lifeisgoodiconThis is set after Fire Emblem 8 finishes, and Seth and Eirika get married and have a nice romantic honeymoon in Port Kiris. Seth turned out quite well here. Also, it’s sunset.

Sorry for waiting a week to get caught up again. For much of this week, I was insanely sleepy for no reason, but it might have something to do with the fact that I was trying to change my sleep schedule. I first tried getting to sleep early, but I still got up at a quarter to nine. Not good enough.

Romance... with an injured soldier and a very worried princess. And a horse.

woodelvesiconThis occurs shortly after the previous picture. Seth was badly hurt, but still managed to whip around, pick up Eirika, and ride away. Valter didn’t follow.
After defeating some random bandits out to capture the princess, the two ride to the neighbouring kingdom of Frelia. Eirika’s best friend Princess Tana lives there. Ephraim’s rival Prince Innes lives there too. And that’s where Eirika’s father, King Fado, wanted her to go. So off they ride without pause through the night. The dots are stars. I rather like this picture; it’s quite good, not counting the tiny arms and hands and the terrible legs.

Eirika’s really beautiful.

It’s hard to draw Seth. He has such distinctive hair that is hard to get right.

And Eirika’s not in love with Seth. Yet.

Y’know, FE 8 has such distinctive colours (although L’Arachel’s hair is honeybrown, not green!) and the sprites (and characters) are so unique compared to the others, FE8 is really a joy to play and a wonder to behold. I love it.

Not even counting the romance!

Lances beat swords. Who will win this fight? Oh well, it's dramatic tension.

flaireavatarAha! I start a new section! Again!

Oddly enough, June 8 is the date of my grad ceremony.

This is from the very beginning of Fire Emblem 8: The Sacred Stones, which is a stand-alone in the Fire Emblem series. It follows the quest of Princess Eirika (above, left) of Renais, her twin brother Ephraim, the Commander of Renais – his name is Seth, and he’s the guy getting skewered – don’t worry, it’s not lethal – and various other folks. Eirika is a gentle soul but a great fencer, Ephraim is a super-cool lanceman, and Seth is the first Jeigan character (old, ugly, EXP hog, and useless stats) to be young, handsome, and have useful stats! He’s still an experience point hog at the beginning, but only because he begins as a powerful unit whereas Princess Eirika is level 1.

In this picture, the insane enemy general Valter Moonstone is intent on capturing the terrified princess, but dutiful Seth charges to the rescue. The swirls on the right are more wyverns – dragonlike creatures – and the smoke behind the hill is the burning of Castle Renais.

Also, this means I should start posting my super-sappy Eirika story. Here.
