Here we go! My first Fire Emblem fanfiction! Super excited to share this with you all! I'm also thinking of turning this into a comic, so if I ever get a DA account, I'll definitely post the comic there!

Important notes:

This is my story about my (I'll admit it) second playthrough of Fire Emblem: Awakening. I was going to use my first playthrough (And I still might) but I wanted to use this storyline first.

I'm going to be changing things up a bit, and not following complete game logic! I doubt I'm going to kill any off the main characters. But I am going to switch some of the children up! My main OC for this one, Lenna, is going to have Owain as her son, not Lissa. But fear not! Lissa is getting another OC, Ney'ri, as her daughter, and Ney'ri is rather like Owain, as she speaks like him and names things like him (though her names are a bit better.) Everybody else should stay the same (I'm still deciding, actually.)

Lenna IS a hybrid, which you find out a bit more about the specie if you read the summary for my soon to be Path of Radiance fanfiction. However, she doesn't know she can transform till she meets Panne, and then she uses it rarely, so as not to overpower her. Lenna uses swords and bows, (like her ancestor, Nera). She's like Robin in skill sets, I think, with her speed being her asset and luck being her weakness. Lenna also prefers her wolf form.

My third OC, Lenna's daughter, (still deciding the name of) will also be a hybrid, wielding swords and lances. She's going to prefer her hawk form.

I have NOT played any of the DLC chapters! Until I play them, they probably won't be added.

Okay, I think that's it for important notes. If there are any more, I'll put them in the next chapter.

Prologue

"Korru! Lenna! Wake up!"

Lenna rolled over, giving an annoyed huff. She gazed at the dark brown haired man before her, one ear cocked and the other turned inside out. "C'mon, Ben. We don't have to leave yet, right?"

Korru let out a grumbling sigh and sat up. "We don't have enough money, do we?" He grunted.

"'Fraid not, buddy." Ben sighed. He walked over to Lenna and fixed her ear. "But it's okay. We need to keep moving anyways."

"And here I was, enjoying a nice soft bed!" Lenna complained good-naturedly. She got up, shook herself and grabbed the hairbrush resting on a table by her bed. She began to brush her fur, smoothing it down.

"I don't see why you bother, Lenna." Korru raised his eyebrows. "That cloak you wear will just ruffle it again."

Lenna turned her mismatched gaze to him. One eye was green and the other orange. "You don't have fur. You don't know what it's like to have messy fur!"

Korru chuckled, his ginger hair glowing in the sunlight and his green eyes cheerful. "Hey, I'm your brother, even if you are adopted. I have a right to tease you!"

A mischievous looks crossed Lenna's face. "And I'm your adopted sister. I have a right to tease you."

Ben watched the two of them with an amused expression. Korru donned his Plegian cloak. Lenna finished fixing her fur, smoothed down her shirt and settled her cloak around her shoulders. It was black with interlacing blue designs on the sleeves. And around the rim of the hood. She pulled in both her red tails in side, angling them in a way no one would notice them, and then flipped the hood up over her head to cover her ears. Ben asked if they were ready and headed out to the stables when they nodded. Inside the stables were two horses, Ben's war horse and the horse Korru rescued from some bandits. The war horse, named Ephriam, was a powerful liver chestnut stallion. He was actually a rather happy horse when he wasn't in a fight. Korru's rescue horse was a powerful dappled grey mare. The former Plegian noble named her Erika. Erika was a lot more serious than Sir Oscar, but even she had her happy moments.

"Are we riding out of town?" Lenna asked, yawning. Her ears flicked uncomfortably under the hood and she flattened them.

"I think that would be wise." Ben nodded. The cavalier finished putting the saddle on Erika and turned. "We'll lead the horses out of the stable and then ride on through."

Lenna nodded, Korru doing the same. The latter grabbed his horse's reins and followed Ben. Lenna walked alongside him. "Who am I riding with?" She asked.

"You can ride with Ben today." Korru replied. "You rode with me last night."

Lenna nodded, satisfied, and patiently waited for Ben to mount his horse. Once he was settled in the saddle, he extended his hand to her and pulled her up behind him. She wrapped her arms around his waist as he urged Ephriam into a brisk trot. Korru urged Erika into a brisk trot as well, riding alongside them.

They rode out of the town without incident, urging their horses into a gallop. After about four hours of riding, Ben halted and dismounted. "We're nearly to the Ylissean border." He explained. "I figured we could rest a while." He helped Lenna off the horse.

Korru started to get off his horse, but suddenly, Lenna stiffened. "Brigands. I smell brigands!" She growled.

Sometimes, being a wolf was a wonderful thing.

Ben wasted no time. He vaulted onto Ephriam's back and wheeled the great liver chestnut around. Korru chose between his sword and his lightning tome, finally settling on the latter. Lenna drew her sword.

It wasn't until the bandits attacked that they all realized just how outnumbered they were. Erika stayed close to Korru, but that proved fatal for the pretty dappled grey mare. A brigand cut her down, trying to get to Korru.

"ERIKA!" Korru wailed as the mare crumpled. "Damn you!" He shouted to the brigand, killing his swiftly and then turning on the others.

But he suddenly lurched forward, crying out in pain. "Korru!" Lenna cried, thinking he was hit.

He was fine… but he was staggering and holding his head. His tome was on the ground by his feet. He suddenly collapsed, unconscious, and Lenna let out a howl of terror. They were losing. There were just too many bandits! Even Ben, for all his battle prowess, was slowly losing strength.

Lenna cried out as something hard hit her savagely across her head. She stumbled, trying to fight the darkness, but whatever had hit her was too much.

The last thing she remembered was Ben calling out her name.

I just didn't want to start this off with a nice beginning, did I? :P This explains how Len (my nickname for Lenna) lost her memory.

QotD: Erm... Going off the game, who is your favorite characters? This goes both ways, who is your favorite character wise and tank wise.

AotD: I love them all XD Even Severa, though I personally think she's a spoiled brat. My all time favorite characters though are Lon'qu and Owain. I love those two so much. Not to mention they destroy anything they attack or that attacks them. Two of your best tanks right there.
