====Eirika's route====
====Eirika's route====
In Eirika's route, he appears in Chapter 14 to say that he has missed seeing Eirika and Ephraim, and the war started because he had been too weak to stop it. When Eirika meets Ephraim in Chapter 15, Ephraim briefly explains that Lyon had made a [[Dark Stone (object)|Dark Stone]], which had controlled [[Vigarde]], ruler of Grado, who had already been dead for a while. Additionally, Ephraim had met Lyon, who told him he had started the war. In Chapter 16, he accompanies [[Riev]] to tell [[Orson]], the temporary ruler of Renais, that Eirika and Ephraim are coming to the Renais castle Next, he appears in Chapter 17 at the Narube River, as he meets them and claims that he has not seen Ephraim in a long time. Suddenly, he seems to be overcome by a dark force – his demeanor changes to a dark, evil personality, and it is revealed that he is being controlled by the [[Fomortiis|Demon King]]. The Demon King says he had destroyed Lyon's soul long ago. After Lyon is defeated, he flees north.

Finally, in Chapter 18, at Mount Neleras, he appears to Eirika and says that if she gives him the Sacred Stone of Renais, he can return to normal. However, he takes it and destroys it, the request having been a ruse by the Demon King to take the stone. He travels to [[Darkling Woods (location)|Darkling Woods]], where a ritual will be held for the Demon King to be resurrected. There, he is confronted by [[Morva]], the caretaker of [[Myrrh]], the Great Dragon; however, Lyon turns Morva into a [[Draco Zombie|draco zombie]]. After Eirika and Ephraim's party defeats Morva and Riev at the temple's entrance, Lyon goes inside. When Eirika arrives, he meets her and explains that because he was so weak, the Demon King took advantage of his jealousy, his vanity and took him over. He is then returned to the Demon King's control and teleports away. When he is defeated, he tells Eirika he is glad that she was able to stop him.

Finally, he tells her had always loved her. After the war ends, Eirika and Ephraim vow to achieve his dream that all may live in peace and joy.

====Ephraim's route====
====Ephraim's route====
In Ephraim's route, Lyon's role is the same in the story, but he himself is quite different. In Chapter 9, Lyon is present while Vigarde is giving orders to the generals of Grado. A soldier tells Ephraim that rumor says Vigarde had been convinced to start the war by Lyon himself. Next, in Chapter 10, General [[Duessel]] joins Ephraim and tells him that the war started from when Lyon and some other mages created a Dark Stone, more powerful than the Sacred Stones. According to Duessel, Lyon has been carrying it with him. At the start of Chapter 11, Lyon orders [[Selena (The Sacred Stones)|Selena]] to find a [[dragonstone]] at Za'albul Marsh; her actions play out in the next few chapters.

Finally, in Chapter 14, he solemnly asks his father if they were foolish, and mentions his father's death. However, when a soldier enters the room, his demeanor changes to a menacing, dark personality. He commands the army to attack Ephraim. After the battle ends, when Ephraim defeats Vigarde, the king's body seems to disappear. Lyon appears and meets Ephraim, telling him that he had befriended Eirika and Ephraim only to learn about Renais to attack it, and that he has been planning this for a long time. He says that he had killed [[Fado]], the king of Renais (which is corroborated by the scene at the very beginning of the game in which Lyon approaches King Fado just before Fado's death), and then, mocking Ephraim, teleports away.

In the castle, Ephraim meets [[Knoll]], a prisoner of the dungeon of Grado's capital. According to Knoll, Lyon had been researching the Sacred Stone, known as the [[Fire Emblem (item)|Fire Emblem]], in order to help people. Grado's Sacred Stone had unusual properties; it had been used long ago to seal away the [[Fomortiis|Demon King]] and contained his soul. When [[Vigarde]], his father and the emperor of Grado, died of illness, Lyon fell into despair. He began to work tirelessly to resurrect his father. After a while, Knoll arrived to find Lyon with the Sacred Stone in two parts: the Sacred Stone and a [[Dark Stone (object)|Dark Stone]], created from the condensed power and magic in the original Fire Emblem. Lyon introduced his resurrected father, crushes the Fire Emblem, and says the other Sacred Stones are in his way and must be destroyed. Since Knoll knew too much, he was to be executed on the day after Ephraim arrived at the castle.

Lyon appears in Chapter 15, calmly conversing with [[Caellach]] about the latter's mercenary life and his possible ambitions. After the battle, Ephraim informs Eirika and [[Innes]] about Lyon's involvement. He then advises [[Orson]] in Chapter 16 that Eirika and Ephraim are coming to the castle. He finally directly confronts Eirika and Ephraim in Chapter 17, saying he remembers what he had told Ephraim in Grado Keep. The Demon King quickly takes control of Lyon and drops the face of gentleness and mocks the twins. However, after he is defeated, he flees to the north.

At Mount Neleras in Chapter 18, Lyon tells Ephraim that the Lyon he knew is gone forever. Ephraim loses his collected temperament and charges at Lyon. However, Lyon freezes him in place, forcefully takes the Sacred Stone of Renais, and destroys it. When Ephraim vows to save his friend, Lyon returns to normal, stating that the Demon King taking him over was a lie. Lyon confesses that he saw two choices: first, to give in to the Demon King; second, to overcome him. Lyon overcame the Demon King, but became him in doing so. Intending to use the Demon King's power to save Grado from a terrible catastrophe that he has seen in visions as unavoidable, Lyon started the War of the Stones; he tells Ephraim he will be going to Darkling Woods and asks him to stop him.

In Chapter 20 he is confronted by [[Morva]], a caretaker of the Great Dragon. Lyon believes that he will be creating a better future, but Morva says the Demon King is already controlling him. Lyon denies this, and Morva is turned into a Draco Zombie. He then flees into the Black Temple. In the final chapter, Ephraim finds Lyon, who states that he did like Eirika and Ephraim, but was always jealous of Ephraim. He says they are still friends, but he believes he will save the people of Grado.

After he is defeated, he confesses that he always wanted to be like Ephraim, strong and handsome, and always with Eirika. Ephraim reminds Lyon of his own strengths, but Lyon dies quickly. The Demon King rises, but is defeated.
