Ask to Join Fire Emblem: Arcane Stones

Fen thought about what Shard had said to him. "Oh yeah you're right, Shay's strike did seem more accurate than usual when he finished off that fighters with you earlier." He said.

Rona and Shay both moved closer to Fen and are now at the edge of enemy range. "Watch out Lord Fen, The enemies are approaching." Rona said.

Enemy' Turn

The assassins moved closer to Fen's group. One of the archer was now in Rona's range.

Fen's Turn
Rona moved in front of Shay and picked up her bow and shot at the archer. Shay then followed up and took out the archer with a stab of his spear.

"It seems that standing nearby a friend in combat has statistical and tactical advantages." Shard observed. "I would advise we attempt to pair up as much as possible." Moving in front of Shawn, Shard blasted a Fire attack at one of the enemy fighters.
 
The fire trike did major damage, Shawn the followed up with a sword slash and took the fighter out.
Fen approached the other archer who was close to him. "Hey, Shard, I forgot to mention I'm a Kitsune, meaning I fight by using beaststones to turn into a fox." He said as he initiated battle with the archer, he flipped in the air and turned into a fox as he landed and attacked the archer with its claws, he then did a follow up attack and took out the archer with its tail.

"Huh, that's pretty cool!" Shard replied. "I didn't know there were people who could transform using stones like that. There must be a ton of different weapons out there that all do different things!"
 
Shawn moved behind Fen

Enemy's Turn
On of the mercenaries moved in on Fen and initiated battle with him. He charged forward and slashed with his sword but Fen dodged, Fen then counterattacked with a claw slash and Shawn followed with a slash of her own and took out the mercenary.

Fen's Turn
Shay moved into range of the other mercenary with Rona behind him, Fen did the same with the last fighter with Shawn behind him.
 
Shard decided to cover Fen, running up in front of him and using his Fire tome. "Try this on for size!" he shouted, firing off a much larger blast of fire than usual.
 
The larger fire ball hit the fighter and took him out in one shot. Fen look at Shard from behind. "You know, for someone who don't remember anything you sure do know how to fight." He said.

Enemy's Turn
The last mercenary went up to Shay and initiated battle with him, the mercenary hit Shay with his swing but did minimal damage. Shay then counter attacked and defeated the mercenary.
Dan moved forward a bit.

Fen's Turn
 
"I... instinct, I guess?" Shard stated. He then ran over to the nearest foe and fired off another Fire attack. "Looks like we're almost done here!" he said with a smile.
 
Shard initiated battle with Dan. "Don't take this personally, I'm just doing business." He said. Dan was hit by the fire but didn't too much damage. He then shot his bow at Shard and followed it up with another shot.
 
Shard dodged one arrow, but was hit in the shoulder by the other. "Urgh! Damn, got careless..." Shard then gripped his shoulder with one hand. "Wait, he has a bow. If someone can get in close and attack like that, he won't be able to hit them!"
 
"I'll take care of it." Shawn said before moving in front of Shard and initiated battle with Dan. "What are you doing Shawn? Our job is to kill these people not help them!" Dan shouted. "I'm sorry Dan but you have been corrupted by greed, you don't even think about morals anymore." She responded. "Fine, I'll just kill you too!" Dan shouted. "It's been fun Dan." Shawn said before readying her sword. She popped a critical. "Get out of my way!" She shouted before hitting Dan and taking him out. "Argh... all those riches I could have gotten." He said with his dying breath.

Victory
Heroes: Shard and Shawn
 
"Whew... That was pretty intense." Shard said with a sigh, letting himself relax. "I'm glad you're okay, Fen. Those people were pretty dangerous. Imagine invading a castle secretly to kill a prince...!"
 
Fen looked at Shard and chuckled. "Yeah, but that's nothing me and my retainers can't take care of." He said. He then walked towards the door. "We better go tell the guards about this, don't want them to suddenly find a few bodies laying around when they come in." He said as he walked out.
 
"Alright." Shard replied. Before he could, though, he heard some sort of commotion. "Huh? Sounds like something's happening out where your father is..."
Walking outside the dining hall, Shard saw a messenger kneeled in front of the king as the royal court watched on.
"Prince Carnel... my son... CAPTURED by those Denzian dogs?!" the king exclaimed in rage.
"Yes, my liege." the messenger replied. "This news was brought to us at a great price. Lady Lily gave this information to one of my fellows in a note before being captured by some unknown force. The note was passed on to me. Read it if you wish, my liege."
The king took the note and read it. "This is the crest with its true meaning known only by the royal court and their trusted protectors... it's genuine. We must send a rescue party at once!"
"But sire! Practically all of our troops left with Prince Carnel!" the royal advisor told the lord. "We don't have anyone to send."
"Fine then... I'll go myself!" the king said, preparing to storm out of the room.
"No, you need to stay here. If you were captured, then Denzer would get exactly what they want, right?" Shard spoke up, shocking everyone. "Besides, we have a small party of strong fighters. I'm a mage, even if I'm not sure how. That girl..." he gestured towards Shawn "...is a good fighter now on our side. Prince Fen's retainers are strong warriors on their own, and Prince Fen can use a Beaststone-"
"Are you suggesting I send another one of my children to the battlefield?!" the king shouted, startling everyone. The king then backed down, softening his face. "...I'm sorry I shouted at you, lad. I just... I'm not prepared to send another one of my children off and possibly never see them again. I've already lost my queen, and Carnel's in great danger, I just..."
 
Fen clenched his fists behind Shard while looking down with a grim expression until he suddenly looked up with a determined look and stepped in front of Shard. "Dad, let me go get Carnel back! I have had enough of doing nothing while my brother and countless other soldiers are out there risking their lives for our kingdom!" He said with determination. "I know this is extremely risky and I don't want to worry you more but we don't have many other options right now, we have no idea what condition the other two kingdoms are in right now or if they will help us or not." Fen continued. "Please dad, I want Carnel back as much as you do."
 
"I..." The king sighed, clutching his head. "What's your name, young man?"
"...Shard. My name is Shard." the mage said.
"Shard, make sure my sons come back alive." the king ordered. "And with that, I will give you my blessings to go to war. Lady Rona! Sir Shay! Keep watch over my son, no matter what."
"My lord, what if we recruited that thief?" the royal adviser asked. "He might be willing to help."
"You mean that Yacker whelp?" the king replied. He then thought for a moment. "Very well. Have him brought here. Prince Fen and I will decide whether or not he should come along. ...and the same goes for the little assassin there." The king glared at Shawn. The guards then pointed her lances towards her.
"Wait, wait!" Shard exclaimed, getting in the way. "She helped us out. She helped protect your son, even going against her former allies."
"...is this true?" he asked Fen.
 
Shay and Rona got on one knee and bowed. "Yes your highness." They said in unison.

Fen moved in front of Shawn and signaled the guards to step back. "Yeah it true, she helped us defeat the assassins." Fen explained. "She was against the assassination attempt in the first place."
 
"...then if it's fine with you, I see no problem in having her join with you. After all, the more troops on your team the better. Fen! Head down to the dungeons." The king ordered. "There's an outlaw there named Yacker. I want you to decide whether or not you want him to join your team."
 
Fen looked at his dad. "Alright dad, I'll head there right now and then we'll depart." He said before turning around and started walking towards the dungeon. "Come on guys."
 
In the dungeons, Yacker was waiting. Waiting for his fate to come. He knew that a lot of things he had done were wrong. So he hadn't even tried to deny it all. He hadn't been in the dungeon too long. Not long enough to forget what it was like outside. He heard someone coming. He wondered if it was the guards, ready to execute him. Or whatever. He didn't care. He waited. They started to come into view. He watched as they came into view. He didn't even look at them.
 
Fen walked down the stairs to the dungeon. He arrived in front of Yacker's cell. Rona moved up behind him. "That's him, Yacker. Our guards caught him when they found him trying to steal from the castle." Rona explained. She then stood strait and stared down at Yacker. "You are now in presence of Prince Fen." She declared. Fen walked closer to the bars. "Hey there, wanna come along our journey? We're going to save my brother Carnel from the Denzians." She asked.
 
"Hmph." Yacker looked at the prince, he sighed and said "Hmph. Why I realize the chance to redeem myself. I gotta ask... WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU TRUST ME!? EVEN A LITTLE!?" He shouted a little. and said "Sorry. Got mad. But yea. I'll help, Just gotta say though, I was pretty desperate to even THINK about trying to steal from this place. Just saying." He stood up. and smirked. and then said "And to be honest. I don't really regret it. I would've died without the stuff I attempted to take."
 
Fen smiled as he listened to Yacker. "Great, welcome aboard. Rona, open the cell." He ordered. "And I can't really say since I've never been in that kind of situation but it must be hard to live as an outlaw, stealing to survive." He said. "But don't worry, if you help us save my brother, I'll ask dad to give you anything you want as long as its not too outrageous." Fen said.
 
Yacker stared at the prince. Confused. and said "Prince. I know you mean well. But why the heck are you trusting ME!? An outlaw who tried to steal from the castle?!" he crossed his arms, clearly worried that this prince might not be thinking things through. he sighed, and stood up straight. and said "But. If you truly need me to help. I'll need a Bow as well as a quiver full of arrows. Is that okay for now?"
 
"Hey, I don't judge someone before getting to know them." He answered to Yacker asking why he's trusting him. "And about your weapon, Shay should have that covered." He said as Shay ran down up to Fen from around the corner holding an Iron Bow. "Here's the thief's old bow, I dug it up from the back of the dungeon like you asked my lord." He explained. "Good job Shay, now you're all set." He said as he handed Yacker his weapon.
 
Yacker smiled as he took his weapon, he said
"Ah, this old bow takes me back. Back to the old days with my gang." he looked at the wall of his cell, where had noted down all of his gang members. he looked at the prince. and said "Ah. I probably should put this on my back." he strapped it to his back. "Thanks for trusting me." He said.
 
"Are we ready to go, Prince Fen?" Shard asked, coming up. "Because I'm ready to head out when you are."
"I'll escort you to the Castle Town, milord." one of the guards said, saluting. "King's orders."
 
Fen smiled at Yacker before he turned back to look at Shard and nodded with a determined expression on his face. "Yes we are." He then looked at the guard who said he'll escort them to castle town. "Alright, lead the way." Fen said.
 
The guard nodded. The group then walked out of the dungeon, their party assembled.
End Chapter 1


Chapter 2: Sheep in Wolf's Clothing

Shard was walking through the Castle Town with the rest of the group.
"Wow. This place really is fantastic." Shard said to himself. "So many shops, so many people... huh?" Someone then caught Shard's eye - someone trying to remain hidden. The man walked away. Shard was suspicious, so he decided to walk over in his direction.
He then just barely stepped out of the way of a knife flying past his head.
"Whoa!"
(@Takumeme666420 it's time for Magnus)
 
The suspicious man’s walk escalated into sprint as he narrowly escaped the knife that almost hit Shard. He pulled his hood over his head and whistled. Out of nowhere, a Wyvern flew over the tops of the buildings and landed in front of the man.

He pulled an Steel Axe out from underneath his cloak as he lept onto the small dragon. An Assassin ran towards him yelling,”Magnus! You traitor!”

Magnus, the suspicious man swung his axe at the assassin as his Wyvern took flight. The assassin was knocked to the ground. Magnus yelled from the skies,” Denzer has no a honor anymore, they lost it all when they blatantly attacked Centai!”

The assassin died as more assassins spilled into the town, citizens rushed out of the town as fast as possible.
 
Fen ran up behind Shard and watched Magnus call his Wyvern and kill the assassin. "More Assassins?" He shouted. Shay and Rona ran up behind him. "I thought we were done with assassination attempts but I guess I was wrong." Shay joked. "Shay, this is no time for jokes." Rona responded. Fen then looked at Shard. "Hey are you alright Shard?" He asked.
 
"I'm fine. I got out of the way in time - didn't even graze me." Shard said. "Looks like we're getting to see Yacker's combat prowess sooner than later. Any idea why Denzian assassins would be here? And who that is?" Shard pointed to the man on the wyvern.
 
Magnus’s Wyvern took steep dive back to the ground. The beast grabbed an assassin with its mouth and swung it violently. Magnus noticed a group of Centai soldiers had entered the battle. Now’s my chance, Magnus thought.

He called out to the group of arriving soldiers,” Take them down! They should retreat if there captain falls in battle!”

He flew over to the soldiers and stated,” Denzer is running low on assassins since their last attempt, they’ll fight sparingly.”
 
Fen listened to Magnus' words. "Alright guys, let's take out their captain." He said. Rona ran up to Fen. "Milord, are you actually believing anything this hooligan is saying?" She asked. "Our priority right now is to ensure none of the town people are safe, that man on the Wyvern doesn't seem to be a threat to us so we should focus on the main threats." Fen explained. "He also seem to know about the Denzians so I think we should do what he suggested for now, we can question him later." Fen added. Rona nodded. "Yes Milord." she responded.
 
"Then let's move!" Shard said.

Six thieves advanced towards Shard and company. The stole from buildings as they ran, one picked up an iron lance, while another found an elixir.

A Knight advanced towards Magnus, slowly but surely. A Mercenary followed.

An Assassin sat towards the back of the group.

A mage ran towards bYacker

The second archer ran towards Shard.

Ally’s Turn
Magnus flew towards the knight and swung his axe down into his armor, barely piercing it.

The knight countered back and with spear jab, which bounced of the Wyvern’s thick hide. “I’m done with you,” Magnus yelled as combat ended.
Heroes’ Turn
 
Shard decided the tackle the archer head-on, running right up next to him so that he couldn't use his bow. Shard then took out his Fire book and launched a blast of flames straight at his chest.
 
Yacker stepped towards the Mage just in range to attack the mage. He engaged in combat with the mage. He said
"Time to get serious!" He drew his bow back a little harder, did a fancy flip, and fired mid-flip. Critical hit. It defeated the mage in a single hit. Yacker said "That wasn't even hard."
