Well, I guess I'll post this here. It's still very much WIP though. Also, don't expect much from this.
Fire Emblem: Aces
Prologue:

Long ago, the continent of Al Hazard was united under one banner, that of the powerful Belkan Empire. History indicated that it was a peaceful and prosperous time, where everybody lives with each other in harmony, under the guidance of the Sankt Kaiser.

Alas, everything must come to an end. No one knows how it happened, but one day, a terrible plague spread across the land, killing many in its wake. None of the mages of the court known what happened, and as such, cannot find a way to cure it. Worse, some of those struck by it would return to the land of the living, not as humans, but as flesh eating abominations

For a decade, the war against the undead rages on. It was hopeful at first, what with them continually driving back the undead creatures. But then horror struck: Friends, comrades, families who fought with them side-by-side, who were recently fallen, would soon return as enemies, as monsters.

Desperate for an end, the strongest mages in the land gathered and crafted a spell that would cleanse the undead once and for all. But for it to be cast, a medium is needed. One that can handle all the different styles of magic used in the ritual. And thus, the Tome of the Night Sky was created. With it, the tides of the war changes. Soon, the humans become victorious, and the cycle of life and death returned.

Unfortunately, it also left the land fractured. With the current Sankt Kaiser and the royal Belkan family all but gone, no one was left to lead the empire. Many nobles seized the chance and rose to power, forming their own kingdom. Even though there were no conflicts, the land would never be united under the same banner again.

As for the Tome of the Night Sky... No one knows where it went. Some say that a beautiful fairy had hidden it away, for such a powerful creation can only belongs in the realm of the fae. Some say that it was destroyed after the spell was casted. All but rumors.

More than one millennium and a half had passed since that time. The shaky peace was only disturbed once, though it was resolved relative quickly. But ... how long would it last?

The land of Mid Childa was a peculiar state among the many territory in the land. For it was not ruled by one, but three families: the Crowbels, the Phils and the Kiels. There will always be one member of the Three Great Family - as they were called - sitting in the council.

Even though it has known no conflict for many generations, Mid Childa still maintain one of the most respected army known to the land. However, a shadow of unease had risen when one of its top commanders, Clyde Harlaown, disappeared in the line of duty. His last location was near the land of Ruwella. One month had passed since then, and while many had given up hopes, his son was not among them.

Chrono Harlaown, a rising talent in the army, had officially handed his temporary resignation letter three days ago. His journey begins, one that would be retold for generations to come.

Chapter 1: Temporary leave
"Are you sure about this, Chrono?"

On a hill overlooking Mid Childa, two persons stood. One was a green haired woman in her 30s riding a pegasus, asking her companion in concern. The other, a blue haired young man clad in light black armor and a spear on his back, stares back, determination in his eyes.

"I am Mother. I know that Father is still alive out there. He is too skilled for a simple MIA during a border patrol. I will find him and bring him home."

The woman sighed, before smiling at her son.

"I know that I can't stop you when you look like that. But please, take care of yourself. I ... don't think I can handle losing both of you at once."

"I will. I promise you that I will return, along with Father."

Before the woman can reply, the sound of a horse running drew their attention. Soon, an armored knight approaches them. When he reached their location, the man lifted his faceplate, revealing a familiar face to the two.

"Sir Graham? What are you doing here?" The youth bowed.

"Do remember that I am both your instructor and a friend of your father. Did you really think I would not join your journey?" The knight replied, before bowing in the woman's direction. "Do not fret, Lady Harlaown. I will see to it that young Chrono return safely."

"Please, call me Lindy. We're both friends here." Lindy smiled back. "Knowing that you will accompany him ease my heart."

The knight nodded, before turning to Chrono. "Well then, we leave on your mark Chrono. And no formality. We are not in the army right now. Just call me as you would"

"Yes sir- I mean Graham. I shall take my leave now, mother."

"Godspeed my son."

**********

Their first destination was Ruwella, seeing as it was the last known location of Clyde Harlaown, Chrono's father. To fastest way to do so, however was to head south through a small part of Orussia, a country currently plagued by civil war. Bandits had taken this opportunity to wreck havoc in Orussia, with occasional incursion into Mid Childa and Ruwella’s territory.

Unfortunately, Chrono and Gilliam encountered one such incursion during their journey.

They were heading toward a small village near the border when they saw it. A group of men were surrounding a caravan, howling and roaring with laughter. As they approach, they found out why: A brown haired youth - no older than 15, Chrono estimated - was fighting a lance wielder.

Judging by the situation, Chrono knew that it would be a matter of time before the lancer’s superior range gives him a win. Nodding to Graham, Chrono silently approached the group, and readied his javelin. As soon as he's in range, Chrono took aim and launch it, hitting the surprised lancer straight in his back. Not allowing them a chance to fully recover, Chrono and Gilliam charged in, the paladin soon among their ranks, his spear making short works of those who were in its path. The blunette soon found himself engaging with two axemen and a swordsman. The youth, having recovered from his surprise, had also joined the fray, his sword quick and precise.

"D-d-damn you!" The swordsman cried out. "Our boss won't let you get away with this."

"Your boss can talk with me when he got here." Chrono replied, stabbing said bandit in the guts.

A few minutes later, the trio had managed to take out all of the bandits. Chrono had directed the caravan to the nearest town, telling them to hurry since more bandits might be approaching. When that was done, he turned toward the brunette, who was catching his breath.

"You did well back there. What's your name?"

"Thoma, sir" The youth bowed.

"Chrono. And no formality, please. I'm not a knight right now." Chrono waved his hand, before pointing to his companion "That's Gilliam.

"Unfortunately, it seems proper introduction would have to wait, as it appears that their boss had arrived." the grey haired man noted, pointing at a dust of cloud.

"Wha-! You! What did you do to my men?!" The boss of his group exclaimed when he saw the bodies of his men.

"As you can see, we killed them. In the name of justice and all that." Chrono dryly replied.

"Why you lit-" The man found himself unable form any coherent words as an arrow lodged itself in his throat.

A javelin took out another bandit. The group whirled around, trying to find the hidden attackers. While still surprised at the unexpected help, Chrono was not one to pass out a chance and rushed at the enemy. Gilliam and Thoma soon joined him, cutting down any who gets in their way. Those that tried to get away were all took down by arrows and javelins.

"Well, that sure was lucky. I wonder who was it that helped us?" Thoma wondered.

Their question was answered when a pegasus landed in front of them, revealing two familiar faces to Chrono.

"Vice? Amy? What are you doing here?"

"Hello Chrono, Gilliam, kid-that-I-don't-know. I heard about what happened to your father. Figures you can use the help" The man named Vice replied. "Amy here offered to give me a ride."

"You and Amy?" Chrono raised an eyebrow at that.

"No need to get jealous. We were working on the same job" Vice smirked when he saw Amy blushing, though it diminished when the same didn't happen to Chrono.

"Nice to see you again, Chrono. You too Gilliam. Though you're still as stiff as ever." Amy smiled, but it soon turn into a frown "Unfortunately, I have to return to Alzas. Seems like something happened back there."

"I see. Thank you for the help and good luck."

After Amy left, the four of them set up camp around the nearest river. As he took the first watch, Chrono can't help but look up, frowning when he noticed a small star dimming in the distance.

"That ... can't be a good sign" Chrono muttered to himself.

Support Conversation: Chrono & Yuuno

C Support
Chrono: You still alive back there ferret?
Yuuno: What's that supposed to mean?
Chrono: Well you look so frail that I'm afraid you'll keel over at any moment.
Yuuno: Hardy har har. Very funny. I'm not going to die that easily. Oh, hold on.
Chrono: What the-! Oi, that was dangerous you know!
Yuuno: I'm not Hayate you know. I can aim pretty well. Beside, the worst that could happen is you losing your hair. I think it suits you actually.
Chrono: Now who's being the funny one? ... And that's 12 for me.
Yuuno: Counting the one I just shot at, I'm at 13. Looks like you're getting slow.
Chrono: Grrrr. I'm not losing to you!

B Support
Yuuno: Something wrong Chrono? This gloom and doom aura of yours is disturbing.
Chrono: Hmmm. Just thinking.
Yuuno: You mean brooding.
Chrono: THINKING, ferret. I've been wondering... Who would raise these undead? Considering that they almost destroyed the world once, wouldn't it have been better not to use them.
Yuuno: I honestly have no idea how to answer that. Perhaps for power. Perhaps for love. Who knows?
Chrono: Love? If all of this is for love, then that is one twisted love. Even so...
Yuuno: We'll stop them. No matter what. Right?
Chrono: *chuckles* You know me too well ferret.

Yuuno: How did ... things get this bad?
Chrono: I ... have no idea. Still, this doesn't bode well.
Yuuno: Geez, you think? Somehow the soldiers we just killed come back as undead immediately. That's not how it's supposed to work damn it!
Chrono: There's a rule for this kind of stuff?
Yuuno: Not really. Research showed that usually, it took at least 1-2 days before an infected rise up from the graves. But this...
Chrono: I see... Guess we'll just have to make sure that they stay dead, huh?
Yuuno: You bet. And try not to die in the process too. Otherwise...
Chrono: Hah. I'll sooner throw myself into a fireball then let them kill me.
Yuuno: I'll be happy to shoot that fireball at you. If you turn, of course.
Chrono: And I'll gladly chop you to pieces if you become one of them.
Yuuno: Looks like it's a deal. Don't die, Chrono.
Chrono: You too... Yuuno.
