Alright... I'm going to change a few things in the chapters. Add a few more words to lines, switching lines around, that kind of stuff.
(I have not played Fire Emblem Awakening, or even any of them except for the demo of Awakening. As such, I welcome any criticism on this fanfiction.)
Chapter 1
It was a fine day, around two years after Robin had sacrificed herself to kill Grima. But a year ago, she had come back.
Morgan, her son, was overjoyed to see his mother once again, along with his father Chrom and sister Lucina. He had hugged her, and all of them had enbraced.
But, a month ago, Morgan had married Nah, a half Manakete-human hyrbid.
The two lived a comfortable life, near the capital of Ylisse called Ylisstol.
Morgan had a job that had him working until late evening, so Nah always had dinner ready by then.
But, on a certain afternoon, Morgan had gotten off work early.
"Hey, Nah!" he called. She was in their small cottage, in the kitchen.
"Oh... Morgan!" she exclaimed, quickly standing up. "You're home early. Is everything alright?"
"Fine," he reassured her. "It was a sunny day, you know? So I was told to go home and relax." Morgan set his Elfire tome on a desk. "Now that I think about it... our cottage is... rather big."
Nah smirked. "It's on the small side. Both of us wanted it this way, remember?"
"I remember." Morgan set his Steel Sword down as well. "Used a lot of magic today..."
"Stay here!" ordered Nah. "I'll make dinner." She began to search for food.
"Alright." Morgan smiled as his wife hurried to prepare. "No need to rush."
"But you must be starving!" protested Nah, looking within drawers. "Hm..."
"I'll go hunt for supper," responded Morgan to Nah's slightly panicked reaction. "Be back soon." He equipped himself with his sword and Elfire tome again. "Wait for me."
"Be careful, then." Morgan heard Nah's words as he stepped out of the cottage.
"I will," he whispered. Morgan dashed to a nearby forest. "Maybe I should've brought the Elthunder tome Mother got me recently..." Morgan saw a shadowy figure, and raised his Elfire tome for security.
"Hm?" The cloaked figure turned and looked at Morgan. "Morgan!" The hood was removed.
"Mother!" breathed out Morgan, lowering his hand and tome. "Scared me."
Robin chuckled. "Sorry. Hunting for dinner?" At her son's nod, she smiled. "Let's hunt together."
"Sure, mother!" grinned Morgan. He drew his sword. "Alright..." Morgan's instincts kicked in.
"Morgan. Over there..." Morgan saw where Robin was looking at, and saw an elk.
"All I have is a tome for Elfire," murmured Morgan, wondered what Robin was thinking.
"All you need to do is distract it," whispered Robin, her eyes gleaming as she revealed her strategy. "Then I'll get in and finish it off. Ready?" She drew her
"Right." Morgan nodded, and snuck up closer to the creature. "Alright... Elfire!"
Startled by the sudden appearance of fire, the elk turned to run, but got struck by Robin's Levin Sword. "Morgan!" she exclaimed as the elk turned, wildly running at him.
"I know!" Morgan brought out his Steel Sword, and slayed the elk. "Phew."
"Good." Robin inspected the dead animal. "Say... maybe you two should come to Ylisstol with me."
"The capital?" Morgan saw Robin's nod. "So that we can eat this?"
"Yes." Morgan's mother withdrew her Levin Sword. "Where's Nah? If she comes, then..."
"Right here!" Nah seemed quite cheerful. "Oh... uh, Miss Queen..." She seemed at a loss of words.
Robin smiled. "No need to be so formal. Inform me by my name, Robin." Robin smiled at Nah.
"Ha ha... wait, Nah. Mother invited us to the castle for dinner," spoke Morgan. "We could eat this elk together with the others. What do you say?"
Nah smiled. "Sounds good." She used her Dragonstone, and turned into her dragon form once again.
"Alright." Morgan hopped on Nah, and so did Robin as Nah picked up the elk in her mouth.
Flapping her powerful wings, Nah flew off towards the castle, the elk in her mouth.
Thus concludes Chapter 1! Thanks for reading.
