"We can...customise our crests...?" Leaf mumbled to himself. His
crest, the crest of Daphnel, sometimes raised the power of his
combat arts. He was a little weirded out by this but he looked over
at Iola, wondering if he had a crest, as he never talked to him
about it.
(Read Yes Read. Autumn shut it. Yes. No more question. Lol)
Corona sat nervously, “Whose Professor Linhardt?” She whispered
under her breathe. A crest, she did remembered seeing one on her
uncle’s armplate. “Well I guess I can see where this goes”.
Leaf looked at Corona. "Professor Linhardt...he's a Crest Scholar.
He researches the power of crests and their influences. He also
took up one of the jobs here...according to my mother...she
mentioned he's quite fond of napping but his talent is second to
none."
Corona definitely knows someone else who was exactly like that.
“Thank you, I’m Corona, what’s yours?” She asked, slightly less
worried now, but a crest? Would the one she made be useful to her.
"I'm Leaf. I'm from the House of Galatea in the Kingdom of
Faerghus. My family has the crest of Daphnel running through their
veins, I'm no exception."
“I heard a lot about your family from my dad, all my family are
scholars, not well known. I have fighting and protection in my
blood from my grandmother.” Corona blushed a little. Leaf’s family
was well known for their wyvern. Unlike Corona’s family.
"Well....does your crest have a name? Perhaps they descended from
one of the 10 Elites? Daphnel was said to be a Holy Knight their
time...but now, our family is more known for their Pegasi Knights."
Leaf didn't notice her blush
(Sorry, I just realized that this was Fire Emblem. Excuse me for
not having playing it that much, never really got into it. Can I
make up another name for a house or do I have to use houses from
the game?)
(Ah. Alright let me explain. The Crests in this game are like
bloodlines, they enable people to gain an extra ability in combat,
and in some cases, allow them to wield legendary weapons. This is
kinda simplified)
(There's the Crest of Blaiddyd, Charon, Daphnel, Dominic,
Fraldarius, Gautier, Gloucester, Goneril, Lamine, Riegan, Cichol,
Macuil, Cethleann, and Indech. There are a lot more but I can
explain their effects via palpad)
(okay. Please do XD)
Corona sat there for a moment. “I remember my grandmother had an
eagle.” She recalled, “I was little but something I won’t forget.”
It was a really long time since she saw her grandmother after that
experience.”
Iola was listening in and frowned at the crest part. He was
probably one of the few students who didn't have one and it didn't
help that his family was known for inheriting the Crest of
Fraldarius. However, hearing that he'd be having classes with other
houses lifted his spirits. He'd get to take classes with Clarisse
too! He smiled softly at the thought of having a class with the two
friends he had made and it seemed to chase everything else away.
(Ordinary lessons: unless something important happens, we're gonna
skip those.
Noble Houses: choose whatever name you want, but it'd be better if
you were a member of a canon house, just to keep it simple
Crests: they do not resemble objects or animals.
Also, this is explicitely a way to level the playing field, so
birth Crests are just a roleplay thing (for example, Clarisse'll
temporairly suppress her Crest and take the Beast's one, as it
suits her more)
Clarisse got up, together with a group of other young Alliance
nobles. As she passed next to where the Blue Lions were seated, she
waved to Leaf and Iola. She wanted to be one of the first students
to get to Professor Lysithea's indroduction of the classes, but she
stopped and told them, making it clear she was in a hurry: "I'll
see you after classes. If any of you wants to spar a bit..."
Corona finally settled with beast, a girl talked to Leaf and the
other guy on the other side of him, and left. Corona didn’t want to
budge in so she decided to wait, she wanted to know where she
needed to go.
"Heh, maybe I'll get a little training first. A noblewoman of
Goneril...that's not someone to be taken lightly." He chuckled to
Clarisse before looking back at Corona and Iola
"Pick?" Leaf was taken aback. "I...don't know... I only know that I
naturally have the Crest of Daphnel in my blood...I wasn't aware we
could pick and choose our crests now..."
“Can’t you keep your original crest?” She asked, titling her head.
“Besides, classes are going to start, can you ask for more time?”
Corona suggested, getting up to find her class.
"...Having this conversation, has given me more time...I
suppiose... I'd pick the Crest of Cethleann. It will make my
healing more potent."
(Crest of the Four Saints
