Disclaimer: I do not own Fire Emblem.
Note: The first version was crap. Yes, I know. So here's the revised version. I improved it and added some details as well. I'm only writing this story because I feel like writing one and sharing it. Anyway, enjoy!

Somewhere, in a grassy field of nowhere, the space suuddenly 'liquified' and later, a white hole appeared from it. Then, the white hole suddenly spat out a young man with a double cross scar on his left side of his face and wears a dark blue polo shirt and a black pants. His name is Grey and he awakes after he came out from the blue. As he regain his senses, he looked around and analyzed his situation...
"..." as Grey wears a face full of confusion which is later replaced with scorn.
Grey looked around and saw nothing but grass. In other words, he is stranded in a middle of nowhere. All was tranquil and peaceful. The birds are chirping, the sun is up, the skies are clear but a person named Grey is lost. And all of the sudden...
"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!" Grey screamed loud enough that one can mistake him as a wild animal.
Okay, calm down. It can't be that bad right. Nathan screwed up big time. I'm going to kick his ass when I get myself out of this shitty predicament. I also have to find them since they' also got caught in line by that shitty asshole's magick. I really hate this...
"Good day, friend. We wish to beg alms from you." a rough voice was heard.
Grey turned around and saw at least seven men. All of them bear weapons and leered at him. They all have the greedy look on their faces and their manners are at its worst. Bandits...
"Alms for the poor." one of them said while trying to come close.
Grey didn't speak. He made a stance that the bandits can tell that he will fight them. They, thanks to their stupidity, laughed at the man who dares to fight them without any weapons...
"He ain't givin' us any. Le's beat the horse turd out of him!"
"Hehehehehehehe!"
Oh joy... Bandits... Haven't I had my fill with them back home? Seriously, wherever I go, there's always bandits and highwaymen to deal with. Tsk... And I don't even have my weapon. Not that THAT's a problem for me. I can take these undisciplined fools on with my fists...
The bandits surround Grey with thoughts of him being a rich and lone traveler. Such notion was something Grey liked to take advantage off and told them that he was carrying a lot of treasure and gold, thinking that a lone traveler is always a weak traveler, and adding also their stupid notion about numbers equals strength. Sure enough, they all attacked Grey, screaming and raising their weapons above their heads, all according to Grey's plan...
"Heh." Grey scoffed as they charged towards him.
I'm going all out against them. Here's contestant number one, all talk and no talent, disarmed and knocked out. Contestant number two attacked me from behind? BAM! Elbow on his crotch and kick on his ugly mug. His bulging muscles were nothing compared to my well-placed pressure shots. Three, four and five decided to attack at once, sadly, I surprised them with magick, Dark Magick. They were surprised when they saw this lone traveler summon three copies of myself and started to handing their over their asses. The last bandits ran off but I will not let him get away and threw a Dark Magick Missile on their ugly faces. They are now knocked cold and out...
As soon as the bandits that attacked Grey was either unconscious or too afraid to stand as he might return to slug them once more, Grey decided to walk away from the bandits. It was an uneventful long walk. There were neither people nor civilization to be found within the vicinity, and the people that he found a while ago were bandits and they do not count as civilized people. In fact, he is lost in an unknown land. He has to find someone to make contact or else he is…
"Uhhhnnn..." a voice from behind spoke.
Thud
Grey turned around, "Huh? Whoa!".
Grey saw a blond man in a long green robes and a horse who is now browsing the grass. He went to his side to see if he is fine. The man in question is having a slight fever. He checked the man's horse if he have any medicine with him, the problem though is that the man has none. In other words, an unprepared traveler. He decided to take the person to a nearby town. But the problem is that he is a complete stranger in the land…
Great, not only that I am lost, I also have a stranger to take care off. Some luck that I have right now. Atreax Summit be damned, that Nathan will lose his ass for this...
His luck changed when a green haired girl who was passing by saw him...
"Excuse me, miss!" Grey called.
"Hmm?" responded the girl, "Oh my!" she saw Grey, with an unconscious person next to him.
He explained the situation to her and said that the man needs an assistance. The girl gladly helped the boy and Grey...

Later...
After they've treated the boy who was having a slight fever (gone by now) Grey and the girl talked about how he came to the lands which the girl called as Sacae. Grey said nothing about his predicament but he was honest about the fact that he is lost in a land that he did not know…
"... I will need your maps about this land. Oh and I'll also need any written records about it as well." Grey requested to the Sacaean girl who is quite confused about his request.
"It may not do to a man who needs an extensive knowledge about our lands but..." the Sacaean searches her belongings for any map or records, "Ah! Here it is!" she said in a relieved tone as she holds a very old yet useable map. "I possess no written records about this land but this will do for now." giving it to Grey.
Grey examined the map the was given to him. Though he is still confused about the lands and decided to take no chances in venturing out alone. Suddenly, the man who was asleep in the lady's cot for some time have awakened...
"Urrrr..." the man said groggily and disoriented, "... Elimine, where am I?"
The girl and Grey looked at bed and saw the boy, coming to his senses…
"I see that you are awake." said the girl.
The man was suddenly alarmed, his jaw hanged for a while when he saw Grey and the Sacaean lady.
"No need to panic." the Sacaean reassured the man, "You were sick for quite a while, had this man..." referring to Grey, "Not found you, your fever might turn into a flu."
"I... I..." the man tries to find his words, only to get cut-off by Grey.
"Stop acting like as if a cat got your tongue." Grey said with an annoying tone, "Don't you know that traveling without proper preparations can be quite dangerous? You could have been killed by some jack-off while you are at your helpless state for all we know."
The two are surprised when Grey suddenly scolded the boy he have found…
"An old man of mine once told me this." imitating a voice of some old guy, "A soldier never goes out and do war without any proper equipment and gear." returning his voice to normal, "That applies to every profession mind you. And yet you still got up, went into some field trip, forgot the fact that you are running low on supplies, and later on, lie unconscious in an open field of the middle of nowhere and troubling someone due to your shortcomings."
The boy, with his head hanged down, realized that Grey was right about him. He was reckless about going on a journey without any proper preparations and yet he still went through it. The girl, decided to comfort the boy who is now shamed after Grey scolded him…
"At least we found you." the Sacaean said, "Had we not found you, you would have been in more trouble... Besides, I do not mind having guests." she also smiled sweetly.
"I apologize for bothering you two." the man said with sadness and shame, "Please forgive me...?"
"Lyn." Lyn said with a comforting tone, "And please do not be troubled about the accommodations,-?" she asked for the man's name.
"Elric." Elric said as his face took a hint of red, "And thank you for taking me in in your humble abode, Dame Lyn."
"OH! I-i-i-i-it was nothing!" Lyn stammered (Grey saw her face taking a hint of red as well), "And please don't be formal, Elric... Lyn is already fine by me!"
"Oh. I'm sorry." Elric said, "You deserved it yet you wish to be called without any titles huh? I'll keep that in mind, Lyn." he looked at Grey with mild annoyance on his face, "And your name is?"
Grey answered, "Grey. Sorry about the tongue lashing I just gave a while ago, El…"
Elric was clearly annoyed, "Please call me Elric. I really hate it when people call me with nicknames."
"Whoops~!" Grey said which annoyed Elric.
The three of them talked about what they were doing and why are they (on Grey and Elric's part) travelling. Their conversations was consuming their time but the three of them are too immersed to their conversation and they were having fun. Lyn was very happy about her new company. Elric and Grey bickered a lot about each other that Lyn thought that the two knows each other for a long time…
"Know him?" Grey was looking at Elric then looked back to Lyn and scoffed, "Ha. As if."
"If we both knew each other," as Elric looked at Grey with scorn, "every person that I know will think of him as my mother. And I will be running for sainthood just by putting up with him."
"Ha ha ha ha! Now that you put it that way..." Lyn laughed while thinking and holding her sides "Grey would really make a good mother if he was born as a woman."
"It's a shame that I was born as a man." Grey responded, "I would love to scold my idiot son if he keeps on endangering themselves by going out alone without any proper preparations and such."
Elric retaliated, "Luck must be on my side when you were born as a man, Grey. And so is the Saint's mercy since she may have not approved of you being born as a woman." Lyn laughed so hard that she nearly lost her balance.
"Oh my. Please calm down. I feel like my insides will come out of me just by laughing." she said as she continues to laugh.
Suddenly, a loud thunk was heard. Followed by footsteps and audible murmurs. They may not hear what they say but they can understand some of their words. Cussing about each other and getting loot and women…
"Bandits…" as Lyn peeked out, she turned to Grey and Elric and said, "Please stay here. Bandits are out there."
"Sorry. But I will not." Grey ignored Lyn's instructions.
"Huh?" Lyn was bewildered about the change of tone.
"You helped us, Lyn." Elric also ignored Lyn's instructions as well, "Now, it's our turn to help you."
Lyn responded with doubt, "But…"
Grey disspelled Lyn's doubts, "Relax. We want to help you, Lyn."
"And free help should always be welcomed you know." Elric added.
"I…" Lyn wishes to answer back but her guests are looking at her with a hard-eyed determination, she gave up, "Fine…"
Elric, clasping his two hands and smiling, said, "Then it's settled then. We will help our gracious host!"
Lyn grabbed her sword (Grey suddenly remembered a katana when he saw Lyn's sword) and went outside. Grey and Elric followed her...
-0-
Outside...
They saw a group of 10 bandits. They are heading north, something that Lyn is not glad about. Lyn told the two that if they keep on going in that direction, they will raise havoc and chaos in every villages and tribes they pass through. And to make matters worse, the said villages and tribes that the bandits will pass by are having a holiday where one must not hold any weapons for a week to observe the festivities. To be exact, the bandits will be having an easy time looting and pillaging. She asked Grey and Elric if they could use any weapons...
"I can use any weapon that I can get my hands on. Oh and cast spells." Grey replied
"I'm a tactician. I can use knives, daggers, and short swords but..." Elric sadly replied, "...fighting is not my forte."
"I see." Lyn said.
Lyn thought long about the use of a tactician in a battlefield. Since she was raised without any peers who study the art of war, Lyn was having doubts about Elric's abilities and decided to put the tactician to the test...
"Would you please give us an insight about our opponents, Elric?" Lyn asked as she pointed at the bandits who are now taking a break below them.
Elric looked at the bandit camp with the use of his spyglass (Grey deemed Elric's spyglass as useless and battered beyond repair, Elric thought about buying a new one after this), he checked them out from afar and instantly made a summary about their strengths and weaknesses...
"Hmmmm... Most of them are definitely right handed." Elric summarized, "They are adepts at using axes due to their build but they cannot compare to regular ax fighters and pirates who are will skilled. I'll bet 20 gold that these fools can do attacks that are used in cutting wood."
"Oh my..." Lyn was surprised on Elric's summary on his opponents.
"Their leader might have little grasp about ax proficiency. Heck, he's ambidextrous." Elric said.
"Ambi-what?" Lyn asked in confusion.
"It means the ability to do any form of precise work using both arms." Elric replied to the confused Sacaean, "I'll tell you more about it later."
Elric's spyglass suddenly shattered when he tried to collapse the thing. Elric threw it away and made the lost warrior and the Sacaean to huddle...
"Here's my plan. Since most of them are right handed, their weaknesses will be their left side and their right arm." Elric said, "The enemies we have in question are strong due to their numbers. An unprepared soldier might crumble against them."
"But!" the tactician added, "They are weak against properly prepared people. Like us!"
"I thought...?" Lyn asked Elric but Grey cut her off.
"We did analyze their strength, number, and weaknesses, Lyn." Grey said, "And please do not try to challenge them in a fair fight. Bandits are common examples of... combat pragmatism. Most of them will not hesitate to kill for revenge and in few gold coins." as Grey added.
"Grey's correct, Lyn." Elric said to the surprised Sacaean, "I tried to challenge a bandit in a duel... I won but he did cheated in the fight." as Elric recalled
"What?" Lyn said with outrage.
"Tried to back stab me." Elric added, "Good thing though is that the asshole missed his mark. I broke spines and rendered him a paralytic."
"Ouch. You could have just killed him, Elric." Grey said, "Being an outlaw and at the same time, a paralytic is a fate worse than death, my friend."
"Anyway, Grey." Elric said as Grey looked at him with a serious eye, "What sort of magick do you use?"
"Elemental and Dark Magick." Grey answered.
Elric wore a face of scorn. Elric have some grudges with Dark Magick users since many of them either end up being spawns of the most vilest of Elder (the continent's Patrons of the Dark or Natural Magic as they call it) or in extreme cases, empty and pathetic shells, and he tackled with Dark Magick users before, and those he encountered were quite unfriendly and evil. Elric studied the history of Elder and decided not to take any chances on Grey and asked...
"Grey, which Patron do you serve?" Elric asked the question with the sound of fear and hesitation.
"I serve no Patron, friend." Grey clearly said, "Light will never exist without darkness. Darkness will be nonexistent if light doesn't exist. That is the way of Dark Magick that I've devoted my life's studies." Grey included.
Lyn was stunned about Grey, who serves no Patron but still uses Dark Magick at his whim. Grey made a proof by creating a basic magick missile with the use of his Dark powers (the missile turned black) without making any chants or any catalysts (tomes and stave as Elric told Grey). And these types of abilities are quite rare and well-sought in Elibe...
"I... I see..." as Elric watched Grey play with the Dark ball like as if it was an ordinary toy. He saw Lyn's amazed expression to Grey's feat.
That person is a rare one alright. If my memory serves me right, mages of such caliber like himself are sought for by Etrutia, Bern, and Lycia.
"I'll just do what I can with the powers that I have right now." Grey said, the two snapped back to attention when Grey spoke to them, "And shouldn't we start the attack? They will move out any minute by now."
The two saw the bandits readying themselves to move once more. Elric have no choice but to trust Grey's magick and Lyn's swordsmanship. Elric ordered an attack...
-0-
"Boss!" one bandit called, "We got a problem here!"
"What?" the bandit leader asked.
"We- AAAAAAAAGHK!" the bandit was suddenly hit by a swirling mass of Dark Magick and became nothing.
-0-
"A little hat trick from me, to you!" as Grey threw more Dark Magick missiles in random that the bandits lost their formation.
"HYAAAAAH!" Lyn beheaded the bandit that tried to attack Elric, "You should have stayed in the tent, Elric!" as she cuts down one bandit's right arm.
"No!" Elric replied, "If I did not came along with you, then you would have been dead by now, that last bandit nearly backstabbed you had I not warned you!"
"But..."
"But nothing. I do not wish do be in debt. I wish to repay your hospitality by helping you battle this pathetic rabble. I- LYN! LEFT SIDE!"
Lyn instantly turned to her left and attacked. The bandit who was about to attack Lyn was now in two pieces. Grey whistled on Lyn's sword arm strength...
"Nice arm you got there." Grey grinned as he hit a bandit with a Dark Missile.
"Thanks..." Lyn said to Elric.
"You're welcome. Now, we only have one enemy left."
A bandit leader stands on the opposite side of the three. He's holding two axes at both hands and was angry. He was indignant about three random travelers suddenly came out of nowhere and defeated his crew without any difficulties...
"How dare you!" the lone man indignantly exclaimed, "Don't you know who I am?"
"A man who doesn't know that he is a corpse, correct?" Grey insulted the man.
"I'm Batta!" Batta said while ignoring Grey's insult, "And people call me 'the Beast'!" he added as he holds on to his axes tightly, "I'll send you three to hell by yours truly!"
"Grey, please insult the man." Elric whispered to Grey.
"What are you trying to do-" Grey asked but suddenly dawned to him on what Elric wants him to do. He decided to look at Batta while giggling at him. Apparently, the first part of injuring Batta, the so-called Beast's pride actually worked and caught the man's attention.
"What's it to you, whelp?" Batta asked Grey with red ears.
"Now that you mentioned it, I've heard of the name Batta the Beast~" Grey said childishly.
"Good for you, boy! I'll be sure to bury ya so that vultures won't feast on your corpse!"
"Aren't you that person who lead a band of pathetic and sick children who can be taken down by their mothers and old women." Grey began.
Lyn lost her words when Grey insulted Batta. She also saw the man turning red with rage. Elric told Lyn to back away from Grey as he continued to taunt the bandit...
"Those are some nice toys you got there, Batta... the Babe!"
"DAMN YOU!"
Batta charged at Grey with axes. Grey however dodged and hurled taunts and insults on Batta like as if he were throwing stones...
"You missed, Babe!" Grey tormented Batta.
"STAND STILL AND DIE!" as Batta missed once more.
"Ha ha ha ha! What kind of a stupid attack was that?" Grey danced a little, "Even a toddler can do better with a fake ax!"
Batta continued to attack Grey. Grey continued to dodge and elude Batta's attack and insulted the man's pride. Lyn asked Elric why is Grey doing such things to the man...
"Bandits tend to have little self control and they tend to fix their problems with strength." Elric answered.
"Is that even going to work?" Lyn asked.
"If one is too worked up on something, they tend to tire themselves in both physical and mental aspects much faster." Elric replied once more, "It looks like Grey's quite good at dodging him.
Batta is worn out after his failed attempts to strike down Grey. Grey stopped insulting the man and gave a sign that Batta is tired…
"Lyn." Elric ordered, "Finish him."
Lyn complied and went to the exhausted Batta. Batta tried to attack Lyn but due to his condition, he missed Lyn. Lyn ended the man's life by stabbing him and beheading the man with one clean stroke...
"I... I am... Ba... Tta..." Batta's last words before he lost his head.
The trio looked at the man's head. It was filled with fear and regret. Elric made a small prayer of forgiveness and peace...
"Elimine forgive them..."
Lyn however, heard Elric's prayer. She was outraged about the fact that the tactician is making a prayer to the dead bandits...
"They do not deserve any prayers, Elric." Lyn bitterly said.
"I don't think so." Elric solemnly replied, "They are humans before they are bandits. They deserve at least a proper send-off."
"No. They don't deserve it!" as Lyn rebutted Elric, "They murder, they rape, they destroy, they do atrocious things! They are nothing but monsters who wears a human skin!" added with hate and anger.
"Don't let your prejudice win over you, Lyn!" Elric interjected, "That may be true but do not return the evil with evil. It will never solve anything other than creating more evil."
"But..." Lyn tried to answer back.
"No." Elric stopped Lyn, "We have corpses to bury or cremate. Being eaten by vultures is not something they wished to end up."
"Elric's correct Lyn." Grey spoke, "Besides, once you embark in a journey for vengeance and hatred, you will be digging two graves, one for your body and the other is for your soul."
"I..." Lyn tried to answer but Grey and Elric are too busy digging graves with the shovels they've found at Lyn's dwellings, "Fine... Let me help you two..."
-0-
The next day. Before the two wake up, Grey was outside, doing an exercise far from the tent since he was accustomed to do so from his home and he liked some privacy as well. Grey recounted what happened yesterday...
Bandits... Strange customs... No magick innovations and stuff... This place might be nearby home yet can be far away... Hmmm... I hope that shit for brains of a Chrono Magistrate pinpoint our location...
Grey was about to return back to Lyn's until a warp hole opened and spat out something before disappearing for good. Grey decided to investigate...
-0-
"What the? These are my stuff from the guild!" Grey said with surprise.
The objects that Grey found are the following: one sealed sword wrapped in a strange cloth, one back pack with a collapsible bike on its side and inside it are jewels and gold ingots (Grey smiled on the small trove he got since he will not have financial problems), his first aid kit, his clothes (Grey has to admit, he will not spend his money that he have and what he might earn on buying clothes), emergency rations, a compact tent, books, and writing materials, and a letter with a rabbit holding an hourglass as a seal...
"Nathan..." as Grey opened the letter.
Grey, I'm so sorry for doing this but for now, you will have to wait for me to pinpoint you and the others' location via Exodia. If my calculations are correct, these object that I've sent will be needed in your stay and must have fallen nearby your location. Please forgive me.
Signed, Nathaniel Kronos.
P.S. I'll treat you with whatever you want once you get back.
Grey was quite relieved that Nathan sent some materials for him to use. Problem however is that Grey will still be kicking his ass once he get back. He then decided to gather his possessions and get back to Lyn's tent...
-0-
"I was so worried about you!" Lyn scolded Grey, "We thought you've went out without us!"
"I'm so sorry, Lyn. I need my morning exercise or else my body won't be fit." Grey explained.
"At least you could have told us about! What if you were suddenly attacked by marauders and we aren't there to help?" Lyn angrily commented.
"I'm really sorry okay? I won't be doing it again." Grey apologetically said as Lyn looked at him like as if she was a mother who scolds her child for being late.
"Lyn. Look on the bright side." Elric said, "At least he's back here with us!"
"True... But please don't do it again, Grey."
The three decided to have breakfast (rabbit stew and Sacaean tea), while eating, Lyn asked about Grey and Elric's next destination...
"I'm planning to go to Etrutia, Lyn." Elric answered Lyn's query then drinks tea.
"I see..." Lyn said with sadness, "How about you, Grey?"
Grey gulped the stew after he ate the meat and answered Lyn...
"I'm not familiar with this continent. So I guess I will be joining Elric." Grey said.
Elric suddenly jerked to attention as soon as he heard Grey, deciding to travel with him...
"Hey! What made you decide on that, huh?" Elric asked, "I am not going to there on some excursion you know!"
"Well... I don't like getting lost so I've decided to join you, El." Grey replied to the furious tactician.
"Don't call me by the name 'El'!" Elric angrily replied.
"Well someone has to watch over you, El."
"I am not a child!"
"I see..." to Elric and Grey's surprise as Lyn suddenly spoke.
Grey and Elric saw Lyn, looking at her food bowl with sadness and loneliness. The two of them decided to cheer her up but before they could even start, Lyn suddenly looked at the two with determination in her eyes...
"I've been thinking about this since last night..." Lyn said to the two.
The two made a deduction on Lyn's want. Though they have to confirm it, which Lyn gladly done so...
"I would like to join in your journey, Elric!"
Grey and Elric, looked at Lyn with surprise written on their face...
"What?" Grey and Elric said in unison.
"I said I wish to travel with you two!" Lyn repeated, "I wish to make myself more stronger! And sitting here will not help me become one. I... I... I wish to travel with you!"
"Wait..." Elric said, "What if someone will worry about you? You need your parent's consent first and foremost, Lyn!"
"I agree!" Grey added, "They might get worried that you disappeared when they get back!"
Lyn suddenly got depressed. It seems that the tactician and the foreigner have opened a deep wound that they should not have opened...
"Three months ago... A group of bandits called the Talliver Bandits came upon our tribe, Lorca. They first poisoned the lake that we are taking our water from... While we tend on our sick, they came like rabid dogs on meat... *sob*... They... They..."
Lyn paused for a few seconds and continued her tragic story...
"They killed the people who tried to defend the tribe... They raped every woman they came across with and killed them afterwards... They hanged the sick and the young ones like as if they were clothes... They also killed... my parents..."
"Lyn... Say no more..." Elric said while holding back his tears.
"I can't believe that one is capable of such..." Grey said, gripping his right hand tight enough to draw blood.
"After that day... There are at least twelve of us... My father, who was a chieftain of Lorca, told me to lead the Lorca before he was... was... killed... But the remaining Lorcans decided not to follow me under the old prejudice of me being a woman..."
"Lyn... I'm so sorry for asking you..." Elric said apologetically, "I'd never thought that you are carrying something heavy."
"No Elric... It's alright..." Lyn said, "No more tears... I have to be strong... I must be strong..."
"... Lyn..." Grey said to Lyn.
"Yes?" as Lyn dried her tears from her face.
"Are you sure about this?" Grey asked Lyn, "Traveling is something that should not be taken lightly. You have to be both physical, mentally, economically, and emotionally prepared about this. Being a vagrant with no permanent place to stay is quite hard you know." as Grey told Lyn with a serious face.
"We will be going through challenges that will test our resolve to continue." Elric added, "We will be fighting men, women, elements, and temptations as we continue on the road. Your very fiber of being will be strained. Are you sure about this?"
Lyn gathered her thoughts on Grey and Elric's statements. She then answered the two directly...
"I am prepared, Grey." Lyn answered with determination, "Any challenge we will come across will not be an obstacle if we three are together."
The two men looked nodded and approved of Lyn's request and her determination to go through it. Lyn rejoiced and hugged the two tightly...
"Lyn... Please let go..." Grey said as he have the feeling of light headedness.
"Can't... Breathe..." Elric said as he takes a shade of blue.
"Oh! I'm so sorry about doing that!" as Lyn relinquished the two who are now gasping for air, "As long as you two are my master tactician and comrades-in-arm, we are peerless and an unstoppable force!"
Elric, now recovering, told Lyn to pack her tent and belongings. Lyn began at the moment Elric told her to do so. They worked faster as soon as Elric helped out. Grey disposed of the trash Lyn requested to be removed so that her belongings will be much more lighter. As soon as the preparations are done, they embarked on a journey that has no destination... For now...

What inspired me to make this was 'the Fourth Tale' by Enilas. Too bad there's no news about the sequel. This is my first fanfic by the way. And for the last time, I DO NOT OWN FIRE EMBLEM!

Character Level:
Lyn - Swordswoman LV.05
000
Original Character Introduction:
Grey - Sorceror LV.08 : A young soldier who is transported by accident in the continent of Elibe. He can be quite strange and tends to be a bit childish but he means well.
Elric - Tactician LV.10: An enigmatic tactician from Bern. He can be rational and cold at some point yet most of the time, kind and caring to his friends and comrades.
000
Job Introduction*:
Sorcerer - a warrior who can also use any weapon and magick that it can muster and can fuse both to create a more powerful weapon. The problem however is that most weapons that are fused with magick will strain the weapon and after the magick dissipates from the weapon, the weapon breaks instantly. They are also skilled at unarmed combat and disarming but those abilities are put to use once the Sorcerer exhausted all of his weapons and magick.
Tactician - battlefield officers who use knowledge and resource at the maximum to win a fight. They cannot attack but they can defend themselves with swords as a last resort. They also generate an aura that increases the effectivity of his/her charge and can also cheer for its men or taunt his opponents to make them less effective.
Swordswoman - combat specialist whose abilities and strength lies on her utilization of her sword in hand. They wield their sword like as if the sword is an extension of their body. They almost lack armor to give them the agility and speed they need to fight. They also have a sharp senses and knows where and when to strike and parry if the opportunity is shown. Their only downside however is that until they are promoted, other than swords, they are quite incompetent with any other weapon.
*I find the Lord as a VERY boring job name. And I'm planning to make some few changes to other jobs. Elric will be helping out in the front lines since he is a battlefield tactician and some of the enemy armies will also have tacticians. And Sorcerers will be showing up as often as possible (during the Black Fang arc and if possible, the Elibean war arc) in this Fire Emblem AU fan fic to prevent Grey from becoming an imbalanced OC.
**Once more, forgive me for having an unreadable story. To make up for it, I made it better and stuff. Suggestions and comments are welcome.
