Yay, votes! To help everyone decide, I will list what this choice actually does.
It decides Kryian's starting class, first of all. A is for Assassin, B is Swordmaster, C is Great Lord, and D is a unique class. However, with D you must first win a boss battle. If you lose, you are sent back here and must choose from the three doors again, but without the fourth option.
Secondly, it decides what Chapter 2x will be. It also determines what character you can recruit in this chapter. And lastly, the available Sidequests and some dialogue will change.
Oh, and Kryian is actually your Jeagan, but with much better growths. He's like Seth, and every bit as OP. I forgot what FE archetype is the Jeagan with better growths though... Anyway, we have two Ds and 1 C so far. I'll leave the poll open for a few hours, unless I get a sudden influx of votes.

A jeigan that is good throughout the entire game. Seth and Titania could be considered one. Although, there's a lot of dispute if this can actually be a sub jeigan category. |

Aaaaaand... Now we're sitting at 3 Ds and 2 Cs. I'm gonna treat you guys to a last call Infobump, and then if nothing changes, I'll lock it in.
Ena Godfreid: An enigmatic woman with an almost unnatural love for books and a quirky personality. A brilliant tactician, she is normally viewed as cold and aloof, even unfeeling, but in truth, she is fiercely loyal and a passionate idealist. She can be a bit ditzy and absentminded at times, but her powers of prediction and perception border on the supernatural. She rarely fights on the front lines, but when she has to, she can wield a sword with the best of them. Her past is largely unknown, and she rarely speaks about her family, so it's uncertain if she even has any or not. While she appears only twenty years of age, she is a known Laguz, and rumored to be a dragon. However, for some reason, she has never been seen transforming, and she has never admitted her heritage.

D. Balls to the walls!
Also, was the girl as OP as Kryian is? This almost feels wrong, it's so ridiculous.
Then again, it's getting late, and my thoughts are probably losing their respectability.

No, Azura isn't nearly as OP as Kryian is in the beginning. But in Act 2, they're about equal. You may not know this Doug, but I'm the King of OP. The OP factor is how my readers know it's a story of mine.  Also, Kryian is OP for a reason. Have you ever played the Tellius Fire Emblem games? If so, then let me put it this way: You're basically playing as the Black Knight. In the beginning of the game. |

Meh, my tastes don't run towards power trips, but since that's what the story is, neat-o. Wait, are we getting powered-down right now? |

You won't get stats like that again until Postgame, if at all. And Kryian will only have access to one Scroll for a long time, though you can find the others later, in Sidequests and such. Oh, and D is now locked. |

Kryian's Laguz class is unlocked through one such event.
New Gameplay Mechanic
The Nine Scrolls of Alaxia: A series of powerful texts, said to have been created by the Dragon King Himself. They are rumored to contain the Nine Secrets of Life. Their powers are immense, and in the wrong hands, their destructive power is legendary. As the chosen owner of the Nine Scrolls, only Kryian can wield them. After an encounter with a certain dragon, the Scrolls have lost the majority of their power and all but one have been scattered to the four winds. However, each Scroll can regain their power under certain circumstances.
For example, the Ninth Scroll regains a little bit of its power for every 10 enemies defeated. You will have to discover the requirements for every other Scroll however.
I will update in a bit.

(Continued)
You study the doors for a few moments, but in the end, your mind is already made up. Heh... You always did have a suicidal streak. But what's life without a few risks? Boring as hell, that's what. Besides... If you ever hope of standing a chance against Darian, you'll need all the power you can get.
"Appreciate the warning," you tell the Timekeeper, smiling slightly, as you stride up to the golden door. "But I made my choice long ago. I decided, no matter what, that I would walk the path of power."
"I know, gentle one. And I already knew what your choice would be. After all, I have seen you open that door a thousand times before, and I will watch you open it a thousand times in the future."
Yeah, well, that's just plain confusing... But it does beg the question... "If you can see my future, Timekeeper, can you tell me something?"
"I cannot. Your future is your own to discover. If I were to tell you that you would break your leg if you made a right turn, then you would instinctively turn left, correct? But what if the nurse that was to treat you was destined to become your wife? Now, both of your destinies have changed. As Timekeeper, I cannot meddle in the affairs of mortals."
Of course she can't... That's what you expected. Still, it was worth a try. Well... Here goes nothing. You slowly turn the golden knob, and the door swings open by itself, revealing a blinding light. You shield your eyes momentarily, and when the light clears, you see a beautiful sight spread out before you.
A gorgeous meadow stretches on for miles and miles beyond the door, brimming with more types of flowers than you could ever name. It is a clear sunny afternoon, and as you step through the portal, the door vanishes behind you. A cool breeze washes over the endless meadow, and for a moment, you close your eyes and bask in the sun and the wind. Spores of blood red pollen drifted in the wind, high above you, and you might have noticed, if your eyes weren't closed. That was your first mistake.
"Kryian... Is that you? I've missed you so much..."
Your eyes snap open at the familiar voice, and you blink in disbelief. No... It couldn't be... "Azura?"
She looks exactly the same as she did six months ago, and if you were thinking clearly, that would have broken the illusion right there. Hell, you should have remembered you were in a completely different dimension and she couldn't possibly be here. You should have freaking remembered this was a test. But the mere sight of her, so suddenly, threw you off your game. And the damn guilt didn't help either... And then, when she walked into your arms, again, you should have known something was up. But... She felt so real... So warm... So soft... And she fit so perfectly in your arms...
"Kryian... Why? Why did you betray me?"
"I-I didn't," you stammer, remembering that fateful night. "I wasn't the one who attacked the monastery... I... I tried to save you... I helped you escape, remember?"
You look down at her, and she looks up, and you pale with fear. Her face is gone, replaced by a blank white mask. Her eyes are soulless black slits, and her mouth is a void of darkness. The thing in your arms grins happily.
"No you didn't. You killed me, remember? But it's okay. I'm not mad. Because now we can be together forever and ever."
You feel something warm and wet on your hands, and you take your hands away from her back, and they come away covered in blood. Your eyes widen, and you step back in horror. A familiar sword materializes in her stomach, sticking out, and she stumbles towards you.
"Where are you going, my love? Don't you want me anymore? Kryian... Kryian... Oh, Kryian..."
Just as she's about to reach you, her image flickers, turning black and white, and she disappears. You stand there for a few seconds, shocked and horrified, and somehow, the endless meadow doesn't appear so peaceful anymore. You notice details you overlooked before... A forest of twisted trees in the distance, with human faces carved into the bark. A lone patch of grass stained with vast amounts of blood. A severed hand sticking out of the grass, only a few feet away from you, with several missing fingers.
Holy Goddess above... You don't scare easily, and you do enjoy a good horror story every now and again, but you sure as hell didn't sign up for... This.
You suddenly hear quiet sobbing from behind you, and turn, and immediately wish you hadn't. Your sister lies on the grass in a pool of her own blood. Her clothes are torn, her body is bruised, and there's a bloody stump where her left arm should be. You stumble backwards, not forwards, barely able to comprehend what you're seeing. You realize then, perhaps for the first time, that you're virtually defenseless. You have no weapon. No mask. No scrolls. Everything that you normally have to shield your mind from the horrors and the atrocities are gone. You sister turns, slowly, and her crying stops. And then, you see her face.
Oh gods... Her eyes... What happened to her eyes?
"B-Brother... Where are you? I... I can't see anything... It's so dark. Is it over yet? Can I come out of the cage now?"
She starts to crawl towards you, using her one arm to pull herself along the ground, and you realize she's missing both her legs. Bile rises in your throat, and you puke. Then, with unnatural, terrifying speed, the thing that used to be your sister charges at you. You stumble backwards again, nearly falling over, and then she's gone.
A furious roar sounds from behind you, and your legs move on their own. You see yourself being hanged from a tree, and you hear your own neck snap. You see Ena, the very same girl you recently captured, being beheaded by a man with no face. And you see a scene from your past, a scene you tried your best to forget. The mirage of a great castle looms over the meadow, and the castle is aflame. People are being slaughtered left and right-
"Enough!" You bark in anger, unable to watch anymore.
The mirage flickers and disappears, and the sky suddenly darkens. The wind rises and howls, and a great wave of darkness washes over the land. The grass withers and the flowers die. And then, a great shadow rises over the meadow.
You stand there and watch, sweating, nearly hyperventilating, with no weapon, as a giant silver fiend rises out of the ground, towering into the sky.

Tsk... So all you have to do is defeat the very personification of your worst fears? That's it? How cliché...
Undaunted, you walk forward, right towards the giant silver demon, without a single weapon to your name. You chuckle to yourself, grinning slightly. Who needs a weapon? It wouldn't be the first time you've had to beat down a giant silver elastic thing with your bare hands. Well... Okay, it would, but that's beside the point.
Still... You're a little ticked off. You still have a mission to complete, and you're on a strict time schedule, and yet here you are slaying some stupid fear demon in a different dimension somewhere in the backwoods armpit of the universe. Nobody has time for that crap. Sure, you walked through the shiny door on your own, but again, that's beside the point.
The towering behemoth leans down slightly to peer at you through beady eyes, and it's massive frame blots out the sky. Suddenly, a brilliant flash of white light illuminates the sky, and a ethereal sword materializes in your hand. You lift your hand to look at it, admittedly a little surprised. And impressed. It was a beautiful and slender longsword, almost like a Rapier, with an ornate jeweled hilt and a beautiful silver handguard, emblazoned with the emblem of a crescent moon.
And it wasn't the only sudden change, either... The power flowing through you now... This... This is incredible... This unlimited potential... I feel like I could walk on the Sun...
The sound and force of an oncoming meteor jolts you from your thoughts. Your battle instincts kick into overdrive, and you rocket into the air with inhuman speed. You seem to hover in midair for a moment, as time slows down, and you watch the demon's fist impact the ground far below, where you were standing just seconds before. In that surreal moment, you take everything in at once, and you're oddly calm. You search the demon for plausible weaknesses, find the best source of cover, and determine the best way to strike.
Then, like an angel of judgement descending to earth, you raise your sword high and plummet downwards. The wind rushes past your ears, blowing your long black hair behind you. The sound is deafening, and yet... At the same time, it's so quiet... This... This is what true freedom is, isn't it? Is this how Falcons see the world?
You crash onto the demon's giant arm, your blade piercing it's skin like butter. The sheer speed of your descent nearly hurls you off onto the ground, but you cleave your sword down through its arm, using your sword to break your fall. The demon roars, an earthshaking, earsplitting roar, and time seems to slow down once more.

C sounds decent. Assumedly has the highest likelihood, and leaves it with two weak weapons.

Strike! Now, my son!
I hear you, father...
Success!
Reaction Sequence Initiated!
---------
You aren't going to lie. Those illusions freaked you out big time. But this...! This is what you're best at! This is what you live for!
You charge up the demon's arm at mach speed, dragging your sword along beside you. Sparks literally fly from your weapon as you cleave a canyon sized gash in your wake. The demon roars in agony, and attempts to swat you away with its other arm. You rocket into the air with incredibly agility and land on the demon's other fist, plunging your blade into its hand. The demon roars again, and opens its gaping maw. It fires a laser of dark energy at you, but you're already gone, and running up its arm.
This power... The wind... This battle... I haven't felt so alive in I don't know how long!
You carve a matching canyon in the demon's second arm, and just as you reach its shoulder, it fires another massive beam of energy at you. You gracefully leap into the air, narrowly dodging its attack, as the beam incinerates a section of its own shoulder.
What?! You've got to be kidding me! This thing is willing to attack itself just to get at me?!
You hover there for a moment, staring into the demon's beady red eyes, and then you fall. "Just die already, ugly! You're starting to annoy me!"
