My first Fanfiction. Here, I am writing a retelling of Fire Emblem Fates. I know it might seem like just a copy-paste of the original story, but trust me, its not, as you will see some departure soon. Now, on with the story.
Chapter One: The Grey Waves
"Strike again young one! We will see if you have what it takes!"
On the top of a castle within deep darkness, a duel was taking place. One of the duelists was a knight dressed in black armor, wielding a large mystic looking sword. The other was a much younger fighter, dressed in gerey armor, and wielding a rather plain looking sword.
The younger dueler jumped towards the knight, spinning with his sword stretched outward. The black clad warrior parried the strike, and forced his opponent backward off his bare feet. He, however, quickly did a floor sweep along the ground. The knight fell on his back, and as he looked up, his foe flipped over him, bringing down his sword toward his neck. Then, the blade stopped just an inch for his death.
"Well done, Corrin," said the fallen warrior with a chuckle. "For a second I thought you were actually going to kill me."
Corrin stepped back to give his opponent space to get up. "I still don't feel like I am getting any better," he said. "I still think I can do better. But still, I think one day I will be able to surprass you, Xander."
Xander smiled. "Mabye you will someday, but you may not. Don't worry about reaching my limit, just think about reaching your own for now."
"Yes, brother," Corrin nodded.
"Oh, my boys! Are you two alright."
The two men turned to see there other siblings walking towards them. The one who spoke was Camilla, the oldest sister. With her was Corrin's younger brother and sister, Leo and Elise. Camilla was a beautiful woman, and Corrin's older sister, and quote doting on him and his younger siblings. Leo was a young mage knight, and a young genius. Elise was the youngest of the family, and the most cheerful of group.
"Don't worry, sister" said Corrin. "We're fine."
"I saw the whole thing!" said Elise ecstaticly. "You were awesome out there big bro!"
"For a mock battle, possibly." said Leo, a bit coldly. "If it was a real battle it would be over in ten seconds."
"Oh Leo!" Elise said, scowling. "Why do you have to be such a meanie?"
"No, he has a point," Corrin said. "I still need some more practice.
"Father doesn't seem to think so." said Camilla, smiling.
"What do you mean, Camilla?" asked Corrin.
"That's what we came to tell you." she answered. "Our Father, the king, said that he believes you are ready to finally ready to leave the castle. Of course, he will have to test you first, but if you pass, you will be able to fight alongside us."
"Really?" Corrin exclaimed, almost tok excited to contain himself. "That's great news!". Corrin had been kept inside the castle for almost all his life. He was never allowed to leave the castle up until now. For some reaseon though, Leo and Elise were able to do so dispite being younger than him, and he was't sure why, thought he never bothered asking. Besides, now he was able to go free and fight with his siblings. Mabye he could even fight to bring peace to the kingdom of Nohr, his home. Of course, he will need to pass this trial first...
Well that's all for chapter one. Chapter two will be next, and will have some more details on Nohr. Yeah, I realize this chapter was a bit short. I am working on the next chapter and I promise it will be much longer and detailed. I might make a few pairings in the form of spin-off one shot, but I will mostly be focusing on Corrin, Azura, and the sibs in the main story.
