ORBQUEST: LOWEN - holding out for a hero!

Today, I am beginning ORBQUEST: LOWEN - my way of saying that I will be saving all of my Fire Emblem Heroes orbs until they finally put Lowen into the game. Why? Just look at him, look how cute and friendly! Look at that hair! Look how much his cute horse loves him! I've been playing FEH since launch, and have been waiting for seven years (!!!) for my favorite sandwich-loving mop of a cavalier... to no avail! I'm 100% F2P and have amassed a barracks with some of my favorites, with a handful of +10 units (NY!Panne being my favorite). Blazing Blade was my very first game when my cousin let me borrow it way back when it came out. I was definitely way too young to really know what I was doing, but it made me basically a lifelong fan of the series. Having played it again (as well as every subsequent game), I still have such a soft spot for the Elibe characters and their designs. Lowen also basically set my personal parameters for how I set up characters in RPGs; for whatever reason, RNG always gives me a super lucky, super defensive version of him - and that mix has never led me astray! Love that guy. I am convinced he'll get added eventually, and when he does I will be +10-ing him and feeding him every ridiculous skill I can get my hands on. We stan a lhasa apso of a man here in these barracks.

Chapter 13: Light (Section 8)

(All text is under cut for spoilers)

After returning home safely to Lycia, Eliwood inherited the title of Marquess Pherae. His life shifted immediately from war to politics. His work often left him exhausted, but Ninian was always by his side to support him.

They have a son named Roy, who will one day fight in a war that will once again shake the continent of Elibe. 

Hector became Marquess Ostia after Uther's sudden death. Though his grief over the loss of his brother and the pressure he was under as marquess of Lycia's main house weighed heavily on him, with his beloved Florina cheering him on, he grew to become an even greater marquess than his brother. 

Lyn tended to her grandfather's bedside until his death, then abdicated rule of Caelin to Ostia, and left on a journey to Sacae. There, she reunited with and married Rath, son of the Kutolah Tribe's chieftain. They are raising their daughter in comfort with the blessings of nature.

Marcus and Merlinus became fast friends, and continued to serve Eliwood. Marcus became the combat instructor for Pherae’s noble family, while Merlinus managed their finances. Both became widely-known as loyal retainers of House Pherae.

Isadora returned to her post as Eleanora’s guard. Lowen completed the ceremony to become a full-fledged knight. Rebecca also became a formal retainer of Pherae, and later, at the request of the marquess and his wife, became their son's wet nurse.

Oswin became Hector's strategist, and Matthew continued to serve Ostia alongside him as a spy. Serra was busy for a time broadening her personal endeavors, but lately, she once again seems to have more free time than she knows what to do with.

After Caelin's territory was placed under Ostia’s rule, Kent served as its steward. His partner Sain resigned and traveled the continent as a free knight. Wherever each of them went, the two remained close friends. Wil returned to his post as a knight, and continued to demonstrate the full extent of his archery skills.

Noblewoman Priscilla and mercenary Guy fell in love, but he attempted to give up pursuing her due to the gap in their social standing. However, her tears made him resolve to elope instead. Her smile when she took his hand was the most brilliant of all her smiles across her entire life.

When Raven confessed everything to Hector, the marquess offered to have his territory reinstated. However, Raven rejected the proposal, and returned with Lucius to his carefree life as a mercenary. Lucius felt overwhelming happiness at the expression on his lord’s face when Raven became free of the weight upon his heart.

Nino and Jaffar were wed after the war. They were blessed with twin boys and lived happily, but when they were found by bounty hunters pursuing the remaining members of the Black Fang, their whereabouts became unknown.

After Athos' passing, Pent stepped down as mage general, and continued the research the archsage left unfinished. Doing so caused an uproar, but he did so completely carefree, in the names of his wife and future children.

Erk was next in line to become mage general after Pent retired, but he declined. He gave his life to magic research alongside his teacher.

Dorcas used his pay to buy the medicine his wife needed, and returned home to her. Bartre set out on a journey wandering the continent to become a true warrior. According to rumor, he fell in love with and married his own arch-enemy.

After the battle, Legault traveled around each country in search of the lost remaining members of the Black Fang, and pointed them towards new paths in life. Everything he did, was all in the name of the friends he had lost…

ー

And so, the fight against Nergal ended without it ever having to cross the center stage of the continent of Elibe.

At Bramimond’s order, Hector and Eliwood sealed away both Durandal and Armads. Bramimond also once again sealed away all of the other remaining Legendary Weapons across the continent.

They wished that none would ever have to use their power again, too great for human hands…

But they did not remember at the time of Athos' foretelling during the final battle of a bad omen…

FE popularity polls

Guys I’ll be real, I find him VERY attractive

[furryprovocateur]

had a remarkably miserable time with this chapter. honestly, moreso in the casual run than the ranked one (mostly by trial-and-error). things to note

matthew stole the lockpick from the thief. completely tangential but did you know that if the enemy thief uses the lockpick on the door and THEN you steal it from them, their AI breaks and they just stand there and block the door and do nothing? and this prevents you from getting the silver axe and mend? 😃

bartre got a stupidly good level up (strength skill speed and (i think) luck). he's in this weird position of being extremely useful early on for the plethora of knights and soldiers, but then he becomes bottom tier useful when you start getting flooded by sword users. i was extremely tempted to swap him for lowen, but i was consistently getting that very good level up for him, and bartre is a unit i plan to use long-term, compared to lowen, who i will almost certainly bench within the next 1-3 chapters.

i fielded erk this chapter because he's level 1 and thus would get a stupidly large amount of experience if he was able to pick off weakened enemies, which wasn't terribly hard to do considering guy was mostly 3HKOing the fighters that come in from the northwest. it worked out fairly well, might use erk next chapter too just to get him some experience. the more i can get early on, the better. sure, i have a buffer of 2500 right now, but, as i've mentioned multiple times, i'm gonna need it once i hit lategame.

rapier's almost broken (4 uses) and wolf beil's not much better (9 uses). thankfully, eliwood is tanky enough to have an alterior function + he got a decent level up this chapter so he's doing all right now. if nothing else, hitting level 10 means i can bench him any time i deem him too shitty to keep using. right now though, he's actually helping. hoping i can get him and hector another support rank soon.

seriously, i hate talons alight. i don't mind filler chapters in FE games, they basically have to exist, but good god this one doesn't even try to give like a semblance of plot relevance. also, sealen is just a huge cunt to deal with. at least he gave a dracoshield because it's hard mode.

New design + some doodles because I’m like that

Ok, so, two days ago I’ve finally finished my concept of Mana’s (fan name I’ve come up with for Mark’s female counterpart) design.

Much has changed from her simple design, but I put some little things from her original art. Little me would be so proud ( ´•̥̥̥ω•̥̥̥` )

Chapter 12: Cog of Destiny (Section 6)

“I can see it now…! That's the Shrine of Seals!" Eliwood said when the building they'd been looking for came into his view.

The shrine was white and enshrined in a flat plain surrounded by steep mountains. Though the terrain was difficult to traverse, the building appeared to be meticulously maintained, and glittered in the sunlight even from a distance.

Relying on the letter Queen Hellene had given to them, Eliwood's army set out for the Shrine of Seals, and had just now finally arrived at their destination.

This was the path to defeating Nergal. After all this time, they'd made it to the place Athos directed them to.

"Well this is anticlimactic! At this rate, we're going to finish things here without running into anyone." Hector mused.

"...Unfortunately, I don't think that is going to be the case." Lyn frowned and shifted into a battle stance.

"What?!" Hector put a hand on Wolf Beil and looked around.

In response, a single man clad in black appeared from the shadows of one of the shrine's pillars.

"The Fang… never lets anyone escape!"

It was the last of the Black Fang's prided Four Fangs, Lloyd Reed, the "White Wolf.”

After vowing to avenge his brother, he had come here to wait for Eliwood. Behind him were the ten remaining members of the Black Fang he'd brought along with him…

Befitting of his nickname, Lloyd's gaze on Eliwood and his allies was as sharp as a wolf's. "I am here to avenge Linus… Bring out Eliwood to me!"

"How dare you speak to me like that! I'm not gonna…"

"Wait, Hector!" Eliwood held back the enraged Hector and stepped up to Lloyd.

They had not killed Linus. But no matter how Eliwood might assert that claim, he couldn’t imagine the man in front of him would believe him. And he felt that rather than vengeance, Lloyd had actually appeared to close the final curtain on the Black Fang and its history.

"So we finally meet."

"Is it really… impossible for us to talk this over?"

Lloyd drew the sword at his waist and pointed the tip at Eliwood's throat. "Yes. It is already far too late for that." He said.

"Lloyd Reed, son of Brendan, leader of the Black Fang… I challenge you!”

With those words, everyone present lunged at the same time to attack.

ー

This battle taking place in front of the Shrine of Seals would be the last against the Black Fang.

The enemies Eliwood's army were up against were quite literally throwing away their lives, and they fought frantically against them.

Oswin, Marcus, and the other cavaliers and knights formed an unbreakable frontline, flanked and supported by the agile mercenary, myrmidon, and fighters Raven, Guy, Dorcas, and Barter. On the rear line, the team of Rebecca, Wil, Rath, Lucius, and Erk all decisively shot their arrows and cast their spells to support their allies with ranged attacks.

As they marched in this perfected formation, they defeated each member of the group wearing black one after the other.

Each foe had been trained to be an assassin, excelling in one-on-one combat clashing face-to-face in broad daylight against a large army like Eliwood’s was nothing but reckless for them. Yet they did not falter as they swung their weapons.

But as the battle pressed on, Eliwood’s army maintained the upper hand.

Every time Kent and Sain thrust their lances, and Isadora and Lowen swung their swords, another, then another, of the men in black was added to the growing pile of corpses.

Spurts of blood soared through the air. Shrieking and screaming echoed all around them. The harsh sounds of weapons clashing shook the air all around the battlefield.

With the Black Fang losing members one after the other, the only person still left with energy in their voice was Lloyd.

"Attack! Show them our pride as Black Fang!!” He cheered on his allies as he wielded his Runesword.

It was a magic sword that siphoned people’s life force from within them. Upon taking a hit from it, both Bartre and Dorcas had no choice but to retreat. Even both Guy, aspiring swordsman of Sacae, and Raven, exceptionally skilled mercenary, were bested by Lloyd’s expertise with his sword, and had to flee to the rear line, where Serra and Priscilla were waiting for them.

Seeking his next prey, Lloyd was surveying his surroundings, when Eliwood came and stood before him.

“I will not allow you to cause any more harm to my allies!”

“That is exactly as I was thinking! I will defeat you, and put an end to this battle!" Lloyd answered while calming his ragged breathing. 

No matter which of them was defeated, both of them wanted this to end without seeing any more of their allies fall.

With the battle continuing behind them, both shifted into a battle stance, then swung their swords at the same time.

Whenever Lloyd swung his sword, Eliwood stepped to the side, and when Eliwood repeatedly targeted him with sharp thrusts, Lloyd turned his body to dodge them.

They exchanged which was on offense and which was on defense so many times that their movements mimicked the ebb and flow of the ocean’s waves.

Their blades met ten times, then twenty. Each time, it became clear that Eliwood’s movements were slowing down.

In skill alone, Lloyd was a far better fighter than Eliwood. However, before this exchange, he had crossed blades with many of Eliwood’s allies. Exhaustion was taking a heavy toll on his body. Because of that, Eliwood was able to match him.

Still, his Runesword was slowly stealing Eliwood’s energy. No matter how small each cut may be, the magical blade was leaving its mark on Eliwood’s body.

Eliwood endured his fatigue and exhaustion, putting all of his strength into his grip around his rapier.

'If nothing changes, he’ll kill me…!’ Eliwood’s mind raced as he desperately blocked Lloyd’s fierce attacks. He needed a way to defeat this man… But no matter how hard he tried to think of a good strategy, he could not come up with one. And Lloyd’s attacks were only becoming more ferocious.

“I promised Linus that I would bring back your dead body as a souvenir!” Lloyd said, and swung his magic sword once more.

He put his entire body into the attack, and when Eliwood tried to block it with his sword, he flew through the air and landed on his back.

Lloyd did not let the opportunity go to waste. To keep Eliwood from being able to move, he straddled over Eliwood’s body, then shifted to a backhanded grip on his sword, and thrust the blade down towards Eliwood's throat.

“Look out, Lord Eliwood!!” The moment she saw the danger Eliwood was in, Rebecca lost control of herself and instinctively shot an arrow.

It whizzed through the air, flying directly towards Lloyd. His sharp senses alerted him to its presence. In a split second, he knocked it to the ground, then glanced in the direction that it came from.

What he saw was a young woman who still had some childish features left on her face. The moment he laid his eyes on her, an image of his energetic step-sister appeared in the back of his head, and his mind overlapped their faces together.

Both her appearance and her hair color were similar to Nino, but what was most similar of all were their eyesnand the look of sheer determination in them. Nino's eyes always reflected how she tried to win Sonia's favor, no matter what danger that would put her in.

The thought only lingered in his head for a moment. But that moment cost him his life.

A single stream of blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth. It was caused by Eliwood’s rapier, stabbed into his side. When he realized what had happened, it was only for a moment, but a smile flashed across his face.

"...I've long waited for this time. Now… it has finally come…" He coughed up a pool of blood, then lost all of the strength in his body, and collapsed to the ground with a large crash.

Eliwood, having just barely managed to win such a close fight, stared at Lloyd's body in shock for a long moment.

Rebecca, the person to save Eliwood’s life, also sat down next to him, her adrenaline-filled nerves seeming to have snapped.

The battle was over.

All of the remaining members of the Black Fang had already been defeated by Eliwood's allies. This moment closed the curtain on the Black Fang's history. But in his heart, he did not feel the glory of victory. On the contrary, he felt hollow and lonely.

Neither side had wished to fight. If they'd met both Lloyd and Linus under different circumstances, Eliwood knew they would have become allies. 

He forced his exhausted body to stand up and turned again to face Lloyd's corpse, lying beside him. Then, he lifted his sword upwards to salute him. "...We held the utmost respect for you and your strength… May you… rest in peace…"

Hector and Lyn both rushed up to him, saw what he was doing, and copied him to also show their respect for those who had died in this battle.

A cold wind blew across the mountain plains.

As they each felt it hit them, each member of Eliwood's army felt as if the Black Fang were the same as any of their other allies, strengthening the intensity of their hatred for Nergal, who had used the Black Fang as nothing more than a tool to fulfill his own grand ambitions.
