Welcome to you and my name is HBDS_2013. I'd say my full name, but the shortened form sounds loads better. Anyway, this is the Near-Sighted Summoner in Askr and is somewhat inspired by the likes of jdt1829's Everyday Heroes and RoBlu321's Fire Emblem Heroes: Kiran's Journey. This will be written in the first person and will mostly be from the Summoner's POV with the occasional switch to other characters.

The first two chapters were surprisingly easy to write, even if it took at least a month for me to write it all. Without further ado, I hope you enjoy the fic and if you have questions, suggestions or problems- lemme know.

*? POV*

I closed the car door behind me and ignored the rain as I trudged up the stairs to the third floor of the apartment complex while holding a plastic bag. I kept walking until I saw a door plaque marked "104-B" on the left side of the hallway. I fished out the keys from my pocket and unlocked the door.

I let out a dull "Yay" as I stepped through the door and walked inside with my groceries and keys in hand.

My apartment wasn't much to look at, what with its white walls (ugh, I hate not being allowed to paint the walls) and carpeted grey floor. To my left was a tiny dining room with two metal chairs next to a bigger square plastic table. I flipped the switch near the kitchen and the lights flickered open, revealing a gas stove surrounded by a pair of birch cupboards. On the opposite side was a refrigerator crowded with a calendar on the freezer door and several drawings of ponies drawn in crayon.

Next to the fridge was a counter with a black coffee maker next to a small bag of Death Wish coffee, two medium bags of Batangas coffee (a gift from my late mother), a stack of coffee filters and a knife rack with a twelve-inch chef's knife and a hand-sized survival knife. (The chef's knife was a moving away gift from my dad, while the survival knife I ordered online on a whim.) Next to the knife rack was a small sink with apple-scented dishwasher soap and a small tub filled with sponges and steel wool.

I sighed as I rotated my arms, took off my soaked chef's jacket and hung it over the other chair then took off my red tactical vest and set it on my lap. I flipped the plastic bag and stuffed two pouches with coffee candy while leaving the remaining one for my phone.

I set down the plastic bag and my keys on the table then sat down and cleaned my glasses. I fished out a pink slip and an envelope from the plastic bag, then the pen and permanent marker from my pants pockets and set them down along with everything else. I groaned at the pink slip, then tore the envelope and sighed at the contents and walked to the counter. I opened up one of the coffee cups, then the cabinets closest to me and grabbed a spoon and my favorite, blue Vault Boy-themed mug. I opened the coffee bag and the lid of the coffee maker replaced the old filter and opened up one of the Batangas coffee bags. I relished in the strong smell of home-away-from-home as I spooned some beans into a new filter while listening to the heavy rain outside. I took out the pitcher and filled it with water from the sink, then filled the coffee maker with enough water for four cups.

I had finished preparing the coffee when I heard the Pillar Men theme from my tactical vest.

I brought out my iPhone 4S from the right pouch of my vest and opened up the Steam app. I scrolled to the bottom of the chat log and saw that one of my online friends was playing Dark Souls 2. I declined the invite, checked my mail and sighed from my inability to afford a Nintendo Switch, Smash Ultimate and Kingdom Hearts 3.

The new-ish Fire Emblem Heroes game had been out for at least a year and a half and I knew of it from surfing the internet (and from my friends bugging me about it, much like how I'm also a closet fan of a certain show with pastel colored horses but that's a different story altogether) As for the series itself, Blazing Sword was my starter, then I moved on to buy Shadow Dragon and its sequel then tried Awakening, Fates and Smash 4. (I was also somewhat familiar with Roy and Ike thanks to the latter.)

I put on my coffee candy-stuffed vest and opened the FE Heroes app and yawned. I walked back to the coffee maker, poured myself a cup and gulped down my joe while I waited for the loading screen to finish, then watched the title screen go on for about five seconds until I got bored and tapped the title screen. I typed out my real name instead of my handle. I realized what I had done, but before I can change my name, I felt a light draft underfoot and found myself standing for a brief moment. I tried to pull myself from the void underfoot after I felt it suck my chair, but it was too strong and I slipped inside while holding my phone.

I was screaming for a long time until a blue speck of light appeared in front of me and went supernova, forcing me to cover my eyes. I uncovered my eyes and stopped screaming long enough to watch the void turn into clear skies. My hair whipped around my face as I watched clouds rising upward, then tried to cover my eyes from the harsh sunlight. I slowly twisted my body in a way where my head was facing the ground and tucked my arms against my sides.

I regretted the idea as I tried to spread out my limbs, but the air too cold for me to do so and I was too occupied with not dying to admire the scenery when the clouds turned into grass. The last thing I remember before I blacked out was hitting something white with red hair and gold scales.

I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to top this chapter, but I like what I've done so far and I wanted it to be different from the Kiran/Summoner intros I've read in the site. I've also been told that I suck at descriptions, especially places and I want to change that. I'd like to think that I've improved my writing skill thanks to three semesters of writing classes, at least four years of RPing in Skyrim and four years of writing pony fanfiction, but that's probably wishful thinking and I still have so much to learn about writing in general.
