Summary
The team's arrived at Valm Harbor, and there's a team of Valmese soldiers hunting some woman we don't know down. Preparations happen, and we learn who the person is.

Apparently her name is Say'ri, and we can recruit her.



One battle later, we learn that Say'ri is apparently the leader of many resistance forces that are trying to gain liberty from Valm. Unfortunately, she can't quite seem to unite them- all of the rebellions have dissent between how they want freedom. Also, lots of them distrust her since her brother Yen'fay is one of Walhart's generals.

However, if she could join the Ylissean League, she could help unite them. There is one other thing, though.

Many of Say'ri's people, the Chon'sin, have worshipped the Divine Dragon Naga's oracle, Tiki. However, Lady Tiki is imprisoned in her shrine in the branches of the ancient Mila Tree. And it's time for us to bust her out.

Chapter 16 starts as our team reaches the tree- and the Valmese troops are already there, lead by the most glorious general of all time. Everybody, rise in honor of General Cervantes.



Actual quote from this glorious lunatic:

"...They are impressive, though, aren't they? My whiskers? Ha ha! I've not shaved since my very first battle. And have I ever lost? No! Not even once! Ergo, my moustache makes me invincible. It's science, my boy, science!"

HOLY CRAP, BEST GENERAL EVER.

The battle starts and I discover that Lon'qu and Say'ri actually can't get Supports. Man, this is twice in one game my ships have been sunk. First I can't Support Gaius and Anna, now these two? Gah!

The battle ends and the team gets to the top of the tree, where we free Tiki. Judging by her green hair and pointy ears, she might actually be a Manakete, too. Good, so not all of Nowi's kind look like ten-year-olds.



Tiki mistakes Lucina for the original Marth and WAIT WHAT SHE KNEW THE ORIGINAL MARTH

TIKI, GIVE US EXPOSITION ABOUT THIS PLACE AND HOW IT'S CONNECTED TO THE ORIGINAL MARTH

I HAVEN'T PLAYED ANY OTHER GAMES, PLS SPLAIN

Anyways, apparently there are supposed to be more gemstones set in the empty slots in the Fire Emblem- Argent (the one we already have), Sable, Gules, Azure, and Vert. Once they're all put in, we can perform the Awakening to stop Grima by channeling Naga.

The Chon'sin used to have Vert, but Walhart stole it. Tiki has Azure, and Ferox has Gules. We get Azure from Tiki, and we start planning. The Valmese forces are divided into three armies: The northern armies, commanded by Walhart; the southern armies, commanded by Say'ri's brother, Yen'fay; and everybody in the middle.

Robin makes a plan: divide the armies, cut off supplies and communication, and spread rumors. Most of the army will go north as a distraction, and the Shepherds will take down the Fort Steiger garrison.

Support time!

Robin and Sumia keep sharing books- apparently Robin's a bookworm nerd. Oh hey, it's me.

Libra and Cherche start talking about their experiences with giant dangerous animals, and Libra decides to make a bond with an animal of some sort. Like Cherche did with Minerva.

Ricken and Nowi have a support- Nowi accidentally lit a few tents up (she can't get to sleep without her Dragonstone), and Ricken covered for her so she wouldn't get in trouble with Chrom.

Sully and Stahl are still training together, and Sully tries to get Stahl to try harder in battle.

And Stahl and Miriel- wait, Miriel? I haven't used her in battle... OH. It was because of Barracks conversations that boosted their Support level.

Miriel makes Stahl practice even more to study his muscle memory and skills. Stahl was worn out.

My Thoughts
The war against Valm is really heating up, and I am genuinely worried something bad is gonna happen. Now that they've revealed that the gems of the Fire Emblem are in the hands of other countries... oh boy.

And there's the whole premonition with Chrom...

I'm scared.

I don't know what's going to happen, and I'm worried.
