Hello here's the ShadOnic version

With her bracelet recovered, Sonic sets out with renewed determination.

Passing through the ancient forest Zah 'ha brings them close to Grado's border.

As they near the town of Serafew, Sonic's fears are assuaged by the lack of troops.

But never-before-seen terrors crawl in the shadows of the trees.

*Ch.4: Ancient Horrors*

Shadow: We're approaching Serafew, at the border of Renais and Grado.

Once we cross, we'll be in Grado...

Renvall won't be much farther.

Sonic: That is, assuming we can cross the border without mishap...

Oh! Look! Over there!

Those strange figures... What... What are they?

Are they...human?

Shadow: I've never seen anything like it. What could they be?

*In a village*

Silver: What have we done to deserve the trials before us? What is happening to us?

How could such abominations walk our lands while the Sacred Emeralds protect us?

Blaze:...

Silver: Blaze, please, it's dangerous outside the walls. Stay here in the village.

Blaze: Those are revenants, aren't they?

There were the vanguard of Black Doom in the days of darkness.

The Tome of Nazania describes them in chapter 2, section 7, paragraph 8.

Silver: You know of them?

Blaze: Duh! I'm a prodigy. I can recall most everything I see or hear.

According to the book, revenants attack using razor-sharp claws.

Sounds painful, wouldn't you say?

Silver: Yes, er, well... Be that as it may, I must go aid those travelers outside.

You should stay here within the safety of the village.

Blaze: Very well. I don't mind staying here. In face, it seems the smarter choice.

Magic is far more powerful than any monster's claws.

The thickest hide and strongest armor are useless against magic's power.

Yes, I suppose I could have studied swords, but only magic is worthy of me.

Even if this village were to be assaulted by monsters, I could defend it perfectly.

(There are three different schools of magic, each of which is governed by the trinity of magic.

Light is strong against Dark.

Dark is strong against Anima.

Anima is strong against Light.

For now, just remember that Light is strong against Dark.)

Silver: Travelers, you must listen to me! The ancient forest of Za 'ha is dangerous.

Head south and pass through this place before the fiends surround you!

Amy: Who are you?

Silver: My name is Silver.

The temple has assigned me the task of cleansing the forest of these...things.

There are so many of the fiends, though, I wonder if I stand much chance alone.

So if you would, please flee now while you have the chance.

Amy: Fiends?

You're not talking about the same fiends that served the ancient Black Doom?

That can't be right... They're nothing but legends and fairy tales...

Silver: Yes, I felt the same when I heard.

And yet here they are. This place is filled with them.

I wonder how far they've spread... Surely they're not in Renais alone.

Amy: But...why are they here? How?

Sonic: Beware, Your Highness! Something approaches!

Silver Please allow me to deal with this.

Evil shade! May the blessed light drive you from this land!

*Silver attacks a monster and defeats it*

(The magic that Silver and Blaze wield cannot be stopped by physical defense.

However, magic resistance can affect the damage it does.

So, it's possible to do high damage to units like knights, who possess strong defenses.

On the other hand, it's difficult to harm units with high resistance, like pegasus knights.

Magic can also be used to attack directly or indirectly, like a hand axe.

It can be wielded like a sword to strike adjacent foes or like a bow to hit enemies at a distance.)

Sonic: We ought to help. He can't fight them all alone. Do you have orders?

(Starting on this map, you'll be able to use the preparations screen.

You can choose which units to send into battle and manage items to secure the best chance of victory.)

Silver: One of my companions is in that village to the south.

If any of you can get there swiftly, I implore you to watch over her safety.

Listen to me, travelers! If you can, try to stay in the woods.

Sonic: Why should we stay in the woods?

Shadow: In combat, the trees provide cover against attacks.

The trees and branches make it difficult for enemies to strike.

Sonic: Is that so? Fair enough

Let's stick to the trees then.

(Forests and other map areas may offer terrain bonuses.

Units in the forests are harder to hit and take less damage when struck.

Simply put, staying under trees makes it more difficult for enemies to hit and harm you.

Areas that have terrain bonuses and forests, mountains, fortresses, and gates, to name a few.

Use terrain to your advantage during combat to avoid risking your units.)

*Getting Blaze*

Blaze:...

Vanessa: Hm?

Blaze: Your flesh shows no sigh of putrefaction.

It seems you're not a revenant.

I've decided to join you in battle now.

My name is Blaze. I'm a mage of superior wisdom and rare ability.

I've been reading up on these revenants. They are, quite simply, no match for me.

I am superior after all.

*Yay Blaze is now helping*

*Great now in comes one of my most hated Fire Emblem characters L'Arachel or as in this fanfic Sally.*

Sally: Oh, my!

Those travelers are besieged by the agents of evil!

Dozla: Ha ha ha! Right you are, Lady Sally!

Sally: I cannot allow this to happen! Come!

We must charge down these cliffs and rush to their aid!

Rennec: We charge down these cliffs, and the only thing we'll be rushing to is death.

How about we fund us a nice, gentle path down, hm?

Sally: Ah... Yes, well... Let us hurry nonetheless.

I simply cannot abide those wicked beasts running amok!

*Yay their gone and sorry for the L'Arachel and Sally fans that read this but I don't like either of them*

*Support level B for Manic/Colm and Amy/Neimi*

Amy: Whew!

Manic: What are you doing?

Amy: Oh! M-Manic... I-I was just restringing my bow...

Manic: Wow. You really take after your grandfather. The way you handle your bow is great!

Amy: Grandpa taught me how to shoot when I was little...

Manic: Yeah. Your grandfather was a really a top-notch archer.

I still remember how he tried to shoot me.

Amy: W-well, Manic.

That's because you were stealing fruit from our tree.

Manic: He really taught me how frightening an archer with a good shot can be.

Amy: But... He never hurt you.

He just wanted to scare you. He missed on purpose.

Manic: No, he was aiming for me. I was just too fast for him to hit me.

Amy: He never missed a target when we went hunting.

Manic: Well, then, I guess I'm just faster then wild animals.

Amy: Hee hee! Ha ha ha!

Manic: Hey! You're laughing at me, aren't you?

Amy: Hee hee! That's not true...

It's just that... You haven't changed much since then.

Manic: What's that supposed to mean?

Amy: J-just that you still exaggerate a lot.

But now that I think about it, you've always been on my side.

Manic: Not always!

And now especially, I can't always be there to protect you.

I have many responsibilities to this unit, you know.

Amy: I know...

Manic: But I can't leave you alone either.

Amy: Thank you...

*End of Support level B*

*Starting Support level B with Sonic and Shadow*

Sonic: Hrrngh...

Hahh!

What do you think?

Shadow: Your sword arm is magnificent, my lady.

You have improved yet again.

Sonic: Thank you.

It is only because I know my brother will scold me if I do not practice every day.

But I still am nowhere near your level of skill, Sonic.

Shadow:...My lady, I hardly think...

Sonic: Perhaps next time, you could spar with me and help me learn some technique?

The basics I've learned from my brother all apply to skills with the spear.

If I could learn the sword techniques of the Knights of Renais, then perhaps I could be even stronger.

I would be of greater help to you on the battlefield.

Shadow: Yes, but...

Princess Sonic, I think you should stay away from front lines.

You are of the royal family of Renais. Please leave the fighting to me...

Sonic: Still...

How can I just watch from afar while others risk their lives for me?

I cannot rely on you always.

I must learn to protect myself.

So please, continue to observe as I practice.

Shadow: Princess Sonic...

*End of Support level B with Shadow and Sonic*

*After battle*

Shadow: We've killed all the monsters.

Still, we'd best burn the bones to ash to be sure they don't return.

Sonic: I still can't believe what we've been fighting here...

I'd thought those fiends nothing more then myth and legend.

Shadow: Those revenants are said to be the least of the dark creatures.

And yet, the weakest of them could outmatch any normal man.

We cannot take this enemy lightly.

Blaze: Oh, yes. There are much worse then those revenants and the entombed...

Let's see, there's the bonewalkers, mauthe doogs, gargoyles, baels...

Why, I'll bet you just about any creature of lore could be walking again.

Yes, we're in for some trouble. Even my fabulous power may not be enough.

Silver: O divine light, show me... Is this a sigh of dark days to come?

Sonic: By all that's holy, what is happening?

Shadow: Princess Sonic, perhaps it would be wise to return to Frelia and regroup.

Pressing forward seems foolish in light of recent events.

We cannot face both Grado's forces and more of those terrible things.

Sonic: Shadow, I follow your point, and nothing would please me more then running for safety.

But what of my brother? He and his men are trapped in the same situation we are.

I know full well that i may be leading us into even greater danger, but...

Please try to understand.

Shadow: I do, my princess, and I vow to see you through this safely.

*Sally, Dozla, and Rennac show up*

Sally: Aha! Foul creatures, beware!

I, Sally, bestow upon you the honor of banishment at my blessed hands!

Sonic:...

Sally: Oh... Where are the monsters?

Sonic: Well, we just finished...

Sally: Ah, glad tidings indeed! The heavens must be rejoicing!

I am...a tad disappointed however. After all, I did rush all the way here to show you the splendor of my might.

Dozla: Gwah ha ha! It's a real shame, innit, Lady Sally?!

Rennac: What's shameful is the way you drag us around the countryside.

Sonic: Pardon me, but...who are you?

Sally: Me?

Since you ask, please allow me to introduce myself.

It is I, the true light and glory of the sacred realm of Rausten...

Dozla: Stop! Lady Sally, you mustn't continue!

You cannot reveal your true identity here!

Sally: Oh, yes, you're right. Oh, I get so careless sometimes!

Now, I must ride off in anonymity. Oh, how beautifully romantic!

Sonic: Uh... Right.

Sally: Fare thee well, strangers. Perhaps our paths will cross again.

Come, Dozla! Rennac! We ride!

Dozla: Gwah ha ha! Let's go, Rennac!

Rennac: All right, all right.

Sonic:...What was that about?

Please review!
