Chapter 3: In Search of Truth      Chapter 5: Noble Lady of Caelin

Wow, such a difficult chapter to write. I don’t know why. But the next chapter is looking back up, possibly because LYN’S BACK LYN’S BACK also all the Sain, plz. And Kent. And Florina. And Wil. Yay. *snuggles* And I guess we pick up the Wilrina…? Is that a good ship name? I don’t know. I’m being silly. Let’s keep writing.

Talons Alight is snuck in between these two chapters, but it seriously adds no plot besides “Eubans wuz here except not really” so it’s a bit glossed over. The important part is that Florina’s pegasus sits on Hector five days later.

Chapter 4: False Friends

Ceniro was passing through the halls of Santaruz Castle, on his way to the courtyard to meet the rest of his group, averting his eyes from all the strange people around him, when he heard a cough.

“Ceniro.”

He turned and looked around in confusion, but only saw a guard in Santaruz colours. He blinked at him, and then his eyes widened in realization. Continue reading →

Chapter 2: Bird of a Feather      Chapter 4: False Friends

Will start the next chapter, but probably won’t finish it until tomorrow. Still, we’re trucking along, here. And I am going through way too much chocolate. XD (Oh Cadbury, you are both delicious and affordable.) Also roasted seaweed. (mmmmm.)

Despite the battle being a pain to write, I actually enjoyed large parts of this chapter. Also I cracked (in total wordcount) over 30,000 words, so we’re in great shape.

Next chapter! Ceniro’s little brother! Erk! Conspiracy! More fighting, because this is a strategy game! Erik is a dramallama! And more!

Also tomorrow I am going to go hear Les Choristes sing at lunchtime, because Jen Moir’s choirs are great. (She should totally start a website called Jen Moir’s Choirs. I think it would be a hit. 😀 ) Continue reading →

Chapter 1: Taking Leave         Chapter 3: In Search of Truth

Whoop whoop, another chapter done. Two more on their way! I’m getting all kinds of plot twists and connections that never occurred to me before. Good thing I didn’t try to write this when I was younger, lol.

Happy November 5? Or whatever? Look, have some Gullac, go party. I gotta write.

Chapter 2: Birds of a Feather

“Eliwood,” Ceniro said hesitantly, early in the morning on the next day. “You were saying Lord Helman, Marquess Santaruz, is a good friend of your father’s, right?”

“Yes, I’ve known him since I was a child. He’s like an uncle to me.”

“If we’re worried about Laus’s military, perhaps we could ask him to help provide us with an escort?”

“That’s a good idea,” Eliwood answered. “When my father left a month ago, he took twenty of the best knights of Pherae with him, and none returned. I left the rest at home to guard mother. I only really need Marcus and Lowen.”

“I understand.” Continue reading →

Vol. 2: The Tactician and the Jewel: Chapter 10: The Farseer         Chapter 2: Birds of a Feather

Okay! It’s NaNoWriMo again, and having written about twenty thousand words on a Jarvis fic (which may or may not end up here) and about three thousand on a Clintasha fic (abandoned for the moment as I can’t get into their messed-up heads or lives, despite having read a ton of fanfic about them), I’m beginning the first big project, which is of course the finishing of the Rekka no Ken novelization. Which is Fire Emblem 7, for those of you keeping track. I’ll try to get the first ten or so chapters done, and then maybe take a break. I think Vol. 3 (this one) might be actually longer than ten chapters, considering that it takes ten chapters to go to the Dread Isle and back for the first time, and the Black Fang doesn’t really get revealed until after that; and the dragons don’t come in until closer to the end… so this might be a bit more irregular than the first two ‘books’.

I’m greatly looking forward to finishing this story, and it’s not going to follow most of the dialogue, because I find most of it stilted. I love Hector’s dialogue, however… not to mention Hector’s shirtless body…

Pairings! For those of you interested in that sort of thing: Eliwood/Ninian, Ceniro(tactician)/Lyn/Hector, Florina/Wil, Fiora/Kent, Farina/Dart, Sain/Salir(OC), Rebecca/Lowen, Pent/Louise, Heath/Priscilla, Matthew/Leila, Bartre/Karla, Nino/Jaffar, Isadora/Harken, Ephidel/Limstella – pretty standard vanilla pairings for the most part, but hey, nothin’ wrong with that. : ) And not all of these might make a solid appearance. Certain things like Bartre/Karla you might just have to take on faith seeing as FE6 is the way it is if you know what I mean. (Hey, it’s 4am, who said I had to be coherent?)

So here goes. Thank you to the internet for giving me the game text, so I don’t have to actually play it and record it by hand and then not use it anyway. XD Continue reading →
