Author's Note: Let's make this short. Regardless of the poll's turn out, I will be revising the story. I'm only keeping this poll up to get an idea of what the general audience, who plans on reading this, wants. I'm also going to keep author's notes lees then 3 lines, so enjoy.~

His body, frail. His face, emotionless. He just hung there, his wrists chained like as if he was poultry in a butcher's shop. It was horrid to see him like this. I peered to my right and left, not surprised to see the looks on everyone's faces. He wasn't the only one. All of them, hanging, together.

"YOU BASTARD!" screamed Marth, who's normally a calm, collected man.

I can't move. The shock is too much. I..I..how am I a hero, if I can't even deal with this..

Suddenly Marth sprinted forward, swinging his sword at the hooded figure. It went right through him, and the man disappeared right in front of Marth.

"What.." whispered Marth under his breath.

He reappeared and grabbed him by the neck of his cloak.

"You fool."

A gag could be heard in the distance. Marth froze and grabbed his stomach. He spat out blood, and fell to the floor in a crumpled heap.

"NO!"I screamed.

I pulled out my sword and ran for the man.

"IKE STOP IT! YOU'LL JUST END UP LIKE MARTH!" A blonde teenager screeched.

I looked over to my friend and he stopped flinching. I felt tears roll down my eyes. Marth was just laying there, motionless. I couldn't tell if he was breathing. The man was right in front of me, as if he was waiting for me to lunge. But Marth was right there, right in my grasp to help.

"If I don't get him now, THEY'LL ALL DIE!" I yelled towards Link.

I can't let them die. I can't and won't. I looked towards Marth, who was just lying there in his own pool of scarlet blood.

"I'm sorry, my friend."

Flashback to 2 Months Ago~

I took in a deep, slow breath.

"Today, will be a grand day. That's for sure."

I walked through the vast, grassy fields of Ylisse, as I had arrived just the other day, in hopes of meeting a young, fellow, swords(wo)man. I'm quite excited to meet this young lady.. BUT NOT like that.. Uh.. I'm also meeting a mage whom resides in this kingdom as well. We've all been notified of this special arrangement, for I'm.. picking them up? Since I was already in this world, I was told that my job was to bring these two back with me, back to the hub. I arrived at the gates to see a young woman with calm, deep blue hair, and a similar dress type to Marth's. Soon enough she hugged and waved goodbye to some young man with a similar sword to her's. She began to walk up to me.

"Hello," she calmly greeted.

"Greetings young mistress. It's a pleasure to have made your acquaintance."

"The pleasure is mine. I am known as Lucina, and my friend who should be coming out soon is Robin. Sorry about that..he's a man who likes to become knowledgeable in different subjects and topics."

"It's fine. As long as he comes soon. We need to leave shortly if we're ever going to make it to the arrival party."

"Arrival party?"

"You'll see," I said with a smirk.

Soon enough, this tactician I've been hearing about arrived outside of the gates. He had a large amount of books in both arms, and had a short sword hidden beneath his black cloak.

"Alright.." he said while adjusting the position of the books he was holding,"we can head out..now."

"Then, let's go!" I cheered and marched forward. The two of them just stared at me and I stopped. I walked forward with my head down in embarrassment.

Author's Note: Well I hope you enjoyed that. It sort of follows what I made in the first 2 chapters of the original. It was clearly visible with how much more detail I added. I didn't add a lot of dialog so I wouldn't drone on and on with chit chat. I wanted the environment to come alive and seem a bit more vibrant. Oops. 4 lines long. Well I'll end it now. Expect the next chapter soon! *Also Thank you to WR3000 and Greywolfian for taking the time to respond to my story and giving me advice! It helps. :)
