So, my newest story. Also, I forgot to mention this in Arachna-Power Chapter 3, but while I was at my uncle's house, I started 3 new stories and once he emails them to me, I'll post them. So, say hello to story number 7. I've already finished Conquest, but I'm going to get Birthright once I have a chance, no spoilers for it! I'm writing this as I replay in a 2nd account so I can make sure I don't forget crucial details. My story starts at Chapter 4. Also, I assume the main character is about 17 or 18, for reference.
I guess I should introduce myself. Hi, I'm Aadyn. I'm 15, and fairly big. I weigh around 240, and come to about 6 feet. My eyes are brown, and I have very short black hair because my uncle cut it while I was with him. I'm strong, and also faster than I look. See, I think you should focus on improving your weak points first so you can balance yourself out. I'm also pretty smart. I have 2 birthmarks on my face. The first people think is a black eye, and the other is faint, but resembles a small flame.
I can be a really nice guy, but it tended not to show until recently when people stopped picking on me. I still have a temper though, and it's not pretty. Example, on the last day of school I choked one of my classmates because he tried to take some of my video games. I can be pretty creative, but I also break things a lot. I first started teaching myself to fight because I was clumsy. I that it would be a fun way to get rid of my clumsiness, and have had a passion for medieval weapons ever since. As I've said, I'm strong, so when I fight, I use speed instead, and my natural strength balances things out.
I was walking around a little pond I like, ready to play a game. I chose the stick I'd be using as my weapon, a curved one resembling a sword that came up to my waist. But when I turned around, the small pond had been replaced by a pool of pale blue light. I stepped forward and then jumped in. I know it was reckless and a bit stupid, but my heart is in command, not my head, and I felt that I should go in. Suddenly, I was surrounded by the light, moving to somewhere unknown. Wish me luck!

I followed after Ryoma, Rinkah and Kaze beside me. According to him, two of my birth sisters were in trouble. But I'm still not sure if I believe I was born in Hoshido. Still, people need help and that's what I'll do.
I looked at myself. I'm tall and have a fair amount of bulk, mostly muscle. My hair is black, long, and in wild spikes. My eyes are pinkish red. I don't have any scars, surprisingly. But while we don't look much alike, I do sorta see some resemblance between myself and Ryoma.
We arrived. At the far side of the area, behind some small mountains, I could see a red-haired girl on a pegasus, and another redhead behind her, holding a staff. But what really got my attention was the large, gray skinned things with metal masks. They were going after my sisters! We have to stop them.
I drew my blade, Ganglari, amd was about to charge towards the nearest of them when I saw a blue gate appear not far from us. Could it be where these things came from? But out came a young man a couple years younger than me. He had a blade in hand and seemed pretty confused. Was he from a Deeprealm, another world, maybe?

I looked at my new surroundings. Nearby were monsters that looked kinda familiar, and some people too. I heard a girl scream and saw one of those beasts attacking 2 girls, one younger than me, the other maybe a year older, obviously sisters. I began moving forward, though I have no idea what I could do. Maybe if I hit it with my stick it would be distracted and- Wait, what happened to my stick?
In my hands was a sword, a real one! At the spot where I'd always imagined the hilt was leather wrappings that fit my hand rather well. The hilt was, like before, on the same side as my knuckles and the blade's edge. It was a bit heavy, but well balanced, I could barely feel it. I realized a sheath had appeared on my back for the blade. Must have to do with what brought me here.
One of the creatures loomed in front of me. I gripped my weapon and hoped my training had done some good. I ducked as it tried to grab me, then swung my blade up, through its large stomach and up even further through its face and mask. It toppled, and would have flattened me if I hadn't rolled aside. Another one tried to get me too, but a blade grew from its chest, and it fell. I nodded at the owner of it, a guy with black hair not much older than me who looked creepily familiar. In fact, so were his companions. Have I seen all this somewhere before?
I thrust my blade through the eye hole of a monster coming up behind him, and we began making our way to the girls together. As we drew near, he stopped, looking at a spot near the foot of the mountain in our way. He went to said spot and suddenly the whole mountain was gone!
Wait, this was just like Fire Emblem Fates! I'll think about how impossible it is later and the odds I'm really in a padded room. I watched two of the people with him, who I now knew were Rinkah and Kaze, cut down the last Faceless.
"Gods, what were those things?" I looked at the main character. He looked the same as the design I'd used for my newest account, whom I'd named Nydaxa. I listened to Ryuma and Hinoka explain everything. Once the conversation ended, they turned their attention to me.
"Thank you for your help. I owe you. I'm Nydaxa, what's your name?" I looked at Nydaxa. I'd have to be careful. If I'm in the world of Fates, I have to avoid changing what happens, in case I ruin any chances at the mostly happy ending. Hopefully it's Conquest, so I'll know what to avoid doing.
"My name is Aadyn, and there's no need to thank me. I'm just glad these two ladies are alright. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I'm in the presence of royalty, right? Best watch what I do or say then. Don't want to get locked up." I chuckled as I finished and bowed. "Now, can any of you tell me why I'm here? Or are you all as lost as I am?"
Sakura and Hinoka seemed confused at what I meant, so Nydaxa explained. "You didn't see because of the mountains, but Aadyn here came through a portal of some kind just before we started fighting the Faceless. I guess we can pay him back for his help by helping him get on his feet until we can help him go home."
"Thanks, but don't bother yourselves with it. I get the feeling I'll found out if I'm patient. But until then, perhaps you could help me another way that will let me help you as well." They looked at me, perplexed, and I bowed slightly before holding out my sheathed sword hilt first. "See, I listen to my heart, and right now, it's saying I should stick with Nydaxa. If you're OK with it, you have my steel, oath, and friendship, until I go back home, or until my death here if I never can go back. Hopefully, that second scenario will see us both old men before it's resolved." He looked stunned at what I was doing, but then me nodded and grasped my sword's hilt.
"I'd say that's enough for now. We'd best go home. You can tell us about yourself on the way Aadyn, and we'll help explain our world to you." He began walking when I realized something.
"Hold up for a sec. If you don't mind, can we keep my being from another world a secret? I'd rather not be the center of attention." I shuddered at the thought. I've had serious stage fright most of my life, even passing out when I had to go up in front of my class occasionally.
Ryuma seemed surprised, but nodded, and we began on our way. I looked around at the battlefield, Faceless corpses beginning to vanish into black vapor. This would be one interesting adventure!
So, I'm going to do next chapter soon, but for now, I'm going to sleep. It's 2:30 in the morning after all. Please review. I hope you guys can give input to make my story even better!
