AOF: I'm currently using two files on my copy of Awakening, one actually based off me(Katie) and one based on a male version of me(Kat), and somehow these little ideas started sneaking in my head about how the two would interact. Not just with each other, but with the others to the point that the two each form their own personality.

AOF: So, I finally decided to put these ideas into words! Since the two are based off of me, it seems natural that they would be twins. The girl, Katie, uses Build 2, Face 4, Hair 1, Hair Color 5, and Voice 1. Kat, the boy, uses Build 1, Face 1, Hair 1, Hair Color 5, and Voice 1.

AOF: This story won't go through the entire story of Awakening, because that would be very time-consuming and I already have one long-term project that I'm working on, but will go over some of the more emotional parts of the story, such as them falling in love or finding their children.

AOF: I don't own Awakening or any Fire Emblem game, all the rights go to Intelligent Systems and Nintendo.


"Chrom...we have to do something."

"...What do you propose we do?"

"I-I dunno..."

A dull thudding in my head, I listened as the two voices creeped me back into consciousness. I opened my eyes, temporarily blinded by the bright sunlight that flooded my vision.

The blonde, pigtailed girl leaning over me gasped in pleasant shock. A blue-haired man, leaning over my companion, smiled and nodded.

"Ah, I see you're awake now," He addressed me.

"Hey, there!" The girl added in a tender voice.

I looked between them, pushing myself to sit up with my arms. Katie was still curled on her side, and out of habit, I counted her even breaths.

"There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know," The man laughed, extending his arm to me. He walked around Katie, and added, "Give me your hand."

"R-right." I took his hand, and with a surprising amount of strength, I was pulled to my feet. I staggered for a moment, but he steadied me. I wasn't sure how long I had been out.

"Are you alright?" Those piercing eyes made me rather uncomfortable. Along with the girl's. I desperately wished my sister would wake up, to help me in this situation with Chrom-

Wait, Chrom? Where did that name come from?

"Ah, yes...th-thank you, Chrom." Damn it all, I used it again!

A man cleared his voice behind me. I jumped, turning to see a mountain of armor with a head of brown hair sticking out. His arms were folded behind his back, posture perfect.

"Ah, so you've heard of milord?" In contrast to Chrom and the girl, he was most definitely not smiling. He glared at me as if I were a piece of meat.

A chill ran up my spine. "N-no, it's...strange...the name simply came to me." A weak explanation, but still the truth.

"Hmph. And what's your name, stranger?" I turned back to Chrom, without a decent answer to give.

Glancing to the flowers growing at my feet, I sheepishly answered, "I'm sorry, sir..."

"You expect us to believe that you know milord's name, but not your own?" The knight's tense voice did nothing to put me at ease. I already feared him.

"B-but, sir, I promise you that I am not lying!" I knew he would never believe me, but had to plead my case.

Chrom held a hand before his knight could throttle me. "Peace, Frederick," He chided. So it appeared the mountain of a man had a name. Bringing his attention back to me, he asked, "You don't...know your own name?"

Fervidly, I shook my head no. "I'm not very sure of anything...I'm so sorry, but where am I, exactly?"

The girl with them, who had already been bouncing impatiently, suddenly jumped. "I've heard of this!" She declared. "This is called 'amnesia'!"

Frederick scoffed. "Milady, it's called a load of pegasas dung," He corrected her. "Milord, I must express the need for caution with this ma-no, this boy. 'Twould not do to let a-"

The warning was cut short by a sharp inhale by Katie. I looked to her, and her limbs were tense beneath her coat, as if ready to spring.

"Kat?" Her voice came soft, but cut through the air nonetheless. "Brother?" Her slender fingers were curled into fists.

"Katie!" I forgot the three of them for the moment, all of my attention to Katie. I helped her to sit up. "Oh, thank the god...are you okay? Are you hurt?"

She shook her head no, thin pigtails swishing. "N-no...augh, my head..." She looked around at Chrom and all of them as we rose to our feet. "Who are you?" Her bewilderment at our situation seemed to match mine.

Nobody answered in the tense silence that followed. Finally, Chrom let out a troubled sigh.

"I think we need to take these two back to town and properly question them," He announced.

The declaration shocked Frederick. "Milord, they could easily be Plegian spies-!"

"But what if their confusion isn't an act?" Chrom countered. His brow twitched at Frederick's insistance. "What if they really are just children with amnesia? We can't simply leave the two here alone and confused. What kind of Shepherds would we be?"

Shepherds...? I wondered. In full armor?

Frederick frowned harder(if possible), but gave a disapproving nod. Chrom laughed, telling Katie and I, "Right then-we'll take you into town and have this sorted out."

"Wait...did you say 'question us'?" Katie asked. "I don't suppose we have a say in this?"

"Peace, friend." Chrom gave her a small smile. "I promise, we'll listen to all the both of you have to say once we're in town. Come."

We really didn't have much choice. Katie glaced at me uncertainly as we followed these "Shepherds" to the packed dirt road leading to town, but I hardened my gaze and nodded.

There was a sword strapped to my hip, as well as a tomebook to Katie's, and while Chrom had the same, I'd be willing to defend my sister and I should a fight break out.
