Anacybele Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 (edited) Hey, all! I know I've mentioned this story before, but I'm finally actually posting my Fire Emblem fic here for all to see. :3 It is a direct sequel to Radiant Dawn and takes place about a year after it. Azura is the lord and main character of the story, though Ike, Ranulf, and Elincia also have large roles. Boyd and Soren show up later as well. Geoffrey appears in the first chapter and then never shows up again, though he is mentioned a lot. Bryan and Leyon, however, are the main male protagonists and two of my many original characters. It tells the story of the gang's quest to thwart Melora's evil plans to use the power of Azura's mysterious pendant and take over the continent of Altarais (as well as kill Azura herself). Well, I hope you enjoy! :3 Prologue It had been three years since the war known as the Mad King's War, where a noble hero named Ike fought to free his country of Crimea from evil, came to an end. Despite this great victory and the bright future it seemed to herald, the seeds of war had only been planted and budding during that bloodshed, and the worst was yet to come. A series of new conflicts stemming from that war soon erupted almost simultaneously, combining and escalating into the greatest battle ever seen on the continent of Tellius, where the armies of two goddesses, Ashera and Yune, fought one another for even greater purposes. After a long journey filled with challenging battles and unlikely allies, Sir Ike managed to defeat Ashera, free the thousands of victims of her Judgment, a period where everyone save for her army and Yune's were turned to stone, and bring peace to Tellius once again.Little more than two months have passed since those dark days ended...Somewhere to the west and across the ocean was the continent of Altarais, a land that remained unknown to nearly all of Tellius for several centuries. Certain events led to its re-discovery and natives of both continents, including the famed Sir Ike and a young Altaraisian mercenary named Azura, began traveling to and fro, developing trade routes quickly. However, talk of war had soon spread among the Altarais natives in the country of Talgria as quickly as a plague.Azura, the mercenary who possessed a beautiful gold pendant, worked ever more to hone her skill with the blade while a nameless foe dogged her every step.Sir Ike left Tellius behind to escape the pain of his lost love, whom had instead married another.A feline warrior named Ranulf accompanied the famous hero to give him hope and comfort.A queen named Elincia gloomily ruled over her nation, longing to find someone close to her heart.The meeting of these four heroes in Altarais is where this tale unfolds....And the beginning of a force that would decide the fate of the entire land.

I also chose a few songs to go with this story. :3Song List: I also made a wiki and an FE forum, but obviously I won't advertise those here lol. But enjoy anyway. :3If you want to give feedback, the feedback thread is here. :) Edited July 15, 2015 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Update: I decided to add in the prologue, which I had originally only posted on my Deviantart account. :3 As you can see, it's not a prologue in the traditional FE sense. This is to help show that if Dawn of Darkness were a game, it would be a pretty hard one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Oh, only chapter 34 is missing from this. I thought I had left at least a few chapters out. I haven't posted here in like forever (a little over three years, da fuck? o.O), but I'm going to revive it now. It seems I had completely forgotten that I was posting links here, not the actual text of the chapters (because some of them are looong lol). xP So yeah, chapter 34 was split into two parts as was the case with chapter 33, so now they shall be linked! I'm afraid chapter 35 has not been started yet though, as several delays forced 34 to take a really long time to get out and I've been leaving this on hiatus to tie off a couple short stories so I could better focus on this.
