Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

Sumire
The Gate, Alymere: Daybreak

The day of battle finally arrived. It hadn't been too long since Sumire scouted around the premises with the accompaniment of two others from the army. Due to her nature to easily doubt strangers, the dancer stuck with the less suspicious looking duo, whose names she had forgotten, a man with white strands and a youthful girl with short, pink hair. Now standing before the fort as an army with the intention to shed blood, the frail body of the maiden trembled with anxiety. Sumire agreed to assisting the army despite her pacific character only to provide support through her healing magic and performance to motivate those in battle. There was no need to sully her hands with blood, it was the job for the rest, and Rin would be there to provide her protection if the worst comes to the worst. Calming her breathing through deep breaths, the dancer spread her floral paper fans open in a stance. Right now, she had to concentrate in a performance to encourage the soldiers. Just dance like she always had been. The rest will handle the fighting. Breathe in, breathe out. "Rin, may this enlighten you to victory!" Sumire called out before throwing the fans outward and swinging them about in a fluttering gesture likened to a butterfly. The sleeves of her peach garment waved about in the air gracefully as the wings of a butterfly would.

Fire Emblem: Ashes of Sacrifice [Fall of the Empire]

Sumire
Outside the Inn, Garleton: Evening

The Shine spell was able to blind the bandit into knocking himself unconscious. Just as the situation seemed to be resolved, an arrow literally missed the dancer by mere a mere inch. The shock almost caused her heart to leap out but this was not the time to flinch and stay still, Sumire immediately attempted to take cover behind a post. A moment later, a loud zap noise echoed throughout the area, followed by a thud on the ground. As she peeked out from behind the post, the assailant lied still on the ground. "Hmph, don't think I owe you, this makes us even." At how dire the situation was, the pinkette had only just recalled a shattering noise of a window just above them a mere moments ago. Turning towards the source of the noise, she caught sight of her bodyguard who must now be feeling irritated at how recklessly his client ran ahead. Instead of a scolding, the silver haired male expressed his urgency to leave the area and head towards the castle with reasons unbeknownst to her. Regardless, the dancer trusted the boy's decision and nodded in agreement, "Please lead us there quickly, Rin!" However, another decided to interrupt the group but this time had the decency to speak before approaching. That decency was now nonexistent as Sumire visibly expressed how revolting it was of them to demand to strip off her precious robe. How DARE they ask an innocent maiden to take off her clothing. "Rin... Show these hooligans no mercy." Iron sword unsheathed and danced in the air, resembling a defensive stance alongside the recruit. Rin could feel inspiration running through him to make an extra move with boosted speed.

Perhaps, if things had gone differently...

Ears twitched in slight irritation as the Miqo'te parted her lips to speak once more, "A harbinger of chaos like you would never truly understand a loss of a loved one." Realizing this was not the appropriate time to be starting a quarrel, Lumina calmed her annoyance. After a meaningful pause of silence, she added, "Can one even be called a hero if she fails to save those close to her?"

A series of flashbacks plagued the Warrior of Light's mind, one of which was the time at The Vault, in the snowy lands of Ishgard. Before taking his last breath, the Elezen man who had saved the hero's life wished for a hero's smile until lying still in her arms. Another image was of the time on the Baelsar's Wall, moments before a sinister primal's summoning. Despite the protest from the Miqo'te to stay and fight along side him, the Lalafell scholar flung her into the airship with a magic spell and bid them farewell before sharing a similar fate to his master.

After a painful reminiscing of her past failures, Lumina once more attempts to recall the recent incident. As Y'shtola fell into the deep, bottle of antidote tossed to the other, she can't help but wonder what the gust of wind afterwards was. Noticing the bothered expression upon her face, the young Minfilia questioned, "You have something on your mind. What is it?" It may or may not be relevant to the problem at hand but there was no harm in sharing a doubt on her mind. The hero explained the details of the strange gust of wind after the fall with the rest.

The other Scions recognized it as the same spell the Miqo'te sorceress casted at the time they were cornered in the cave. It seems that she was still alive but to extract her out of the Lifestream proved to be a challenge as people fell silent to their thoughts once more.

Yeah I don't really have a good excuse character wise to actively join the brawl, just to evacuate and fight whatever on the way rip.

LMAO Joestar Family's secret technique. Is it what I think it is? If Joseph is the master of it then I know exactly what you meant.

Just chilling while waiting for any of my partners to post lmao. You guys have no idea how Sho bugs us to post on our mutual Discord server HAHA. It'll eventually be a thing after the prologue and we get an official server.

@Ninian

"She is alive. She is alive, damn you!" Droplets of tears ran down the well-built Ronso's face; none could utter a single word of reassurance. Each one of them deep down wanted to believe the same, but seeing the endless abyss with their own eyes was proof enough to assume anyone who even made it to the bottom in one piece would've met their demise.

"Forgive me for interrupting, but our scouts have apprehended an intruder.", a sudden voice broke the grieving silence. What followed was definitely not an interruption the Scions welcomed, especially at the current atmosphere. The Warrior of Light barely spared the Ascian a glance, merely giving a small sigh in response at his ever sarcastic behavior.

"So—what trouble have you gotten yourselves into this time?"

People present at the venue all turned to face the Miqo'te, Lumina, for an explanation of the situation. While it didn't feel it to be a necessity to inform the immortal being of their every move, the dancer obliged to answer his inquiry. Retelling the events from the time after he 'conveniently' vanished in front of The Night's Blessed, to their current predicament had taken some time but finally, she ended with, "Y'shtola, she... She entrusted me the antidote to save her comrades but... I could've reached for her, had I reacted sooner..."

Clenching her fist in utter regret, the Warrior of Light fell silent once more with her gaze upon the bottle of antidote in her hand. Though anyone who fell into the pit would definitely face death, there was something about the sudden gust of wind that bothered her...

Perhaps, if things had gone differently...

I ended up using the official art from the countdown as the WoL's face lmao

I'm actually pretty bad at giving names and moreso for races that have unique characteristics in their names so may I have the permission to just copy the first name of my in game character ;-;

Perhaps, if things had gone differently...
