~Prologue~

On a continent called Suize, chaos ruled and war was its partner. On the continent, their was war between three factions. Humans, dragons, and demon-creatures. The war had been going on for some time now, the demon-creatures were lead by a vicious demon known as the Demon King. He sent massive waves of his armies to destroy the humans and dragons. The dragons were a faction not to be doubted, they were extremely ferocious and powerful. The last of the three factions are the humans or man, with their bravery and courage the men prevailed in the war. After years of fighting one another, three magicians created a pendant called the Fire Emblem in which seven heroes used this emblem to imprison the Demon King’s soul within it. They also used the same emblem to seal the dragon race within a different dimension. Peace was brought to Suize after a total of twenty-seven years of fighting.

Sixty-seven years after the war and the seven heroes, rest in their nations that they created or formed in the name of their victory. The first nation to arise from the ashes of the war was a nation called Ryuko, a monarch-republic. It was founded by the first brave hero named Roland, a powerful Paladin. Roland created the monarch-republic so he could still have power over his country but have a council to help him with diplomatic and internal affairs.

The second brave hero named Sendis was a mighty Swordsmaster. He created a kingdom called Amneia. Amneia was a name that he decided to pick after his wife died of cancer after the war. His two children a son and daughter were very helpful after their mothers death. But his son left to travel the lands of Suize. His daughter remained extremely loyal and stayed by his side until he passed away. Her son took the throne and is now the current king of Amneia.

The third brave hero was a Necromatic (dark mage) named Fatima, she created a powerful empire named Aeonic. She ruled her mighty empire with peace and grace, none also dared to challenge the natural defense of her empire. With mountains to the south, a forest to the east and a river to the west she had placed her empire within a specific area on purpose. She was close friends with one of the heroes named Roland. She had two children. A month before she died she put all of her most powerful spells and magic into a book known as the “Cursed Book of Spells”. It is said that she sealed the book into a vault that can only be opened by royal blood of her own family.

The fourth brave hero was a Hero class warrior. His name was Vay the great. He created a kingdom called Veneco, where it was isolated from all the other nations. He had one daughter named Retôuna. She had to children who are separated at birth but meet up later in their lives. Retôuna becomes queen of Veneco.

The fifth brave hero was a Falcolord named Melina. She created the nation now called Snight Republic. The Snight Republic was a proud republic with two natural boundaries surrounding it, making the republic a somewhat defendable nation. Melina and Fatima were long term allies and friends. Their two nations lived in peace for quite a long time and still do. Fifty years a go when Kagome and Veneco attacked Snight and Aeonic they were crushed by the Imperial-Republic’s power and brute defense. Melina sadly had no children of her own, so she had no descendents.

The sixth brave hero was a Sage named Norgeto, Norgeto was known as the leader of the seven or the commander. Norgeto created a nation called Heneia. He lived a happy life of peace and prosperity. In the highest tower of the castle he would be always writing about his journeys with the seven. His wife had one child who took the throne after he died. Heneia is a proud and powerful nation, it is known for its strategy and military might.

The seventh brave hero was a Blade Lord named Jasoni, he named his nation Kagome after the light arrow that he pierced a dragon’s skull with. Jason had two children. His two children took over after he died, the nation was prosperous but disputes broke out between the kings, so they split the nation into two states, but still one grand council. They each named their state, one was named Kage state and one was named Mogest state. This brought order back to the nation.

Chapter 1

Meeting of Kings and Queens

Mist is in the air. A thick layer of fog, clouds the lush dark covered forest. A few frogs croak by the pond made out of mud. A person in a black robe and a cloak move across the forest floor almost as if floating across. Sun beams break through the fog shield and illuminate the forest. At the edge of the forest, a man in heavy looking armor sits upon his battle horse awaiting the arrival of someone.

“My lord, we must be going to the castle now. The council will be gathering soon and your father wishes you to be their when the royals arrive.” Said the knight on the battle horse as he itches the horse’s sturdy head. The boy turns towards the knight, stares for a minute or so then walks up to him and says “Alright. Let us go now.” Replied the boy as he jumps on the mighty horse’s back. The knight gently kicks the horse’s side and the horse begins to gallop at lightning speed. Some thirty minutes and the two arrive at a large looking fortress. “Castle Innovade.” Whispers the boy. The battle horse trots across the wooden bridge of the castle’s bridge.

An hour later and the boy is in his room upon one of the towers of the castle. There is a knock on his wooden door. The boy calls out “Who is it?”. A girl calls back from behind the door, “It’s me Nino.” Replied the girl. The boy gets up off of his bed and opens the door letting a girl with short green hair and green-blue dress in. Nino enters the room and walks up to her brother’s brown wooden desk. She flips through one of his books real quick then turns toward him. “So the council is meeting today. Are you ready to meet the Kings and Queens and lords and ladies of the untied Continents of Peace?” asked the girl as she plops down next to her brother.

Simaru looks towards Nino, stares for a moment and then says “Yes, I am ready to meet them, after all I am going to be king one day well emperor and I will have to know them or their descendents.” Smiled the blond haired boy with blue crystal eyes. Nino smiles and turns towards Simaru, and sits next to him on the creaky bed. “What’s that?” asked the girl. Simaru smiles and hands the small book to Nino. “It’s a spell book. Mother gave it to me to hold on for you, then to give it to you when you were old enough.” Explained Simaru.

“She knew that you were going to be a mage the minute she laid eyes on you. So she had a special spell book made for you.” Continued Simaru. A tear slides down Nino cheek. Her fingers glide across the book coves name engraved on it. It is hard to read so Nino blows the dust off of it. “Mom made the spell so whenever you used it would let you know she would always be with you.” Smiled Simaru.

Nino then reads what the book says. –The Book of Wind: Excalibur- Nino smiles and runs her fingers across the name once more. “Thank you Simaru.” She said as she lunges forward to give Simaru a hug. Simaru smiles back. “And didn’t you ay you wanted to be the best mage ever, well here you go.” Said Simaru as he scratches his back. But Simaru’s smile turns into a frown after a second. “If only I was their. If I hadn’t have left her side, the assassins wouldn’t have killed her.” Said Simaru as he gets up and heads towards his desk.

Another knock on the door and there is a man in the doorway with a black robe and red on. He is maybe 39 if that. He has silver brown hair and is 6 foot 1. His blue eyes glisten in the light as if little stars going into a blue nova. “Simaru, it wasn’t your fault that your mother died. Even if you were their you would have been killed along with her. She purposely told you to go where you did so you wouldn’t get hurt.” Explained the Emperor. He walks up to Simaru and places his hand on Simaru’s shoulder. “I could have helped her! Yet. She choose to be by herself.” Yelled Simaru.

“Its ok.” Said Lyon as he hugs his son. “Nino, Simaru. Its time you both got dressed for the council. Simaru I want you to meet our guests.” Ordered Lyon. They both nod, Nino leaves the room and heads for her room to get dressed. Lyon leaves the room as well. Simaru changes into a nicer robe and heads down stairs to the gate.

At the large gate, Simaru awaits the arrival of the kings and queens, lords and ladies and other members. In the distance he spots to people walking. A lady in a blue dress and a younger girl probably around the same age as Simaru. The two finally reach the castle’s gates. “Mistress Lyn, welcome to castle Innovade.” Smiled Simaru as he slightly bows to Lyn. Lyn smiles and then says “Thank you, your highness. I am very honored to be here. By the way, let me introduce my apprentice. Prince Simaru, this is my apprentice, her name is Arashi.” Explained Lyn. Lyn looks from one to the other. “Hello your highness.” Replies Arashi. Simaru smiles and says “Well hello their Arashi. If you two would follow the soldiers, they will show you to the council room.” Smiles Simaru.

A minute later and three Pegasus knights fall from the sky and land in front of Simaru. Three people get off of them. A man with blue hair and blue armor on, a lady with dark ocean blue hair on and another lady with red hair and red armor on. “Welcome my kings and queens to Innovade castle.” Smirked Simaru. “Thank you.” Replied on the ladies. A soldier with a clipboard comes out of the inner gate and meets the three. “Names?” he asks, saying it in a not very welcoming manner.

“I am King Marth; this is my wife Queen Caedea, and our friend Queen Minerva.” Explained Marth. The solider with clipboard flips through a page or to and sends his finger to work. “Their you are, go on ahead.” Said the solider. The three enter the castle and disappear into the darkness. Simaru turns towards the solider. “You! Be nicer! These our are guests. They are not just commoners. They are rulers of countries, nations and empires! You must make them happy, and if their not happy, I am not happy!” yelled Simaru. The solider frowns and stares at his clipboard. He grumbles and then manages to say “Yes your highness.”

A loud thump is heard as a large ship docks at the port next to the castle. Around a dozen people get off the ship, then another loud clunk. Another ship pulls up to that one and another group of people get off the boat. Two groups of people. In the first group a man with a loud voice speaks. “Hello, I am king Hector of Ostia.” Said Hector. “Welcome to castle Innovade King Hector.” Replied Simaru as he gives hector a somewhat cheesy smile. A man rises behind hector. He is tall, muscled; he has red hair and is dressed in a light blue robe.

“I am King Eliwood of Pherae, this is my son Prince Roy, and our friends Queen Pricillia and Lord Raven. Over here is Lord Athos, Ninian, and her brother Nils.” Explained Eliwood. Simaru looks at all the people and then a tiny smile touches his face. “Well hello everyone and welcome to castle Innovade. Please follow the soldier’s directions, they will show you were to go. In the council room their will be food and drinks. So please go on ahead in.” said Simaru as he pointed to the hall. The group walks past Simaru and heads down the hall thank to the help of the knights and soldiers.

The second walks up right after Eliwood and his friends go inside. Simaru is about to speak when cut off, when one of the ladies in the group starts to speak. “Hello, I am Queen L’Rachel of the Rausten Court. This is my husband King Innes of Frelia. This is Queen Natasha and King Joshua of Jennha. Over here is Queen Erika and her husband Lord Seth, her brother King Ephraim of Renais and his wife Queen Tana of Frelia. Behind her is Lord Dussel, ambassador of the Grado Empire. This is also lady Lute and Lady Marisa of Renais.” Told L’Rachel. Simaru nods and looks at them all for a quick second before turning towards a soldier next to him.

The soldier looks through the list on his clipboard then sends a slight nod to Simaru. “You can go in now.” He said smiling. The group walks in and heads for the council room where lots of voices can be heard.

Another ten minutes pass by, two more ships pull up into the docks. Un-boarded from them is two men. Simaru goes up to meet them. “My lords, welcome to the Aeonic Empires capital known as Innovade.” Said Simaru as he looks from one to the other. The two men reach the edge of the platform where the wooden planks of the dock meet the hard concrete.

“I am King Sethar of Kagome, this is my brother Rethin also king of Kagome.” Said the hard voice as it echoed across the courtyard. “Welcome king Sethar and king Rethin of Kagome. Please follow my soldier to the council room. “ Explained Simaru looking at the soldier approaching from behind him. The two kings follow him into the council room. The second ship that pulled up at the dock is different, more swift, smaller, and it had only two sails instead of three. Its flag was a picture of a castle in the sky surrounded by clouds.

A loud horn calls out from the ship. Five people meet Simaru at the large gate. “Hello my name is King Efidê of the Six Islands of Laputa. These are some of my most loyalist knights. Shunske of Ezu island, Kailu of Aeros island, and Sam of Kuuki island.” Smiled Efidê. Simaru looks upon the five, then says to them, “Welcome to castle Innovade, King Efidê please go in with your troops. My soldier will show where to go, an long time no see Kailu.” Smiled Simaru looking at the soldier as he shows the king where to go. The soldier with the clipboard walks up to Simaru and says “My lord that is everyone.”. “Alright, lets go in. Soldiers! Close the gate behind us.” Ordered Simaru. As the giant gate slams tight shut behind him.

“Welcome kings, queens, lords, ladies, and mistress.” Said Lyon over the large amounts of talking and chattering. The room goes silent and all eyes in the council room turn towards Lyon. “We have gathered here today to discuss the success and problems our continents have been going through, and the ones who have died and come back to life. Also to visit old friends and see the new generations.” Explained Lyon. Erika’s face goes pale. Ephraim leans up near her and asks “Erika is something the matter?”.

Erika still silent finally gets the nerve to make her mouth move. “Lyon? Is that you?” asked Erika as a tear slides down her makeup covered check. Seth goes up and hugs her. Lyon’s eyes drop to the floor and then in an instant appear next to Erika. “Yes Erika, it is me. I…..” said Lyon as a jolt of energy hits his side. The force of energy comes from a hug powered by Erika, her arms wrap around him. “But how? We all saw your body float into the sky then warp out.” Said Erika as she begins to cry.

“I used the last of my energy to teleport myself to this castle. My friend and now my most trusted general of this empire, general Senyo. I meant to go back but, I learned that my great grandmother founded this empire and helped bring peace to this land so I wanted to study this land as much as I could. Then Senyo and other asked me to stay and rule the empire.” Explained Lyon. Erika stops hugging Lyon and goes and sits at a table with Seth. Lyon teleports back on the stage.

“We will talk later Erika, for now let us continue with the conference.” Smiled Lyon. Erika smiles back, a great depression has disappeared from her heart no that she knows that Lyon is alive. Lyon begins to speak again. “King Hector, and others will you please tell us what has been going on, on your continent.” Asked Lyon as he leaves the stage and sits down at a table with white swirls on it. “Alright, our continent is at an era of peace now that the war with the king of Bern is over. The war lasted around two years. Their have been no signs of Nergal or dragons.” Explained Eliwood.

Far away from castle Innovade, a great castle in the sky known as the -kingdom of faith-. Over the Hesua Ocean the great kingdom of faith soars in the skies as it is protected by a shield of clouds, hidden from all enemies. Inside the castle in a room of light there is a room with seven chairs in a circle. Only four are used. “Roland! Fatima!” yelled a loud voice as it echoed across the walls. Two spirits enter the room. “Yes Norgeto.” replied them both. “I have a mission for you both. You are being sent back in human form for this mission. A great war shall erupt soon and you must help guide the forces of good and your descendents.” Ordered Norgeto. Roland and Fatima nod. “You will be sent to the Fortress of the Fallen., you will then make your way to castle Innovade of the Aeonic Empire, that is where the war shall begin.” Explained Norgeto. Roland sighs and both Fatima and Norgeto’s eyes turn towards him. “What is the matter Roland?” asked Fatima. Roland sighs again and then says. “But why cant you just teleport us their, instead of making us walk all the way their?” asked Roland.

Norgeto’s face puffs up. “Because it’s a part of your test!” yelled Norgeto, “Also, your descendents must not find out your real names, so we must make fake names for you both. Fatima your name shall be Famia and Roland your name shall be Rolke.” Smiled Norgeto. Norgeto gets up and raises his staff. “Good luck heroes of Suize.” Whispered Norgeto. Norgeto’s staff lights up and the two heroes disappear. Moments later they appear in one of the rooms of the Fortress of the Fallen.

“So this is the Fortress of the Fallen. Hmm, not very cozy.” Laughed Rolke as he thought of the joke he just thought up. Famia turns and hits Rolke upside the head. “Ow!” whined Rolke. “Shh! I hear a voice.” Hissed Famia. Two men walk around the corner of the hall, they are speaking to each other in a low tone, but Famia still can hear it. “My lord, have you recovered yet?” asked a man hooded in black. “No! Eliwood critically wounded me. No thanks to him my quintessence has been gathering extremely slowly but soon I will be at my full power again, and nothing can stop me.” Chuckled the other man in a dark blood red and black robe.

“My lord, I have a question. What about the Legion? And Nargia?” asked the hooded man. His face cannot be made out due to the hood drooping over his face, but he is equally tall as the other man but a tad shorter. The man in the dark blood red and black robe stops and then says to his minion. “Need no worry Lord Sen.
