So this is my first shot at writing. This is my own version of FE Awakening, with some rather drastic changes that you're sure to see shortly, so I hope you all enjoy!
I do not own Fire Emblem.

"Ahh" a tall man with blue hair, wearing a single sleeved blue jacket that reveals the brand on his right shoulder along with a set of light silver armor, charges forward with a war cry while brandishing his sword, preparing to thrust the blade through another man.
This second man had long spikey hair, dark skin, red eyes and a rectangular face. He was wearing sinister looking black robes and countering all of the first man's swings by coating his hands in a purpleish-blue magic, oblivious to the third figure, tome in hand charging from behind him.
This final person was wearing a long black coat with yellow cuffs and purple designs that covered it in a way that made it look like there were three eyes on either sleeve of the coat. However the hood of the coat was up, obscuring any features aside from their beige pants and shirt.
Just as the hooded person was about to release their spell the evil looking man suddenly disappeared.
"Up there!" The blue haired man shouted.
Looking to where his ally pointed the cloaked man jumped out of the way of the incoming wave of purple magic while simultaneously letting off his own spell in an attempt to strike him.
It was for not however as the man teleported out of the way in the nick of time to dodge the hooded figure's lightning. He reappeared in front of the blue haired man and blasted him with the same spell the hooded person had dodged, sending him flying into a pillar, shattering it.
The red-eyed man prepared a spell, presumably to finish the blue haired man off.
"DIE!" he shouted as he let fly the spell.
The hooded mage however stopped it by casting another electrical type spell. The two spells created an explosion which sent the two allies rolling across the room while the other man laughed manically.
As he stood up the blue haired man turned to the hooded figure "Come on Robin! This is the final battle, let's finish this!"
The now identified Robin grunted as he stood "You got it Chrom! This ends now!" he shouted.
"HA! Fools! You cannot hope to escape your destiny!" the evil man cackled out as the two charged him sword and tome in hand.
The man had made the mistake of underestimating the two however as they quickly overwhelmed him with their teamwork. The two were in perfect sync each time one of their weaknesses were exposed the other covered it.
It took the pair little more than twenty seconds to get a decisive strike into the man and as soon as they did he began dissolving into a purple fire.
"This… isn't over…" he wheezed out "Damn you BOTH!" he screeched as he let off one last spell before he completely fade.
Noticing that his friend wouldn't be able to dodge in time, Robin pushed Chrom out of the way, taking the attack himself, which sent him flying.
After collecting himself Chrom sprinted over to his friend, sheathing his sword in the process, and helped him up "Are you alright?" he asked to which he received a nod "Good, It's over now… Thanks to you we carried the day… we can finally rest easy…"
Robin suddenly clutched his head as his vision flashed red. He barely noticed it when his friend asked him if he was okay. He noticed his hand seemingly moving on its own, casting a Thoron in his hand which, although he didn't want to, was quickly stabbed into Chrom's stomach.
"This is not your-" he began as he fell to his knees "your fault… Promise me you'll escape from here…" he finished as hell to the ground lifelessly.
Robin looked down at his hands in disbelief as his vision finally cleared "NOOO!"

Deep in a void absent of all light the large crimson eye of a dragon who had watched all of this play out for what seemed like the hundredth time closed as it swatted the image aside with its enormous claw "Perhaps… I too shall choose a champion this time… It's a shame the only person who could suffice is already stuck with that monstrosity…" The black dragon thought "Aha… I'll help that poor boy, he shall be my champion as well" it roared as it vanished from the void it had resided in for the past three millennia.

"-We have to do SOMETHING" a childish female voice was the first thing I heard.
"Well then what do you propose we do?" another unknown yet strangely familiar masculine voice responded as I slowly opened my eyes to see a blue haired man arguing with a short blonde girl who had her hair tied in pigtails.
"I-I dunno…" she answered looking slightly downcast as the man turned his gaze to me.
"I see you're awake now… there are better places to take a nap then a field you know…" he said as he extended his hand out to me "Give me your hand."
As I grabbed hold of it I noticed a strange glowing purple tattoo of six eyes connected to what appears to be a nose on my right hand. Taking a glance up at the blue haired man to see if he noticed it, which it seems he didn't, I looked back down only to notice that it's gone.
Once I was standing I realized that I'm wearing the same coat as that person in my dream, it's the only thing I can really remember from it actually.
"You alright?" the blue haired man asked.
"Ye-Yeah… Thanks Chrom…" I replied instinctively.
"Ah so you know who I am?" The man now known to be Chrom asked skeptically while taking in the appearance of the man in front of him.
He had short silvery white hair that was marred by a lock of black that fell between his eyes and pale skin. He was wearing a long black coat with 3 purple eyes on either sleeve. A black shirt, black pants and a pair of brown boots. Chrom could also make out the silver and black handle of a sword strapped sideways across the back of his waist. But what really stood out were his two different eye colors. His right eye was amber but his left was a menacing crimson with a slit black pupil.
The man who he'd just helped up blinked twice "…No… I-it just came to me…" he said moving his hand to his chin in thought.
Chrom raised an eyebrow "…How curious… tell me stranger… What's your name?" he asked.
The man thought on it for a moment "I… can't remember…" he said looking downcast.
The blonde girl tapped her finger to her cheek in thought "Ah!" she shouted "I've heard of this, it's called amnesia!"
Suddenly a man with brown hair and ornate heavy blue armor that the amnesiac hadn't noticed made his opinion known "It's called a load of pegasus dung. We're to believe you know milord's name yet can't remember your own?" he said with a glare while reaching for the spear from the horse that had been at his side for a while.
"But it's the truth!" the silver haired man replied.
Seeing that this wasn't going to go well for his new acquaintance Chrom decided to step in "… But what if it IS true Fredrick? What kind of Shepherds would we be if we just left him here alone and confused?" he said in an attempt to appease the knight.
Just the same." The knight known as Fredrick began "It would not do to let a wolf into our flock…"
Chrom smiled "Right then- we'll take him back to town and sort this out there." He said with a nod.
The amnesiac glanced between the two men in front of him "Do I have any say in this?" he asked.
Surprisingly it was the blonde who responded "Nope." She said popping the 'P'.
"Of course not..." the man sighed.
As the group was marching towards the town in silence the silverette decided to voice his thoughts "So am I to be your prisoner?" he asked cautiously glancing at his 'captors'.
Chrom responded without missing a beat "Of course not! You'll be free to go once we establish you're no enemy of Ylisse."
"Is that where we are? Ylisse?" he asked furrowing his brow.
"Indeed." Chrom responded "This is called the Halidom of Ylisse, our ruler, Emmeryn, is called the exalt. I suppose proper introductions are in order, my name is Chrom- though you already knew that. The delicate one here is my little sister Lissa." He said gesturing to the blonde.
"HEY! I am NOT delicate!" she shouted "Ignore my brother, he's a bit thick sometimes. But you're lucky that the Shepherds found you. Brigands would have been a rude awakening!" she finished cheerfully.
"Shepherds? You tend to sheep? In full armor?" the amnesiac questioned.
Chrom just laughed while giving him a pat on the back "Ha! It's a dangerous job, just ask Fredrick the weary here." He said.
Fredrick took a second to glare at Chrom "A title I shall wear with pride. Gods forbid one of us keeps an appropriate level of caution. I have every wish to trust you but my position mandates otherwise." He spoke.
The amnesiac nodded "I guess that makes sense… Ah I remembered! My name is Robin, I apologize it has taken me so long to remember that." He said with a smile.
Chrom looked up "Well then it's a pleasure to me-" he began before he noticed smoke coming from the town they'd been headed towards "Fredrick! Lissa! Let's go! The town's being attacked!" he shouted as the three sprinted off leaving Robin on his own.
Checking his person for weapons he found a yellow book and the sword attached to his waist. Seeing this he ran off to catch up to the others, hoping that they weren't about to get themselves killed.

I hope you've enjoyed the first chapter. Also I want to include a pairing for Robin in this story but for what I have as a general plan, the choices are kinda limited, so I'll leave it to anyone here. None of the characters are due to appear for a while so there's some time. The choices are: Severa, Nah, Tiki, Noire or Anna. I hope to make enough changes that it will be enjoyable to read instead of just another novelization. Also while all of the characters mentioned before will appear later in the story, it won't be as late as in the game.
