New spooky third life AU just got birthed in my head whilst taking a shower. Ironically Cleo is one of the only ones who isn’t some kind of undead beastie. Details to follow in 2-3 business days

Scarlet Blaze - The Final Chapter

I’m free. I’m done. 

Well, almost. I am writing up a final thoughts review. THEN I’ll be done, and starting Golden Wildfire. 

Thank you for being on this Scarlet Blaze journey with me. I hope you will stay with me as we start Golden Wildfire. 

This is such a clusterfuck.

The Knights of Seiros are moving in on the monastery, as well as the Slithers for some fucking reason. 

The slithers want the “essences”, I assume they mean Crest Stones

Rhea is like “oh, shit, I think I know who these people are.”

We are literally saving Count Varley here. 

With how little we actually interacted with Church forces, it feels weird even making this the last battle, if I’m being honest. 

If you did the secret chapters, Arval is “no longer there”. 

Mercedes finds Sylvain and Ingrid incredible for fighting for what they believe in no matter what. She finds them incredible because she doesn’t believe she could do that herself.

A lot of characters are talking as if the war is almost over. 

Yuri brings up a good point about how it’s strange the Count Varley is the leader of the southern church.

Another npc wonders who will lead the church if he died (making it sound like he might desire the post himself)

Manuela says that they have been fighting for two years or something. But… we haven’t? The war only started like, six months ago.

Hubert wants to kill us because we tried to kill Byleth. But, decides to hold off. Ultimately, we lost his trust.

One NPC comments he is glad that the alliance didn’t try anything strange. Except that, well…. unless something drastic happens.

Also, the Alliance is currently chasing the Kingdom army. Kek

Byleth and Shez’s A support unlocks at this point. Shez apologizes for attacking Byleth. And they take about their head people. They debate about Arval really is. Byleth suggests Arval probably cared about Shez to the end though. Or, Arval just didn’t want to hurt his vessel. Who knows. 

And now, for the final battle. 

This is so contrived. Thales and Rhea just in the same place at the same time? Sigh. And nothing has been answered, really. 

Well, Catherine is dead. 

Cyril…. is dead…. :(

Edelgard called for the monastery to become Rhea and Thales tomb, but then also…. wants to capture Rhea. Make up your mind, girl.  

Thalest and Rhea are defeated, after Rhea transformed into dragon, then Thales and Rhea continue to attack, then… they take each other out, so we don’t even kill the final bosses, they kill each other (or they vanish from history). 

Edelgard and Shez… high five, then end scroll. Alliance and Empire march on the Kingdom to end it, the end. 

Fuck me too, I guess. 

ALTERNATIVE ROUTE: 

 There are some minor camp dialogue changes. Edelgard hopes you will continue to support her, Hubert is annoyed they don’t learned more about your identity (me too, pal), 

I gave Edelgard the merc whistle. She... gave me a pen. Yay?

Hapi can ask why the monastery is so important. If you say it’s sacred ground to it’s believers, she asks why they can’t just somewhere else. That’s like asking for Mecca to be moved. 

Ignatz wants to paint the battle field. Yay?

Marianne cut off contact with her father. 

Raphael is mad that Edelgard doesn’t party more after fighting. 

No one seems sad Claude died, lmao

Final battle

I let Count Varley die. 

No regrets.

He was a terrible leader of a church anyways, way more corrupt than Rhea ever was.

He only cared about money

Shamir shows concern for Cyril in battle. Too bad he dies anyways

Honestly, the last advance on Rhea across the bridge is really cool

They have barely talked about the Immaculate One. The name was only mentioned like... once, when Rhea first escaped and people claimed to have seen the dragon somewhere. 

No one really seems shocked to see her turn into a dragon

DONE

I’M DONE

I’M FREE

IT’S OVER AT LAST

You know, if I wore Edelgard’s knee armor things, those wings would keep stabbing the back of my legs over and over again.

End scroll: Mostly the same, except the Alliance, the Kingdom, and the Empire continue to war against each other with no end in sight. 

THE END

Oh, the letters

I got a letter from Edelgard and Byleth. Nothing really special, just how awesome Shez is.

OK, NOW THE END
