Hello Fire Emblem fans! This is going to be my third story on here, but my first from the Fire Emblem series. This story will be a post Revelation story and I recommend you have completed the Revelation path before you read this. Reviews are encouraged but nothing too harsh. Also, an important note about something in this story will be located at the end of the chapter. Hope you enjoy the story! I do not own the Fire Emblem series.

A year has passed since the defeat of Anankos. Corrin, Ryoma, and Xander have accepted their roles as kings of their respective kingdoms. Many from Corrin's army have taken their own paths after the war. Some have decided to travel the world, others chose to stay home to raise their new families, and the rest have decided to stay with Corrin or his brothers in the army.

But even though the war has long been over, peace has not settled in the three kingdoms. Bandits still run rampant and show no signs of stopping anytime soon. The three kings have done their best of trying to quell the criminals, but, more often than not, they receive reports of a village being robbed or attacked. The kings have no idea what the capabilities of these criminals are, but they know that normal soldiers are not enough to handle them. The kings were grateful that their allies from the original army have agreed to train the soldiers, but they are also unnerved that the criminals are, for some unknown reason, growing stronger themselves.

Kaden the Kitsune raced between the trees as he made his regular around his Kitsune hamlet. He had also heard the reports of bandits going around from village to village and taking valuables. He had seen strange signs of habitation lately near his hamlet and was investigating with his daughter, Selkie.

The signs he had seen were not consistent with any animal that he knew lived in these forests. He spent weeks searching but has always come up short of finding the unknown being. The young kits of his tribe have said they saw some weird blue beast over the few weeks, but the adults denied they saw anything at all. One of the few things that both kits and adults have said in common is that they sometimes hear roaring or, strangely, singing in the distance and that they never heard anything like that before.

Kaden stopped suddenly as he realized this was the spot where the sightings were frequent. He heard his daughter stop behind him and starting to sniff the air.

"Is this the place, Daddy?" she asked. He turned around and nodded to her.

"Yeah. Stay safe, because there could be hunters around too." He said. Selkie nodded and moved the pink strand of fur from her face. They both moved cautiously through the woods looking for the same strange signs, of which there were many. Kaden hated that he had to bring his daughter with him. He knew his wife, Felicia, was worried for their daughter, but they both agreed that she needed to release her energy after they cooped her up recently within the hamlet borders.

Selkie was having the best time since the Vallite war ended. She was never really afraid of anything except losing her family. She's always been fearless ever since learning to run, even facing hunters when she left her Deeprealm didn't faze her. She's always found things either fun, exciting, or boring. And patrolling with her dad to find some weird mystery beast was exciting.

They both stopped after a few minutes when they heard a voice nearby. The voice seemed to be singing a song. The voice was also somewhat deep but not like Benny's voice, which was as deep as the Bottomless Canyon. The Kitsune pulled out their Beaststones but didn't transform yet as they moved in closer through the twilight of the evening. They looked through the trees to see a small encampment in a slightly larger clearing. They were shocked to see one person in the camp sitting on a tree stump next to a fire, but what shocked them was what the person looked like.

At first glance, it looked to be a young adult human male. Another glance showed that he had blue wings and blue tail, all three appendages were reptilian and had strange markings traveling along them. Among his brown hair were three multicolored strands running from the front of the scalp and the ends touching his nose. The strands were colored light blue, red, and yellow; he also had two more colored strands at the nape of his neck, one white and one black. Kaden could not recognize the creature's clothing, but he could identify a sword sheath with no sword next to the person on the ground. Kaden could also see a curved white dagger and a curved black dagger next to the sheath.

Selkie noticed that the singing voice was coming from this person and she was mesmerized by the strange tune. She heard a few scratches in the singing, but was overall a nice song. The person also had a fish skewered and rotating over the fire, but did not seem to notice the two Kitsune.

Kaden grew wary of this strange person and was about to attack him, but Selkie burst out of their hiding place and starting walking up to him. The person was so absorbed in his singing that he never noticed Selkie approaching as he finished. "And I learned everything I needed to know from John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16…"

"That's a nice song." Said Selkie as she got closer. The reptile flinched and fell backwards off of the tree stump at her voice. When he looked up at her, his face flushed white and Selkie noticed that as his eyes widened behind his glasses, they were an emerald green with slit pupils. "Oh, I'm sorry! Are you okay?" she asked as she still got closer. He crept back but nodded to her question. "Thank goodness… Do you need any help getting up?" He shook his head and lifted himself off the ground. He gestured to another tree stump by the fire while sitting on his stump. Selkie sat on the second one and muttered a thanks.

"Can you talk at all? It's rude if you won't talk when you can." She said to the person. He hummed and seemed to hesitate a moment.

"I'm sorry." He said quietly.

"There's no need to be sorry! Oh! I haven't told you my name! It's Selkie. What's your name?" she asked. He hesitated again before looking at her.

"My name is Spencer." He said a little more clearly. Selkie smiled brightly at the response and saw her father approach, an unidentifiable expression on his face. Spencer saw him as well and started curling his wings closer to his back with a look of fear on his face.

"Daddy, stop it! You're scaring him!" Selkie exclaimed.

"Oops." Kaden rubbed the back of his head but Spencer didn't let down his guard. "Sorry. I am just nervous about seeing my daughter with a strange boy her age." He said. The reptile unfurled his wings a little and calmed down.

"I understand. It happens with a lot of fathers." Spencer said. Spencer gestured to another stump by Selkie and Kaden sat down. Spencer took the cooked fish off the cooker and placed it on a clean leaf before grabbing the white dagger, slicing pieces of fish onto more leaves. He gave the fish slices to the father and daughter before getting more for himself.

After the meal, Kaden and Selkie started asking Spencer questions. "Spencer, what exactly are you?" Kaden asked. "We've never seen anything like you, except for two friends of ours. But you seem to be something different." Spencer had a look of confusion flash across his face before answering.

"Did your friends have any heritage related to dragons of some kind?" he asked.

"Yeah! They could turn into dragons with special stones and turn parts of their bodies into dragon arms or legs! But I've never seen them become something like you." Selkie answered for her father.

"Well, I am similar to them, in a way. I have dragon ancestry, but I can turn into a dragon without a stone." Spencer said.

"Really?!" Selkie asked, amazed. Spencer nodded and caught Kaden staring at the sheath and daggers by Spencer's tail.

"I can assure you that I am not about to attack you. I don't use my daggers in combat much and I would rather not use magic right now." He said. Kaden was about to deny staring but caught something.

"You can use magic?" Kaden asked. Spencer nodded.

"Yeah. I mainly use my daggers to focus certain elements and travel at high speeds. I can create weapons, but it drains my energy so I don't create too many weapons."

"Awesome!" Selkie chirped.

"But you still haven't told us what you are exactly." Kaden stated. Spencer nodded and was about to explain when an explosion cut him off. Kaden and Selkie looked behind them to see smoke stacks rising in the distance. "No… The hamlet!" Kaden started racing back to his home while Selkie followed through the trees. Spencer watched them run off before looking back at the empty sheath and daggers on the ground.

When the two reached the hamlet, they saw humans tearing everything apart and ransacking homes. Fires were set to some of the trees and one of the homes was in ruins. Kaden charged at the small army in his Nine tails form and attacked several of the bandits.

Selkie was fighting the bandits as well as she bit and threw the people away and swatting at them with her tail. She was about to be hit with an axe before the barbarian fell down with a knife in his back. Felicia pulled the knife out and ran to Selkie to make sure she was okay before running into the heat of the battle.

The battle dragged on into the night and neither side were giving an inch. Both sides were getting tired but the Kitsune were starting to waver. Felicia and other healers were trying their best to get the defenders back into the battle, but there were more falling back than those going back into battle.

Kaden was feeling his strength starting give out as he kept fighting with the barbarian leader. The Kitsune leader had already been hit by swords and axes before facing the leader and had multiple shallow wounds around his waist. He charged again but his strength failed and he tripped.

"Your fur is mine, fox!" yelled his opponent as he raised his large axe above the white fox leader. Kaden closed his eyes and waited for the pain. A few seconds passed and he only heard a yelp of pain, but it didn't come from him. Kaden opened his eyes to see the barbarian fall backward, revealing a familiar, but angry, face.

Spencer's arms were outstretched and changed. His hands had grown a little and were covered in blue scales and had thick claws protruding from his fingers. His eyes were glowing green in the moonlight as he stared down at the fallen enemy in disgust. He looked down at Kaden in shock, seeing the wounds on his waist. He helped Kaden stand and rushed him to the healers and Felicia, who was frightened at both Kaden's wounds and Spencer's appearance.

"T-thank you… friend…" Kaden groaned in pain as he was laid upon a bed. He looked to see Spencer shaking his head and grunting before dashing back to the fight. Kaden heard something like a roar before he passed out from exhaustion.

Kaden slowly opened his eyes and tried to get up from his bed, but was stopped when he felt pain and laid back down when he heard Felicia scolding him. "Where am I?" He asked.

"You're in the infirmary. You've been unconscious for hours. Thank goodness that man brought you here when he did, you lost a lot of blood." His wife answered. Kaden's eyes widened as he realized what had happened. "Don't worry. When that man came, he helped drive off the bandits. He got a few cuts and bruises, but nothing serious. But he won't even talk to anyone besides Selkie." She said. Kaden relaxed as he realized his people were safe. He took the time to realize that he was in his own den lying down on a cushion and that he and Felicia were alone.

"Where is he?" Kaden asked. Felicia excused herself from the den before returning a few minutes later with Selkie and Spencer. Felicia had to hold Selkie back from jumping onto her father, as he was still in pain. The parents shared a laugh while Selkie pouted and Spencer stayed silent the whole time.

"Spencer, thank you for helping to save my people." Kaden said. Spencer looked to the Kitsune and nodded. "I really owe you. You saved my home and my life. How can I repay you? Just ask for anything." Kaden added.

Spencer, however, didn't say anything and stayed silent, save for a hum. Selkie looked at him before realizing something. "Daddy, he told me earlier that he's really shy. He said that he can't talk to anyone that he doesn't know." She said. Kaden looked at Spencer and was surprised to see him rubbing his arm in embarrassment.

"Spencer, there's nothing to worry about. It's just me, Selkie, and my wife, Felicia." Kaden said. Felicia slightly waved to the newcomer and Spencer relaxed a little. "Good. Now, is there anything I can help you with? I owe you two favors, for helping me and for helping save my people." Spencer hesitated a few moments and answered before Kaden could press the issue again.

"Home… I want to get home…" He said quietly. Kaden grinned as he heard the request.

"Okay! I can help you get home! I just need to kno-" He was stopped when Spencer spoke up again.

"You probably have never heard of it…"

"Why not? I've been across the nations of Hoshido and Nohr. I'm pretty sure I've come across your home." Kaden answered, but Spencer shook his head.

"And I'm sure you have not. But before I continue, there's something else."

"What is it?" Kaden asked.

"I also need help. I am a shape-shifter called a draconian. We can use various elements of magic to fight and defend ourselves. There are others like me and we live among humans, in harmony. But recently, my home was attacked by these strange creatures. They looked like people, but we could barely see them. We drove them off, but I was captured and brought through some strange portal. I escaped shortly after going through the portal and realized I was somewhere else entirely. Everything looked completely different and I couldn't communicate with my friends. I met up with this girl named Anna and she told me to run far away from where we were, something called an Outrealm gate…" He trailed off with confusion in his voice.

"You're from an Outrealm…" Kaden whispered. "You're from another world entirely. I haven't been to the Outrealms, but I know people that have gone. Felicia went into the Outrealms as well." Spencer looked at Felicia and realized that they weren't lying.

"So you can get me home and help us?" Spencer asked, eyes full of hope. Kaden grinned brightly and nodded.

"Sure! I just have to get Corrin to come. I can give him a call and he could be here in a day or two."

"Thank you." Spencer said. Kaden waved it off and lied back down. He saw Selkie start to fidget before pulling Spencer outside to do something fun. Kaden tensed at the thought of the two of them together but found it funny as he saw Spencer's face pale in fear.

Kaden walked into a small room with a basin of water against one wall. The water seemed to be glowing in the basin as he looked into it. A few seconds passed before the image of a white haired man appeared instead of Kaden's reflection. "Kaden! Is something wrong over in the hamlet? Or is Selkie wanting Kana to come over?" Corrin asked, concerned as he saw the Kitsune's injuries. Kaden waved it off however.

"The hamlet successfully defended itself against bandits last night with no casualties, with the help of a traveler. And the guy is also keeping Selkie company. We just need your help." Kaden replied. He proceeded to explain the situation to Corrin as best he could.

"The Outrealms… I see. I'll come over right away. I'm bringing Kana and Sakura as well. Flora really needs a break right now and she's going to Izumo at the moment for relaxation. I wish I could go with her…" Kaden chuckled at the pained expression Corrin was giving to tease him about how he and his wife, Flora, feel about her taking a vacation. Sakura stayed in Valla more often than at Hoshido to stay close to her brother.

"Alright. But before you come, I should warn you." Kaden said.

"What is it?"

"Corrin… Spencer is a dragon like you." Kaden answered. Corrin's eyes widened before shouting something behind him.

"Kaden, I'll see you tonight."

"John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16" belongs to Keith Urban.

Alright, I hoped you enjoyed the chapter! But if you are confused about draconians, they are an original species that I came up with and I will be adding a description of Spencer the draconian and of draconians in general in my profile soon. If you have any questions, shoot me a pm and I will answer your questions, so no need to be shy about asking in the reviews. But don't hesitate with leaving a review! I will see you soon!
