I honestly didn't know what to expect when I died. Some would think they would go to hell or heaven. Some would say that that they would get re-incarnated. Few or more people would say you would become ghosts.

Me?

Well… I didn't really know. I didn't really know what to think. No matter what you say, you can't prove it, so instead, I just decided to believe that nothing happens. Maybe you just get stuck in a black void and just… stay there?

As for why I'm talking about this? Well… I died.

I don't even know how. Did something hit me? Or did I get shot? Well whatever, at least I remember everything else. For now, I guess you can call me Raiden for now.

I live(d) for Metal Gear Rising and Skyrim, not to mention Fire Emblem.

I could say that many thoughts were running through my head. But really, I was just confused.

How did I die?

It was one of those annoying things that you feel like you should know but you don't, and it just pisses you off so much.

I blinked, and I could feel something entering my vision.

Wait… is that light?

I blinked slightly, my Hazel eyes widening slightly.

Shit, do you run away from the light or go towards it?

Wait, why is it coming towa- OH FUCKING GOD THE PAIN IS BAD HELPPLEASETHISISTERRIBLE

The light vanished, and I felt the familiar feeling of falling asleep.

I felt a small nudge on my arm, causing me to shake slightly.

And another one.

And another one.

This time there was a voice.

''-Ello, Hello?''

The voice was feminine, so it's either a girl or a woman.

I was Confused. Where am I? The last thing I remember was a white light racing towards me-

Oh… I died. In my world that is.

So then where am I?

Did I get reborn or something? Maybe some kind of 2nd life? No, I wouldn't be on the floor then, unless they dropped me.

I felt the same nudge, and heard a voice once again.

''Hello?'' This time I opened my eyes.

Hazel met Crimson.

I blinked

She blinked

''Hi''

Brilliant Sherlock.

The girl, who was so damned familiar but I just can't put a name on her, blinked and tilted her head, in a so damned adorable way, and blinked again before smiling.

It was also then I noticed she was around 8 years old.

''Hello, are you okay?'' I blinked at her question and nodded slightly, disgruntled

''Umm… Yeah, sure. Thanks for asking'' I say. Before blinking. My voice…

Why does my voice sound like I'm 9 years old?!

As I silently felt a lump rise in my throat, the girl –Who I still can't place a name on but it's on the tip of my tongue- nudged me and pointed to… a sword and a few tomes?

The Sword, and I shit you not, looked EXACTLY like Dawnbreaker from Skyrim, and… were those tomes destruction tomes from Skyrim as well?

Wait…

''Are you an adventurer?'' The girl, who, just for your information, has white-ish or light blonde hair and crimson eyes, with a small hairband on her head asked

It was then I processed her question, which I –Slowly- shook my head too

''No miss, I'm just looking for my parents. This sword belongs to my father, and the tomes were given to me by my mother.'' Please just accept that lie. Please.

Fortunately, she believed it before something dawned on her. Fear gripped my heart

Please just accept it. Please god, Shenron, Akatosh, Valar, just let this lie pass until I can figure out what the hell is going on.

''Sorry for not introducing myself. I'm Corrin, Princess of Nohr''

Wait. Corrin?

It was then I realised why she's so similar…

Oh fuck me.

''P-princess, forgive me!'' I do a poor imitation of a bow, which causes Corrin to burst into a fit of giggles

''There's no need to bow'' She said and, with a sheepish smile I stood up and scratched my head.

''Sorry, I was never near Nobility before'' That's true. I almost never stepped out of my house, unless I had to go the shop or anywhere else really.

''I suppose it makes sense, not a lot of my siblings come out of the castle unless father tells them to, also, may I please know your name?'' The Crimson eyed girl asked.

I nodded quickly ''My name is Raiden milady''

''Nice to meet you Raiden!'' She said with a smile that seemed to light up the place. I let out a smile as well.

''Nice to meet you too milady'' She frowned slightly when she heard the 'Milady' bit

''Please, just call me Corrin.'' I nodded

''Very well Corrin, but may I please ask… where am I?'' I really wanted to know where I was. Obviously not in my world, since the Princess of Nohr (Hoshido? Valla?) is in front of me

''Oh! You're in Nohr, near the Northern Fortress!''

Okay, so I'm in Nohr, probably after Corrin was taken, I got Dawnbreaker and Skyrim tomes with me. I swear this is like a bad fanfiction writer's work.

I'm going to predict what's gonna happen next. A bandit will jump out of those bushes.

It was then there was a small rustle in the bushes, and four people jumped out.

Fucking called it.

The leader (I guess?) let out a cruel laugh

''Would you look at this boys, we hit jackpot today'' The guy let out a creepy smile, which PROBABLY would have unnerved the Joker himself.

No, scratch that. Nothing unnerves that guy.

''A Princess that would be sold for a high ransom'' The Boss Said while looking at Corrin

He then turned his attention to me.

''What is he lads? Some kind of Retainer?'' His friends laughed, he then looked at Dawnbreaker. ''I'm feeling generous today though, give me your sword and we'll let you go'' I glanced at the sword before shaking my head.

''Sorry, but not going to happen.'' Dream or not, I am NOT going to risk pissing off one of the Daedric Princes. I quickly pulled out my sword and settled into a stance that –hopefully- resembled Raiden's from Metal gear rising revengeance.

Thank you Raiden.

Okay, sword in front, leg widened slightly. Okay, now time to pray.

The bandits let out a laugh.

''Would you look at that boys, this kid thinks he can play hero!'' The leader let out a small smirk and pointed at one of his friend ''Jack, kill him and take his sword. Then we take the princess''

Oh for the love of Akatosh.

I blinked- where did that come from? I turned to Corrin.

''Corrin, get out of here.'' The moment I said it the princess shook her head vigorously, or I think, since, you know, it's moronic to turn your back to your opponent. Common sense.

Trust me, I got into enough fights to know that if you turned your back your dead meat.

''I'm not leaving you!''

''You will'' My voice, thankfully, left no room for argument. ''If you want to help so badly, then find someone to help'' I wasn't arrogant, there's, like a one percent chance that I could even scratch this guy, and considering I'm a kid I probably won't hit this Bandit.

It was also then that an Idea came into mind. Didn't Dawnbreaker have a fire enchantment on it that affects everyone and another enchantment that makes Dawnbreaker more effective against the undead?

I turned my head, slightly, not enough to lose track of the bandits, but enough to look at Corrin, and saw Corrin nod.

''Okay, my Brothers and my sister should be around here somewhere''

Unfortunately, the Bandits heard that as well.

''Shit, Jack! Hurry up and kill the kid and just take that damned girl!''

Shit.

''Corrin RUN!'' I heard the sound of rushing footsteps and it was then I realised that Jack was already upon me like a wolf, which caused me to leap back quickly. He then gave a clumsy, yet strong, left strike, which I barely managed to parry. He then gave a strike that clearly was aimed to decapitate me, which I managed to fall back slightly, and gave a similar clumsy strike.

It was pure, fucking luck that I managed to scratch him in the arm, but the enchantment did its job. flames almost seemed to appear from nothing. Thank god this sword had that enchantment on it.

Almost right away the Bandit let out an ear-splitting, almost unholy scream.

Now, I could tell you that I shook it off and proceeded to kill him, but that would be a lie.

I froze up, and when the flames disappeared, you only needed to look at his burnt face to see fear.

I hear a *thud* and realised he dropped his sword, which I kicked away quickly, and then pointed Dawnbreaker at his neck as he dropped on his knees in pain.

''P-please, mercy! I have a family; I'm only doing this for the money PLEASE!'' Crap baskets.

Before I could do anything I saw an arrow stick out of Jack's eye. Before a grumble was heard.

''Pathetic, begging to live from a kid?'' The leader scoffed, it was then I realised he had an iron bow drawn and was notching another arrow, before glancing at Dawnbreaker again then at me. ''Still kid, you're not bad for your age, say, how about you join us?'' He let out a small smirk ''You'll be allowed to do anything, no questions asked. All the food you want; all the people you want to slaughter. In fact, you might become an okay fighter.'' He stated ''So kid, how about it?'' He said

Yeah no.

''Well…'' I have to stretch to time here, not only could the guy just shoot me, but since the chance that this is held back by the games rules they could probably throw their axes at my head. ''While those sound really good and everything I'm afraid I have to decline.'' The leader sighed. ''A shame, but should have expected this really.'' He sighed before ''Boys, let's kill him''

I felt my eyes widen as they all drew, minus the leader, who already had his iron bow nocked. drew their iron axes.

Huh, so that Jack fellow was the only one with a swo- OH SHIT.

I barely was able to duck when an axe came with the intent to chop my head off, but unfortunately I wasn't fast enough to move away from the arrow that flew right into my stomach, causing me to cough up a bit of blood. I held my stomach and looked up, only to see the leader drawing another final arrow ''Sorry kid, but you really should have accepted my offer.''

''Great, I barely lived for ten minutes and I die already. Great.'' I was ready to either feel an axe hitting my neck or an arrow in my eye. However, I heard a voice call out,

''You can't hide from me!'' I looked up. Yeah, same blonde hair, same horse, and probably same Brynhildr Tome.

Hello Prince Leo.

Oh, hey that ground is getting heck of a lot close-

I almost immediately blacked out.

A/N: So, I know I have a lot of stories. But I recently watched Fates playthroughs and I must say I love the game. I already have Awakening and Fates is the next game I want to get!

Anyways, thank you for reading this story. Reviews mean a lot, but I am not going to force you guys. I'll take any Constructive Criticism from you guys!

See you guys next chapter in- Of Black and White Wings
