Unfocused: First I don't own the game or the name Fire Emblem in any way or form.
Erk: That is a bit of a no brainier.
Unfocused: Well disclaimers are needed. I'll just make you say them next time then.
Erk: Your point is?
Unfocused: Never mind. Sorry if the summary isn't too good. Just so people know who may ask, the tactician will fight but only very little. I tried finding any grammar or spelling mistakes that spell check didn't see. If you do review, please note any I missed. The name of the story has to do with the tactician. Also the rating is just to be on the safe side.
Erk: Which knowing you will be allot. Also you're just not good with names in the first place. You didn't even have a name for the story before you started writing.
Unfocused: Do I need to have Serra come and talk to you?
Erk leaves.

Prologue: A Girl from the Plains
It was a nice mild summer day with a slight breeze blowing through the grass. There was a traveler walking through the grass that seemed to wobble every couple of minutes. So other words a normal day in the Sacaen plains. The traveler was wearing a green cloak with gold and white small triangles alternating in color at the top of the collar. He wore black pants, a white shirt decorated with orange vs. around the collar. Over it he wore a black vest. He was average height; he had black hair combed straight with a small pony tail. He wore a type of sunglasses with a flat top that rested on his nose that covered his eyes. The thing about the traveler that made him odd was that he was covering his stomach like he was wounded but there was no visible blood, he had a small pouch of gold tied to his pants, and also that he still had a traveling pack. He took a few steps forward then collapsed. His only thought was that he messed up the opportunity he was given.
He awoke with his eyes snapping instantly open to the sight of being surrounded by a building made of what appeared to be animal skin supported by wooden support beams that had a dresser and a kettle in the corner. Having taken stock of his surroundings he became edgy since he couldn't tell where he was plus that a part of his brain seemed to be shutting off on him. As he looked around he identified his surroundings as that of a ger, a type of basic shelter used by the people of Sacae.
He calmed him self enough that he didn't react badly when he heard a sound coming near him. He quickly closed his eyes when since his glasses were off (this is obvious to him since everything wasn't darkened).
"Are you awake?" a female voice asked.
"Yes" he just answers.
"I found you unconscious on the plains yesterday. I'm Lyn of the Lorca tribe. You're ok here. Can you remember your name?" Lyn said.
While Lyn was speaking he tried to remember what he was taught about the people of Sacae.
"O yes, sorry for being so rude. My name is Alexsander. Have you seen my glasses around?" he said.
"Yes, here they are." Lyn said as she handed them to him.
While he's putting them back on she continues talking "Your name is Alexsander, what an odd sounding name. But pay me no mind. It's a good name. I see by your attire that you're a traveler."
After he had put on his glasses he saw that she wore a blue Sacaen nomadic robe and had blue eyes with green hair with a type circlet with a blue stone in the middle of it keeping her hair back and in a pony tail.
Alexsander nods his head answering her question.
"What brings you to the Sacaen plains and would you share your story with me?" asked Lyn looking like she was hoping that he would share his story.
Due to the question he became unnerved but was saved from having to decide whether or not to tell her what he remembered from a sound coming from out side.
Lyn getting up "I'll go see what that noise was. You wait here for me."
'Whew that was close. They only said to be aware of who one trusts. Wait, what else was I told to be aware of?' Alex thought while he searched through his pack.
Lyn rushed back in after a few minutes and headed for the dresser in the corner while simply saying "Bandits. They must have come from the Bern Mountains. They must be planning on raiding the local villages."
She took a new iron sword and two vulnerary. She put the two vulnerary in a small pouch she had while putting the sheathed sword through a belt. Adjusting her sword and checking her bag she said "You stay here, you'll be safe." With that she headed out the door.
'Well she helped me when I collapsed I might as well as help her. I should be strong enough even after all that traveling' Alex thought as he prepared him self for the battle up ahead "Lyn wait. I'll help you with the bandits."
Lyn stopped when he said that and looked at him "Can you use a sword?"
Alex seemed to be lost in thought just for a second, "No but I'm a strategist. I can help you with your fighting and tactics."
Lyn thought for a moment then said"Ok. It seems an odd profession, but if your willing to help then come along."
With that the two went out the ger to face their opponents.
As they went out side Alex adjusted his glasses causing the design in gold of two dragons with a blood red orb in its top claw on each side while the dragon on the right had a red crystal in its bottom claw while the dragon on the left had a blue crystal. Where the two dragons met was a jade green crystal and below it was a white jewel. As he looked across the plains he spotted three brigands, two were close by and one farther off. As he headed over to where Lyn had moved to hide the glasses design was hidden again.
As they came closer to the brigands the closest one spotted them. He charged Lyn but she dodged without a scratch and then finished him off just as the second one came up from behind her right.
"Lyn jump to the left" Alex yelled as the brigand brought his axe down.
Lyn was able to dodge out of the way of the main blunt of the force. As the brigand brought his axe up he hit her with the flat edge of his axe on her right side and was able to cut her. She then got up slashing at the brigand.
"Thank you for the warning Alex. Can you pass me a vulnerary from the satchel?" Lyn said as she held her cut.
He handed her the vulnerary as they then headed over to were there last of the brigand was.
As they approached the ger the brigand yelled "Who do you think you are? You think you can stand up to Batta the Beast?"
He then swung his axe down as Lyn came into reach. She jumped back then jumped forward jabbing forward. She manages to stab Battas left arm. She then draws her sword out just to have it be grabbed by Battas right hand. He is then able to make a cut on Lyns left arm from the shoulder down. Clutching her wound she jumps back with her sword in her left hand.
Having been able to move away from Batta Lyn applies enough of a vulnerary to her wound to be able to fight back. She then runs to wards him with her sword ready. She slices twice. One slash cuts Battas left arm where she had stabbed him before. Batta blocked the other slash with his axe. Batta then hit her with his axes blunt side. She falls down unconscious for a few seconds. He walks up to her while raising his axe.
Alexs mind goes blank while his glasses red orbs glow along with the white crystal in the center. 'In his mind he sees through the eyes of some one running through a city while hearing objects whistle past them. The person then runs turning a corner panting hard. A shadow blocks out his vision causing the runner to look up. They see a cloaked figure bring out knives in there hand. The person moves back trying to run. The knives are thrown just as they get up. They escape the knives but the cloaked figure is by them with a sword raised over there head.' He then sees what is happening.
He runs to move in front of Lyn just in time to catch the axe on his left arm pushing up with the help of his right arm. He grits his teeth while Batta grins and pushes harder. Lyn wakes up to see this. She quickly moves to a killing stance, then proceeds to move fast cutting Batta in different spots while avoiding Alex. As Batta dies the axe dislodges from Alexs arm. His glasses red orbs stop glowing while the white crystal stops glowing a little while later after Alex had almost fallen over.
"What? How…how did you do that" Batta mutters as he falls.
Lyn and Alex helps one another back to her ger "Whew. That was close. I underestimated him. I'm sorry if I worried you Alex."
"It's ok Lyn. You did well in the fight." Alex reassured her.
As they walked back Alexs white crystal pulsed faintly then stopped as Alex started loosing consciousness.
Having awoken he found him self back in Lyns ger. "Good morning Alex. I hope it's ok if I call you that for short." Lyn said. Alex just nods getting up and making sure that his glasses was on.
"That fight yesterday must have taken a lot out of you." Lyn says with a sad expression, Alex just smiles will listening. "Say Alex, I wanted to talk to about something." Alex tilts his head to show that he's listening.
"You have some experience in the ways of war. Would you allow me to travel with you?" Lyn asked.
Alex stared ahead for a few seconds.
He then said "Well I have no objections if you came but, I would fell much better if you asked your parents."
Lyn becoming sad "I can't ask for their permission. They died six months ago. My people, the Lorca, not many of my people survived a bandit attack. The tribe was scattered and there wasn't any order to what happened. My father was out chieftain and I wanted to protect our people, but because I was young and that my parents were old fashioned no one would follow me."
He looked down hiding his face while saying " Some people are like that. Many a times people don't follow the person that would be best suited to lead them."
Lyn moves back "Thank you. I'm sorry. It's just been so long since I've had some one to talk to. So Alex, would it be ok if I came with you?"
Alex standing smiled "Well I'm not to sure what will happen but I'd appreciate the company. I'll try to help you all I can in helping you become strong as possible."
"O thank you Alex. I know we'll be better off working together." Lyn hugged Alex causing his glasses to fall off.
Before they could hit the ground he was able to catch them and put them back on. But he wasn't fast enough and Lyn saw his eyes. Lyn surprised "Your eyes, they're…"
Unfocused: Sorry if the chapter followed the game to much. I'm trying to alter it enough so it is different.
