado… and Walhart." Garon said as he clenched his fist at that name.

"I'll just have to settle for one of the girls… perhaps his sister." Camilla said out loud. If his sister was half as good as Owain himself then she should be well worth it. "I want Cynthia! She has a flying horsey!" Elise cheered, having seen Cynthia's Pegasus when the Justice Cabal had entered the arena back area. "That leaves me with Inigo." Xander said with a sigh. It wasn't that he was disappointed, he just hoped that Inigo was up to snuff, and could pull off anything near as impressive as this display.

In the stands Corrin and his retainers were all talking excitedly. "That was awesome!" Silas cheered as Jakob huffed. "I'll admit… it was an impressive display." Jakob admitted begrudgingly. "Think Garon needs better guards…" Kaze complained as Corrin smiled. "Father can more than defend himself, are you willing to throw down with aunt Celsius?" Corrin said as Kaze shook his head. "That's something only someone insane or powerful would do." Kaze said as Flora muttered something under her breath. "Or both." Felicia said as Jakob huffed. "Clearly this Owain person is both." Jakob snarked.

Leo however had left the spectator's box to go and meet Owain down in the hallway. Niles and Shigure in the same room as Niles was sitting on the stone bench with Shigure curled up still in his fox form, sulking as Owain entered. "That was a good match you two!" Owain said with a thumbs up as Niles huffed. "Whatever you say lord of the dunce." Niles said as Owain glared at him. "I'm a theatric person but I'm not stupid. My father was the tactician for an entire army, and I've picked up a thing or two from him." Owain said, turning serious for a moment as Leo entered.

"Owain. Congratulations on your victory." Leo said with a smirk as Owain turned to face him. "Lord Leo, nice to meet you." Owain said with a smile as Leo looked at his retainers. "Stop sulking Shigure, it's not your fault you lost." Leo said as the blue fox huffed before a cloud of smoke enveloped him, Niles not even flinching as within a second Shigure was sitting next to him with his arms crossed.

"You know I had a friend who could do something like that, except he turned into a giant rabbit." Owain commented as Leo rolled his eyes. "You must have had a very interesting life Owain." Leo said with a tone of snark in his voice as Leo sighed. "My life wasn't all sunshine and theatrics lord Leo, I've been through more hell then you could ever imagine." Owain said, he voice serious for a moment as Leo snarked. "Can't be as bad as mine white top." Niles snarked as Owain spoke.

"Four years old, my mother died defending me from monsters, I've had to fight since I was four years old to stay alive. And there was rarely a moment of rest. All my skill comes from constant fighting, and I wanted to stop doing that… but at this point fighting and tactics are all I know." Owain said as Niles shut up. "Ok… maybe as bad as my childhood." Niles commented as Leo frowned.

"Whatever happened in the past doesn't matter now Owain, you're my retainer now. And I expect nothing but the best from all of you." Leo said with a smile as Owain smiled back. "Of course lord Leo, my sword hand is yours to command… though I would prefer to guide myself." Owain said as Nile huffed. "You took me in when I was abandoned, I'm by your side lord Leo." Niles said with a snarky tone as Shigure spoke. "I've been with you since the day we meet, and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon." Shigure said with a smile as Leo smiled back.

"Then come my retainers. The world awaits us." Leo said as he turned around, Niles getting up along with Shigure and following him and Owain out to door, towards the future.

(Stage Clear!)

AN: HOOOOLLLLLYYYY CRRAAAAPPPP! This took forever to write. Does not help this is my third time rewriting it. But yes here we have Leo, the youngest prince of Nohr and his retainers. Niles, the outlaw, Shigure, the mysterious Kistune, and OWAIN! The man himself has arrived. But he's got quite a few tricks, and anyone who's played awakening will realize on the spot who his father is. Of course Owain isn't all sunshine and hungering sword hands, he's got some personal baggage, and a lot of it, which will be explained later during the Great Thieves arc, Yes the Justice Cabal are major players during that arc, as actually the main 'rival' group to the thieves, being the ones who try to drive them off.

And then Shigure… I'll leave him for all of you to figure out. Leave a review below what you think about him… and who do you think his companions are?

But until next time!
