Hello Ladies and Gentlemen! If you do not know me, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Kad Dawn, and I would like to welcome you to a new fanfiction I'm introducing to you today!
I welcome to you Fire Emblem: Sparrow! Starting after the war against Plegia, the Sheppard's are back home for much needed rest. However, a mysterious man is found unconscious, and when he wakes, a mystery unfolds. Who is this man? And what did he do in the past? Basically, this is mainly introducing a new character to the already awesome Fire Emblem game Awakening. One, I'm a huge fan of the fire emblem series. Two: This was something that has been going on in my mind for a while.
This fic is still in its early stages, and is mainly something for me to do, so updates may or may not be frequent as they should. I can't say how this will end up, however, it will eventually follow the story once things get rolling for my OC.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Being the game that it is, Awakening is Shipping galore. The relationships in the game is bountiful and so much can be done. And in this fic, at least when it starts out, there are two set in stone already. Chrom and Sumia (easy to work with, let's be honest) and Lon'qu and F!Robin. And since it is a bond exclusive game, my OC will have a love interest. The only problem is I don't know who she will be. But that is for a latter chapter.
So, that being said, it is my great pleasure to introduce to you this new fic. Sit back, relax, criticize as you like, and enjoy
I give to you Fire Emblem: Sparrow
Chapter 1
The war was over. Plegia was defeated and the mad king was dethroned and killed by Chrom's blade. Peace has finally been restored. And the long trip home was filled with joy. Regna Ferox and Ylisse grew a bond during the war, and an alliance was forged between the two countries. And for Plegia, the country surrendered and hope filled the people's hearts. Hope that they can rebuild anew after Gangrel's reign. It was a sight the Sheppard's will always remember.
And even though the victory spread throughout the land, within the Sheppard's the victory was something more. It was a triumph over their greatest threat. It was the end of a major trail. And it was the stepping stone for so many bonds within the little army. The greatest bond was between Chrom and soon to be wife Sumia. Their bond was something that was in the making since the war first started. And when Emmeryn died, Sumia was the source of light for Chrom.
Now, the army was now back in Ylisstol and the time of rest began. And for Robin it was much needed. Within the Sheppard's barrack's, everyone was doing their own thing, preparing for a victory feast. Robin sat on a lounge chair comfortably, her snow white hair draped over her shoulders. Lon'qu, who was normally afraid to sit next to a woman, sat next to her, hands intertwined. While Chrom had Sumia, Robin had Lon'qu. The couple was another sense of inspiration for the army.
They were quiet, not saying a word to each other, and it was not needed for them to speak. They were happy just to be in each other's presence. As they sat, Robin watched the little dispute between Vaike and Sully on who was the strongest. An argument that was ongoing since she joined the Sheppard's. Kellam stood at the side, palm on his face as he silently watched. Robin knew that in truth, Kellam was strongest out of the three. But she wouldn't tell them that.
As they argued, Lissa, Maribelle, and Anna sat and watched as well. Anna and Lissa laughing at Maribelle's disgust with the argument. On the other side of the barrack's, Virion was teaching Gregor how to use a bow, while Gregor was teaching him how to use a sword. They both decided, with the help of Robin, to become Bow Knights. Virion saw it as a challenge, and Gregor saw it as a pass time. Still, it would be great to have more mobility. As long as they didn't fight through sand dunes anymore.
Ricken and Donnel were both watching the two. Donnel wanted to learn how to use the sword as well, stating that he wanted to be just as strong Gregor. He was promoted to be a Mercenary. It seemed to fit him nicely. Of course, it was a entirely different feel to use swords than lances. But, he saw it as a challenge none the less.
Robin smiled, closed her eyes, and leaned on Lon'qu's shoulders. He tensed a little, earning a giggle from her. He eventually relaxed, knowing that nothing bad will happen. As they sat, the doors slammed open to the main hall. Cordellia, along with Frederick, burst in. Panic was on the almost perfect Cordellia. Even Frederick, who was normally calm, had a sense of panic.
"Lissa! Robin! Your assistance is needed in the medical hall!" Frederick called out. A sense of panic went over the young grandmaster. Images of Chrom or Sumia injured flooded her mind. She shot up and hurried, Lissa at her side. They followed Frederick and Cordellia to the medical hall, and to their relief, saw Chrom and Sumia, along with Stalh, in perfect health. But that sense of relief was soon replaced with worry. On a cot, where Chrom was standing over, was a man. And he was unconscious.
Lissa hurried, staff in hand, and began healing the man. Robin walked over to Chrom and looked him over. His armor was something she had never seen before. However, she did read a few tomes about it. Dread Fighters, or Demon's in some cases. Enigmatic warriors from far distant lands with fierce power. Aside from the armor, she looked over his features. Pale skin, and dark raven hair. His hair was long, probably in a ponytail, but she couldn't tell. That was when it hit hear. His features were sharp, and his built was slim yet fit. He was Plegian. No doubt about it.
"We found him outside the city. He was unconscious and barely breathing. And he carried this," Chrom said as he pointed at two items. One was a sword the other was a tome. Wind magic and by the symbol, Robin recognized it to be an Arcwind tome. As for the sword, she couldn't tell. She would have to study it later.
"Who is he..?" she asked under her breath. Chrom barely heard her but made out what she said.
"We aren't sure. I've never seen him around the area," Chrom said.
"He could be a Plegian spy, or an assassin," Frederick stated. Chrom shot him a look.
"The war is over Frederick. Why would Plegia send a spy or an assassin after they have lost?"
"With all due respect milord, he could be a citizen that has a sense of resentment towards us. Since we did kill their previous king."
As they discussed the matter of the man, Robin looked at him. For a moment he was almost peaceful, like in a deep sleep. Then the next he started to stir. Lissa noticed it as well, and it caused her to step back a little.
"He's moving. I think he is going to wake up soon," she said. Chrom, Frederick, and everyone else in the room watched as the man slowly started to move. For Chrom, Lissa, and Frederick, the moment was similar when they found Robin. The only difference is that they were in the barracks and not in the fields.
The man slowly but surely woke from his slumber. His eyes slowly opened, revealing dark sage green eyes. He looked around the room, a confused look on his face. He slowly stood up, keeping his eyes on the people within the room. Robin noticed that his hair flowed down in his back in three separate braids.
"Where… Where am I?" he asked. His accent was something different. Like a someone who traveled across the lands, never claiming a home.
"You are in Ylisstol. Capital city of the Halidom of Ylisse," Frederick said. The man's confusion never swayed. It was a look Chrom and Lissa knew all too well. It was the same look Robin had when they first found her.
"What is your name?" Lissa asked, worry wavering in her voice. The man looked at her for a moment, then looked at himself. Over his armor and his hands. He shook his head.
"I… don't know. I can't remember…" he said. Robin could feel her heart racing.
"Is there anything you can remember? Anything at all?" This time it was Cordellia. Her voice was soft and calm. Another aspect of her that was near perfect. The man looked at her with a blank expression, and shook her head.
"No… nothing. I remember words, and how to speak. But…" his voice faded, and he started staring off. Almost as if something else in the room grabbed his attention.
"GAAH!" He screamed, clutching his head with his hands. Lissa jumped, and everyone else watched as the almost calm man was now screaming.
"STOP! STOP IT!" he yelled. By instinct Robin grabbed the man and held him close to her. She looked at Cordellia, that tactician determination on her face.
"Get Tharja in here! Now!" she ordered, and the Falcon Knight quickly took off. In the time between Cordellia searching for Tharja, and the Sorceress coming into the room, the man continued. Never letting go of his skull and screaming for something to stop. Robin wasn't sure, but she could almost make out tears forming in his eyes. Eventually Lissa went to his side and like Robin, tried to comfort him.
A few minutes later Cordellia returned with the dark haired Sorceress. A tome in her hands. She almost gasped at the sight, if her pride didn't stop her.
"Tharja! Place a sleep hex or a calming hex on him, and quickly!" Robin ordered. Without question Tharja summoned a mass of dark magic in her palm, chanting under her breath. She leaned forward, and with two fingers, pressed on the man's forehead. Within seconds, he calmed. His hands slowly fell and his breathing slowed. With a tired body, and not entirely in control, he leaned into Robin and quickly fell into a slumber.
Tharja let out a small breath, knowing that the sleep hex worked. In fact everyone let out a breath when things calmed in the room. People slowly gathered at the door and whispered about the man in Robin's arms. As for Robin, she looked at Chrom with a worried expression, and he understood completely.
Who is this man? And what in Gods name happened to him?
And that's a wrap!
So, what do you think? Yay, nay? And be honest in the reviews guys. If it sucks, then tell me. If it is good, awesome, tell me that too. And that is with all chapters.
For this fic, it was something that has been in my head for some time. I fell in love with the Dread Fighter when that DLC came out, and wanted to bring out more of it. Hence, this new character. Just note that this is mainly for entertainment purpose for myself and hopefully for you. I'm not shooting for an epic drama, at least not yet.
The second chapter will be up along with this one, and will give a little more insight on who he is. Like I said before, I do not know who I'm going to pair him with. I have some character in mind, just can't pick which one. I'll explain more next chapter.
NOTE: For those who are waiting for my Mass Effect: Spade to be updated, I apologize for the delay. I've been busy, and my mind hasn't been all that clear to add a decent chapter for that fic. I will update it, and hopefully soon. Just please be patient with me.
Either than that, thanks for reading!
