A/N: How is everyone doing? I decided to take a quick break and churn this test chapter out for you all. Recently I've been reading OkeyDokey's The Lost Children: Ananias, and I thought: "What if I did something similar with Wes?". Look it isn't as draining I can be more consistent, and if it's a success I can make more! Now, with this in mind, I had to change a few things. First, Wes in this case is single and ready to mingle. I did it for the S Supports man! Second, this Wes is fresh after Blazing Story ends, and since he's single TLAD never happened, but his Main Story is still in consideration. Now! How about we we get this Story started with his Paralogue eh? Enjoy!
"Robin where are we headed?"
Chrom asked his tactician and best friend. The pair as well as the Shepherds were marching through the grasslands east of Regna Ferox.
"Well Chrom. I have heard from sources that War Hero from the Grand Conflict in Elibe has recently made himself at home at a village near here. Seeing as he is battle hardened, maybe some words of wisdom towards us all maybe a big help to us all."
Robin responded with confidence. When the Shepherds arrived bandits were conspiring around the different buildings. Perhaps Robin was incorrect? Nobody's perfect and maybe the war against Plegia was finally beginning to take its toll? There was no time to ponder because the bandits noticed them and were prepping for an assault.
"Who do you think you are, marching on our domain Pretty Boy?"
"We came here looking for somebody. But it's clear that we made a mistake."
"Yea, it's clear alright. Boys! To arms! Today we kill a Noble!"
Various war cries can be heard from all over the village. The Shepherds were going to have their hands full.
"It seems that I made a mistake. My apologies Chrom."
"It's alright Robin. Let's deal with these Brigands and search elsewhere another day."
"Alright. Let's make this quick."
And the Shepherds entered the village with battle on the mind. Soon after a certain Druid made his way to the outskirts.
"Looks like Bandits again. Ugh, I'm getting sick and tired of lowlifes trying to takeover this poor village. I gotta be careful, I don't want to burn the village down. If these savages damage the buildings they'll fall too. So much for peace and quiet."
The Druid said to himself. While he was in thought a Brigand touched his shoulder.
"Who are you?"
The Druid looked at the Brigand's hand on his shoulder, and without response casted a Flux spell that immediately blew off the Brigand's head off.
"Like Lambs to the Slaughter."
If recruited by Chrom:
Chrom was finishing off one of the Bandits that plagued this village. When he surveyed the immediate area he noticed a man with peculiar looking robes, dark purple hair, glasses, and an X shaped scar on his cheek. If the description matched this had to be the Druid that Robin was talking about. He called for him.
"Hold Stranger!"
The Stranger turned around with an obvious look of annoyance on his face.
"Excuse me Blue Boy? I'm just trying to help these villagers."
It had to be him. The description was spot on!
"Are you Wesley? Druid from Elibe?"
The Stranger's face reverted slightly in response.
"Who is asking?"
"Oh right. My name is Chrom, Prince of Ylisse."
The Druid's face reverted back to normal, and he started to respond.
"Oh so you're the descendant of the Hero King I've been hearing so much about. Then yes, I am Wesley of Latasi. What pray tell, brings you all the way out here?"
Wes asked motioning around the village which serves as a makeshift battlefield.
"My tactician has requested that we look for you. The tale of yours and Sir Eliwood's journey to prevent a second Scouring is legendary. You must have heard of our coming war against Plegia?"
"I have. I have also heard from a friend of The Mad King's insane antics."
"You have? Will you lend your hand to stop the King's madness?"
"I'll tell you what Chrom. Help me with these Jackasses here, and we can talk."
"Okay! I'll let Robin know of your addition!"
"You best hurry. These Brigands aren't going to kill themselves."
Wes said as he got back to massacring the poor Brigands.
If recruited by Robin (Male):
"As I live and breathe. Wes? The Nightmare of Latasi?"
Wes turns around with a surprised look on his face.
"Wow it's been awhile since someone called me that. Who are you if I can ask?"
"My name is Robin Wes Sir. I've heard from one of our own that you moved out here, and I was wondering if you could join our ranks against Plegia?"
"Who gave you this information Robin? And you don't have to add the Sir at the end."
Wes responded with a raised eyebrow.
"Her name is Kole. She says that you two know each other from your war against the Black Fang in Elibe?"
"Know her? Robin, my family adopted her not too long ago. She's my little sister now."
Wes responded with a little chuckle.
"She is? She never told me that."
"Yes, that seems to be the case with her. She doesn't like revealing her past to others unless she knows for fact that you're trustworthy. But as for your offer. Since Kole was the one who told you of my being here, I don't see a problem in lending a hand in this war. Even though the exact reason I left Elibe was to escape conflict. But I can complain on another day."
Wes shrugged nonchalantly.
"Truthfully you plan on joining us?"
"I don't see the point in repeating myself, but yes. Consider me one of yours, after we deal with the bastards of course."
"Most certainly!"
If recruited by Robin (Female):
"Oh my Gods. Excuse me, would you happen to be Wesley of Latasi?"
"Hmm? Yes that would be me. Why do I get the feeling that you're getting ready to fangirl?"
Wes asked not paying complete attention as he was combatting a Brigand during this conversation.
"Sorry, I've heard so much things about you, and your power as a Druid."
"Hasn't everybody sweetheart? My life may as well be made public to the entire planet."
Wes responded as he slew his opponent with a Flux explosion.
"You just called me sweetheart. Oh my Gods."
"Relax lady. Deep breaths. Is there something you want of me?"
Wes asked his annoyance as clear as the night sky.
"Oh right! My name is Robin, I'm with the Shepherds."
"Oh, I've heard from some of the townsfolk about the Shepherds. How you're fighting the good fight against the Mad King and all that good stuff."
"Yes exactly! I was wondering if you could join us against him?"
"If under any other circumstance I would love to lend a hand. But, I just got out of a war. I even said goodbye to most of my friends and family back home, and moved out here so I wouldn't be dragged into another conflict."
Wes said sadly. He still couldn't believe that he would leave Elibe, seeking a peaceful life only to be surrounded by another war.
"Oh. I'm sorry if that means anything coming from a stranger."
"It's alright Robin. I'm just tired you know?"
His tone of sadness still present.
"Is there anything I or the Shepherds can do to change your mind?"
"Ms. Robin, I admire your determination, and stubbornness. I'll tell you what. Help me fend off these Brigands and I'll see what I can do to help in the war effort."
Wes said with a little bit of determination mixed in with his previous sadness.
"Really? Thank you so much!" You won't regret it!"
"I hope not."
If recruited by Kole:
"Big Bro? It's me."
Wes turned and gave Kole a hug.
"Hey Little Sis. If you came to visit you couldn't have come at a worse time. Brigands are everywhere."
"I know. I came with the Shepherds, on my suggestions."
"You did?"
Kole nodded.
"Look, I know you had me take ya here to avoid more conflict. But Gangrel has gone too far. If you say no then I won't mind but, I have to ask anyway. Will you help Chrom deal with him?"
Wes sighed in disappointment.
"Kole…."
"I know you don't want to, especially after just dealing with Nergal on the Dread Isle. If you don't want to-"
"No. I'll do it."
Kole's face lit up and she hugged her brother.
"Really? Ya really mean it?"
"Yes, I mean it. You're right, I don't want to but if I help then the war will be over faster."
"Thanks Big Bro. Now how about we clear out these fuck offs eh?"
"Now you're speaking my language."
Wes said before getting back to fighting.
Wes vs. Jacks (The Boss of this Chapter.) Dialogue:
"Are you the leader of these group of Brigands?"
"That I am. Name's Jacks."
"I didn't ask for your name. I have no need to know the name of a deadman."
"Excuse me!?"
"You have been harassing the villagers for awhile now whenever I leave temporarily. I wasn't born yesterday Jackass."
"You have the nerve to talk to me with that tone!?"
"You have the nerve to ask stupid questions like that? You must not know who I am! And you will past into the next world not knowing who ended your pathetic, miserable life."
After Wes kills Jacks:
"What…. Are …. You?"
"My name is Wes. The Nightmare of Latasi."
"Oh….. shit."
After the battle cutscene:
The villagers constantly thanked Chrom and the Shepherds for dealing with Jacks and his band of Brigands. They offered a number of rewards but Chrom insisted they keep it. Wes caught Chrom as the situation started to calm itself down.
"Well well well Blue Boy, you're not so bad."
"Even in a small area like this, your power is apparent Wesley."
"Well, I may not like to fight but I hate not being prepared even more. Now that Jacks and the others are gone, I'm free to leave here. If you have a spot-"
Robin interrupted Chrom before he could even get a word out.
"Of course we do Wes! Don't we Chrom?"
Robin asked Chrom with a little too much excitement.
"Yes. Welcome to the Shepherds Wesley."
"Well it isn't like Team Misfit but it'll do."

A/N: Well that's Wes' introduction to the world of Awakening! Now who should I set Wes up with first? Let me know with a review or PM, and while you're at it check my profile out and give my other stories a read. Maybe I'll make a poll about it or somethin'. Anyway, I should get back to writing the next chapter of Blazing Story. Later!
