Fire Emblem Three Houses: Wanderer

Apex of the World

Catherine cut Shamir down with a single clash of Thunderbrand...

Is what Shamir expected to happen but what instead occurred when she closed her eyes and embraced death, but what she instead felt was a tight, soothing hug and warm lips upon her own.

Catherine laughed happily, "My Goddess I'm not the only one who sees it. I thought I was going mad!"

"It's OK partner," Shamir assured her, "Now we need to leave. Now."

As the Chimerias approached, they saw two women, partners, lovers, Shamir and Catherine, outside of Rhea's base.

"You still welcoming estranged members of your family?" Shamir chuckled.

"Yes of course," Dorthea replied, "So what do we need to know about Rhea?"

"The second you guys move in dozens of church soldiers will surround you. You should send in a team of seven to face Rhea alone as the rest fight off the enemy troops. We will have to kill Rhea quickly," Catherine explained, "We'll go in with you, I'm assuming we will need you, Claude, and Dimitri, but who else?"

"Linhardt and Dorthea," Byleth suggests, "They have powerful mage magic to keep us alive. This is it guys. This is the end..."

The Immaculate One cried out as the seven warriors approached, her wings blew back the warriors as they charged, Catherine first charged in, "I'm sorry Lady Rhea! I'm sorry, but this has gone to far for to long!" Thunderbrand slashed through the dragon's white wings, shredding the flesh with blows as fast as lightning. Rhea, nay, the monster cried out, blasting Catherine with a seemingly holy light that held only false divinity, shattering Catherine's ribs.

"Linhardt!" Byleth ordered.

Linhardt rushed over to Catherine to heal her wounds as he exclaimed, "I've got her! Stop Rhea!"

Shamir nodded and pulled back her bow, letting out a curved shot as she cried out, "Stay away from my partner!"

The arrow clipped Rhea's wing as Shamir slid out of the way of Rhea's counter attach, afterwards Dimitri and Claude struck in synch, Dimitri ripping off the right wing by impaling it with his spear and ripping it away like one would meat off a bone with a form as Claude turned the left wing into a pin cushion.

"Tratiors!" Rhea cried out, "Heretics? Sinners!"

Byleth lifted the Sword of the Creator, "You are the only one that has sinned Rhea! Here! Here is something to believe in!"

Byleth struck with Sublime Heaven, calling upon the strength of his flaming blade as he slashed Rhea's left wing to shreds. Rhea cried out in agony and returning to human form, collapsed.

"OK let me handle it from here," Sothis smiled, "Now I do need to warn you now. When I do this, my new body won't be able to use Devine Pulse anymore so... yeah. It's a power I can't really use when I have my own body as it would rip said body apart."

"OK guys," Byleth explained, "Dorthea I need you to be ready with some healing magic. I'm gonna do something strange. Don't panic."

"Byleth what are you-" Dorthea asked.

As he cried out in agony, Byleyh pulled out his Crest Stone, as his heart began to beat Sothis appeared, floating above everyone in a spectral form, Sothis glared at Rhea.

"Mother?" Rhea asked.

"You have no mother," Sothis glared, "My family is the Chimerias. You? You're nothing, and you..."

Sothis flew into Rhea's face, "Are going to Hell."

Sothis cast some sort of spell as Dorthea closed the wound in Byleth's chest, and when the light cleared, Rhea's body had morphed into that of Sothis, who stood and smiled, "Hey guys..."

"Hey Sothis," Claude awkwardly opened, "Ummm... welcome to the family."

"Sorry I'm just a little lost," Dimitri explained, "So you took Rhea's body with your Goddess magic? Also Rhea is fully dead?"

Sothis nodded, before approaching Byleth who now stood, catching his breath. Sothis hugged him, "Thank you so much little bro! I love you! I can finally live a full life and someday die and go to the Heavens! No more limbo ever again!"

"Do you know what this means?" Shamir asked.

"What?" Linhardt inquired.

Byleth smirked, "It means we won..."

But nay this war was not over as Felix overheard the masked mages who held a syringe.

One mage explained to Nemisis, "This syringe can extract Crests and give them to you, but you already have four sir. Would it truly be wise to-"

"We must do what it takes to slay the Fell Star," Nemisis explained, "Bring me more."

"Alright," the mage replied, "As you wish Nemisis."

"Nemesis?" Felix muttered, "Oh boy we're in trouble..."

Felix ambushed the mages when they were alone, stole the syringe, and ran to save his love and warn the others...
