Hah! You and your flying worm won't even be able to touch me!

Whoo! Ephraim gets a chance to be cool! He’s facing down Valter the Moonstone outside of the fortress Renvall, which Ephraim just captured with… three men including himself. I don’t really count Orf-… Orson. Yeah, that’s his name. People in the know will know why. Renvall’s supposed to be in the middle of a sort of Crater Lake place. Oh, and Ephraim rules.

I also have an Ephraim story going that promises to be even better than Eirika’s, but it’s only at Chapter 3 and I haven’t actually played Ephraim’s game yet! Isn’t that amazing? I was trying to beat Eirika’s with a different party of characters, but then Kevin saved over it with another of his save files. -_-;;7

Seth Defends Eirika

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

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.
