A/N: Hey, FE fans! This is my new story, and I hope you will enjoy it. Honestly, this really is just something I came up with to help my other story get farther by making my creative side work, but I want to see this story to the end! So enjoy and on with the story!
"Do you understand your mission?" a dark figure asked, her golden eyes glittering in the darkness of the empty night.
"Yeah, we just go to Sacae and kill the Taliver Bandits for abusing the people in the region, right? We'll get it done, Lady Sonia," the smaller person confirmed, in an excited voice reminiscent of a teenager.
"Archy, go to your room while I have a talk with Sonia here, okay?" a man said in a gruff voice.
The teen nodded in response, bowed to both of them, and ran enthusiastically to his room to prepare.
"Sonia, I don't approve of you taking my child to the Taliver Bandits of all people. There brutality is known even here in the Black Fang. Are you trying to get him killed? Why can't Lloyd and Linus take care of it?" the man told Sonia.
Because Brendan, he has been a part of the Black Fang for too long. He has been training with Ursula and Jerme for a while now, so he should be ready, yes? Besides, I am going with him personally to watch how his progress pays off." Sonia told him dismissively. "He will go on this mission, and I want to hear nothing else from you," she commanded him. In response, the man named Brendan stormed out of the room in clear anger at one of his children being sent against a whole tribe of bandits not for their brutality.
'Finally I can be rid of that nuisance. He is so much more troublesome than Nino and even more suspicious of me than Linus and Lloyd. This mission has him too excited to see his impending doom,' Sonia thought evilly while her golden eyes seemed to glitter in the night maliciously.

The boy had been preparing for a while now, and he was nearly done packing for the mission when he heard a knock on his door. He quickly put a stop to what he was doing and went to the door to open it. He was a little surprised to see Lloyd standing at the door.
"Hey Lloyd, what are you doing here so late?" he asked.
"Archy, the sun just set about a half hour ago, there is a while yet before we will go to sleep." He commented rather off-handedly. "Besides, what are you getting ready for?"
"I'm going on a mission to wipe out the Taliver Bandits in Sacae for terrorizing the people there! It's my very first mission, so I'm excited!"
Lloyd was instantly worried about his surrogate little brother after hearing about his target. "Are you going alone?" he asked the energetic teen.
"Lady Sonia is going with me herself. It's kinda weird, but I'm sure she means well." He told Lloyd, who instantly started thinking about Sonia's plans.
'What is that woman up to? She just came a month ago, and it's like father just lets her do whatever she wants' he thought, as he and Linus were very suspicious about how that woman just suddenly appears and starts using their father like a pawn to control the Black Fang. "Well, father just told me that you were going on a mission, and I just wanted to tell you to be careful. Okay?"
"Okay Lloyd," he said, before turning back and putting his Thunder tome in his pack and taking out a pair of daggers.
"You're taking those?" Lloyd said, surprised, and as he knew Archy was much better with his magic.
"Yeah, I mean what if I can't use my magic? Then I have a backup," he said giving a sneaky smile Lloyd just barely caught. He just finished packing and was ready to look for Sonia to depart. Bye Lloyd, see ya later," he said before rushing off to get Sonia.

He found Sonia at the clearing outside the rooms, waiting for him to come. "Lady Sonia, I'm here!" he told her.
"Good, are you ready to go to Sacae?" she asked sweetly, but the boy couldn't help but to shiver inwardly at the woman. All he did was nod curtly in response. Sonia then raised her hand and they both teleported away from the Black Fang base. They landed somewhere in Sacae, which was easy to tell because of the rolling grass that seemed to go on forever.
"We're here," Sonia told him. He was excited at first until he looked at her face, which seemed very evil and creepy.
"Are you okay?" he asked her.
Oh, I'm okay, but I'm afraid you will not be." She told him sinisterly.
"What do you mean?" he asked her, slowly reaching for his daggers at his waist. He knew something was going to happen, and he wasn't going to like it.
"I mean that today will be the last day that you live!" Sonia yelled before pulling out a Fimbulvetr tome. She started chanting, but he was prepared. He pulled out his daggers and in a burst of speed, ran toward her as fast as he could. The adrenaline ran through him as the grass around him became a blur. Unfortunately, Sonia finished her spell before he got to her and sent a giant wall of deadly ice spike right towards him.
He managed to dodge and get right behind her, but she was ready as she quickly teleported away. He couldn't see her, so he just stood there, until he felt a bad feeling and rolled to the left just as an ice spike came that would have pierced his brain. However, another spike managed to cut his stomach rather deeply. Sonia came out of hiding, thinking he was dead, as he was hiding behind the ice.
'Do or die,' he thought as he jumped out of the ice, surprising Sonia. He managed to slice her knee, making her buckle, but stay relatively unfazed. She punched him away from her, causing his wound to get worse, and bleed even more.
He laid on the ground, unable to move because of all his pain. Sonia stood over him, with an evil smile on her face. "Have a nice nap," she sneered before teleporting away. All he could do was think about how stupid he was. He should have noticed she was being weird, going on a mission with him.
'Father, Lloyd, Linus…Nino,' was all he could think about before he fell into the realm of unconsciousness.
