Redoing a Normal Awakening Run.

[TheSilentChloey]

So after some level grinding I have chapter 14 done and dusted. It is of course now time to start going for the children characters. Mostly Morgan because that will lead to some interesting combinations later on (Lucina and Morgan having god-like fun anyone?) and the family being complete. I am thinking of getting a 3DS capture card so that the fun is easier to post, but I am not sure how to go about such things, but if I do get one rest assured I'll be recording the playthrough and others when I get the chance so we can see exactly what I do when I'm going through the game. And a lot of videos to boot. And moving right along to the more important things...

[spoiler=Story!]So after much level grinding I have now got some ladies that are in their final classes and have most of their skills set...at least the skills that I'll be making use of. Certain units are not going to be ready and I've been going for the child units (and training their parents so that we can get them all in one go) and I'll start that after this chapter. We at this point of time have Nah and Lucina the latter capping her stats and doubtless being ahead of everyone else. This time we're going to tackle chapter 14. So yes we're finally going to Valm...or at least meeting them at sea.

Chloey as it soon turns out finds the sea breathtaking, and I am inclinded to agree with her. The ocean is amazing and I've only ever actually been on a boat twice...and I loved it. So yes I do agree with this sentiment. Of course we don't get long to focus on Chloey's enjoyment of the situation as Chrom makes the comment that he's not been on a boat before (how the hell did you get to Carrion Isle then?) and says that he never fancied himself a sea captain. It is at this point that perhaps the most interesting conversation comes to light. We find out that Chrom dies in a fight to sway his destiny killed by someone he trusts...and I do believe we're getting hints of that premonition all the way back in the tutorial...Chloey is someone close to Chrom and we know based on the premonition that something happened to her to make her kill Chrom...but what? Could it be that someone takes control of her and force her to kill Chrom?

Without much to go on (although I know the answer to said question already) there is little we can do but watch as Chloey suffers a very nasty headache that worries Chrom until she assures him that all is well. We notice that Lucina seems to be worried but not showing it, of course talk turns to Lucina's reason for taking on Marth's name and decides that she'll fight with the name that her parents chose for her. Frederick decides to appear and tell us that we're the underdogs in this fight. As if I didn't expect that. However there isn't much that we can do. Flavia (my favourite Khan) says that the Plegians have given us oil. Hmm let's see, oil can be burnt and we could do a lot of damge if we could get burning oil to the ships (because they're convenently made of wood). As we find out there is no way we could burn the Valmese ships because we don't have catapults with which to send the burning oil at the Valmese.
My best guess would be since we have half the soldiers just have half the fleet to be used as flaming cannons. Chrom talks about destiny and Chloey corrects him. She states that the shepherds are strong because of their invisible ties. Chrom laughs and says that the salty air is getting to her and Chloey says that's enough philosophy for one day. The plan needs to be worked out and Chrom says that we need to prepare for what is ahead. And that he's glad to be bound to his wife by said invisible ties. Chloey doesn't say anything but she does look serious and Chrom tells everyone that we have work to do.

[spoiler=Chapter's end]Lissa and Lon'qu are the heroes of the map and we now come to the end of the map. And the bit of story that is needed.

Chrom tells us that the general has fallen and that it's time to put our master plan into action. It's time to ram the Valmese fleet with our own ships. The soldier painics and Chrom tells us to jump at the last moment. Once safely on another ship we turn to see that the sea itself is on fire. This is the point that Frederick is most pleased. Because we know that there is a pyro in that heart of his . Of course Flavia has her praises and everyone talks about talking on Valm. Because the smoke and death is enough to deal with at this point in time.

And that is that. Chapter complete...now to get Morgan...

[TheSilentChloey]

I always run Lifetaker as a healing skill. It always triggers when you kill an enemy in your turn and the HP recovery is great overall. With Morgan however I run Aether instead of Lifetaker, but interestingly she seems to always trigger it when she needs health and even crits if she's in desperate need of it. It's weird and amazing.

That could help, but I tend to get RNG screwed real good. Even with Lifetaker as an option I either don't have it equiped, or the units can't learn it. It'd be fine for the avatar and their children or anyone who can learn lifetaker but Gaius, Lon'qu, Vaike and Gregor can't learn lifetaker and they're the most at risk usually. Also this is a male Morgan run so he won't get aether. So I guess I could run lifetaker for him if I wanted to take a bit more of a risk, but like I said I am a very cautious type of tactician. I try to keep my units out of danger as best I can.

Side Story 12: Disowned by Time

That's right I'm going for Morgan! Mostly for the fact that I want Morgan shenanigans and the best way to do that is of course to actually get him. The little guy is worth the get because he'll have galeforce. That and well...get ready for an OP Morgan everyone!

[spoiler=Chapter Notes]So Chrom and the gang decide that the time has come to travel to the Ruins of Time. Now this is mostly because they do not actually expect to get a child here at all, so the premise of this chapter is that there is some sort of treasure. Of course we don't realise that there is an even more prescious treasure. But well...we'll get to the chapter.

[spoiler=Concluding notes]We got Morgan and the very much deathless part of this run has happened. So now what happens? Morgan shenanigans of course. And we all know that Morgan and Lucina work well together as siblings so stats here we cap!! And yes Morgan was fully capped when I got him. And he still is to boot!

So we have unlocked the standard C Support of child unit and parents (and Lucina and Morgan have a sibling support get ready for roaches everyone!). I'll tell you about them next time before we go for our next child. Like I said second seal madness...

[TheSilentChloey]

Side Story 9: Wings of Justice

Today we go for Cynthia, Sumia's adorable little girl who will only add to the shenanigans of fun. I have decided that for my sanity at least I'll save her having to promote to great knight with Sumia having Luna and Frederick giving dual guard + so Cythina will have a good head start.

[spoiler=Story Notes]So today's effort is to get Cynthia. Now for those of us who've done this side story before we all know the drill. Cynthia is tricked into thinking that some idiot claiming to be Chrom is actually Chrom despite the fact that this imposter has no resemblence to Chrom at all. Obviously Cynitha doesn't think of that. Adding insult to injury if Chrom is her father how the hell would she not know what he looks like. All I can say is that I don't like my Cynthia with blue hair because it just doesn't suit her at all. So with that out of the way...tactical notes ahead.

Turn 4:

The heroes of the map were Chrom and Chloey and getting Cynthia was the icing on the cake. Normally this is the map where I tend to lose Cynthia but I didn't this time I actually got her without her getting injured and/or dying!!

[spoiler=Chapter Conclusion]So yes, we ended the map by Sumia talking to Cynthia. It was pretty nice to see her reaction and the fact that she starts going through so many emotions at once that we can be left a little confused. But we know that Cynthia is going to be with her family again and she should be just fine

[TheSilentChloey]

So now onto Side Story 10. Severa here we come.

[spoiler=Chapter notes]So the shepherds are arriving in what is a little island not too far from Plegia's coast that is actually a sizible island. No idea who lives there, but it is clear that all hell will be breaing loose soon. We see that the villagers that live on said island are struggling. Chrom arrives just as the word Valmese is mentioned and asks the men what they were talking about. Of course the younger of the two asks who Chrom is and he responds as calmly as he can. The men have a little chat and Chrom offers to help them, which the leader offers thanks for.

We then cut to the person in question. Nelson is just a nasty piece of work and to be quite the idiot. Not sure who I'll have to end his miserable existance, but for script's sake I think Chrom should be the one to take this man out. Capped Chrom makes for some real fun and games

Turn 10:

[spoiler=Post Map Notes]With all that Chloey and Chrom won the map which was a nice change of pace. 10 Turns though trying to let Severa to talk to Holland was a bit tedious, but worth it in the end. Given that now I've finished this map I suppose that means you'll have to tune in for the glorious hero of light who has travelled through time and space to join our legion of mighty warriors or the stern healer with a heart of gold...*laughs* we'll see how I go!

So that is the end of the chapter. For those who have been wonding what I've been doing I think it's only fair to give the run down. Most of this has been growing my units to the point of around 170 hours (at least by my guess) worth of grinding and leveling up with roughly 4 hours of pure story game play (again guessing). As to how I got that number, well DLC certainly is the use here. I have a rule that I grow units to about level 10 for those base classes before using a single master seal (although I'ved used more than that on Chloey) on their last base class to the bottom most class of their promotion list. Using Sumia as an example:

Sumia has the knight and cleric reclass options. I reclassed her into a knight then a cleric. So when it came time to use a master seal on her I reclassed into the war cleric first, then reclassed into the sage class. Of course I reclassed Sumia into her other options saving her pegasus rider promotions for last (Falcon Knight being the first class that I put Sumia into before her final reclass into a dark flier), so I hope that explains what I've been up to since completing Nah's side story. And how I've been able to rack up those hours as well!!

Of course I misspelled the Kaleb I bought :/ Sorry everyone!

Side Story 5...

[spoiler=Chapter Notes]This opens up with Lissa and Lucina having a polite chat about Lissa being "around" in Lucina's future. Lissa asks what she's like and Lucina says that Lissa was warm and kind despite the dark times that they lived in. Lucina adds that Lissa's smile was a beacon of hope for others around her. Lissa states that she'd better get to work if she wants to live up to that. She then asks if she has any children and Lucina reveals that she has a son named Owain. Lissa thinks that's cute and asks Lucina what "Owain" is like. Lucina's expression here is more than enough to convince me that what "Owain" is like is either not something she wants to think about or that he's different and she doesn't know how best to cope with that difference. Lissa then goes to ask something else but then decides that it's best for her not to know.

Of course there are bandits and lo and behold there is a strange guy with Lon'qu coloured hair running around and fighting them! One goes down and then the other...well not so much. But we do find out that the young man is none other than Owain, so I guess that he seems to be alright. Of course Chrom and Chloey both look a little confused about the situation and so I would be too!

So that is the end of the chapter. Cordelia and Severa were the map heroes. Lissa got to see her son and we find out that Owain has the Mark of Naga. And Lissa cries because she's so happy. I quite like the ending and now we must travel on to get the next child...which will be a whole lot more fun with a harder map than Owain's...let the wool be made into a jumper!

[TheSilentChloey]

Side Story 13

Well I hope that my last post had the hints needed to see this one coming. Wool is of course another word for yarn...and who do we have here but Yarne...ok joking aside this will be about as fun as we can make it. This is also the chapter where galeforce, lots of movement and Chloey with her dread fighter husband tome weilding Chrom will actually have some fun. Did I mention that Chrom can use tomes? I wonder what he'd be like with galeforce?

Anyway we have to deal with a couple of issues:

1. I need to get Chrom as close to Yarne as quickly as possible so that we can just talk to him. And gain a bunny on our side

2. Chloey is all out of Mire shenanigans so I'll have to get some more as quickly as I can!

Aside from that today is a good day to get Yarne and fingers crossed he won't die on me!

Lucina and Morgan were the heroes of this map and that ladies and gentlemen is a TSC record! Next we'll have to watch out for blood and thunder and hope like all heck that all will continue to go well. In other news Morgan has someone he can S-Support with...but I think I'd rather that he stay friends with this one. I'm going for a different Morgan pairing, one that I used in my first playthrough.

Lissa and Lon'qu are the heroes of this map and now we have Noire. Next we'll pick up someone who didn't want to follow in their mother's footsteps too much...and that's all for tonight folks!

[TheSilentChloey]

So after what has been a lot of effort and though I have decided that for the sake of all that is holy I am going to update with another part of the playthrough. And Vaike is now a hero after much level growth and Maribelle growing a lot more as well. Brady won't be top of the pack like Lucina, but Severa will have her training partner at last. So yes I am going for Brady.

[spoiler=Chloey's Awakening Rules]Now I know that a lot of people who may or may not be following my plathrough will be asking questions. And I have some important answers for you all as well. A lot of people are probably guessing at classes etc but I'll lay it out here so we're all on the same page. This simply ties into my personal rules for Fire Emblem Awakening. Here is the list of rules that I have for myself I've found:

1~Only use a master seal once. Second seal as much as you like to get all base classes before going to a promoted class

2~Chrom and his wife take second and master seal priority, everyone else must wait

3~Achieve S-Rank as fast as possible

4~DO NOT MARRY CHROM TO SUMIA in any playthrough

5~Try not to have anyone (allies included) die

6~Anyone on spotpass who says "You'd better run!" must be fought and killed by the Avatar, Chrom, Lucina or Morgan.

7~Always marry MaMu to Lucina

8~DLC is your best friend

9~Always go cavalier for characters that can to pick up discipline

10~Everyone who can get galeforce must have said skill learnt/equiped

So this is how I playing currently. I will be doing a normal classic run in the future if and when I stop losing units on DLC, the main game and risen skirmishes (not happening unless I can improve). Then and only then will I go to hard mode...and that will be a different Chloey by that time. At least I hope so.

[spoiler=Story notes]So I have deicded that Brady will get pass and galeforce. Given that there was not straight answer and because a healer might need pass to escape their enemies, which of course can help them get saved in the long run.
Nice to see what fun I can have with those then

And now the moment we have all been waiting for another chapter of the Chloey Fails Run of Fire Emblem Awakening...maybe this is going to be a very scientific discovery to see if my strategy holds up!

[spoiler=Enter the Desert Oaisis]So Chrom and the Shepherds are travelling through what is a desert. He has heard rumours of a mirage village and wishes to investigate the claims that such a village exists. Of course Chrom recives a few words of wisdom from the old man with whom he is speaking with to be careful as there are "armed barbarians about" and that we must be well prepared for what lies ahead.

Side Story 8...

That's right, I'm getting Kjelle today. Given that it's Morgan's birthday today I thought that I would go for as many of the other children as I can, so we'll see how I do.

[spoiler=Story Notes]Simply put this is Kjelle doing too much in this chapter but it's not the first time that she is.

Side Story 6:

[spoiler=Story Notes]We open this story with Chloey funnily enough and well...this is the result:

Suffice to say she is uncomfortable about it. Olivia proves to be a life saver giving Chloey a much needed drink of water. Of course Olivia stats that she "flails around and pretends to dance" and Chloey corrects her stating that Olivia's dancing "never fails" to cheer up other people. Chloey of course doesn't get to long with Olivia as Chrom appears and states that the bandit's camp is close.

We then cut to a young man who kills off a bandit and tells a young maiden that all is well. Of course this young man is almost as bad as Virion when it comes to girls and frankly I don't even want to say I would be quite happy to pull him along by his ear like Misty would do with Brock (for those of you that have seen the original series of Pokémon). So suffice to say I'm not a fan of Inigo and I tend to bench the guy in most if not ALL playthroughs that I have done, much like I've benched Olivia before she actually got scarily useful with astra and galeforce...

Map end and Virion and Cherche were the Heroes. Next map will be a Chloey solo. That is litterally the goal now!

And that is that. Of course there will be some training that will be needed before we go onto the next child, who if you've done the plotting, you should easily be able to tell who is left out. That said I am pretty sure that a certain someone will be benched again...I did mention that I don't like flirts right...?

Edited May 7, 2016 by TheSilentChloey

[TheSilentChloey]

Today is a day of nothing but training and skill grinding. I am aiming for dual support + and bowbreaker...

[TheSilentChloey]

And now the moment we've all been anxiously waiting for. The last child of the children that need to be picked up! The level grinding up to this point has been the bane of my existence right about now, but I will have all of the children!! And deathless for the first time ever! At least that's the plan... So without further ado here we go into Side Story 11.

[spoiler=Story Notes]We open to a man telling others to get new recruits and an old man tells him to stop what he's doing. The man kills the old man and orders his gang to murder the rest of the people.

A villager runs into a young man with Virion like hair and begs the blue haired man to help them. Mr Blue hair says "No". And the Villager's forced to run on in search of help. He comes to the shepherds and Chrom stats that he'll help them and the man sings praises. Hopefully I won't let them down!

And now we go on to the main story again

[TheSilentChloey]

Today we go on to the next chapter in Fire Emblem Awakening. This is going to be one hell of a ride. Let's see how well I get on this time.

[spoiler=Story Notes]So after all of the gathering of children we at last arrive at Valm Harbour, which is well protected against intruders. While Chrom suggests that we prepare for battle, Frederick notices that a woman is being chased down by the Valmese. So we must prepare for battle...

And that's Chapter 15 done!

[TheSilentChloey]

I made an achievement yesterday with Future Past/Future of Despair being completed deathless I did have to restart the last map a three times though, but I managed to get it done!! I certainly didn't expect the fun of saying that I finally finished it! And that was/has been one of the tougher maps to complete for me!

[TheSilentChloey]

So at long last I am doing chapter 16. Given that I haven't had much fun with this chapter before we shall see how my rapid kill/defensive strategy works out. And because I've been doing a few things in between chapters (namely training units to either catch up or get into their final classes) and I can say that I have no fewer than 50 units in the Shepherds, most of them being spotpass units and not guest avatars. So given this fact I have a lot of game time and the renown is the highest I have ever seen. I should keep this file because it's going to be very useful.

[spoiler=Story Notes]So after last time with the desperate attempt to get units up to scratch we now have what I would call the shepherds' absolute A team. That A team is a certain blue-haired prince/Exalt and his family (all of whom are going to be very OP when we get to Grima).

Opps I went off kilter again didn't I *snorts*. Alright, alright. Here is the fun.

So after fighting at Valm harbour the shepherds arrived at what is the Mila Tree. Of course the Valmese have the route to the shrine blocked out and as Chrom aptly points out, we have to break our way in...and we're going to pick up another shepherd...sorta down the line. Which reminds me that when we get to Grima there is going to be hell to pay because I'm going to have so many shepherds to manage...Oh god help me!

~Moved Libra/Olivia 1 square up

~Moved Chloey/Chrom 1 square right 5 squares up to have Chloey end the map!

And now I must recover from steamrolling the map O.O

Chapter 17: Inexorable Death

[spoiler=Story Notes]So after defeating the commander at the Mila Tree we now have to somehow break into a fort. Which according to Flavia is easier said than done. Say'ri has the right idea about making a swift strike at them, and I'm going to try and do the impossible. At least...I want to try and end this map as swiftly as possible. I'm thinking that this will be a Mother and daughter duo of a map finisher. If it works!! However this is also the only other boots that I can get so...suffice to say that this isn't going to end well...

Meanwhile the Heroes of the map are Maribelle and Vaike...how surprising. Not really though!

[spoiler=Story Notes...]And now here comes the point where I pat myself on the back for completing a deathless map. However there is yet more to discuss. The Resistence has now turned on us. How surprising :/ All I know is that a good number of our troops have turned on us as well apparently and given the situation there is little that we can do and if you've all played this chapter you know full well where this is going.

Basilio decides to head the force that will distact Walhart while the shepherds take on Yen'fey. It's no easy task that's up ahead...and I hate chapter 18s map...it'll be a nightmare for all of my healers. Also did not enjoyi watching Basilio fall...that was horrible.

And so that's another map done and dusted!

[TheSilentChloey]

Chapter 17: The Demon's Ingle

[spoiler=Story Notes]So Now we have to face Yen'fay in battle and to be perfectly honest I don't know which is worse at the moment. That Say'ri is underleveled or that Chloey and Chrom can solo a map.

Given that the last chapter was interesting to say the least, I do believe that it's tiime for some antics for this map. Especially since this is the map where hurt we'll get if we don't get it done fast. This is also the point where I mention that I'm going to have to really get used to my weapons being fragile again.

Yeah that's right, we're getting Tiki this time....

[spoiler=Story Notes]This is what I call the catnip place because everyone wants to go to sleep and relax (namely Chrom, Lissa and Lucina). And Tiki has to gather her power so she won't be able to anything to protect herself...

Chapter 19:

That's right we're going after Walhart. This is going to either be really short or take forever...and if there was a time to "low man" it would be this chapter.

[spoiler=Story Notes]So we're now going after Walhart as I've already stated but by god this is where the story gets annoying.

So Walhart is a complete fool, litterally. Knowing that the Ylisseans were weakened after facing Yen'fay it would have been a perfect time to strike, but no he doesn't hit them while their down, he shrinks back to the capitol of Valm to regroup, giving us ample time to work out his weakness and end him. However that said this will not be an easy map in the slightest. Ugh now watch them fall flies...the enemy of course...because their tactician seems to not have noticed that we can 1 shot Walhart and his men...maybe?

[spoiler=Tactician's Notes and Comments]This is the map where there are not only powerful enemies but reinforcements, so I willl have to be careful. Usually I'd just say who I'm deploying for the mission and not much else, but this needs to be said. This is another point where my units could be in trouble (much like chapter 5 with Ricken wanting to die and chapter 7 where Cordelia bit the dust and made me fail what had up to that point been a perfect run for me). This could result in deaths, not of Chloey and Chrom because those two are limitbroken and in their final classes with the best skill set I could possibly have. This will be the most surgical hit I've had to make yet, not counting DLC ginding that was to get to this particular point. So now we go to our all important slice of notes, who is being deployed:

~Chrom (Great Lord)

~Chloey (Sorcerer)

~Lucina (Sorcerer)

~Caleb (Sorcerer and Lucina's Training Buddy)

~Morgan (Sorcerer)

~Noire (Assassin)

~Lissa (Bride)

~Lon'qu (Trickster)

And that's all, Lissa might be in a spot of trouble, but I won't leave her too defenseless (hence Lon'qu being there to support her and carry some staves because we're going to need them...dear god this is going to be brutal...

I moved Lon'qu to start near Lissa because he was too far away

Turn 1

~Pair up Chrom with Chloey

~Pair up Caleb with Lucina

~Pair up Noire with Morgan

~Pair up Lon'qu with Lissa

~Moved Chloey/Chrom up 3 suqares

~Moved Lucina/Caleb up 3 squares

~Moved Morgan/Noire 6 squares up

~Moved Lissa/Lon'qu 4 squares up

~Moved Chloey/Chrom 2 squares up 2 squares left 1 square up

~Moved Lucina/Caleb 2 squares up 4 squares left

~Moved Morgan/Noire 1 square up and equiped Nosferatu. Morgan said that Noire is so attractive that he can barely focus on his studies and Noire tells him that he's the real catch

Of course this is the point that the enemy actually rather foolishly goes for Lucina/Caleb and failing the ability to reach the young couple, go for the limit broken Chloey/Chrom pair, and that is instant death. Failing to kill Chloey/Chrom they then turn to Morgan/Noire which is a 1 hit kill for Morgan. Lissa and Lon'qu are very much safe out of the enemies' range. Of course I think this is also the point where I enjoy noticing that I may actually have a chance to beat the reinforcements this time...YAY!! This is also the enemy phase with Ignus triggers, critical hits and 1 shots. With no partners required, but their support is very much needed.

Turn 2:

~Moved Lissa/Lon'qu 1 square right

~Moved Lissa/Lon'qu 4 squares left (Lonnie makes a "Nice save!")

~Moved Morgan/Noire 3 squares up

~Moved Morgan/Noire 6 squares right

~Moved Lucina/Caleb 6 squares left

~Moved Lucina/Caleb 3 squares left equiped Nosferatu

~Moved Chloey/Chrom 4 squares up 4 squares left

~Moved Chloey/Chrom 4 squares up

This is where Morgan and doubtless Chloey will grab the most from the enemy's attention as they are deeper in range than Lucina or Lissa. And this is for good reason. I kinda want to see Chloey and Morgan take the map...or Chloey and Chrom because those two have earn it. And it'll be all the more fun when Chrom takes out Walhart not just once but twice. And this is the phase of Critical hits and procs. And Chloey taking out a bow knight with a critical Ignus, and Morgan following suit on a Valmese paladin because being like Mum is awesome!

Turn 3:

~Moved Morgan/Noire 6 squares up

~Moved Chloey/Chrom 5 squares right 2 squares up

~Moved Chloey/Chrom 2 squares right switched for a Chrom lead to take out Walhart with an unexpected dual strike from Chloey to seal an injury less win

The heroes of this map are Morgan and Noire which is unsurprising as they took on the most enemies

And that is that, now onto chapter 20...oh dear lord help me!

And Chloey and Chrom win the map...

And now onto chapter 21...this is going to be dicey I bet...

[TheSilentChloey]

So after a trip to the baracks (and Owain telling me his sword hand comes alive with the moonlight), I do a spot of shopping with a couple of Anna's sisters (and get a few juicy items to boot), take on some risen using the auto battle feature with the sheperd's Beta Training team all of whom are either Streetpass Avatars that I'm not using or DLC characters that I've picked up and done yet more shopping. Once I'd finished shopping from a passing avatar, I then went after yet more risen using the Beta team.

Now with all of that out of the way, it's time at last to dip into chapter 21...and I hate this chapter...

[spoiler=Story Notes]So the Shepherds have recived word that Validar knows that they're looking for more gemstones to complete the Fire Emblem and Validar offers rather kindly to give Sable to them. However as we already have guessed there is a catch, Validar has plans to get the Fire Emblem using none other than Chloey?!

[spoiler=Extra Story Notes]So if getting past the enemy wasn't easy but we did it...however it seems that Validar doesn't like loosing and uses none other than Chloey to take the Fire Emblem from a weakened Chrom. Lucina realising what might have happened in her timeline then does something I would call stupid.

She thinks that for the sake of the world it's best to kill her own mother. Of course she can't do it because she loves her mother too much. It's a scene that I difinately do not like. But it has to be covered of course...and we have to now focus on killing Validar...which won't be easy

And now with this chapter complete it is time to go onto chapter 22...and I think I'm going to be out for a while...

[TheSilentChloey]

Chapter 22...

It's now time to do the next chapter in my Awakening playthough, and oh boy is it going to be an interesting chapter.

[spoiler=Story Notes]So Chrom and the Shepherds are travelling to the Dragon's Table and frm what they can see, all of the Plegians are acting wierd. No worries though because this is going to be easy...or is it? I mean we have to beat Aversa up and that should be a walk in the park right?
