Field: Pastoria Great Marsh Music: here Team Details: here

Gold didn't even register what the announcer was saying as he walked onto his side of the field. His mind was elsewhere, expression an uncharacteristic frown as his thoughts strayed to Green, to Vee, to his last battle and what had happened at the end of it.

He'd won. People were supposed to be happy when they won. Gold had lost many battles before, but that had never felt as bad as yesterday's victory. Everything was wrong. This wasn't fun anymore.

The field was revealed and the countdown started, and Gold reached for his pokéballs. His hand brushed against Bubbles' ball and lingered there for a moment. She'd be the perfect choice for a marsh field such as this...

He made his choice, plucking two balls off his belt and tossing them onto the field. There was a bright flash of light and Scarlet materialised, her unusual iridescent red scales glinting menacingly in the sun as she stared down the Togetic and Minun their opponent just sent out. On a spot of solid ground next to her, Twigsy appeared.

As tempted as he was to just quit the fight, he owed it to Green, and his team, to do his best, and do his best he would.

The music started, and with it the battle. Gold's opponent gave her instructions, but Gold paid her no mind, focussed on his own commands instead. "Twigsy, Bulldoze and Earthquake on the ground! Scarlet, Waterfall!"

The Sudowoodo obeyed without hesitation, lifting one foot and bringing it down, making the earth shake and vibrate with the force of the impact. His Gyarados teammate lifted herself up off the ground just in time not to feel the effects of the attack as it spread through the entire field.

Neither move would do much damage on such a muddy field, but damage wasn't Gold's intention. Instead the landscape of the field began to change. Its power enhanced by the Earthquake, allowing it to reach much farther, much deeper than it normally would, the Bulldoze compressed the earth, solidified it. All moisture was squeezed from the mud like water from a sponge, gathering on the surface while the earth beneath rearranged itself into solid ground.

Instead of flooding the field though, the water rose into the air in giant pillars as if being sucked up by an invisible force. Three, no five- nine such fountains soon erupted all over the field as the red Gyarados acted on her trainer's order, one even catching the opponent Minun off guard and sending them flying up into the sky.

Sure, Bubbles' mastery over water moves may have been impressive, but the Furret was no water type. Scarlet was, and her control over the element was only strengthened by the Mystic Water pendant around her neck.

With the water now trapped in a cycle of being lifted up and then falling back down only to start anew for as long as the Waterfall move was active, her work was almost done. Both the newly solidified floor and her teammate would stay dry as long as she kept up the move.

With a mighty roar to augment her performance, she focussed on the pendant around her neck, relinquishing control over the move until the energy contained in the Mystic Water, normally only used to enhance, was the only thing powering the Waterfall, giving the Gyarados free rein to act without having to concentrate on holding up the fountains.

Anankos looked at Leo with a cute grin. One that also held a sinister air to it. Sister? BAH! As if they were truly ‘siblings’ anyway. If anything, they were all pawns of his chessboard. Not even Death could save the pieces. “Dear ‘brother’, nothing has gotten into me. 

“At least, that’s what your ‘dear sister’ would say, wouldn’t she? I can hear her screaming for you to run. It’s rather cute~. She failed to protect you, and here you are, standing in front of me as if you are starstruck. I thought you would’ve been smarter about this. Aren’t you the ‘prized prince of Nohr’?”

The condescending tone in her voice signaled immediately that something was wrong. That Corrin was not in her right state of mind - if it even was Corrin. The wording. What she was saying. It just didn’t sound like her. and the next few things that came out of her mouth only confirmed his suspicions.

“What are you? Why do you hold my sister captive?”

The caw of a crow echoed through the forest. Henry perked up, stretching out his free hand, the other grasping an open tome. The crow landed on his hand, staring unblinkingly into the dark mage’s eyes. Henry’s grin grew wide. “Crowzer, found something interesting?” Crowzer flapped his wings, giving Henry a soft rattle. The dark mage gently ran his finger over the crow’s feathers, listening to his companion’s ‘words’.

Once Crowzer’s chitters finished, Henry bounced his hand, setting the crow aloft to the air once again. This time though, Henry followed Crowzer’s flight through the forest, eventually spotting what the crow had found.

A skirmish.

Henry laughed in delight, thumbing through his tome and sending a low level Flux crashing into this realm’s equivalent to the Risen. He walked straight into the middle of the battlefield, the sounds of wings beating as his murder of crows tailed behind him. “Heyo! Need a little bit of help over here?“

Once more, Reynold had planned to head out upon their daily dive about the Astral Plane. Finding Castles had become a rather pleasant diversion from his training regiment and sometimes a boon to it. Seeing as while resources given freely were never turned away, there was one place he always sought to visit in the Castle of others.

The Arena.

Put “top 3” Fire Emblem related questions in my ask and I will answer.

-Outpost Rescue, one of the Echoes DLC with the RGB trio, it was beautiful. All the early Deliverance maps are.

-Does the last map in Heirs of Fates count? Where they fight the shadows of their fathers? I like that one.

Backstage where all the contestants were to go through before they could exit the arena is where Wallace knew he would find one of them after her disastrous fall into the pool. His heels click loudly to announce his presence as he makes his way into the darkness, flipping a switch on - It seemed like most people had left already, but there was one exception.

The contestant who had fallen into the pool for a moment - Not dear Shauna for falling in and narrowly getting out, but her dip into the water had not gone unnoticed.

      IT was merely another night of tears -- not that it occurred often nowadays. The thought of home was simply enough to bring him to tears after awhile.
