Well this is my first story that is not Digimon so here we go. Before we start there's a spoiler warning especially when Kimberly is involved. If you haven't either read ahead like me already or you have played through it at least twice do NOT read this.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, its characters, or its concepts. Also do not own most of the dialogue (I quote a whole lot of it). I do own Kimberly, her swords, her dialogue, and dialogue in conversations she has with other characters.
Lost In Fire Emblem
I never asked for this being your average country girl in one world and a legendary hero in another. It just turned out that way. This how it happened.
Chapter 1: The Beginning
"This just great my day can't get any worse. Seriously how does one get on a horse in full armour and two swords strapped to her back without even knowing it? Let this please not be where I think it is." I said. As if to confirm my fears I spot a silver haired girl facing a man with an axe. "Hey you big lug why not you fight somebody your own size like me." I said. "Well here goes nothing lets try these swords out," I thought. To my dismay I didn't see any blades on the swords, but when I brought them up to meet the axe it hit something. After shoving away the axe I quickly got rid of him.
"Who are you?" asked Micaiah.
"Huh the names Kimberly but that doesn't matter are you all right." I asked.
"Kimberly … what a strange name, but I'm all right thank you." said Micaiah.
"That's good you better watch out this will be though one." I said. I then spotted the Black Knight but decided to not approach him. Instead I started fending off the people that came from behind. There were a few close calls with the ranged attackers but we managed to get through it until no more came. "I guess it is safe to say that Jarod's the only one left to fight." I said.
"Yeah." said Micaiah.
"…"
"Well come on then we shouldn't stay here to long." I said.
"Uh Kimberly you have an arrow sticking out of your back." said Micaiah.
"Really I never felt it." I said pulling the arrow out with some trouble. What was surprising was that there was no blood on it. "Weird it must have gotten stuck in my armour somehow." I said.
"…"
"I guess." said Micaiah.
"Actually I as far as I can tell I haven't even been injured." I said.
"…"
"That's strange." said Micaiah.
"Yeah… anyways we better get moving the faster we get out of here the better." I said. With that we headed off searching for Jarod and along the way I found a coin on the ground, which I picked up. When we finally found him I said this, "well, well, well isn't it Jarod the Halberdier that picks fights with girls. Why not you crawl back under that rock you came from."
"And you might be." said Jarod.
"That doesn't matter to somebody who won't even survive this war if I can help it." I said.
"Oh really let's see what I can do about that," said Jarod. With that he swung his lance at me which I dodged in retaliation I swung my swords at him. He was able to dodge the first one but he was hit with the second one. This went on until Jarod collapsed. With that the Black Knight took over.
"Make your peace. This blow will be your end." said the Black Knight.
"Heh… How kind of you…" said Jarod sarcastically.
With that the Black Knight prepared to finish him off but Alder came out and took the blow. "Gurgh…"
"Alder?! Why are you here?" asked Jarod?
"I'd rather fight beside my general than create a distraction with the other soldiers." said Alder.
"You idiot! Who asked you to join me?" said Jarod.
"General Jarod... You are a terror to work under. Even so...I've always sensed a kindred spirit in you. I will follow you and fight for you...to the very gates of the abyss..." said Alder with that he died.
"Well you can't say Alder wasn't loyal." I said.
"He was a good soldier... What now? Why don't you kill me?" asked Jarod?
"My sword is not for killing those who will not raise their weapons." said the Black Knight.
"You've got to be kidding me." exclaimed Jarod!
"Stop! Stop it, both of you! A man has died protecting you. Don't waste his sacrifice!" yelled Micaiah.
"I agree with her there has been enough killing tonight." I said.
"This is not the end." yelled Jarod then turned and disappeared into the night!
"He's right even after this war there are many more battles to come plus we still have to win this one." I thought.
"No. It's not." said Maciah.
"You would simply let him go?" asked the Black Knight.
"He is not ours to judge. He belongs to the apostle now. I suppose he must bury his fallen friend and pray before facing her." said Micaiah.
"Plus he won't be so lucky in our next encounter." I said.
"What do you mean?" asked Micaiah.
"You'll see soon enough." I said.
"Anyways you have my thanks for saving me." said Micaiah.
"There is no need for thanks." said the Black Knight.
"Eh don't worry about it Lady Micaiah," I said.
"How do you know my name." asked Micaiah.
"It's complicated plus you would probably will not believe me if I told you." I said.
"Micaiah, are you safe?!" yelled Sothe who came running. Then he spotted the Black Knight, "You! Micaiah, run!"
"Sothe! It's OK. These two just saved my life" said Micaiah.
"What?! Micaiah, do you know who this is?" asked Sothe.
"Everybody knows who he is, Sothe! He is the Black Knight. One of the Four Riders under King Ashnard, and the strongest swordsman--" started Micaiah.
"Exactly! The scum that General Ike defeated in Nados Castle in Crimea, three years ago. So how can he be here now...alive." said Sothe.
"You are correct, Sothe. Ike did defeat me in that battle, in a fashion. But as you can see, I managed to escape." said the Black Knight.
"What do you want?" asked Sothe.
"For Daein to raise its banner as a kingdom once again. I came here to protect those who are necessary for that dream." said the Black Knight.
"And more importantly who are you and where did you come from." said Sothe turning to me.
"Okay think of an excuse to being here." I thought. "My name is Kimberly and I'm a wondering blade knight and I can't remember where I came from." I said. "Please let this work please let this work." I thought.
"…"
"Sothe, General Jarod was here a moment ago. If the Black Knight and Kimberly hadn't stepped in, Jarod would have killed me." said Micaiah.
"What?! But...I don't see his corpse here. And that means...he's still alive, isn't he?" asked Sothe.
"Yes. There was another soldier who sacrificed his life protecting Jarod. I presume Jarod's burying him now. Oh! Oh, no..." said Micaiah.
"What is it?!" said Sothe.
"I see a dark cloud... It's dimming the light of hope... By letting Jarod go, I may have allowed something terrible to happen..." said Micaiah.
"You aren't sure?" asked Sothe.
"Sothe, I hadn't told you, but I haven't been feeling well lately. My mind feels...foggy. Things I could always see clearly are now dim and vague. I may have committed us to an irreversible fate." said Micaiah.
"I shall aid you. No matter what Jarod may plot, I will prevent it." said the Black Knight.
"Micaiah and I don't want your help!" exclaimed Sothe.
"Sothe, stop that! In King Ashnard's War, you severed below General Ike, and you and the Black Knight were enemies. But now, you are comrades with the same goal--Daein's restoration. Listen to me. The Black Knight was Daein's strongest general. We need him." said Micaiah.
"And I am willing to serve." said the Black Knight.
"Sir Knight... That you should come to us now, is surely the will of the goddess. I thank you for your aid just now, and ask you to lend us your strength a while longer." said Micaiah.
"I don't know about that." I thought. "I will also fight for that goal." I said.
"Thank you Kimberly." said Micaiah.
"May my sword serve you well, Maiden of Dawn." said the Black Knight.
"I don't like this..." Sothe said. With that both Micaiah and Sothe left.
"Hey you will you stay for a moment." I said to the Black Knight.
"What is it?"
"I know that you are a branded."
"And how do you know that?"
"It's complicated I also know a few things about what is to come but I won't tell. Just thought you should know." I said with that I left. "Well that wasn't what I was expecting when I got up in the morning. Well anyways as they say so the plot thickens." I thought.
Well there's the first chapter for you hope you like it. Please read and review but no flaming.
