Frelia’s Finest: Part 2 (rewrite)

Part 1 this way

 

Part 2

 

“How goes it?” I asked Gerik, who crouched at the door of the tower while I knelt on the top of the tower.

The mercenary captain peeked through the arrow slit next to him. “I’m good, thanks for asking, Highness. Still lots of baddies out there, though.”

I stood up and surveyed the hilly plain. “They’ve drawn off a little. I think we have time for a breather. Come up and look around.”

“Ewan, stay in hiding,” Tethys warned her brother as she followed Gerik up to the top of the tower.

We had been ambushed by Carcino soldiers right when we were in the middle of the country. Brin had taken a lance in the leg, and had dropped back even though she was able to partly heal the wound with a vulnerary. They wouldn’t kill her; the mercenaries’ guild laws prevented that. But the treacherous bastards had no reason to attack me, and since I hadn’t stopped for news since I left Frelia, I had no idea why they thought they had reason to. Could it be that Grado guessed at my mission and had corrupted them with coin?

In any case, we were wildly outnumbered and though we made it to the relative safety of a small abandoned tower in the middle of this plain, it was only a matter of time before we were overrun. I would have failed almost before I had begun.

I couldn’t let that happen. Continue reading →

Part 1

An arrow zipped past my shoulder as I ducked behind the wall of Castle Mulan. Nocking another arrow to my own string, I stood up and sent feathery death down on the peon who had dared attack me.

“How goes it?” I called to my general, Kalvin.

“Not good,” he called back. “Captain Misha’s unit is under heavy mage-fire. I’ve redirected our healers to that area.”

“Mage fire?” I looked around at the gates beside me. The enemy’s battering rams were getting closer, but our own mages were blasting at them, and our cavalry was ready in the courtyard. “I’ll take care of it.”

“Thank you, Prince Innes!”

I nodded and, crouching, walked swiftly over to the other side of the castle where our pegasus knights were fending off a storm of fireballs and lightening bolts. Pegasus were naturally resistant to magic attacks, but we only had one squad, and there were too many mages for them to deal with. We’d already lost four, a third of them.

I was not resistant to magic, but I was agile and my arrows struck faster than the knights. I revealed myself and pegged three mages in the space of a breath, drawing new arrows from my quiver in the blink of an eye. Then I had to throw myself down and roll as they became aware of the new threat and aimed several eye-searing spells in my general direction. Continue reading →

About Ephraim’s Story: Chapter 10

Leave a Reply

Um. Well. That was a giant long chapter… Honestly, those guys talk more than my guys! XD But anyway, I’m a little closer to finishing this story now. I am hoping I can recycle dialogue from Eirika’s Story, because I’m a cheating cheater who is lazy. : P

Part of the reason this chapter took up so much space is because the game itself doesn’t make a lot of sense. Ephraim, in the game, just appears in the castle with his army, with no explanation of how he got there, and I felt an explanation was needed. Also there was a lot of smoothing out to do, since the dialogue is occasionally loltastic, and I wanted to spread the dialogue out a bit, hence some line-trading. Continue reading →

Chapter 10: Father and Son

Barely a day and a night later, we stood looking down on Grado City, the capital of the Grado Empire. It had been so long since I had seen it, and it was the same as ever – proud dark stone walls rising up out of a lush green valley. The Keep stood at the head of the city, even taller. We had not encountered any resistance since Hanarka, which was suspicious to me, but I would take whatever seemed like good fortune I could get. The capital itself seemed normal, if a little quieter than usual; she seemed unaware that a hostile force was camped almost at her very gates.

The last time I was there, two years ago, it had been for my education. I’d studied martial arts with Duessel, but the intellectual side of my studies I was hopeless in. If it hadn’t been for Lyon’s patient help, I would have flunked every test and then some. Books just held no interest for me. Lyon, on the other hand, absorbed them like a sponge does water, but was defeated soundly by Eirika in combat, so he came to me for additional sparring practice. He and I had a good friendship, each helping the other. And of course he had a good friendship with Eirika; she was more sympathetic than I was, and when I was a jerk, she would comfort him while I snickered at them both or stood shamefaced.

Being a kid was pretty fun in Grado, books aside. Continue reading →

Pent 2

Oops, my bad. This one came before yesterday’s. But anyway, you notice the different style. This one is much more anime-flavoured, while the other one has some attempts at vague realism. Also, I failed at this one.

Man, how long has it been since I used the Fire Emblem category?

Let’s do more. : D

Ceniro bio portrait

Leave a Reply

And it’s our brave (actually – normal-couraged) tactician to next get his mug in colour. He’s from Fire Emblem 7 and he is quiet and smart and idealistic and likes wandering a LOT.

His boots are really worn out so he’s holding the leg parts together with bandages and string. Heheh.

Same colouring technique as last time. If I leave out the black outline, it looks kind of like a watercolour which is kind of cool. Except he doesn’t have eyelashes so he looks like a freak.

I think I should learn to draw Ceniro head-on because the back of his hair changes depending on which view I drew him from. : P

Oh yeah, Medeus? XD

Oh yeah, Medeus? XD

Well, rocking out while painting is not recommended, but when it’s to music like this… the above picture is the result. That’s the Shadow Dragon Medley from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and it is AMAZING. I love the battle theme music in there (EDIT: I have been informed by YouTube that the specific theme is actually used for exposition cutscenes. Whatever. It’s too awesome for that). Marth is groovy! So I painted him that way. Bwahahaha.

Just a quick sketchie. Working on something much bigger (again) in yet another different style. Night, folks!

Wil and Florina, colour

Okay. I’m just getting lazy with the pictures now. This one was pretty much entirely done by: outline! flat colour! burn (darken shadows)! dodge (lighten highlights)! Also Wil’s hand is absolute garbage. This is based off an ooooooooooooold picture so maybe that will be a sort of saving grace but I doubt it. Anyway! Um, background is yoinked off Fire Emblem Planet . net but it’s actually from the game itself, so, thank you, Nintendo and Intelligent Systems! : P I also shortened Wil’s giraffe-like neck, but failed to realize this gives him an extruded torso. He’s not actually very tall; just Florina’s really really small. Also when I drew Florina way back when I did I basically traced the official art so her pose may look familiar.

I like blueberries! We had lots today.
