I do not own Fire Emblem, or any of its characters, blah blah blah, you've heard it.

They're gaining on me... come on, run faster... I run as fast as my legs will allow me, tiny bullets of rain shooting down on me. I dash through the empty, cold night streets, past the puddles and buildings. If only I had my tome... they would SO be on fire right now... I turn another corner, hoping to lose them. No such luck. Oh crap. It was an alley. I'm trapped. I turn around to face the three bandits chasing me. I prepare to defend myself, to try to avoid their sharp axes. They slowly creep closer to me... Then, I notice the moonlight reflecting off the silver of a dagger... that was help up to one of their necks. It rips through their flesh, and they drop to the ground. As lightning flashes behind me, I see the dreary outline of the man who killed the bandit. Another bandit charges him, and he stabs the bandits, driving the dagger into his stomach. The final bandit charges him, and he side-steps to avoid the bandit. Then, one of the flashes of lightning hits the final bandit. I'd know that anywhere... thunder spell. The mage reveals himself, or, rather, herself, as she steps out from the street, and closer to me.
"Are you alright?" the mage asks me. I know her!
"...Nino?" I ask. "Is that you?"
"...Samira?" she asks. I nod... as if she could see me.
"What are you doing here?" Nino asks.
"Well, it's sort of a long story. What are you doing here?" I ask.
"I live here, in Pherae, with Jaffar now." she said. The Angel of Death...?? Jaffar takes a step closer. I take a small step back, startled. He's always frightened me...
"Nino, why did you leave the Black Fang?" I ask.
"Well... it's kind of hard to explain. But this isn't the place to be talking. If you'd like, you may rest in our home for tonight." Nino said. I nod.
"Thank you." I say. It'll be nice to sleep in an actual house again... considering I no longer have one.
