Lutz had many dreams. Most of which he knew could be granted to him by sheer luck regardless of what he did or said, a force he had grown to acknowledge for better or worse as part of his life and of who he is, but there were a few that luck alone couldn’t manifest. Some that depended on others’ wills as well as his own choices and words, and for that reason were much more challenging to fulfill. Challenging…and exciting.
Because Lutz didn’t want to depend on his luck and grow complacent, he wanted to defy it. He wanted to be the one to carve his own path without any individual or force giving him the tools or conditions, he wanted to find his own voice and will to talk and interact with others without the safety net offered by phantom conveniences. So one might think- a boy with dreams this complex must be aiming for the impossible. For something that not even Lady Luck could aid him with, for a challenge that grand- he had to be with his sights set on something far from the typical realm of ideas.
He just wanted to experience what a sleepover was like.
Because luck didn’t grace him with childhood friends- not human ones, at least. Luck didn’t give him the bonds or the skills to form said bonds by himself, as the boy constantly found himself defaulting to his draconic friend at the end of the day even after seemingly successful attempts to mingle with other humans his age. Luck didn’t grace him with a childhood, and now as he freshly stood at fifteen years of age, he feels like he had missed out on far too much. He had friends now, that was one step forward indeed- but now for the rest…what to do? No one has ever taught him how to proceed, which was how Lutz often found himself unceremoniously dragging others to perform tasks with him.
No one ever taught him the cadence of a human bond, the rhythm it flowed. He knew how it could start, and how it could end- and for the middle, he’d figure out as he went.
So when he heard of some sleepovers going on, Lutz grew frantic and excited. He wanted to be part of one so, so bad. He wanted to experience those pieces of childhood he never got the chance to even think about. But then…well, how to get invited to one? No one invited him to anything, so.
He’d find one, and ask. Simple as that. Even if that wasn’t the correct way to go about it, it was the trail he was offered. And so he patrolled around the halls, eyes open and ears alert for any signs of what could be a sleepover in the making - even though he actually wasn’t too sure what a sleepover sounded or looked like - until he heard odd noises coming from one room. The door was slightly ajar, someone was definitely inside and something must be going on, but Ace didn’t seem to agree with it. Lutz couldn’t feel it, but his drake did seem averse to the energy coming out of that room for whatever reason.
Ah yes, he wanted Ace to be in the sleepover too, naturally. So, Ace joined him on his sleepover hunt.
If his wyvern saw trouble within that room…then it meant it could be danger hiding behind that door-! Putting on a brave face and bracing himself, Lutz suddenly entered the dark room, trying to find what wicked thing could be in it. “Show yourself, ominous being- oh…oh!” Except it…was no ominous being, it was another student. A mage girl, from the Black Eagles if he could remember correctly. He never managed to interact much with her, seeing how not only they were of different houses but their fighting mediums didn’t seem to overlap much, but…a friend is a friend!
Even if he just met her. Actually didn't even meet her, just spotted her. But hey, that could change!
“Sorry ‘bout that! I was walkin’ with my friend trying to find a sleepover! I’m not interrupting anythin’, am I?” He looked around the room and…saw some candles…some books…huh. He let out a slightly nervous laugh. “Well…guess I am. Oops.” He frowned slightly, a tad confused…and skeptical. “Uhm, what are you doin’ here? You look like you’re tryin’ to cast something? Isn’t that dangerous stuff?” Reason magic always felt a bit unsettling to him, but practicing it in a small room like this was definitely dangerous! That girl could get hurt, and he didn’t want that!
“You’re gonna get hurt if you cast stuff in here…I’m no magic but me and Ace will help you!”
Ignoring the fact he just invited himself in with little to no explanation and that Ace still seemed not very excited about the idea of being near that room or near that girl…yeah.
But at this point, for the promise of anything that could resemble a sleepover? Even if it meant having to aid a strange student out of the blue? Lutz would go for it.
It’s all he had.
Book Em, Boys
(Closed starter for @geluksvxgel )
>The librarians are at their wit's end. There are far too many overdue books signed out right now, and so they have decided: until each and every one is accounted for, no more library access! Got a class you need to do some research for? Tough luck. Want a quiet place to hide from the hustle and bustle of lunch break? That's too bad. Get out there and shake down your fellow classmates and faculty for their tardy books!
Somehow, in all his time at Garreg Mach, Artur never anticipated a full on library closure. It seemed like the world could end and the hallowed halls of the monastery’s knowledge would remain open. But yet… what was a library without its books, really? If one of Artur’s, and likely many others, places of solace was closed due to all these overdue books, he was going to do his damndest to get the situation figured out. Too many people depended on this place, and he knew that the staff in turn needed some closure, too!
“Thank you for the listing, Madam. I promise you i’ll do my best to get as many of these back as I can.”
Artur gave the head librarian a warm smile as he received his itemized list of sorts; it contained a record of students who currently had books checked out, and thankfully, Artur got around, so he knew quite a few of these names. Surely it couldn’t be too bad, right? People forgot things all the time. Heck, he was prone to it, too. But, where would he begin……
His train of thought was cut off as he accidentally knocked into someone, perhaps an eager student trying to go to the library as well? He felt bad, getting that distracted, so he reached down to help them up.
“Oh, gods, i’m so sorry! Are you-“
…Artur could muster an apology to the boy, but not to the massive wyvern accompanying him and likely glaring Artur down.
“….Okay?”
As much as Lutz very much preferred to train and learn through practice rather than theory, the boy was very much a diligent student. He knew that in order to reach the heights he envisioned for himself, he needed to be willing to face anything- including the much more boring classes with paperwork assignments and such. But even those could eventually catch his attention, if the topic happened to be right around his alley.
Which was the case now. For one of his latest Authority classes, they had just started to discuss gambit strategies for fliers, with some formations being entirely new to Lutz’ ears. The instructor then proposed a piece of homework for the class that involved a research paper on the matter, including how to properly offer a rally to a flying squadron, and Lutz was absolutely hyped for it. Anything that had to do with flying, he needed to know more and more! And so the boy excitedly rushed to the library to begin piling on the suggested books and start his paper right away…
…until he was told that the books weren’t available. Blimey!
The library did have them of course, but whoever had borrowed them failed to return them- alongside many, many other books, causing a little bit of a crisis for the librarians. It was absolutely foul! The peak of villainy- to inflict such stress on the staff and deprive others of precious study material? Unforgivable! Lutz would find each and every one of those books, not only for the sake of his paper but for everyone e-
“Oof! Oh wow, so sorry!” Taking a step back to properly look at whoever he had walked into, the boy’s expression changed into an easy grin. “Hey! You’re from the Golden Deer, right? I’m Lutz! Sorry for runnin’ into you, I was distracted…” He extended a hand for a nice shake, before eyeing the piece of paper the other boy was holding with interest. He had seen some librarians with a similar paper, rushing around the halls.
“Are you helpin’ out the library staff with finding the books? Can I join you? I need some books for my assignment but they’re nowhere to be found! I was gonna try to find them myself but I don’t really have a lis-”
A gentle breeze brought a piece of paper along with it, catching on Lutz’s arm. As soon as he inspected the sheet his eyes widened slightly, shimmering before he smiled. “Well, now I got a list! Let’s get goin’! Where’s the first one supposed to be at?”
And during all this time, he failed to acknowledge the fact that Ace had been there. Not that he forgot about his friend, no! But Lutz was simply so used to the wyvern being on his tail that he simply expected him to be there, always. It was only when he turned around, ready to start the mad dash for the books, that he was met with the drake’s white belly. “Ah by the way, this is my friend Ace! He’s my bestest friend ever and the best dragon ever! He’s gonna be helpin’ us out! Don’t worry, he doesn’t bite!”
Ace seemed to stare Artur down for a moment, settling with a greeting huff before following Lutz’ rhythm. The wyvern was indeed docile, at least for the moment.
@shadesofpurity
a kiss on the forehead of one who is starting to fall asleep. ( sweetest dreams lutz 🥺)
A big yawn was more than enough to start dragging the boy to sleep. As much as he wanted to keep training, he was also well aware that a good night’s sleep was crucial for him to grow big, strong and healthy- even more so if he wanted to get up early nice and refreshed. The only problem was that it wasn’t nighttime- afternoon, rather. He wasn’t one for napping since it could cause his sleeping schedule to get messy, but he felt just so…so tired after all those classes and training that it was impossible to stay awake. Not with that nice warm breeze and that quiet.
With eyes closed, he felt someone kissing his forehead- and for a second he almost thought it was his mother, during the rare days where she’d be the one tucking him in bed instead of one of his caretakers.
But his mom wasn’t here with him now, so he knew it was someone else.
The girl he had been training with for some time now, Dorothea. Lutz’ magic aptitude wasn’t the best, so he had been trying to learn from her at least how to master some spells. Turns out that practicing magic was just as tiring as swinging an axe…
He hummed, considering opening his eyes but it was just too comfortable to do so.
“Thanks, Doro…g’night.” He smiled softly instead, before drifting into a peaceful nap.
[a playful kiss to make the other stop rambling] (feel free to treat this as an AU fhendjsndn)
It was supposed to just be a silly joke, a way to catch the other boy off guard. While he was recounting another heroic story, Ewan tried to think of a way to surprise him. A poke on the forehead? A tug on his cape?
He didn’t know why on earth this was the idea that stuck by him, but eventually he settled on a kiss on the cheek. That should definitely fluster Lutz and get a fun expression out of him! But right as he leaned in for a kiss, a turning of heads, and now what was supposed to be a playful cheek kiss turned into a full on lip lock.
The boy froze in place, face turning as red as his hair when the realization dawned on him. This was his first kiss!! Crimson eyes locked with blue and up close Ewan could see every little handsome feature of the other boy in detail.
When his brain finally caught up completely, Ewan quickly flung himself away. “Ohmygoshthatwasntwhatwassupposedtohappensorry!” His usual bravado completely melted away, embarrassment instead clear in his expression and body language as he rambled off an apology. His heart was beating like crazy, but the strangest part of this all was..
Well…
…he didn’t hate it.
He chose to ignore the implications of that.
Lutz had kind of gotten lost in his own story, but that wasn’t his fault! It was just that the whole thing was so cool to remember that he couldn’t help but keep talking about it! It had been a battle that he fought as his father’s sidekick, and they were battling this army of paladins and his father readied himself to cleave through one of the closest enemies only for a frog to spring up and land right on his face, and for a moment Lutz thought all was done for but the scare from the frog caused Arthur to move to the side and the paladin missed and then-
He opened his eyes, mildly startled when he felt lips against his own, only to be met with Ewan’s gaze. That- was unexpected! And if it was a way to get him to stop talking then it was pretty successful, as it left the boy a little bit stunned and red-faced.
But after a brief pause…Lutz smiled. Then giggled. “Hey, hey! You’re talkin’ super fast, calm down!” As much as the experience caught him off guard and…well, Lutz had no experience in this department whatsoever, he took it in stride. “No need to apologize or anythin’! I'm not mad!” He made sure to reassure Ewan, his tone and body language easy and good humored. Even if it did make his heart race a little bit, Lutz chose to let it drive him rather than stun him any further.
“Though, that was some way to shut my mouth, huh? Hehe! You could’ve just asked me to, but I’m not complainin’!” Lutz’ smile was warm as he reached over to wrap one arm around Ewan’s shoulder, driving the point home that he was fine with it. “I guess I gotta say thanks for it though? Thanks a bunch!”
a kiss after treating a wound
It wasn’t anything! It didn’t even hurt! So what if he fell down a tree and injured his knee a little? Giving it a wash and then getting a bandage would do the trick fine. But by sheer coincidence this girl had been close by, and she rushed over to help as soon as he hit the ground. It was only then that he figured out this was a student of the Golden Deer, a girl named Marianne. Lutz had always been curious about her, she always seemed so gloomy and sad…and he wanted to find a way to change that, but wasn’t even sure how to approach her for that.
Falling off a tree seemed to do the trick though, even if it was by accident.
“It wasn’t a bad injury or anythin’...but thanks a bunch Marianne! You’re super good with this healing magic stuff!” Soon it was as if he had never gotten injured in the first place, the pain faded and his skin was perfectly intact, the only evidence as to what happened being some dirt on his uniform and leaves in his hair. Though even then, she still pressed a little kiss to the knee that had been previously scruffed by the fall, earning flushed cheeks and a bit of a sheepish giggle from the boy. “Gee, you’re too nice! Sayin’ that in a good way, though. The bestest way!”
“Also, wanna meet my friend Ace? He’s my wyvern! You took care of my knee, so I’m sure he’ll be happy to see you!”
"Eheh, sorry 'bout that! I didn't realize anyone was out there when I pulled out the bow for the day."
...well, and it didn't help that she was still a kind of poor shot. Emma'd been mortified when she realized she'd hit someone, even if it'd been more of a graze than a direct shot. Carefully, but tightly, she wraps a roll of bandage around the other's upper arm, tugging it to make sure it's secure before...
a kiss after treating a wound!
Honestly he had barely noticed the nick of the arrow- it was only when the girl ran over to him that he noticed a part of his sleeve was slightly warm and damp with blood, and there was a stinging pain that wasn’t too intense. If it were on him he’d shrug it off and wrap some bandage around it later or something, but the girl wanted to treat the wound so he let her.
“Hey, don’t worry 'bout it! It wasn’t anythin’ serious, just a nick! I don’t even think it’s gonna scar!” Well, if it did then he’d at least have a cool scar. “I should’ve paid more attention too. We’re even!” His tone was easy and cheerful as always, unbothered by the injury as he smiled.
And then she gave him a little smooch. It wasn’t anything much, if anything it read similarly to back when he was a younger boy, getting a scuffed knee bandaged up by one of his caretakers before they placed a little kiss on it to make it heal faster.
It still made his cheeks flush a bright pink, though. But Lutz wasn’t one to get flustered so easily- if anything it only cheered him up more as he took it in stride. “Golly, thanks a bunch! The bandage's pretty sturdy!"
"Hey…you’re a pegasus rider right? Wanna air patrol together one day? No bows and arrows, though!”
a platonic kiss just meant to express overwhelming emotion
There's tears lining her eyes. Her staff has been dropped somewhere behind her in her sprint across the battlefield. She doesn't care, she'll find it later or Corrin will buy her a new one it doesn't matter when her head is pounding in her ears and she's only barely managing to fight through the dizziness of her vision.
(He had fallen from so high up. Even if he trusted Ace with all his heart, what had he been thinking?)
"Don't you ever dare do something like that again, do you hear me?" She's sure the hands that are holding onto his shoulders are shaking. She squeezes harder and hopes that they stop, or that he doesn't notice when she leans in to kiss his forehead. "I don't care if you're the luckiest boy alive, Lutz, don't scare me like that!"
It had been just an arrow and it had barely grazed him- but in his attempt to avoid getting struck and Ace trying to not get hit with another incoming volley, the result was Lutz getting knocked off the saddle into a freefall. Lutz had fallen from Ace many times before- and he had fallen from other things too. Trees and cliffs, all sorts of things, and each time he had bravely managed to walk away almost entirely unharmed save for a scuffed up knee or a small cut.
He had been told time and time again, that any normal person would have either died or gotten seriously injured from the falls he had gotten before- that Lutz was truly blessed with luck to be even alive after it all. And perhaps that also applied to his current situation, as he opened his eyes with a groan.
The fall itself had been quick, at least to him. A blink, a heavy thud, and he was on the ground.
Sore all over, definitely with some cuts here and there, but nothing broken- or at least he couldn’t tell if he had broken anything. Alive, definitely alive- he did feel his heart thundering in his chest and his blood rushing in his ears. Lutz trusted his blessing, as much as it often annoyed him- and he trusted his bravery. But in the end when his enemy was gravity itself, the boy couldn’t help but experience at least a moment stunned in fear from what happened.
Then hands grasped his shoulders and shook him- lips touched his forehead and with that he could tell that it was Mitama by his side, jostling him while crying in a panic. “Mit- Mitama-” He regained his voice, trying to recompose himself as fast as possible despite everything. “Mitama, I’m okay! I’m not hurt- I promise!” His words were going nowhere, however. This ended up the same as always- even if Lutz was okay in the end, the very fact that it happened in the first place was enough to hurt his loved ones.
He frowned, tears stinging his eyes not from physical pain but from the ugly mixture of fear and guilt. “I’m sorry…I was trying to get out of an arrow’s way, that’s all! I’m sorry, Mitama! Please don’t cry like that!” With slightly trembling arms, he managed to urge himself up into a kneeling position, wrapping his arms around his friend. “I’m sorry…”
Perhaps he really did have to start thinking about those things- not betting his life on luck alone. Because if things had gone wrong...what then? He'd leave his friend staring at his dead body.

(Lutz & Ewan)
The announcement that he was to get a roommate soon was one that was not met with trepidation or anxiety, not even a little. Quite the opposite in fact, with Ewan looking forward to making a new friend. If they were going to have a shared room they sleep and live in, best to be friendly to the guy, after all! He didn’t know much about the guy, as the school informed him of only the fact he was a boy around the same age as him.
When the bunk bed was placed, the little mage was quick to move his covers and belongings to the top bunk, including the cork board that hung on the wall next to it. Later on a second desk and closet had been placed, identical to his own (minus the singes from uh. Magic accidents). It made the room a bit smaller, but also a lot more cozy! And besides this room still was luxurious compared to the modest home he lived in back in Caer Pelyn, where they truly stripped down to the barest essentials.
He decided to do a little reading to pass the time, but no matter how much he tried he couldn’t get himself to focus. “The Legendary Adventures of Saint Latona” was one of his favorite books to read, but he couldn’t sit still or focus his mind due to his excitement (and three bottles of carbonated fruit juice he had earlier). He allowed his mind to wander, thinking about what kinda guy he’d be roomies with.
Maybe a mage like him? Or a muscular axe fighter! Maybe even a slender and cool myrmidon? Ewan liked all three options, honestly.. maybe someone that likes puzzles, like he does? But then again if he’s dense like Ross is that would also be fun… hmmmm. Well ultimately, he just hoped it was a guy that was also more outgoing and fun loving! Ewan loves his introverted friends to pieces of course, but getting someone that matches your energy is also a lot of fun!
Thankfully he didn’t have to wait much longer, as his thoughts were interrupted by a knocking on the door. “Ooh, he’s here!” He jumped off the bed.. forgetting it was a bunk bed for a second and he lost his balance as he fell for much longer than expected, landing on his butt with a thud. “Ow ow owww…!” He groaned, but quickly got up anyway to open the door. “Hi! Welcome! Are you the new roomie?” He greeted with the biggest smile. First impressions matter, after all!
@geluksvxgel
With Lutz having just arrived at the Academy, it was an understatement to say he was excited.
The boy was a little ball of absolute energy, nearly dizzying from whipping his head around to see everything around him and take in every detail, every sound, every smell. Everything was so new and held so much promise, but the thing that had him shining the most was the idea of meeting new people.
Lutz was very grateful for the friends he had, as in the Deeprealms he had no one but Ace. His caretakers were nice, they gave him everything he needed to be a healthy boy, made sure he had lessons and training, and were always present in case he needed anything. Except…for the one thing they couldn’t provide, which was family and friends. They were caretakers, pain and simple. Lutz wouldn’t hold that against them as they were merely doing their job and he was grateful for their work in raising him, but that was the end of it. He was raised, not nurtured, and that hurt so very much.
So when he finally got to go to Nohr with his parents, one of his first priorities was to finally make friends. People his age he could play and train with, who wouldn’t keep him lonely. Lutz loved Ace to bits, but the wyvern was more of a sibling to him and in the end…Lutz wanted more human friends, too. And with the Academy being filled to the brim with people of all kinds, it was the perfect place for that.
Even better when he was given the notice that he’d be rooming with someone- a boy from his class.
The young hero had admittedly been a bit sad when he was told he wouldn’t be able to sleep with Ace in his room, and that the wyvern would have to live within the stables alongside his kin. Lutz did understand that and he was hopeful that Ace would be able to make wyvern friends just like how Lutz hoped to make human friends, but the two had been together for so long now and spending nearly all moments of their lives together that…being finally separated from his scaly friend for a longer period of time felt almost scary. He could visit Ace, sure, but…it wasn’t the same.
At least with that roommate, Lutz wouldn’t be totally alone- and for that he was the most grateful.
The sounds of someone falling followed by pained groans had the young hero’s eyes widen in surprise. Did he scare him by accident? But before Lutz could ask anything through the closed door, his new roommate revealed himself with a greeting. A boy just like him, a little shorter, with blazing red hair. A little scrawny on the arms, leaving Lutz to wonder if he was one of those magic people. No biggie! Lutz had plenty of magic friends! “Golly! Did I hear you fall a second ago? You’re not hurt, are you? I can get you patched up if you are!”
He then laughed, hands on his hips with a proper heroic posture. The first greeting was always the most important. “I s’ppose I am, at least this one’s the room number I got in my paper! My name’s Lutz!” The young hero held out his hand, smiling big while trying to take in every detail of his new roommate. “What’s your name? Are you from the Blue Lions too? The class with the blue banner?” He had been told that the matchups were kind of random so there was a chance he could end up with someone from another class- which wasn’t a problem! But getting to go to the same classes as his roomie would be ideal.
"Also, I'm from Nohr! Are you from Fódlan?"

"Apologies, the party was getting to me and I needed a moment to shake the "cranky" off." For a moment, she nearly confesses to the horror; that he father is still here and has not left for greener pastures like she had anticipated. Lutz would understand, she thinks. She decides against it, smiling at him instead. "I am sure the good present company will allow me to better shake the feeling much more assuredly."
She had not been actively including his wyvern in that. The puff of hot air from behind her makes her jump forwards towards Lutz with a squeak. "H-hello again, Ace."
Wyverns. She tries not to shiver as she looks back at the beast and smiles at him.
"You could have trained at home to further your strength." It would have been safer. There's a slowly growing horror in her gut at the future before her with Lutz in range of the church's requests. She swallows it from now. "Your father is a force in his own right."
Ugh, he could only ever stay distracted from that subject for so long. "I have been plenty active in my time abroad, thank you. I was dancing earlier. With Shiro, of all people." That alone was a feat of endurance. "I imagine that I might even be able to keep up with you, provided the motivation was sufficient."
“If you say so! I’m gonna make sure there’s no more of that cranky on your shoulders by the end of this!” By Lutz' standards, the party was going absolutely fine. It was big and loud with a lot of fun and new things to do as well as people to meet- and many of his old friends were there as well so there was absolutely nothing to complain about! But Lutz knew Mitama well by now and he has already gotten to understand her Mitama-isms. Habits, habits. He’d respect hers, after all that was what a hero would do. To make sure his point got across, he simply offered his typical Lutz-branded smile. Toothy, bright and cheeky.
Followed by a giggle as Ace showed up with a greeting. “Ace missed you lots too, you know!” The wyvern approved with a nod and a waggy tail, as if it were a goofy pet dog and not a drake that stood taller than most humans in this Academy. But to Lutz, Ace was indeed just a big ol’ dog. The bestest and goodest one.
“Yeah I could, but…if I wanna be a real hero, I gotta be willin’ to see all that there is to see! Nohr can help me get to the top, but I wanna go much beyond that!” The mention of his father brought a slight pang of sadness in his heart, the bite of homesickness still eating at him a little bit, but that didn’t show in his eyes. “Exactly! Pops is super powerful and super brave, meanin’ that if I ever want to surpass him I gotta train and do things he never got to do in Nohr! This Academy has everythin' that I need to get there!” Besides, the day he managed to finish his studies and went back home, he was sure his father would be the most proud of his growth. He dreamed of that day, but for now he needed to work hard to make it a reality in the first place.
Lutz widened his eyes for a moment, before putting on an earnest smile. “But that’s great to hear! Shiro’s a fun guy, c’mon! Not sure if he’s a good dancer though…but that’s not for me to judge.” The boy himself wasn’t the most sure if he was a good dancer- having not exactly dedicated his time to learn a single dance so far as the only training that mattered to him was dancing for the battlefield. But hey, he was confident that he could whip something up last minute!
“By the way Mitama, why did you come to Fódlan? Knowing you I wouldn’t say it’s for trainin’…though if you wanna start trainin’ I can totally help you!”

WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE
⤷ non-mission task: affluence ( faith +1 ) / game document.
In the smoke, a vision appears. Grey and black form at first a foggy image but it soon becomes clearer— face down in a large room with three entry points, a boy with brunet locks doesn't appear to move. He appears alone in that room for now, but for how long?
A ripple in the smoke disrupts this, bursting into a bright red hue as if to burn the very scene they had been given access to. The flames come to life on their own, but even as they encircle the trio, their heat does not feel oppressive nor do its embers scorch.
They merely appear to only be trying to grab their attention before they form into an arrow pointing northwards. A few seconds after holding this image, the flames disappear entirely, leaving behind nothing but the smoke and soot they had already begun to become familiar with...
NEXT: @berglietz or @geluksvxgel !
Through the smoke and flames, Lutz became transfixed on the apparition. That must have been the boy they’re in search of, trapped somewhere in this building. The fire glows and dances, circling them before shifting into an arrow that points north before merging into the surrounding inferno. That could’ve been many things, including a possible enemy giving them a false lead in hopes to trap them somewhere, but at the same time it was truly all they had to work with.
“We…gotta follow it! We gotta find him quickly!” He called out to his companions, trying to shield his mouth with his forearm in hopes that he could at least form a filter to improve his breathing but failing as his throat closed up regardless. It felt awful- this helplessness, this inability to just thunder through the flames, held back by nothing more than his own body. “Come on…! Move!” He complained to himself, urging his own legs to start moving at a faster pace. Any minute wasted could mean lesser chances of rescuing that boy, and Lutz wouldn’t have it.
He managed to make it to the room Caspar was in, finally able to pinpoint the other boy’s silhouette. “Caspar! Caspar, take it easy- wha?” The young boy called out before his foot caught on something. Kneeling down and patting the ground blindly, a gloved hand managed to grab onto whatever he had stumbled into. A box covered in ashes and soot, but after giving it a wipe Lutz’ eyes glittered with some hope.
“Wowie! I found a first aid kit!” Maybe it was a strike of luck, though right now the only thing he could consider a lucky gift was some water magic to get rid of the flames. But Lutz wouldn’t complain, resources were resources and right now they’d use anything they could get their hands on. “Alright, less bad! If anyone gets hurt I can get it fixed! Let’s follow that arrow!”
@berglietz @papulaan
[castle] "i'm not sure my side holds up to yours, but i can't say i didn't try." she steps back for a better look, only to find herself frowning in disbelief. "how on earth did you get yours to stand so straight? mine looks like it's about to topple over any second now!"
Lutz always found building sand castles kinda boring, because they always ended up looking fine in the end. There was no thrill, nothing! Just sitting down on sand and patiently patting down and sculpting it until towers started to take shape and by the end of it he’d have a perfectly good looking castle that he could…well, stare at. Building them by himself was always boring.
But with a friend however, it was another story.
“You just gotta get the sand nice and wet and then really pat it down until it’s solid!” He was by no means a coastal resident, having lived most of his life in the vast rocky plains of his Deeprealms and therefore having essentially no contact with any sort of beach, but after his father took him out he was able to visit the shore a couple of times. “Like this!” He grabbed some sand and…in seconds, he had another tower added to his castle.
He frowned. “The sand doesn’t even crumble or anythin’...boring!” Blue eyes then went over to Dorothea’s creation. It was much wonkier than his own, but it brought a smile to his face. “Yours looks really cool, though! You can make it like, a castle that went through an awesome battle or somethin’!” Lutz then got up, and sat closer to the Black Eagle.
“I can help you make a battle scene, so it looks like your castle got to survive it! C’mon!”
[Yeet]
“Ow ow ow owwww!” Running around the beach in a frenzy was Ewan, flailing his right arm around. On his right hand, a crab was pinching his index finger tightly, hanging on for dear life. Just a minute ago he saw something shiny in the water. Reaching out for it was a mistake though, as said shiny thing ended up being the crab.
“Owww, this crab’s claws are sharp! Lutz, help!” Begging the other boy to assist, he was frantically trying to get the creature to stop pinching him. Eventually, after a few more good shakes, the crab finally let go. But as a result of the momentum it flew into Lutz’ direction.
“Ewan, all ok over there?” Lutz turned around as soon as he heard the pained voice of his newfound buddy- his roommate. The other boy’s energy matched his own perfectly and to the young hero that was more than enough to make him decide that he absolutely wanted to be Ewan’s friend, and was working diligently towards it. So what better way than to aid him in a moment of distress?
Except the distress was, in fact, a crab?
A crab that was flying towards him at this very moment?
“Oop- caught it! Golly, you almost landed on my hair lil’ guy!” Lutz looked down at the crustacean sitting on his palm. At first it sat still, then it threatened to pinch one of his fingers…but stopped, deciding to groom itself instead as Lutz smiled. “Wow, it’s kinda cute! Where did you find it, Ewan? Was it bitin’ you or somethin’?

Lutz didn’t have any fears.
Or if he did, he wasn’t telling- not openly, at least. Heroes have no room for fear, they face evil head on and come out victorious and they overcome any and whatever challenge that dares to harm justice or obstruct their path towards a fair and peaceful world. Lutz would never allow himself to cower so openly, because even though he was still a sidekick he took his position very seriously. He was a hero in training as well as a future knight of Nohr, so it was a must for him to hold on to bravery and not allow any enemy to intimidate him.
That, and his father didn’t fear. Even with his disgraced luck constantly looming over him and threatening to ruin any and whatever plans he had, Arthur always prevailed and never shied from the path of optimism. His father was the strongest and bravest person he knew, and Lutz strived to one day be even a fraction of the man Arthur is.
Which was why he found himself following that guru’s instructions. Shock therapy or so the man said, for one to overcome their fears by being forced to face them head on without any sugar coating or shielding. It was brutal and Lutz had to admit that it did feel daunting, but he accepted it. He had to.
Because Lutz didn’t have any fears. Or more specifically: Lutz didn’t know exactly what he feared. And that was a weakness in itself, one he acknowledged and one he had to find a way to fix.
“Alright…I’m ready! Gimme all you got, Mr. Guru!” The boy exclaimed as the older man chuckled, before disappearing into a mist of magic and the room was engulfed in a hazy darkness. Soon, Lutz found himself alone in nothingness, with no limits as to where he could walk towards and with nothing he could make out as an object or being- save for one weird lump on the ground. Not a lump though, it seemed more like…
”…oh hey! Is that…a person? What’chu doing here?”
Armored boots made no sound against the ground as he approached the odd silhouette, squatting next to it. “Hey, are you ok there? You're all hunched over!” So perhaps he shared his fear with someone else, which did at least feel reassuring. Whatever his fear was, he could tackle it alongside someone else and they could find their strengths together.
“My name’s Lutz! I suppose we got similar fears! C’mon, I can help you and we can do it together!” Might as well give it a good start, with a big smile as he offered the person- another student it seemed, a hand to hold on to. "You don't need to be afraid of anything because I'm here! Up up, let's go!"

As soon as he caught ear of the proposed activity, Lutz had been absolutely brimming with excitement. To reenact a battle and bring the public a glimpse of what had taken place- and to be also given a chance to experience even a slight glimpse of the atmosphere or emotions that consumed the battlefield. While Lutz prided himself in his skills and trained hard every single day to stand his ground in battle, he would never refuse something like this. Reenactment or not it was learning all the same, and if he wished to become the ideal sidekick and a future hero then he should wolf down any and whatever crumb of knowledge he managed to get his hands on.
And well, this was also his chance to play as The Hero. Be it standing on a stage or battlegrounds, it felt like a dream come true regardless.
The young boy was given a couple of things- a box with the outfit he’d be wearing, props, and papers with the script. He was told that the retelling was based on a written report on a book and that not everything is one hundred percent faithful to the real deal as it came from the view of an auxiliary tactician that served the rear guard, but it was still a valid document that possessed a real witness’ accounts.
Lutz knew this battle. He hadn’t participated in it, but he knew it had taken place and he knew more or less what happened after hearing others around him talk about it, which only made him more excited to give it a try. He’d finally get a glimpse on what happened while he hadn’t been deployed.
Blue eyes quietly scanned the paper’s title.
“白夜王子リョウマ White Night Prince Ryoma”
Then, he looked at himself in the mirror, not exactly sure what to make of it. It was cool! Awesome even, as he found himself dressed in the outfit Corrin would wear to battle, but unfortunately he wasn’t allowed to keep his hero mask as Corrin didn’t wear one which made him feel a bit embarrassed. He had grown too used to wearing that mask that saw his reflection without it- and with pointed tips on his ears, and a mop of hair that wasn’t his own…yeah.
Though part of him did secretly wish he had been given the role his father played in the battle instead…but hey, he was going to embody Corrin, and Corrin was a hero for Nohr. There was nothing to lose here.
“Ooookay! Gosh, I’m so excited!” Lutz exclaimed as he stepped barefoot into the floors of the Hall of Shirasagi- or rather, a theatrical version of it. His excitement had to be quickly curbed however, reminding himself that he had to stay true to the script. “...hehe, oops.” He whispered to himself before puffing out his chest and marching on to face his opponent, Prince Ryoma.
Or…well, Yuzu?
“Yuzu?” A hushed voice once more as he couldn’t hold back his surprise and happiness. How lucky he was to be given such a fun assignment alongside one of his classmates, one that seemed so cool to begin with. “I mean- I killed her. I killed…Hinoka!” Those were some of the last words before the battle began, or so the book said. Blue eyes glanced up and down, then around, before he whispered behind a smile. “Hi Yuzu! You look so cool with that armor!”
