This story does not involve Fire Emblem 6 in any way or form.

This is my first Fanfic. The first chapters are a little rough, but there is a drastic improvement in my writing skills since I started this.

Prelude: The Grim Fate

It looked like I was somewhere in Sacae, there was no way to mistake the endless plains, the subtle wind and the glaring sun. It was so peaceful, something I ached for after everything that happened. I don't know how long I rode away from...Them, but it appeared that I could at least enjoy a moment of peace...

"Ugh...The plan was going *cough cough* so well. I...I could have saved them. Not even the arrow in my back and the gashes on my arms and legs hurt as much as... Dastards! You will all pay someday."

I wasn't sure what hurt worse, the open wounds everywhere, my broken ribs, or the bitterness of failure. One thing was for sure, I was going to get that accursed arrow out of my back. I dismounted my horse by falling face forward.

"Argh, great I am sure I broke any rib that was still intact, sigh."

My horse decided to lay next to me,

"Thank you Winston, you give me... peace one last time, I just wish you were a shorter distance to the ground."

Fighting the unbearable pain I took a deep breath... "I wont die with Their taint in my back."

It was going to be hard enough to slowly pull an arrow out of my back alone, nevertheless the blood on my hands made it even more dangerous. Last thing I wanted to do was rip out my spine and cause even more pain...if that was even possible.

"AAAAUUUGHH!" Maybe that wasn't the best idea, but at least I can die looking at the sky.

Winston sensed what I was trying to do and helped me turn over as gently as a horse could try...

With my face finally facing upward, there was nothing to do now but watch the clouds. I kept my humanity, that's the one thing they didn't take from me.

"Argh...never thought... I would die ….here...I..was..so..cl..close...bas...t..."

If you have ever played fire emblem 7 you probably already know who he is, but if not you will soon.

(Update) The first set of chapters contains a lot of game script, but the further you go into the story the more unique it is.
