Fire Emblem: Guardians of Light
Hi! It's been a while since I posted anything so I decided to try something new!
As of right now, this story will be divided into two parts: the prologue which will introduce a couple of OCs in the past and then the other half will loosely follow Awakening.
Enjoy :)
Prologue 1
Along the Ylissian-Plygian boarder, a teenager sat on her pegasus and watched with careful eyes as the sun began to set. The red haired knight in training let out a deep sigh: sent out on guard duty for the sixth time in a row this week, it looked as if the higher ranked knights either hated her, or was merely just abusing her skill to shirk on their own work. Both left a bad taste in her mouth. She shook her head. Time to focus and watched the border. Maybe ten kilometers behind her, a small village where the pegasus training grounds were located had just started to light up with lanterns. It was almost time to head back and report to the head knight.
Deciding it was time to head back, the girl turned her pegasus around when she paused and turned back around. What was that heading her direction from Plegian soil?! Though it was dark, she could make out two figures racing toward her direction while a dozen men carrying torches chased after them. As they got closer, she realized that the two figures were a young girl who was being pulled along by a teenage boy who clutched a killing edge in his other hand.
Without much thought, the teen grabbed her pegasus by the reins and charged toward the scene, gripping her lance tightly. As she closed in, the boy looked up and spotted her and ran faster toward her, dragging the girl along with him. This gave the knight enough space to land in between the two and the men. The men stopped in front of her.
"Halt!" She said. "You are trespassing on Ylissian soil! State your business!"
On of the men snorted. "Ooh pretty birdy, come down from the horse and let us pluck your wings!"
"We have no business with Ylisse," Another growled.
"Then why would you be here on our soil!?" The knight asked.
"A little girl like you could never understand! Now get out of our way or we'll kill you and those two behind you as well."
The teen gasped and glanced back at the boy and girl. From the light of the torches, she got a better look at the two. The boy appeared to be badly hurt; blood trickled down his arm and the side of his shirt was soaked. He had short raven colored hair and dark blue eyes. Even in his condition, he pulled the young girl behind him and held up his blade in a fighting stance. The girl wore a tan robe and clutched the boy's shirt in fear. She had aquamarine colored hair that fell to her shoulders and light blue eyes. Her face was caked in mud as if she had fallen in the mud face first.
The knight turned back to the Plegian men. "Begone! If you truly have no business here then leave."
A man growled. "You insolent little pest!"
The knight gripped her lance. "The Pegasus Knight Squad is nearby! The strongest women in all of Ylisse are not to be taken lightly. Head back to Plegia now, this is your last warning!"
"And this is your last warning, get out of our way or we will kill you!"
The knight gripped her lance and swung it to the side. "Then you leave me no choice!" Her pegasus did a flip and charged the men with newly gained momentum, sending them scattered in all directions while clipping several with her lance. The boy charged with her and sliced into one and spun around to block a sword. The knight took to the sky again to charge down at another man while the boy took advantage of the confusion she created to take out two more men.
Soon only one remained as he dropped his axe and let out a yell. "You'll pay for this!" He shouted as he turned around and ran away back to Plegia.
With the threat dealt with, the knight let out a sigh and patted her pegasus. The boy watched as the Plegian disappeared from sight and sighed. The little girl ran up from behind and gave him a crashing hug, which made him wince in pain.
"You did it!" She said excitedly.
"Yes we did Aerne," The boy gasped.
"Are you alright?" The knight asked and the boy chuckled.
"I'm fine," He said and sheathed his sword once Aerne released him. "It looks worse then it actually..." He swayed back and forth. "I'm.. Kasai... thank you for..." With that, he collapsed to the ground.
"Kasai!" Aerne gasped and knelt by him. She turned to the knight. "Help him please! He's a really nice man he can't die!"
The knight nodded and got off her pegasus.
"Cordelia!" Someone called.
The knight turned around to see her silver-haired friend landing beside her. "Sumia?" Cordelia asked.
"I was sent here to see why it had taken you so long and... what happened here?!" She asked.
Cordelia knelt by Kasai. "No time to explain, we need to get him back to the barracks now and get him medical treatment!"
Sumia nodded and took Aerne on to her pegasus as Cordelia pulled Kasai on to her's and they flew back to camp.
