✩♬₊˚.🎧Five songs I'm into right now!⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧▶︎
Tagged in one of my fav type of tag games by the marvelous @iron-sparrow and @dragonsongmakhali! Ty both so much for thinking of me!! I live to share tunes! (And partake in all the good stuff everyone else shares when these come around!)
(Also, I nicked your idea, Iron, and added the lyrics I liked too c': thanks fren! hahah )
I've included YouTube and Spotify links for folks who use both platforms. I am into a few songs atm! Not all Blorbette related. If they appear on the playlist I curate with my husband for our ragtag bunch of OCs I have marked them with a ✩ c:
Take Me To The River - Lorde's cover of Talking Heads Spotify | YouTube
Sixteen candles, there on my wall. And here I am, the biggest fool of them all.
Talking Heads are one of my all time favourite bands. Last year I read David Byrne's book about music and it was amazing! Anyway, I absolutely love when new artists I love cover old bands I love. Turns out Lorde (and others) just released a whole tribute album to one of the best albums of all time, Stop Making Sense. Lorde has been a big mainstay for me since 2012! Most of Lorde's covers bop too and this is absolutely no exception.
New Love - Ziggy Alberts✩ Spotify | YouTube
But if I stay like this what could become of everything dear that I've done? Like damming rivers that lead to seas, I've got to trust that some new love will find it's way back to me.
This song was just released last week! I was so happy! I love Ziggy, he's one of my fav young Aussie artists! It was a joy to be able to put him on the playlist for the Blorbettes. Like many of the songs husbo and I throw on there, it's not lyrically perfect for a setting like XIV. But it's got the right vibes.
War Pigs - T-Pain✩ Spotify | YouTube
Yeah time will tell on their power minds, making war just for fun (yeah) Treating people just like pawns in chess. Wait 'til their judgement day comes. This particular one is a Cal/Leon number and not related to the Blorbettes . But. When my husband played me this last year after adding it to our playlist, it absolutely blew me away and I have not stopped listening to it almost daily since. Even Ozzy agrees about it being the best cover of War Pigs ever, so I feel justified.
Eurus - The Oh Hellos Spotify | YouTube
But still the bait hanging from the string is calling my name. And like the wind it slips again, out of my fingers.
This is probably an all time fav song. It's on one of my non XIV writing playlists and so it has been on heavy rotation in my head and my heart for a long, long time now. And probably will be forever c': What I love most about it is the length and the way it builds and stops suddenly. It's a short song, that is very full, right until the moment it's over. A lot like the message in its lyrics!
Rings - Aesop Rock Spotify | YouTube
Shapes falling out of the fringe. All heart though we would have made cowardly kings. They will chop you down just to count your rings.
I am a big Aesop Rock fan. My husband got me into him many years ago and although he has many more recent tracks than this; including some wicked 8-bit tunes, this is probably my favorite song of his. It's also very vibes for me atm because work related shenanigans which I shan't give my precious blog space to any more than that c':
I thought about tagging some moots, but actually guys, I love music so much I'm leaving this as an open tag to all of you! I'd love to know what all the folks in our tumblr neighbourhood are listening to! Recommend me tunes! <33

RANDOM POKEMON SWSH THINGS/QUESTIONS/ HEADCANONS THAT LIVE IN MY HEAD RENT FREE:
I find it interesting that while Leon did mention that he knew the mc from Hop, but never really seen them himself. Like I get that it's implied that mc hadn't been in Postwick for a long time, since Leon only heard of them through Hop, but I'd assume that maybe a video call or something where he can actually see mc. Or maybe I'm overthinking it
If mc's did move to Postwick only recently to the games events( say ranging from a few months to a year), I find it quite amazing how much trust Hop has in them. Like, I understand fast friendships, or people just clicking together but THAT amount of trust and friendship for someone you honestly just meet is kinda much( at least for me anyway).
Also, of that's the case I would have liked to see that aspect of the relationship between mc and Hop explored a bit more ( though what we got in the games are alright).
Leon has a fucking Charizard jeep
King shit right there
Raihan's tall and Milo is small.
Raihan last gym leader, Milo first
The cinematic poetry of those two is immaculate. And very funny when you think about it.
I wish we got to see Nessa and Sonia interact in the game
Though I understand.....the queens in this game are far to powerful. They'll throw the whole game off
Gordie isn't blonde( blond?) what
I want to see Gordie's sibling
They're too cute to ignore
Not to mention it'll great for the the theme of the game
I like how the game hammers home that the adults in the game where once kids, and they went through stuff and still going through it. Idk. I just think it's neat.( *cough* Sonia*cough)
I can't tell if Piers hair is naturally black and white, or if he dyed it.
MARNIE
HOP
BEDE
I want them to be friends
I want them to interact more!
This is why fanfic exist
Still conflicted on how I feel about Rose, but I do not that he had potential.
Oleana deserves better.
Minor league??? Can we see it????
If there's a minor in Galar, would that mean they're minor leagues in other regions or is it just a Galar thing?
HOP
He's one of my fav rivals.
I'm so proud of him
I wonder if at any point in time he Hop see's Sonia more of a sibling than Leon?
Not saying that he doesn't love Leon!
But Sonia have been there for him more during his journey
Or maybe this is my angsty brain making me suffer
Kabu is a dad
So is Peony
Stop hating on Nia she's cool
Jk you can have your opinions
Just don't be mean to others
But I actually like her a lot
Give me big sis vibes
I haven't talked about Bea and Allister and that's a crime
I feel like Bea would be close to the mc and rivals age.( To what I headcanon to be 15) Maybe 16 or 17
Allister is the youngest....maybe 10? 11? Idk, I just know he's smol abd needs to be protected.
Also they're siblings. No I won't take criticism.
I like the idea that Raihan is either A) a random dude who likes history B) a decedent of either royalty or some high position or C) is an older brother himself but the games where to cowardly to show us his siblings.
There was this theory about Raihan being related to Rose, and by extension Peony, somehow, and I low-key want to see more of that. It's VERY interesting to think about.
Bede's a little shit and I love him for it.
OPAL
I've committed the worst crime in not talking about her.
Faery grandma
Maybe fae herself, we don't know
Rose is low-key scared of her.
Can't blame him
A good grandma
With her cool fairy pokemon
Pink
Yes
Last one
Milo is a great hugger. His muscles are big and his hands are soft and thus he gives the best hugs.

recently followed and have been reading all your fics- can I request the bad things bingo “reopening an old wound” with Arthur being too tough to stay in bed like gaius said and Merlin taking care of him 🥺
HELLO OMG. this is so kind🥺thank you for following and reading my fics!! it truly means a lot to me🥺💞 i hope this doesn’t disappoint!! (also you sent this like over a week ago ajsmaja im so sorry it took me so long. i wrote this instead of sleeping tonight just for you😌🙌🏻)
Tumblr media
here it is on ao3 and down below!! thank you so much again🥺
Merlin was going to strap Arthur to his bed—and not in the fun way. The dollophead was just so adamant in joining this stupid tournament he was hosting for the dignitaries that came from Nemeth.
“Merlin,” Arthur drawled out in that totally-not-endearing-way he does, “we’ve been over this! I must participate. I am King for a reason! I cannot back down. How would I look to them? Cowardly?” He scoffed at Merlin, who was scowling at the fireplace to refrain from magicking the king to another land for the entirety of the tournament.
“Stop that.” Arthur demanded, coming to sit down next to Merlin.
“I didn’t do anything.”
Arthur huffed, “You’re thinking about doing something illegal to get me out of this.”
Merlin frowned, “No. I wasn’t.”
“Hmhmm,” Arthur sang in disbelief, “I’m sure.”
Merlin sighed in defeat, “Arthur, you just started healing from the hunting accident and you know Gaius will be crossed that you directly went against his advice to stay in bed.”
Arthur folded his arms against his chest, “I’m not scared of going against Gaius, Merlin.”
Merlin smirked, “Now who’s lying?”
Arthur slumped against the front of the chair, “Alright, Gaius can be scary. But I’ve already made up my mind. And if anything does happen to me, you’ll be there anyways, right? What’s to worry about?”
Merlin conceded to that, “Fine, but just know I’ll be mad the entire time.”
Arthur let out a light laugh, placing his hand on Merlin’s shoulder, “I can live with that.”
Merlin fake scowled at him, making Arthur laugh again, so, just because he could, he magicked a pillow to hit the King’s face—this led to a very dignified pillow fight that both will profusely refuse happened later.
~~~~~~~~~~
Arthur wouldn’t say he regretted participating per se, but when his shoulder started pounding and, if he looked at it for longer than three seconds, blood may be seeping through his tunic, he can’t really say he was happy with his early choices.
Not that he would tell Merlin this, of course, who was giving him a waterskin with narrowed eyes.
“Arthur.”
“Hmm?” Arthur was staring at the two men fighting in the arena, each wielding quarterstaffs, who were amateur fighters at best.
“You’re favoring your right side, did you know that?”
Arthur’s head snapped to Merlin, “What? No I’m not.”
Merlin scowled at him, “You’re lying!”
Arthur pouted, “No I’m not.”
Merlin gasped, pointing a finger in his chest, “You’re doing it again! Arthur, you have some tells, you know.”
Arthur swatted away the finger, “No I don’t.”
Merlin, the idiot, laughed, “No? You always raise your eyebrows a bit when you lie, sire , and I know this for a fact.”
Arthur frowned, he thought he grew out of that, “No one can ever tell! I have to lie all the time in court and no one ever calls me out!”
Merlin sighed, rather dramatically, “Arthur, they also didn’t spend every godforsaken second for years memorizing your emotions as I did.”
Arthur tilted his head, contemplating that, “Why did you do that?”
That took Merlin off guard, which Arthur had hoped for, giving his servant a sly smile, as Merlin went violently red, a flush coming up from his neck to his ears, “What else was I supposed to do? I look at your face for the majority of the day, Arthur. I’m sure you know all my tells as well.”
Arthur hummed nonchalantly, “Whatever you say, Merlin.”
He did know all of Merlin’s mannerisms and what they meant, but he wasn’t going to say that nor was that his goal here.
Merlin shook his head, the momentarily forgotten anger returning, “That wasn’t the point! You’re hurt!”
At the same time Arthur opened his mouth to lie again, he was called out for his next match. That was his goal—to distract the mother hen of a servant until it was too late.
With a what can you do? shrug, that made Merlin frown more, Arthur quickly spun and walked onto the field, ignoring the burning stare of his worried warlock at his back.
~~~~~~~~~~
Merlin groaned as Arthur won the match, again. The idiot was hurting himself. Merlin could tell by the subtle weight changes to his right side, the way his smile didn’t reach his eyes, the way he paled slightly when Gwaine slapped him on the shoulder in congratulations.
He couldn’t believe this was the man he fell in love with. Destiny was a cruel thing indeed.
Merlin watched as Arthur let himself be manhandled by his knights, and Merlin couldn’t help but realize that put the entire gaggle of men in armor between them. Merlin narrowed his eyes at the rather clever tactic by his king.
As if sensing his disappointing glare, Arthur’s eyes found his. At least this time Arthur looked marginally apologetic, but not enough for Merlin’s taste. Was it really so bad that Merlin actually cared for Arthur’s well-being more than a stupid tournament?
He couldn’t fathom this. How was hitting people worth the pain Arthur must be in? Merlin grimaced when Leon slung his arm over the king, who imperceptibly winced at the movement.
When the next round called up, Merlin wanted to slam his head against the fence. Arthur was going against a sorcerer this round, because apparently the Merlin didn’t have enough to worry about as it was.
The sorcerer bounced on her heels, smiling at the king. Arthur smiled back, if not a little perplexed at the bubbly nature of the woman, and they shook hands.
Maybe this won’t go horribly wrong?
But when it began, Merlin recanted his statement vehemently. Of course it would go horribly wrong, it was Arthur he was talking about.
When the woman swung her quarterstaff at Arthur’s injured shoulder with her eyes glowing, Merlin jumped out of his seat. He ran into the field the second the staff hit its mark: Arthur went even more pale, and with a loud pained gasp, let go of his sword, landing roughly on his knees, grasping his shoulder.
Merlin didn’t hesitate. He took a stance between his king and the sorcerer, making Arthur’s blade fly into his own hand.
“Sorry, this ends now,” and with a swing of his sword, his eyes glowing the deepest golden, he attacked. Relentless, hurried, and cursing, Merlin had the woman at sword point in the matter of seconds—without breaking a sweat.
The woman’s eyes widened at the sword, hastily backing away with “I yield, my lord.”
Merlin wasn’t a lord, but he didn’t care to correct her as he handed the sword to Lance and went to Arthur’s side.
“That was a little overdramatic, don’t you think?” Arthur sighed out, pain clearly seen on his face, trying to make eye contact with Merlin.
Merlin grumbled, “Not remotely enough.”
Arthur let out a breathless, and delirious, laugh, “I think I’m bleeding out.”
And before anyone came closer, Merlin’s magic flared up.
The second he looked up, he realized that his magic brought them to Arthur’s chambers. With a small sigh of relief, Merlin made all the armor fall off and lifted Arthur’s tunic from over his head gently—hissing at the reopened wound pouring out blood.
“Arthur! You should have said something,” Merlin scolded, placing his hands of the opening and imagining the skin stitching itself back together—this would hold until Gaius came up and fixed Arthur himself.
Arthur looked at Merlin through clouded eyes, smiling softly, “Yeah, but what’s the fun in that?”
Merlin couldn’t help but soften at the look on Arthur’s face, “Careful, sire, keep looking at me like that and one could think you were besotted.”
Arthur murmured, “Indeed.”
Merlin was about to say something, not knowing what it would be, when Gaius crashed through the room with his healing bag in tow.
“Thank gods,” Merlin pushed himself out of the way as Gaius worked, helping him move Arthur to his bed when he was all patched up once more.
Arthur was lightly sleeping when Gaius made Merlin swear to magic the king down if he tried to move at all, and when Merlin swore his life on it, the old healer left them to their own devices.
An hour or two later, Merlin still hadn’t left Arthur’s chambers. He was currently sitting besides the king, placing a cool cloth to Arthur’s forehead, running his fingers through the golden sweat-soaked hair.
Merlin was singing softly when Arthur slowly opened his eyes.
“Merlin?”
“Arthur! How do you feel?”
Arthur groaned a little, trying to sit up, as he answered, “Not too good, I have to say.”
Merlin snorted, “Well serves you right. I told you that this was an idiotic plan. Why did you even do it? You have nothing to prove.”
Arthur was quiet for a minute as Merlin placed more pillows under him to make the king more comfortable, “I have everything to prove.”
Merlin sat back, confused, “To who? Camelot already adores you Arthur, and you’ve only been king for less than a year!”
Arthur sighed, leaning his head back, “To you, to myself, to my knights.”
At Merlin’s continued confused silence, Arthur made himself look at him, “To my knights, to show them that I can persevere. To myself, since this was the first tournament as King. And, to you, to show you that your devotion was worth it. That I was worth it.”
Merlin gaped, “Arthur! You have nothing to prove to me. Ever.” but when Arthur scoffed and looked away, Merlin lightly grabbed Arthur’s face and turned it to make Arthur see the truth written in Merlin’s eyes.
“Arthur, you are my king, now and always. I chose you because I knew that you are everything beautiful in this world. I give you my magic, my heart, and my life, because I know, in my soul, that you are the best person I will ever know. I never doubt my devotion to you because you prove time and time again how worthy you are of every title you bear. You are not only the best King to grace this land, but you are the very best of us. I know you, Arthur Pendragon, inside and out—so, please, never doubt your worth to me.”
Merlin lightly rubbed the tear off Arthur’s face that had slipped out, and Merlin muttered, “And if you ever try to fight with a recently closed wound again, after I specifically tell you not to, then I will find a way to strap you here and never let you leave my sight again.”
Arthur let out a small wet laugh at that, grabbing Merlin’s wrist. And while rubbing small circles there, that had Merlin’s pulse quickening, “I don’t know,” Arthur whispered, “when you defended me like that on the field, it was quite attractive. I would have appreciated it more if I hadn’t been bleeding out and delirious.”
Merlin laughed under his breath, “I should apologize to her, huh?”
Arthur shrugged his good shoulder, “You can after.”
Merlin quirked an eyebrow, “After what?”
Arthur gave a playful smile as he pulled Merlin into a kiss by his neckerchief. Merlin gasped, quickly reciprocating, a small smile forming at his lips.
And when they pulled back, foreheads resting on each other, Arthur quietly breathed out, “I love you too.”

Voyager Class Ideas
Since Type-Moon has kindly confirmed that Voyager is a real class and not just the name of its current only hero, Voyager 1, so as with every other class, I’m going to speculate on its potential members before Type-Moon even explains what the qualifications are
Going by the name and the one member, I think we can safely assume that it’s a class for heroes who go on voyages, perhaps even designating its members as Heroic Spirits of the Journey (or of the Voyage, but that’s redundant). As a voyage is traditionally defined as a journey taken aboard a ship (across water or through space) I imagine a number of Riders would qualify, specifically those who traveled far from home by sea, such as Jason on the Argo, Captain Nemo on the Nautilus, or the various pirate Servants like Blackbeard on the Queen Anne’s Revenge. 
I don’t imagine a ship is a hard requirement here, though, and even someone traveling on foot would probably qualify if they went far enough. The journey itself rather than the mode of transportation is most likely the deciding factor here. People who embarked on epic quests like King Arthur and his knights in search of the Holy Grail or Gilgamesh in search of immortality might qualify by this definition, though again it might depend on how far from home they had to travel. I was actually planning to use the Wandering Jew here to fit that concept, but he’s already a canon character in Requiem, so I don’t feel right using him.
Sinbad the Sailor: 
Roc- Sinbad summons a giant bird by removing his turban, which Sinbad wraps around the Roc’s leg to use it for transportation or command it to attack enemies with its talons, beak, or boulders; this qualifies Sinbad for Rider class. 
Aspidochelone- a Reality Marble where both Sinbad and a target are stranded on an island, which is in reality a whale; should either combatant make too much noise, start a fire, damage the island, or otherwise alert it to their presence, the whale will submerge, crushing them under the waves; the Reality Marble can be dissipated by killing Sinbad in time, and the sinking can be survived with flight, Skills or Noble Phantasms related to survival or water, or a sufficient Luck stat. 
By Fortune and Fate- as Sinbad was able to survive the many disasters he attracted and subsequently accumulate so many treasures either by coincidence or the misfortune of others, Sinbad is able to survive in even the unlikeliest of circumstances, and defeated Servants will leave behind their Noble Phantasms (if applicable) for Sinbad to claim as his own, though they will generally be weakened. 
Sinbad’s Armaments include a bow and arrow (Archer), a scimitar (Saber), and the Cyclops’ two iron spits (Lancer).
Thorfinn Karlsefni: 
Vinland- Thorfinn creates a Reality Marble of a tranquil village, wherein he offers food and drink to an enemy Servant in exchange for laying down their arms; should they take the offer, the opposing Servant will gain an increase in their stats in exchange for becoming an ally to Thorfinn until the final battle of the Holy Grail War; should they refuse, the two will commence battle immediately, with the enemy Servant suffering a stat decrease. 
Thor’s Boon- the beached whale that sustained Thorfinn’s crew through the winter, eating its meat heals Thorfinn’s wounds and can even sustain his mana supply should something happen to his Master. The whale has no direct use in combat, though a sufficiently strong Servant may be able to lift it and wield it as a blunt object. As a carcass, it can potentially spread illness to Servants in the form of a stat decrease, which would be especially potent in Christian Servants.
Skraeling Bull- Thorfinn summons a bull that goes on a rampage and instills a strong urge to retreat in enemies without sufficiently strong mental fortitude; natives of the land the bull is summoned in will have much greater difficulty resisting the urge to retreat.
If Thorfinn is summoned on the east coast of Canada, where Vinland is believed to be located, his stats dramatically increase and all of his Noble Phantasms rank up
Ponce de Leon: 
Fountain of Youth- entering the waters of the fountain allows de Leon to recover from any wound so long as he still has mana; drinking the water separately from the fountain allows for healing of any non-fatal wound.
Lemuel Gulliver: 
Adventure- aboard the ship that brought Gulliver to (at least one of) his various destinations, Gulliver can direct or randomly spin the helm to face the ship towards one of them; Lilliput- enemy Servants are swarmed by the tiny Lilliputians; Brobdingnag- enemies are attacked by giants; Balnibarbi- enemies are attacked by stones dropped from the floating island of Laputa or Laputa falls upon them; Glubbdubdrib- Gulliver visits a non-classed necromancer who allows him to consult with spirits, generally for the sake of learning more about other Servants; Houyhnhnm-Land- Servants are trampled by a stampede of talking horses or attacked by a ravenous pack of deformed, human-like Yahoos. 
Yahoos With the Gift of Speech- a passive Noble Phantasm, Gulliver’s disdainful view of humans causes humans and Servants of human origin in his vicinity to begin to lose intelligence and reason (with the exception of his own Master); Servants that are less human, such as being partially or completely of Divine, monstrous, mechanical, or bestial origin, suffer a smaller decrease based on how little humanity they have.
Dorothy Gale: 
Silver Shoes/Ruby Slippers- grants Dorothy the ability to instantly travel wherever she wishes as well as granting protection from harm; though the ruby variant is more well known, the shoes were originally silver in the novels, thus allowing Dorothy to change them to their original silver to hide her identity, though invoking Ruby Slippers as the True Name grants her greater magic on account of their infamy. 
Tin-Man/Scarecrow/Cowardly Lion- Dorothy can summon any of her companions as non-classed Servants. 
Toto- though she generally won’t use him, Dorothy’s dog can exit her basket to engage in combat; he can also speak to Dorothy to give advice.
Chicxulub Impactor (personification of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs; also qualifies for Foreigner): 
Alvarez Hypothesis- Chicxulub summons an asteroid to crush their target; officially, this is an Anti-Planet Noble Phantasm, but if summoned through the Holy Grail, its power is actually limited to either Anti-Army or Anti-Fortress to prevent global destruction. Fragments of the full impactor can be broken off to be used as Armaments without invoking its True Name, and may be used to change the impactor’s area of effect.
[Note: I also considered Robinson Crusoe, Doctor Dolittle and Don Quixote, but I decided against them because while they are all known for voyages and journey, I felt they were either potentially better suited for other classes or just weren’t as interesting as other options. I may add them in here later, but I generally try to limit these posts to about five or six Heroes. I also considered Phileas Fogg and Dante Alighieri, but I’ve already used both of them in a previous post and I didn’t want to use any repeats if I could help it. All of these Heroes that I ignored are perfectly viable, I just didn’t take the time to put their Noble Phantasms in this post.]

Leon Fanbook Translation: Profile
Link to the Takumi Fanbook
Introduction
Look who actually kept her promise! This still took me forever and a half, but I am very happy I got it pushed out within the time frame I imagined. Things are off to a good start, I think.
Before we continue, here is the same note as before: As I am currently without a real income, I would very much appreciate it if you could throw me a couple bucks via my ko-fi account. It doesn’t have to be a lot, just what you think my translations are worth really.
My comments in italics
I will be using the Japanese names

Profile
Prince Leon's Profile
His personal data, history, as well as dialogue and all sorts of information will be shown here. Before we can really know, and therefore talk about the younger Nohrian Prince Leon, we need to some basic information on him.
Tumblr media
Just what kind of person is Leon, the younger Prince of Nohr? If we start with data such as age, height and weight of the person in question and analyse everything until we arrive at topics such as his mother and his family, the information we can gain on him is not inconsiderable. Trying to pinpoint more through his in-game profile description “likes tomatoes the most out of everyone in the army”, one can glean his favourite food. Once he gets started, the praise he heaps upon tomatoes can become quite disconcerting. It seems that even with the 40 to 47 pages of published material, questionnaire results and submitted art,
Tumblr media
Leon’s image is forever associated with tomatoes. But, that’s not all. To be worthy of being called a Leon fan, it is necessary to know and understand him by collecting all the surrounding information on him, and thereby truly ascertain his character. Definitely things like him pretending to be cold in order to push others away, or how much he prides himself in being a strategist. Perhaps he also uses the strong impression left by something like his obsession with tomatoes to conceal the things about his character that he doesn’t want others to know.

History Data
Early Years
He was born as the child of King Garon of Nohr. In those days, Garon would keep a number of concubines, from whom he also received a lot of children, beside his legal wife Ekaterina. The woman who became Leon's mother was one of them. Their royal children's claim to the throne, as well as their constant aim to become worthy in the eyes of their “spouse”*, meant that the rivalry between the concubines grew ever more tense, and they soon became wrapped up in intrigues that were literally dripping with blood. Because of Leon's mother, who stood in opposition to the main faction belonging to Ekaterina, he did not have any contact with his older siblings, Marx and Camilla, during his early years.
Childhood Years
His handsome features inherited from his mother, and moreover his possessing an overwhelming number of outstanding qualities, made Garon take notice of Leon even among his many siblings. Leon's mother would use this fact as a trump card against Ekaterina's faction, as well as the mothers of the other children, in order to assert her own superiority. Compared to her stated motive of looking out for her son's interests, her desire to turn the King's love and attention towards her was clearly more important. According to Leon's own recollections, she never displayed much of what could be called „a mother's love“ towards her son. When Leon seemed to turn his talents towards the magic arts, his exceptional qualities became yet more polished as they bloomed. Once he reached the position of one of the most preeminent magic users in the kingdom, Leon was given a place at Garon's side next to Marx and Camilla. At the same time, Garon's many illegitimate children, as things were progressing towards the conclusion of their violent struggle over the selection process, finally acknowledged each other's existence.
Tumblr media
As for Leon, together with his older siblings, Marx, Camilla, Kamui, as well as his younger sister, Elise, he formed a unit that would later come to be referred to as the „The Nohrian siblings“. For someone like him, who grew up without receiving any parental love, there can be no doubt that the warmth reflected in the eyes of his siblings was a great source of happiness for him.
Once the war breaks out
And so, Leon, who had attained an untouchable position among the Nohrian royalty, continued expanding his magical abilities to become a Dark Knight of the highest order within the army. When he entered, it was with the Divine Weapon Brunhilde in his hands. Thanks to his tremendous powers, he was granted the title of „Gravity Master“. Due to not having had many allies because of the circumstances of his birth, he has a hard time trusting others, as well as a deep hatred for cowardly deeds and acts of betrayal. To tell the truth, his Nohrian brethren have in the past been on the receiving end of Leon's mercilessly executed punishments. This is why he is called cold-blooded, but instead it would be more apt to say that he is shaking with anger and unease on the inside. On the surface he appears to have a cool-head, and because of that seeing his true self sometimes shine through the cracks of the mask is all the more meaningful – For those who are familiar enough with him, this too is just another big part of „Prince Leon's“ appeal.    
Resolution, as well as the future
As these events become history, it says that as the Nohrian and Hoshidan royalty joined hands and fought their mutual enemy together, the two younger princes, who grew up in similar circumstaces, seemingly displayed a mutual affinity for each other. It is further says that during battle Leon would rely on only his older brother, Marx, as well as his retainers, Odin and Zero, but after these events it would seem there is documented proof that the name of the younger Hoshidan Prince, Takumi, was added to the list as well. Leon's signature divine weapon „Brunhilde“ would later be inherited by his son, Foleo.

Monologue
Prince Leon's monologue
Level Up (Worst): Maybe my bearing wasn't befitting of royalty... Level Up (Low): Well, as expected. Level Up (Good): I'm glad this didn't end in embarrassment. Level Up (Best): It scares even me to see how strong I've become. Level Up (Max): I am already strong, so don't you think this is enough? Class Change: Hm, I trust that my clothes didn't turn inside out?
Buying: Be sure to pick something out that looks good on me, alright? Buying (salesperson): Only you would ever buy things for the person running the store. Selling: I would prefer if you didn't just go around selling my belongings... Selling (salesperson): Having my own belongings sold to me... it's painful. Forging: I'll show you I can handle any kind of weapon. Forging (salesperson): I dislike physical labour... I wonder if I can't just use magic?
Defeat (Classic Mode): No way... To think someone like me could be defeated... Although, I should accept death with dignity, I simply can't do that to my siblings... Allow me to retreat here... Defeat (Casual Mode): How dare you... To think of all people, I'd be forced to retreat... This is humiliating...  
------------------------
1. Boku: The more non-threatening yet still distinctly male form of I. 2. Kisama: Used to be formal, but is now an incredibly rude way to say you (though also a bit antiquated). I think Leon mostly uses this with Ganz, Zola and Macbeth, as well as Corrin for part of Birthright. 3. Anata: Standard, “polite” way to say you.(although it has to be said that in common Japanese pronouns are not often used, and even anata can seem rude or weird when used in excess) 4. Omae: Literally “you in front of me”. Not the most polite, but can be used in casual situations. I think Leon mostly uses it with Elise. 5. The kanji used here was  夫 or literally husband. The concubines apparently considered Garon this, even if they weren’t on Ekaterina’s level, but I thought this would sound confusing, so I am clearing it up here. 
Overally, I am enjoying the Leon book so far, although I would have liked if they had included more info about the conclusion of the concubine war and what exactly happened to Leon’s mom (or at least give her name!!).

A Child With the Gods
Chapter 8
(Series Rating E 18+)
                                       Love’s Infinite Depth
     “D-Does that mean what I think it means?!” Ichthys asks with eyes still wide in awe. It’s pretty apparent to everyone that the answer is “Yes.” Unable to find the right words to say Zyglavis just stands there in shock unsure of how to proceed. Just looking at him I can see the immense internal struggle. I on the other hand feel such overwhelming joy knowing that the god I seem to have fallen madly in love with is the Father to one of my children. Unable to hide it any longer from my face I burst into tears from sheer happiness. 
     No one else in the room seems to know what to say or do and subsequently does nothing. I continue to stare at that incredibly tiny and precious little hand seeking out it’s Father’s warmth.
     “Z-Zyglavis, look. Your little one wants so desperately to touch you. You  should-” Before I can finish my sentence he is on his knees resting his cheek against my belly and pressing soft kisses to the tiny little palm. As soon as he does this our baby seems to come even more alive almost as if it wants to play with him. My heart is so full it’s painful. Looking up at me with the most beautiful smile I have ever seen Zyglavis himself is in tears making this moment without a doubt the happiest of my life.
     “Wooooooow! How cute is that?! Ziggy is a daddy!” 
     “Pffft....cute? More like terrifying. I actually feel bad for the poor kid.”
     “Leon! That was seriously mean!” Looking completely unfazed Zyglavis simply takes my hand in his, his smile never faltering. 
     “Nothing can ruin this moment for me. Not even the Rabid Lion.” There’s a calmness in him I have never seen before. A sort of serenity.
     “Zig, I ain’t one to tell ya how to do things but, don’t forget she’s still mortal and that makes your kid a demigod. Don’t forget what the King said.” Scorpio’s expression does not match the harshness in his tone. Never having heard anything about this before I can’t help but glance between Zyglavis and Scorpio waiting for one of them to explain to me what he is referring to.
     “I am aware. I must admit I was quite unprepared to face the reality of this situation when all of this began. That is no longer the case. I have found something precious to me worth protecting and I do not refer simply to the life I have helped create.” His confession surprises even me. While I knew he loved me to hear it in his own words and being said aloud in front of the others somehow finally made it feel real. 
     “What about you woman? Do you love Zig the same way?” Suddenly all eyes are on me and I feel a lump in my throat. While the answer is undeniably yes part of me hesitates to say it simply because one of the others is still the Father of my other child. I don’t want to risk making anything unnecessarily painful for whomever that may be. 
     Seeing me fret Zyglavis simply smiles knowing that I absolutely return his feelings but am unsure of how to proceed without hurting anyone.
     “It is unfair to ask something such as that Scorpio. She is faced with many difficult decisions yet to come and I am not selfish enough as to expect her to declare her feelings in this state. Please, allow her time to figure out what to do.” I can’t help staring at him purely amazed that this is the same Zyglavis I met some time ago. It’s like all of this has completely changed him for the better. Though if asked not all of his subordinates would agree. Zyglavis is known and depended on for his strict adherence to the law and also his seemingly merciless fortitude in the face of doling out divine Punishment and Retribution. Looking at this serene and truly happy expression he now wears it’s hard to imagine him that way at all.
     “Tch. You’ve gone pretty soft Zig. Better be careful is all I’m sayn’. You know where the King stands on all this.” That’s the last Scorpio says before exiting the room leaving an awkward sort of tension in the air.
     Another month has passed since the day we discovered one of my children was fathered by Zyglavis. With that knowledge the other’s don’t seem to mind or even complain when Zyglavis starts spending more time with me. I am grateful for his company as I cannot believe I have actually managed to grow so much larger still. Carrying the weight of two extremely healthy and prosperous babies coupled with my gigantic breasts has taken it’s tole on my back. It’s nearly impossible for me to be comfortable anywhere other than my bed in the mansion. Worried for the three of us Zyglavis however sees to it that I at least get out once a day and take a stroll around the garden with him. The air always works it’s magic leaving me feeling refreshed.
     We’re talking and laughing when Scorpio suddenly appears out of nowhere looking a lot more severe than usual.
     “What’s wrong?” Zyglavis instantly transforms into the Minister of Punishments upon seeing his Vice Minister’s expression.
     “There’s been a development overseas. That group we’ve been keepn’ our eye on has finally made a move. The King wants to see us immediately.” Unhappy with the turn events Zyglavis turns to me before placing both hands on my shoulders.
     “I may be unavailable for a few days but do not fear. The moment this situation is under control I will immediately return to your side.” I simply nod in agreement trying to hide the aggravation and disappointment of this situation having the worst timing. With a tender smile he places a gentle kiss to my forehead which as usual causes movement in the womb. Unable to do anything but smile at that simple indescribable joy I watch him go before slowly making my way back to my room. 
          “Do you really love him goldfish?” Leon’s sudden unexpected voice in close proximity startles me causing me to spin around. His cocky grin is nowhere to be found.
     “And if I do?” Leon’s troubled expression starts to turn angry.
     “That uptight nag doesn’t deserve you.” His harsh words leave me speechless as he continues to stare at me intensely. 
     “Have you forgotten his cruelty toward you when we first met you?” The sudden memory of Zyglavis being hellbent on killing me flashes through my mind.
     “I-It’s not like that anymore!”
     “How can you be so sure? He may be playing the part right now but once he has his child you will be of no consequence to him.”
     “H-How can you say that?! Zyglavis would never...” Unable to finish my sentence at the sudden pain Leon’s thoughtless words bring me I feel an anger begin to rise when that ‘I told ya so’ smirk looks down at me coolly.
     “Y-You’re just...jealous!” I shout angrily at him causing a displeased expression to take it’s place.
     “Me jealous? Preposterous. Nothing about that stick in the mud is worth being jealous of. Just don’t come crying to me when he breaks your heart.” When he turns to walk away I feel an overwhelming rage wash through me. ‘How dare he say such cruel things and then simply walk away!’  Before he takes more than a few steps, unable to control my overflowing emotions I reach out and grab his jacket to try and prevent him from walking away from me. His expression when he turns around quickly informs me that it was a very bad decision. He grips my wrist firmly in order to remove my hand from him but doesn’t let go. Instead he stares me down overwhelming me with his intimidating presence. Suddenly very much aware that I overstepped my bounds I shrink against myself until a stern voice shouts from down the hall.
     “Please remove your hand, you are scaring her.” Looking past Leon I am surprised to see my ex looking almost as severe as Leon. I am utterly shocked. Neither of us have said so much as a word since we went our separate ways.
     “Oh-ho! Nice to see you finally take an interest in this mess you made.” The two gods stare daggers at each other before Leon surprisingly relinquishes his grip. His trademark smirk returning before simply turning and walking away before disappearing into his room. Unsure of what exactly just happened I can’t help but stand there shaking. I can’t tell if it’s due to fear, anger, sadness or any combination thereof. 
     Hue silently makes his way toward me before taking my trembling hands in his cool one’s. When our eye’s meet the all too familiar pain of what transpired many months ago still lingers. 
     “Umm...t-thank you.....for protecting me and stuff.” As usual he says nothing but offers a small smile in return.
     “Are you alright?” Now it’s my turn to remain speechless as I simply nod. Several moments pass awkwardly before one of us speaks again.
     “I apologize for the distance I have caused between us. I simply couldn’t bare to see you with hurt that I caused you in your eyes. It was cowardly and selfish of me I know.” He finally offers.
     “N-No. I understand. It was difficult for me at first to even look at you.” I begin to tell him honestly.
     “But now, after everything that’s happened.....I.....I want us to at least be able to talk. I can’t pretend I’ll ever understand your reasons for doing what you did, but....I do however forgive you. I...miss you. I miss your snarky jokes and....the way you always seemed to know exactly what I needed.” Now that I’ve started I’m finding it hard to stop, the tears dripping from my chin. Hue too is teary eyed but says nothing and instead smiles warmly before wrapping his cool hand around the back of my neck bringing my forehead to his. His eyes close a moment and a single tear falls down his cheek. When he opens his eyes again there is a sadness I haven’t seen since we first met. 
     He quickly lets go and transforms back into the god I have come to know as Huedhaut. 
     ��You are always welcome to talk to me and I hope in time we can once again become good friends.” 
     “But what if you’re-”
     “I am not the other Father.” 
     “What? H-How do you-”
     “I saw it, just now when our foreheads touched.” There’s a wistful sadness in his smile utterly breaking my heart. I can’t help myself from reaching out to gently caress the side of his face with my palm.
     “Hue....I....”
     “Aren’t you curious as to who the Father is?” 
     “It doesn’t matter.”
     “What did you just say?”
     “All I care about at this moment is you. I’m so sorry...”
     “Sorry? You have nothing to be sorry for.”
     “I’m sorry that you got hurt regardless of how we got here. I’m sorry for whatever the reason is that you sometimes look at me with such a sorrow I probably will never understand. I’m sorry that I didn’t handle everything better when you opened up and told me the truth. Most of all I’m sorry that ....in the end....we couldn’t stay together. But I mean it when I tell you this, nothing can ever change the love I will always have in my heart for you Huedhaut. There’s a part of me that still even now feels like it belongs to you and only you and in the same sense I feel like a part of you is always with me.”
     “You. What am I going to do with you? A million lifetimes can come and go yet I promise you my feelings for you will never change. Not ever. All I want....all I have ever wanted is your happiness. If it is not with me than I will simply wait until the next life to find you once more. Then I will earn your love and prove myself worthy to keep it.” My heart hurts so impossibly deeply I can barely breathe as he says those words to me. He presses one last kiss to the back of my hand before smiling.
     “I will always be here for you no matter what. You can always come to me without need for an explanation so please, do not hesitate anymore. Let us begin to rebuild, only this time as friends.”
     “Thank you Hue. Truly. Thank you.” Wrapping my arms around him I hug him tightly hoping he can feel how much I still care.

what were sig and leon up to when the ebon blade invaded the pally hall and killed a bunch of folks+tried to rez tirion? what are their thoughts about it?
Tumblr media
I haven’t done the DK campaign myself but as I understand it, the only reason the DKs were able to infiltrate the sanctuary under Light’s Hope in the first place is because most of the paladin forces, including the Highlord, had already left to defend their priest allies from a demon invasion in Netherlight Temple.  
Rescuing his husband the priests from the Legion was the only thing on Sig’s mind.  There was no warning the Ebon Blade was waiting to attack.
Some knights were left behind to protect the hall but they weren’t expecting the Four Three Horseman and a Deathlord to come stomping through.  Liadrin put up a good fight but she was still 1 ret paladin VS 5 DKs so she got dumpstered.  Thankfully the Light saw that shit go down and torched the DKs, which UNFORTUNATELY didn’t technically kill anyone but Darion was thoroughly microwaved from the inside out.
So all this happened while both Sig and Leon and most of the other paladin forces were away.  They have no idea until they come back to the aftermath.
First of all Sig is still a Blood Knight so seeing beloved matriarch Lady Liadrin roughed up makes him rage because HOW DARE someone do this to Our Lady!!  It’s tough too because Liadrin is so brave and strong and she still got beat, like dang you never wanna see the people you look up to feelin that way.
Second of all he dislikes most death knights anyway (for soooo may personal reasons) so hearing it was a rabble of DKs who strolled in, rezzed a bunch of dead crusaders, carelessly killed a bunch of knights, beat up Liadrin, then attempted to raise Tirion fucking Fordring into UNDEATH all while knowing the paladins weren’t there to defend him was the most outrageous, cowardly, unforgivably HORRIBLE thing the DKs could’ve done to the paladins at this point.  Sig is not an amazing paladin himself but even he feels deeply, personally offended by what was done.  There was NO justification for this attack NONE.
And it’s so shitty because even after the Ashen Verdict, after so many collaborative efforts between the Orders and the Ebon Blade in several campaigns, after years of what felt like a steady truce between the two sides, it seems the death knights have made their move.  Sig has no authority over the Orders but it doesn’t matter because pretty much every paladin was in agreement that the death knights had declared themselves the enemy.  With the Legion bearing down on Azeroth the paladins can’t spare any forces to retaliate, but rest assured this second assault on Light’s Hope will not be forgotten anytime soon.  The Ashbringer was made to destroy the enemies of the Light and Sig won’t hesitate to use it against the death knights if/when it comes to that. 
If the Orders let him. >:U
Leon spent a lot of time with the Argents at Light’s Hope years ago (in fact that’s where he met Elton) and the place means a lot to him, as it does for so many Light users.  While he had heard horrific accounts of the Lich King’s assault on Light’s Hope he never saw the damage with his own eyes.  Now he has a perfect view of what the death knights are capable of.  While not as catastrophic as the Lich King’s assault years ago it still shakes Leon to see innocent blood and misery permeating this holy place.  Besides the lives lost and the wounds dealt, the worst is knowing the death knights intended to steal Tirion from the Light’s embrace in order to damn him to an eternity of undead servitude.  They wanted to make a monster out of him, a twisted mockery of everything his memory stands for.  Darion was Tirion’s most trusted friend.. how could this be?  Hate is a strong word for Leon but even he finds it hard to understand, let alone forgive, such a vicious act.  How could they do this?
The only good that comes from the death knight attack is it exposes some rather specific weaknesses in the Light’s Hope defenses, weaknesses the Orders are quick to address.  It’s not much of a sanctuary if your enemy can just kick down the door and walk in.  >__>
TL;DR BOLVAR IS A BIG BAG OF DICKS AND I HOPE WE GET TO KILL HIM IN WotLK 2.0 also I will fite every death knight (ง •̀_•́)ง

Leon Fanbook Translation: Famous Lines
Link to the Takumi Fanbook
Introduction
Profile
Another part down. Wasn’t as work intensive, but still took just as long as the other one due to fewer opportunities to work on it. But I think I like how I got it done and hope you enjoy reading it. 
Another note: Unless someone has any serious objections, I’ll be skipping over the Chronicle section of the fanbook. It’s really just the most barebones summary of what happens in each game chapter, with no new information or even commentary added. Pretty much just padding imo. That way I can get the more interesting sections that much sooner! Tell me if you think otherwise though.  
Before we continue, here is the same note as usual: As I am currently without a real income, I would very much appreciate it if you could throw me a couple bucks via my ko-fi account (link on my blog page). It doesn’t have to be a lot, just what you think my translations are worth really.
My comments in italics
I will be using the Japanese names
Tumblr media
Pages 10-11
Tumblr media
Famous Line[s]
Iconic Lines playback
We've brought various iconic lines of Leon from Conquest, Birthright and even Revelations. Let us bring back the fine lines he walked, his passion during intense battles and his reminiscences.
Tumblr media
“... I have my own way of doing things. That's all.“
Conquest Chapter 14 – Singing Voice of Paradise Although it was an order from his father, King Garon, Leon, who felt executing every dancer in the city to be unreasonable, skilfully managed to let them get away. What happened in the end ran directly counter to what Garon wanted, but without openly doubting the King of Nohr or behaving like a sycophant Leon did what absolutely had to be done.
Tumblr media
Sorry for the angle
“... What an eyesore. I won't show any mercy to the likes of you. Cowards of your ilk are a disgrace to our noble Kingdom of Nohr. Now at least show some dignity as you die...“
Tumblr media
Conquest Chapter 26 – Treason The words Leon threw at Macbeth, gaze filled with scorn as he finished him off. The Nohrian Tactician had been abusing his position by concocting various schemes, laying out despicable traps for Kamui's group and getting in their way on numerous occasions. Removing this “coward“, who ended up begging for his life until the end, was done to restore Nohr's pride.
Tumblr media
“Despicable fools... turn to dust already!!“
Tumblr media
Conquest Chapter 18 – Princes of Black and White Leon left quite the impression with his words against the traitor Zora. This is the scene where he demonstrated his „cold hearted“ mask quite clearly. His anger was mostly directed at himself rather than his subordinate, for having trusted someone like that even for a moment.
Zora’s scheme was bad, but considering he was following Garon’s orders can he really be called a traitor??
Page 11
Tumblr media
“... So I trust you recognize me then, big brother.“
Chapter 1 – Nohrian Brethren Leon's competitive side showed itself quite clearly in these words. Although Marx reassured him that he simply chose mastery of his magical talents over mastery of the sword, Leon personally felt alienated from the brother who saw his own strength wielded in his blade. As such his desire to have his own strength be recognized seeped through.
Tumblr media
“This country will surely become a wonderful place. That's the feeling I get.“
Tumblr media
Conquest Endgame – Light Fading Into Dusk After all the fighting had ended, these were the words he said to Marx, who was sworn to become the next King of Nohr, and the rest of his siblings. While they would remember the days of suffering and war, as well as the comrades who supported them throughout, now they could await the beautiful future lying in store for their country.
Tumblr media
Pages 12-13
Tumblr media
“Traitors are a disgrace to Nohr. Death shall be your redemption...“
Birthright Chapter 18 – Prince Leon of Nohr When confronting Kamui, who was leading Hoshidan forces to infiltrate Nohr, Leon threw angry words at them and challenged them to battle. His speech was supposed to convey his hatred for the Hoshidan-aligned Kamui having betrayed the siblings they grew up with.
Page 13
Tumblr media
“Listen. None of you have a grasp on his real power. … He is on an entirely different level.“
Birthright Chapter 18 – Prince Leon of Nohr After stepping aside himself, these are the words of advice he gave to Kamui, who was now headed towards a confrontation with Marx. Only because Leon has some ability with the sword himself did he know just how unassailable and completely out of reach his older brother truly was. However, he understood that Kamui needed to continue on their path and so he told them about Marx's meeting with the Rainbow Sage.
Glad someone aknowledges Leon’s abilities with the sword. It still goes ignored too often.
Tumblr media
“... I lied, sister (brother). I lied about hating you. The truth is... I always thought you...“
Birthright Chapter 18 – Prince Leon of Nohr Seeing as he normally puts up a very cold act, Leon is very bad at openly expressing affection. So here his true feelings for Kamui simply bubbled up and overflowed.
Tumblr media
“When I look at someone as despicable as you... I feel a strong sense of disgust.  Now, you disgrace. Are you prepared? Turn to dust already!!“
Birthright Chapter 25 – The Traitor's True Identity No matter the situation, he simply cannot forgive any cowardly deeds. His completely merciless attitude is undoubtedly the reason he came to be commonly known as „cold blooded“ among the Nohrian ranks.
Tumblr media
“Ahhh, too close! Your faces are just too close!“
Birthright Chapter 25 – The Traitor's True Identity Although the amount of tension in Leon increased with every moment the final battle drew closer, conversing with his trusted retainers surely lifted his heart.  
Tumblr media
Pages 14-15
Tumblr media
“... Hurry up and go already. The real Duke Izana is just past here. And moreover... you'll find that foolish Hoshidan princeling there as well.“
Revelation Chapter 10 – Voice of the Gods While his attitude towards the traitor Kamui remains cold, Leon was still swayed by the sincere words of his sibling. After dealing with the cowardly trap himself, it would seem he vented out some of his frustrations on the Hoshidan prince before leaving.
Tumblr media
“Hm? The Hoshidan royalty is all here as well? Then what was that kind of performance just now? My... how pathetic. Well, I'll at least credit you with having the devil's own luck.”
Revelation Chapter 17 – Black Flame Both Marx and Leon rushed to support Kamui's group in the difficult fight they had been forced into. Leon then made a biting comment about the difficult time the group had in repelling Macbeth.
People usually harp on Takumi, but Leon can be quite the rude little shit himself.
Tumblr media
“Appearing and disappearing as they please... what a disturbing fellow.“
Revelation Chapter 18 – The Unseen Kingdom What Leon said after jumping down to the bottom of the Infinite Chasm, fighting the Touma army for the first time and encountering an unsettling enemy he had never seen before. The fight that now began marked the start of him coming to learn truths even he had been entirely unaware of.
Tumblr media
“Here, hold on!“
Revelation Chapter 20 – The Seed of Doubt Having come to acknowledge each other, this is the scene where Leon and Takumi first open up to the other. With Leon coming to Takumi's aid as he was about to lose his life, as well as Takumi kindly thanking him, the tension between the two had been resolved.
Cough
Page 15
Tumblr media
“No way.. ! A puppet, you say!? So that's why father became like that... Damn, that Hydra, just what was he thinking!?“
Tumblr media
Revelation Chapter 19 . The Ruined Town Now that he knew the father he respected had been nothing but Hydra's puppet all along, Leon's bitterness and sadness seemed to overflow in his exclamation. After already having come to be suspicious about his changed father's strange conduct, Leon finally arrived at the truth of the matter.
Tumblr media
“Good grief... you are always making us worried big sister (big brother). It can't be helped... Then I [shall trust you] as well.“
Revelation Chapter 21 – The Way Forward Although Leon was the first to give a warning about not trusting Rontao's plans, the overly kind and pure Kamui ended up falling into the trap due to being too trusting. But even if Kamui keeps placing their faith in others, he will stay at their side, sharing his wisdom and fighting alongside them in order to help them proceed on their path.
-------------------------------
And that’s it for today. Nothing big to explain I hope. If you have any more questions, feel free to shoot me an ask. 
The reason I didn’t translate the Illustration notes this time, is that you can find them on the Fire Emblem wiki quite easily if you want to know more about them. 
Again, without any objections I will next focus on the Relationship section of the fanbook, which I am sure you are all very excited about. Hope to see you again with another update soon. Until next time, take care!
