-Authors Notes-
Well, I'm going to be taking a break from writing my other fan fictions and instead devoting my time to this one, a retelling of the story of Fire Emblem Awakening.
Chrom: *accidentally breaks my table*
Goddammit Chrom…
Note: Spent hours reading support conversations scripts, attempted to learn how characters talk ._. Probablyfailedanyway.

There he laid, sprawled out on the grass like a ragdoll, the unnamed man was clad in a dark longcoat, it had intricate purple markings on it, and some bits of gold were in certain places, like the hem, the end of the sleeves, and the string that held it together. He slept…although, not soundly, not soundly at all. A dream of events that were to come flooded into his mind, a premonition, if you will.
He and another man, said man being dressed in what looked like a warriors outfit, with a cape draped over his left arm and had a more…regal air to him.
"This is it, our final battle! You're one of us, Lest, and no "destiny" can change that! Now let's kill this dastard and be done with it!" the man said, confidence overflowing in his voice. Lest wondered who this mans name was…and it came to him, nearly instantly.
"Yeah! Let's do this, Chrom!" Lest replied, drawing his steel sword from it's sheath on his hip. He held it in his right hand, and swung it down to his side, getting used to it's somewhat heavy feel.
-POV Change: Lest-
I didn't know what was going on, all that I knew was that this mans name was Chrom, and that my name is Lest. We charged towards the mage who was standing in front of a table…and I had an overwhelming urge to kill him, and I remembered his name was Validar. Validar simply laughed and took out a book, opening it and it's pages began to flip at an extremely fast pace.
"You cannot unwrite what is written!" he yelled at us, and a surge of dark magic flew toward us, me and Chrom simply sidestepped it, it was easy to predict what it was. Validar fired another bolt of dark magic at us, Chrom simply drew his sword, which I strangely recognized as Falchion and cut right through the dark aura.
"Chrom! Cover me!" I yelled, nearly within reach of Validar, who was laughing and firing magic at us.
"Alright, don't get yourself killed, Lest!" Chrom ran infront of me and began to slash at Validar, he easily dodged all of Chroms powerful sword swings. I went behind Validar and swung my sword at him, drawing blood.
"Damn you!" Validar yelled, and jumped away. I put away my sword and took out a tome, a lightning tome that was called Thoron. It opened by itself and the pages began turning quickly. The surge of magical energy that ran through me was immense! I yelled out something I thought was impressive to make it cooler.
"Time to tip the scales!" I yelled as a spear of lightning shot at and skewered the mage. He let out a scream of pain, and with his dying breath shot a huge burst of energy at Chrom. "CHROM! Look out!" I yelled as I immediately ran to him and pushed him out of the way, being hit with the magic myself.
-POV Change: Chrom-
Oh Gods…when Lest took the hit for me I looked at him, wide-eyed and surprised. He…he smiled at me, as if he didn't really care about his life and only cared about mine…dammit Lest! If you die here…! I ran over to him, Validar had dissolved into black mist…and was gone.
"Lest…Lest! Wake up!" I shook him, as if to wake him up from a heavy sleep. Lest's eyes fluttered open, and he looked at me. "Are you alright? Well, that's the end of him, thanks to you we carried the day! We can rest easy now!" I exclaimed before Lest began to look at me strangely. "At long la-…hey…whats wrong? Hey, hang o-" I lurched over, looking at Lest. He was laughing, and I looked down to see a spear of lightning in my chest.
-POV Change: Lest (Affected by Grima)-
I skewered Chrom with Thoron…I regretted nothing…I wanted to kill, I wanted to see BLOOD! I began to laugh. I didn't care. Chrom is dying. Die…die…die…DIE…DIE! To my surprise, Chrom began to speak…
"This is not your—your fault…promise me...you'll escape from this place…please, go…" I stayed silent after he said that. I killed him…and he forgave me? What? WHAT?! I WANTED TO SEE HIS RAGE! HIS ABSOLUTE HATRED AT ME FOR KILLING HIM! He fell down, finally dying. I turned away from him, laughing.
-POV Change: Chrom-
So…this is how I die? Sorry…Sumia, sorry…Lucina. For not surviving…like I promised.
-POV Change: Lest-
"Chrom, we have to do SOMETHING."
'Huh…?'
"What do you propose we do?"
'Who's…that?'
"I... I dunno…"
'Don't know what?' I opened my eyes, adjusting them to the light of the sun, it was…Chrom? And…a girl I didn't know.
"I see you're awake now." Chrom said, extending his hand towards me, as if to help me get up.
"Hey there!" the girl chirped, she was wearing a rather childish…yet elegant dress.
"There are better place to sleep than on the ground, you know. Give me your hand." I grabbed his hand, he helped me up and smiled. I noticed a strange mark on my right hand…six eyes, all connected by a thin line, what did it mean?
