Fire Emblem Path of Radiance. My set up here was crazy. An ancient Daen Prince. Half Beorc (Human) and Laguz(Wolf) I and a few others left Daen and moved to Serene's forest and rested there. For blasted centuries at that. Mother and Father died no siblings. I was directly related to Ashnard. He was just a young cousin of mine. A crest on my hand that marked me as Daen royalty. The funny thing it was just a Sword, Lance, and an Axe.
Traveling out of Serene's forest was easy. I basically just followed a path through it. I was trying my best to not run into someone. But that was just not gonna happen. My blasted Soul power was messing with my direction sense. My partner was not helping in the least.
"Over there Azul." Said Agria pointing. I should have known she would be the one to find it. Pulling in her Heron wings she stared back at me expectantly.
"Ok.. ok. I am coming." Just my luck Kasumi decided to go with the other group. Walking up we came across the Heron Leanne, sticking my hand out I communicated with the forest letting it know I was not gonna hurt the child. I was gonna leave her right there.
After a bit of time, it agreed. I also asked if it had the corpse of a male and female of the species. If it was able to give them up, I could place them in the Nether World and possibly create more Herons in the future. It agreed. Then I received the mission.
System: Repopulate the Herons. Protect princess Leanne Rewards: those Herons will follow you as loyal retainers. Racial ability will boost the growth rate of Soul abilities.
"I accept. Of course there would be a catch." I watched as the trees part and Leanne was free. I looked to Agria. "She is your responsibility. Be careful though, normal Herons dont fight. See if you can cast something on her to hide her wings." Looking around I watched as a few corpses of the race appeared. Encircling them in my biotics I cleansed them and watched the remnants of their souls flow towards me. Absorbing them all, I sent them all to my NetherWorld to strengthen.
I didnt know Agria was watching everything I did. Hearing a noise I heard a spell get cast. Turning sharply I was surprised that she casted it on Leanne, not a spell to hid her wings but something else instead. Agria approached me slowly and very focused.
"What is it?" It better not be anymore of that crap she pulled before.
"Are you not attracted to her?" She said pointing behind her.
"Her. Hell no. She is a child who do you take me for?" I looked at her like she lost it. 'What all happened while I was training. Did something happen In Warhammer?'
"Age is nothing to men in power." Agria said this a little accusingly. I would have been offended but her biotic strands were so hectic. In a dash I grabbed and hugged her. "You could take on so many others. Why not do it?"
"I have done you a grave disservice. I have forgotten you were from a monastery before everything happened. You were one of the first to come with me and change your whole world. I need to remedy that. Tell me how I can help you?"
Agria waited for a while then leaned back at me. She stared deep into my eyes and I could see and feel her insecureties. "Treat me like a woman. Not like a nun. Not like a battle nun or as a daughter of the emperor. Look at me the way you do the others."
"Huh I do. I was just trying to be respectful. I do fail at that a lot usually. Considering your vows I tried to be at least mindful of that." I then remember that kiss. "Considering the way you kised me, I have no idea what the hell you are thinking most times."
"My vows? Haa haa haha. That is hilarious." Agria started to control her laughter when she saw my face. "You havent read my charter for my sisterhood have you?"
"No. You are in charge of that. Is there something I am missing?" She completely disregard the kiss statement.
"We are allowed pleasures of the flesh. Back in my home world we were allowed husbands as well."
"Well ok."
"You are not understanding." Agria shook her head. "On paper we are daughters of the Emperor. But we are technically married to you. That is how Galtea set it up. You not knowing is funny but good."
"How is that good?"
"It means you have seen us as a means for your job to get done. That is very rewarding in its own right. Not as sexual chattel to went your frustrations." Agria smiled happily and shook her head coming to an answer about something I didnt know about. "You are a powerful man. You will get stronger as time goes by." Wrapping her arms around my ass she pulled me close. "I want you as a man. Am I desirable enough for you? Or am I to ugly?"
"I am surrounded by beautiful women all day. You are defintely one of them." Seeing her unblinking gaze I rembered how silly I was acting. I lean in and kissed her. Seeing her unperturbed face I pulled back and did again this time using my Soul Power to help convey my feelings and thoughts to her directly. I felt it then. She had two souls inside her. Her eyes were two different colors as well. A beautiful blue and a light red.
Her eyes dilated and she held me tighter. Her wings came out in full glory and lit up Serenes forest. It felt familiar holding her. Like I had done it several times before.
"That was good. I am content now. Knowing you actually feel for me is good enough. Let us take care of this world my lord. No my Primarch." Agria smiled brightly as she pulled her wings back in. "Hmm I won the bet."
"What bet?" I was a little confused to say the least.
"The bet to make you realize how you have been acting with us all." Agria smiled. "Also with myself. If we spent a 100 years togethor would you be ok with that?"
"Well if .. no you are right." Pulling her closer I gave her a deeper kiss. I felt my Laguz blood getting restless. Letting her go I realized my tail had wrapped around her. "Agria.. just rember you opened this door between us. For better or worse I wont stop. Unless you tell me to." I thought about her last question and answered truthfully. "A 100 years would be to short with you. I would want more than that. Why did you specifically designate a 100 years?"
"Mhm ok." Agria said with her cheeks flushed a little. "As long as I am getting what Mileena is getting, I won't complain." She looked at the ground taking a sudden intrest in it. "Later tonight.. I will show you something. Do not be mad at me. It is nothing bad."
"That is good to know. Grab Leanne and come with me." For the next two hours, I collected the souls of the departed Herons. There was a lot of them. Also a few others as well.
Right as we head back to the gate for the ship, Galtea made her presence known again.
Galtea: I am back Azul.
'Good timing. We just made it back inside the ship.'
Galtea: Glad you are ok.
'About as good as I ever will be. We have some herons and a few others added to the Nerher World now. As well a new quest. Take a look.' With that I gave her access to the new mission log update. 'Oh yeah that excess power I have I want you take abortion of it.'
Galte: Alright but why..
'I need you to use it for when I am done here. I am going spend a great deal of time in Riku's world as well as finishing Mass Effect. I want to complete finish those two.' I felt it would be best to end both those. I didnt know what that would do to Final Fantasy X-2. I also didnt really care. A sense of urgency came over me to finish that place and not let it fester.
Galtea: That sounds like a plan. The other worlds timelines are a little off anyway. Warhammer defintely wont have any issues time wise. Neither will Tactics considering how you left it last. As for a few of the others you can pop in just to solve a small thing or to.
'Sounds good.' I looked to Agria who was working on something. Her biotic strands were in complete control. I couldnt read her. Only difference I notice were her eyes were red now. Both of them. 'What in the blazes is going on?'
Galtea: Alright the other's have gathered outside the ship. The ones who survived. Like you they have full control of their Laguz state. They can pass as human no problem.A portion of your points were spent explaining to them what has transpired. I spoke to them as a Goddess and told them they will be sealed away if they didnt follow you.
'Nice. Well you kind of are Goddess so your not lieing.
Galtea: Thank you. A few personal have been created from your Nether World. They have been given the soul of those you connected in the forest. So they will remain her as natural people of the world. As for their levels a good portion was spent to make them at least level two. You have 50 Destroyers as well as 50 Valkyries.
'Yeah that will do fine. With all the killing they will fo.. they should become elites quickly.' I have a let bit of thought and change something up right quick. 'Create five Heron's and five Wolf Laguz for Agria. As well as three Squures to act as attendees for me.
Galtea: Very well. Wait how bout sending Lighting to act as your personal bodyguard? She needs to get out of your Neyher World. Kasumi is also interested but she doesnt want to waste her points.
"Answer yes to both." I waited for them both to appear. I was not expecting the other suprise. Alita was completely separate from Kasumi. She looked at Agria and the to shared a look. Agria smiled and nodded.
"Good day betrothed.' Alita said walking over and biting my neck. She marked me with her scent. "There now we match."
"Yeah.. we do." I said then I rembered the time I bit her throat. Looking to Kasumi her neck was fine it healed. But when I look to Alita it was still there. "Why did you keep it?" I said running my hand along the scar. I could feel her shiver to my touch. My wolf was happy as can be.
"Because you beat. I needed it to happen. Even with out me being a dragon I still have my instincts. My wolf just need to be tamed." Alita ran her hand down my side and cut a little at my clothes. "Besudes if you disapprove I will set us free as well as try to kill you for being weak."
"Nahh, that ain't gonna fly. You are mine!" My wolf had seeped in and wanted to make sure she understood. "No take backs." She nodded and licked my face. A different spot then Mileena did.
"Alright lovebirds let's go." Lighting said with her hand next to her chin. "Or is it love puppies?"
"Pft, they are some really old puppies." Kasumi laughed as we left the ship. Those on the outside just saw the trees part. It closed up once we. arrived.
"Alright listen up." Lighting said. "We are headed to the area close to Crimea and Gallia. Our Sanctuary will remain in the forest there. Some of you will remain near it to guard. The rest will engage the enemy. They are our misguided Daen soldiers. Try to subdue them first. If they dont submit we will send them on their way to the afterlife!" The soldiers cheered happily to her. She was good at inspiring people I was learning.
"Alright another small group will help secure the Princess of Crimea." I said as the spell started to activate taking us from the forest. "Me, Kasumi, and Alita will make contact with Ike dealing with the bandits."
"Wait what about me?" Agria asked.
"I want you over seeing the Sanctuary." I felt her become a little apprehensive. "Look, I want you to talk with those Herons as well as talk with the one's that are getting reborn in the Sanctuary. You have fought a lot in Warhammer already and back in your world. Consider this a break for you. If that doesnt work consider a direct order."
"Very well. I will obey." She closed her eyes and walked off. The new guards I assigned to her following suit.
"Welp... nevermind it." I said to the others. Activating the spell fully, we were gone.
