G/N: This is a companion piece to Werewolverine's Fire Emblem story Fire Emblem: Wrath of the fighter. Their both self inserts, but ones from my eyes and the others from his.
Chapter one
"Hell yea!" I yelled out, as Mia dodged the enemy paladin and got a critical hit, killing it. I was playing PoR, and Mia was just massacring the enemies. I continued playing and finished the chapter.
While it was saving, my dog tripped the cord. "Dammit!" I yelled. You might want to know this, but my names James, I got dirty blond hair, slightly overweight. I went to the plug, plugging the Wii back in. Yet as I did that, I was electrocuted. My vision blurred, as my head hit the ground.
I opened my eyes, seeing myself in a dense forest. I lifted my head off the ground, confused. "Where am I?" I questioned myself, as I got of the ground, standing straight up. I looked down confused.
I was wearing a shirt that had gamer written on it, and blue pants. Yet now I was wearing a pure white cloak. My blue eye could be seen through the dirty blond hair which covered the left side of my face.
I noticed a rock inside of the clearing, and sat down on it. I was trying to figure out how I had gotten here. I sat their for what felt like hours. Then I heard the sound of someone walking. I didn't bother opening my eyes, or looking.
I didn't talk much to people I didn't know, and since I was in an area I didn't know, I figured I wouldn't know them. The movement stopped, for a few seconds. Then the sound of running replaced it. I turned, seeing someone with purple hair running at me.
The part that had me worried, was the fact that I saw she had a sword in her hand.
"The hell?" I said, falling to the side, making the sword miss me. "What's your problem?" I questioned, in slight shock. Now that she had stopped moving, I could get a good look at her.
She had long purple hair, going just past her shoulders. She had two shoulder pads on, along with and orange shirt/skirt thing. It went halfway down her thighs. She had pure emerald eyes.
"So your my rival!" She yelled out dashing at me again. I rolled out of the way, just being missed by the sword.
"The hell are you talking about?" It was then that I noticed the person looked slightly familiar, yet I couldn't put my finger on it.
"You don't have a weapon do you?" She questioned me, to which I nodded. She reached at her side, pulling out a second one. She threw it at me, and landed just in front of me. I looked up, giving her a confused look, before bending down and picking it up.
"Ready?" She asked, swinging her sword slightly.
"Why are we doing this?" I questioned.
"Oh! I forgot to say why. I got my fortune told and it said I would meet my rival wearing white," She told me. That was when I knew where I was. I was on Tellius, and the person I was fighting was Mia.
"Ok, then. As long as it's not a battle to the death, I'll fight ya," I told her, holding out the sword. I couldn't tell what it was made out of, though I figured it was iron.
She nodded, then dashed at me. I raised my sword to block. Our swords collided, and I was hit with enough force to push me back a bit. The presser gave almost as fast as it came, as I was hit with another blow.
I knew she was faster then me, the was obvious, with me being unable to move, only block. I had only held a sword once, before and I knew I had no chance against someone who had been training for years.
With one fluid motion, she had me disarmed, and her sword at my throat.
"You, haven't used a sword before have you?" She asked.
"You could tell," I said, a slight smile one my face.
"Yea, you didn't really move much." She said, lowering the blade. "Also, my names, Mia," She said, holding out her hand.
"James," I said shaking it. "Could you train me?" I questioned her, after pulling my hand back.
"Sure," She said, fast. "If you can keep up," She said, running off.
"Hey, wait up!" I yelled, grabbing the sword she had thrown at me before running after her. As I ran after her, I noticed she was slowly starting to pull farther and farther away from me. "Mia? Wait up!" I yelled out, but she didn't stop. In fact it even seemed she was speeding up.
I ended up stopping, in a smaller clearing. The grass in this area had grown, to be about waist high. I had to stop to catch my breath. I groaned, I didn't go running much in the past. Once I had caught my breath I looked up.
I couldn't see Mia anywhere. "Mia, where the hell did you go!?" I yelled my question. I waited for a few minutes, not getting any response. "Damn," I whispered under my breath. I slowly started walking in the direction that I had least seen her run off in.
"Mia!" I yelled out, again. Still getting no response. As I continued walking, the area began to clear. As this happened I could see a wooden wall rising up in the distance. As I continued walking, I could see a purple and orange dot farther up ahead.
I started running, not wanting to get left behind.
"Mia!" I yelled out one last time. I saw the dot stop moving, and turn around. She sat there, for about five minutes while I caught up to her.
"It's about time you caught up with me! I thought I had lost you!" She yelled out excitingly.
"Well when you already know your faster then someone, and then attempt to race them..." I said, a slight grin on my face.
"Well, lets continue moving then," She stated, walking this time. I was walking beside her.
"Where are we going?" I questioned her. I would have preferred to know, never liked not knowing where I was going.
"Well, since your tagging along with me, and I have no destination. Everywhere!" She yelled out, suddenly. I looked up at the sky, noticing it was starting getting darker.
"Mia, don't you think we should find a place to stay?" I questioned her. She sat there, thinking.
"Sure!" She yelled out of nowhere, as we walked into the town. It had wooden walls, and a cobblestone walkway. There were rolls of buildings on both sides of us. I looked at her, giving her a confused look.
"Are you always this hyper?" I questioned.
"Yep," She said, while looking at signs. She picked up her pace, and started to walk in front of me. She stopped suddenly, making me run into her. I guess that surprised her, since we both fell to the ground.
I quickly got up, turning to where she was. Only to see that she was already on her way into the building. I quickly ran in after her. She walked up to the man behind the counter.
"Can I get a room with two beds?" She questioned, while I looked around. I noticed some of the boards were rotting. It was easy to tell this place didn't make enough money to keep the place in good condition.
"One hundred gold," He stated, eying her. Mia, reached into the sack tied to her side, pulling out a hundred gold pieces. He took them, and quickly counted.
"Your room is the first on the left, up the stairs," He said. Mia, nodded. She started up the stairs, before noticing that I wasn't following.
"You coming?" She questioned, to which I nodded. I walked up the stairs, noticing Mia wasn't in the hallway. So I figured she already entered the room. I found out I was right, once I entered the room, seeing her on her bed, hyperly rubbing a sharpening stone across her sword.
As she rubbed the stone across the sword fast, not paying attention to anything else. I slowly walked over to the other bed, laying down on it. "Night," I said quietly. I didn't hear a reply, as I fell asleep.
I woke up, slightly confused of my location. I then remembered the events of the day before. Sun was shinning through the only window in the room, in the dead center of the room. I heard a loud, sound coming from the other side of the room.
I rolled over, looking to the other side of the room. I could see Mia, only half covered up by the blankets. She was snoring. I leaned up, the brown blanket sliding down my chest. I noticed my hair was covering my right eye, currently. My brown eye.
Out of habit, I reached into my pocket, pulling out a comb. It wasn't till I was done combing my hair, that I noticed I had even pulled it out.
So I still had this in my pocket? I questioned myself, as I slid it back inside my pocket. I got up out of the bed, grabbing my sword off of the ground.
"So, I really am in this world now," I said to myself, sitting back down on the bed. I decided it would be best to wait for Mia to wake up, even if I had wanted to leave her I wouldn't have any gold.
I looked over, just noticing a wooden stand in the room. It had a piece of paper on I, along with a sharpening stone. I got up, and walked over to it.
"You might need to sharpen that sword I gave you, haven't used it in a while now: -Mia". It said. I looked at the stone, for a few seconds. I picked it up, and walked over to the bed I slept in. I started to sharpen the sword I had. I decided, I'd go for a walk, so I flipped over the note Mia had left, and wrote that I went for a walk and would be back later.
I closed the room door as I left. I turned, to my right, walking down the stairs. I saw their was no one in the bottom floor, except for the owner, at the counter. I nodded to him as I past by. I exited the inn, and noticed that people were walking around the streets.
I went through the village, noticing there were a group of what appeared to be Crimean knights.
"There you are!" Yelled a voice from behind me. I felt myself being tackled to the ground. I attempted to look over my shoulder, seeing strands of purple hair hanging over my shoulder.
"Mia!" I said, slightly louder then I should've.
"Yes?" She said, while sitting on top of me.
"Could you get off of me?" I questioned her. She sat their for a few more minutes, before getting off.
"Sorry about that," She said to me. I got up, standing beside her.
"It's good, just caught be by surprise," I told her.
"Excuse me, are you two mercenaries?" Someone asked us. I turned, seeing a Crimean knight in front of me.
"I am, and this is my apprentice," Said Mia.
"Great. Mind if I take you to the leader of our unit, we might need to hire you," Said the knight.
"Sure!" Yelled out Mia. The knight walked away, with me and Mia behind him. We walked to the group, I had noticed before Mia tackled me.
"Let's return to camp," Said the one that had found us. We walked out of the town, and farther into the forest. I began to question what they had been doing in town as we walked off, farther and farther into the woods.
We entered a clearing, seeing a small group of tents. They appeared to be made out of some kind of cloth, but I didn't know what it was. As we got closer to the tents, the soldiers split apart, each going their own way. The one who had told us to follow him turned to us.
"Follow me for a bit longer, then I'll take you to the commander," He told us.
"Ok," Mia said, sounding slightly annoyed. We continued following him, to what appeared to be, the commanders tent. We continued the walk in silence, till we entered the tent. The commander, who had a large amount of armor on. He had a spear near by. He wore a a helmet, all in the color red.
He turned to us, a slight glare on his face.
"Second in command Zamin, what is the meaning of these two," He questioned talking about me and Mia.
"Commander, Drake, there are two mercenaries that I found in town. Since were under-staffed I thought we might be able to use a few extra hands and sword," Said Zamin.
The commander, looked at us, judging us. "It depends on their skill. If they can match our soldiers then they can stay, but if they can't then they can't join us. So, set them up against to recruits," He stated.
"As you wish commander." Said Zamin, taking me and Mia out of the tent. "Don't worry, I'll set you two against someone who uses the same weapons as you." He told us.
"Jake, and Zack! You two are needed," He called for the two soldiers with swords hooked to their backs.
"Yes sir?" They said, walking to us.
"I was told that these two need to be tested, and you two are going to test them."
Zack looked over, nodding. Though Jake didn't seem to like it.
"Why the hell do I have to do it. The guy looks weak and the others a girl, this is going to be easy and too boring," Complained Jake.
Mia glared at him. "I'll take you down!" She yelled out angrily. I just gave him a slight glare, as I walked to the other training ground with Zack. Mia and Jake went to the other side of the camp. Zamin took the another soldier to the other battlefield.
He then came back, watching mine and Zacks fight.
"You ready?" Zack questioned me.
"Yea." I told him, as I pulled out my sword. He did the same, and dashed at me. I blocked the slash, and attempted one of my own. I slashed vertically at his shoulder. He dodged to the left slicing at me.
He cut into my arm.
"Damn." I said, drawling my arm back. Blood ran down my arm, as I dashed at him.
"Speed up, you're moving to slow." Said Zack, walking out of the way. I smiled slightly, as I slashed before stopping. I cut into his right arm.
I took a step back, as a sword came down in front of me. I raised my sword, as he sliced again. I got pushed back, as my sword broke in two.
"Damn," I said. He pointed his sword at me.
"It's over," He said. I ducked under his sword, as I did a sideways punch, to the face and stomach. I don't think he noticed the one to his chest, since he blocked the one to his face...though it was with his sword.
"Fuck!" I yelled out, grabbing my left hand. Again, I saw a sword pointed at me. And this time I couldn't do the move, I think it was called the yamizuki, though I wasn't sure.
"That would've been a good shot, if you hadn't hit my armor." He said. He turned to Zamin. "He seems new, but he has the making of a swordsman."
Mia, was walking over, a big smile on her face.
"My fight went well," She said, happily. She turned to me, and noticed the blood running down my left arm.
"Where's Jake?" Questioned, Zamin, staring at Mia.
"Face down on the ground," She said, smiling. Zamin, stared at her for a second.
"I should take you to the commander," He said, walking to the tent. Me and Mia followed him. Mia was happy, knowing she was going to be hired. Me on the other hand, who had lost, was hopping to win.
He held the flap, letting both Mia and I in. The commander was sitting in a chair, facing all three of us.
"So, Zamin, how did the two do?" Questioned Drake, looking at us.
"Mia, the female one, beat Jake by a landslide, counting he was left face down on the ground. The other on the other hand, had put up a good fight, and barely lost. Though, they share the same injuries, so they are about even," Zamin, told.
Drake, sat their, thinking. It seemed to be taking hours, yet only minutes passed by. "I'll hire them both," He said finally.
"OK sir. I'll take them to their respective tents then." I was starting to get annoyed. We had pretty much followed him for all of today. I guess a look of anger was showing on my face, because Mia elbowed me.
"Only a little longer," She whispered to me. I nodded, as we walked away.
"I'm glad to both of you were hired. Compared to most of these soldiers aren't level headed, or blood crazed," Said Zamin.
"By the way. James, your training starts at dawn!" Yelled out Mia.
"D-d-dawn?! I've never been up by then," I complained.
"Well to bad for you, since I'm your master I decide when it starts," She said, as we walked.
"Here's your tent, Mia," Said Zamin, opening the flap.
"OK. And James, if your not up at dawn I'm going to attack you in your sleep," She said, closing the flap.
"It sounds like she's got you a tight regiment," Commented Zamin, as we walked away.
"Yea, I'm already starting to regret asking her to train me," I told him.
"Well here's your tent," He said. I nodded, walking into the tent. I laid down and went straight to sleep.
I opened my eyes, for what was my third day in the camp. I yawned, quickly getting up and getting ready. I had learned the hard way that Mia wouldn't lie about attacking me in my sleep, and had a new scar on my arm to prove it.
As I picked up my sword and exited the camp, I was surprised about the sight. The camp was up in flames. I could see three soldiers dressed in red, running at me. And an orange blur, rushing at me.
"Commander Drake, what the hell happened?" I questioned the commander, who was one of the ones running at me.
"Daein ambush, took most of our men out. And the ones they haven't have been prisoner. Only warriors I've seen so far are Zamin, Zack, Mia, and You." Said the commander. "We need to get out of here!" He yelled.
"Here's another group!" Yelled out a warrior wearing black armor. I quickly turned drawing my sword, as did Mia. Zack pulled out his sword, and Zamin and Commander Drake pulled out spears.
But no sooner then he spoke, had we been surrounded, spears pointed at us.
"Drop your weapons and you'll be spared."
"There are more then we can handle," Said Zamin.
"I say we put down our weapons, we have a better chance of living," I said.
"Hell, no!" Yelled out Zack, dashing at one of them. As quickly as he moved, he had a spear shooting through his stomach. I placed down my sword, as did Mia. Drake and Zamin, put down their spears.
We were swarmed with enemies, tying us up and taking us away.
We had been held in some kind of ruins for what was hours. The four of us had been put into the same cell, which was surprising. We could hear the screams of others, as they were carried out for executions.
"So who do you think will be taken for executions first out of our group?" Questioned the commander.
"I think they would take the one that was highest up first, meaning you," I told him, a sly grin on my face. I didn't care for him, he acted like a stuck up noble.
"No-no they wouldn't do that, there's no way they would kill me," He said, getting worried. He was ready to give everyone else up, just to spare his own life.
A guard quickly walked up to us. "It's time for your commanders death," He said, smiling evil on his face, getting some sick pleasure out of doing this.
"Its him!" Yelled out Drake, pointing at me.
"Who the hell are you trying to frame, commander Drake," Me and Mia said at the same time.
"You are our Commander, Drake. This is the most honorable death you can have. Now take your leave," Said Zamin.
The guard quickly got Drake out of the cell and carried him away.
"That leaves the three of us," Said Zamin, looking at me and Mia. "If help doesn't get here, I'll be the next to die."
"Not if I take the blame for you. And say I was the second in command," I said. Over the few days I had grown to like him, as a friend. He was kind and caring, much like a cousin or something.
"I won't let you," He said, giving me a glare.
"You won't have a choice, if I knock you out first," I told him. "And either way I'm not even supposed to be here," I said, accidentally.
"What do you mean?" Questioned Mia, staring at me.
"Damn," I whispered. "I never was good at keeping secrets. I'll tell you, as long as you promise not to tell anyone else." I said looking the other two in the eyes. They both nodded.
"I'm from another world, and I know the events that come," I told them. They both stared at me. Mia started to laugh.
"Stop messing around," She said.
"I'm not!" I yelled out. "I know, at least one of us get's out of here," I looked at her. "A guy name Greil will come and help who've survives. Though there seem to be, more people then their were before," I said.
"Ok, here's a test. What is the secret of our nation?" Zamin questioned me.
"A hidden princess," I said. A shocked look crossed his face, as I smiled slyly. I felt myself grow tired, as I collapsed into the darkness of my mind.
