Prologue: A Girl from the Plains

The planet Hylia, blessed by the Goddesses, and home to 8 mysterious continents, Archenea, the Dragon Realm, Valentia, the land locked in contradiction, Jugdral, home of the crusaders, Tellius, home of the Laguz, Liberia, the ancient continent, Magvel, home of the Sacred Stones, Chero, home of technology, and Elibe, the dark continent. These different continents were home to many different countries and civilizations, which for the most part lived in peace and prosperity.

However, on the continent of Elibe, a relatively small event would start a journey, this journey would start a small scale conflict, this conflict would be the spark that would set Hylia ablaze in the years to come.

"Are you awake?"

Those words woke the young tactician up from her unintended slumber, and woke to see a girl of what the tactician could assume to be 15-16 years of age. The tactician nodded to answer the girl's question, which prompted the girl to state "I found you unconscious on the plains. I am Lyn of the Lorca Tribe. You're safe now." The young Tactician thought to herself, "safe huh, somehow I doubt it. I wonder where Gabe went.", while Lyn continued on, "Who are you? Can you remember your name?" "Lian" the tactician replied rather nonchalantly. "Your name is Lian? What an odd sounding name…" Lyn said somewhat unintentionally resulting in a glare from Lian. "But pay me no mind. It is a good name" Lyn hastily spoke. "Don't worry about it," Lian noted "I wouldn't expect you to not find a Chon'sinian name odd." "Chon'sin?" Lyn noted "That's in Valentia, I guess that explains your obvious traveler's attire. What brings you to the Sacae Plains? Would you share your story with me?" Lian shook her head, preferring to keep to herself, when a noise came from outside the structure.

"Hm? What was that noise" Lyn stated, with notable panic in her tone. "I'll go see what's happening. Lian, wait here for me." Lian tried to object, but Lyn was out of the door before Lian could stop her. "Oh, no! Bandits! They must have come down from the Bern Mountains!" Lyn stated with obvious panic. "Scum of Hylia." Lian said "You should hide." "They must be planning on raiding the local villages." Lyn noted "I… I have to stop them!" "LYN!" Lian cried "You can't be serious!" "If that's all of them, I think I can handle them on my own." Lyn replied in a surprisingly calm fashion. Lian, realizing she couldn't convince Lyn otherwise, decided to help her. "If you're fighting these dastards, so am I" Lian claimed.

"What? You want to help? Well, can you use a weapon?" Lyn asked hastily. Lian replied "My weapon of choice isn't with me right now, but I'm a strategist by trade. I can at least advise you in this battle." Very well." Lyn decided "We'll go together!"

Meanwhile, the leader of the duo of brigands was issuing orders to his lackey. "Alright worm, tear these abandoned huts down! Surely there's stuff here we can sell for something." "Yes sir, Batta the Beast"

Lyn was surprisingly fast, Lian noted. The young girl quickly outran the tactician shouting "Over here!" to make sure Lian knew where she wound up. After Lian caught up, Lyn asked for her advice. "I'll protect you Lian, so stay close to me." Lian nodded, thinking to herself if she had a gun, she would be the one doing the protecting.

"Let's close in and attack!" Lyn cried. Lian simply replied "Let's not, this position is advantageous, and the enemy is approaching us anyway. We should lure him in, and ambush him." Lyn nodded, it was a good plan, tho she would have to overcome her impatience. The bandit approached and tried to attack Lyn, but she effortless dodged his strike. Sensing an opportunity, Lyn landed 3 swift sword blows killing her brigand enemy. Lyn noted the dead man's friend was not moving towards her, so she charged on towards him, with Lian following. As Lyn approached the bandit, the bandit shouted "Who do you think you are? You think you can stand up to Batta the Beast?" The bandit struck, landing a clean hit on Lyn followed by two blows from her blade into Batta. Batta's next attack missed Lyn completely with her landing three more swings felling her foe.

"Good work, Lyn" Lian said, clearly surprised by Lyn's ability. "Thanks Lian, let's go home." Lyn said in reply.

"Good morning, Lian!"

"Are you awake yet? Lyn bellowed. "Ugh, I am now Lyn" Lian replied. "That fight yesterday must have taken a lot out of you." Lyn said. "Me, what about you, Lyn? You did all of the fighting yesterday." Lian noted. "True, but fighting bandits is a common occurrence for me" Lyn noted. While Lian wondered how terrible the conditions in Sacae must be if this was the case, Lyn continued on "Say, Lian… I want to talk to you about something." "You can ask me anything Lyn, but no guarantees that I'll answer" Lian simply replied. "Okay then" Lyn said "You have some experience in the ways of war, I can see. Would you allow me to travel with you?" Lian shook her head "My line of work is far too dangerous for one as young as you Lyn. I won't even begin to consider it unless you get permission from your parents."

"What? You…want me to get permission from my parents?" Lyn said in a way that made Lian realize she said something she shouldn't have. "My mother and father… died six months ago." Lyn revealed "My people—the Lorca—they don't… I'm the last of my tribe." "Lyn…" Lian said softly. "Bandits attacked, and… they killed so many people." Lyn continued" The tribe was scattered. My father was our chieftain, and I wanted to protect our people, but I was so young. Our people were old fashioned. They wouldn't follow a woman. No one would follow me." Lyn finished" Sniff… I'm sorry, I've been alone for so long."

"Don't be sorry" Lian comforted her new friend" You won't have to be alone anymore. I'll let you accompany me Lyn". "You'll let me travel with you!" Lyn exclaimed" Thank you. Lian, I must become stronger, so that I may avenge my father's death! Yesterday's battle taught me something. I won't become stronger by sitting here alone. Lian, tell me you'll train me." "Only if you'll teach me your way with a sword." Lian replied. "It's a deal" Lyn said" We'll be better off working together, I know it. You'll be my master strategist, and I'll be your peerless warrior! We can do it! Right?" "Yes we can, Lyn" Lian exclaimed, as she realized what she just did would likely cause friction with her partner, the man she loved, the man who sold the world.

AN: Well, this is a thing. I guess I should say what exactly this is here. This is the start of an FE series rewrite. No outrealms, just a series of events in a fantasy world with all of the FE continents as well as the one from Tear Ring Saga, the Mighty Number 9 of FE, except this one actually released.

Lian is basically Robin from Awakening, more on that when I actually get started with the Awakening adaption after I adapt FE 7, while the character Gabe is Mark, more on him next chapter. Why was Lian the one who woke up in the field, more on that next chapter. Basically a great deal of questions here will begin to be answered next chapter.
