Prologue: The Innocent Gear
In the outer gardens of Illyria Castle is a young woman sitting on the edge of a fountain. Her long blue hair flows majestically while the yellow ribbons hold it up on either side in a fashion that's rather elegant.
Her outfit is an odd mix of both conservative and provocative, but dosen't seem to take focus off the main parts of her body which are her wings, one black and one white, that seem to move tranquilly and her long, black, salamander-like tail with yellow ribbon tied at the end.
Her crimson eyes scan the pages of the book in her hands while a pleasant smile decorates her beautifully adorable face.
Just then, a bluish-white glow appears in front of the young woman. Catching her attention, she looks at it curiosily at first, but then becomes slightly afraid of the possibility.
"Do not be afraid, child." says the glow in a feminine voice.
Though wanting to answer, the woman remains silent with her mouth slightly ajar.
After a while, the glow turns into a beautiful woman with long, geenish hair while wearing a long dress that reveals a sizeable portion of her chest and a circlet going around her head. However, the most notable feature about the woman is her long, pointed ears.
"Who are you?" asks the young woman. "Are you a Gear?"
"No." says the mysterious woman with a calm voice. "I am the Divine Dragon, Naga. I take it you are Dizzy, correct?"
Shocked at how Naga knew her name, Dizzy just merely nods.
"In that case, my timing is perfect." says Naga. "Dizzy, I have need of you in my world."
"Why me?" asks Dizzy. "Why not Ky or Sol? Or even my brother, Izzy?"
"Those are powerful men." says Naga. "But I've seen what you're capable of, and I have more need of the power that you have. You are called the Child of Light and Darkness, right?"
"That's the title That Man referred to me by, yes." says Dizzy.
"And he says you are the hope of the world beyond his expectations, correct?" Naga asks again.
"I remember him saying that, yes." says Dizzy.
"Then, you are needed." says Naga. "I believe you may be the key to defeating the great evil I have sensed that will occur in my world very soon. Will you help me?"
"You want me to defeat a great evil?" asks Dizzy in slight dismay. "As in 'fight'?"
"Indeed." says Naga.
"But... I don't like fighting." says Dizzy. "I hate violence to no end."
"That may be the case, young one." says Naga. "But sometimes, in order to prevent violence, you must destroy the ones that enjoy causing it."
"Sounds like contradicting." says Dizzy. "In any case, I can't go to another world without letting my family know. If Ky finds out I've left, I don't know if he could handle it. And I definitely know my brother and son would really be worried for me to the point no one would last against their individual wraths."
"I understand." says Naga. "But we haven't much time. Already, the evil is taking root and it won't be long before it consumes my world. This evil... the defenders of my world won't be enough to deal with it. Someone with power like yours will be instrumental in stopping such a catastrophe."
"I don't know..." says Dizzy.
"Dizzy, please." says Naga. "I beseech you. Your power is needed right now. I wish I had another option, but right now, you are my only hope."
"Well, can I at least tell Ky where I'm going?" asks Dizzy.
"I wish you could." says Naga. "But as I said, time is of the essence. I shall create for you a portal to my world. I hope that you will be transported close enough to be of aid, but even I can't be sure. My power is, at times, unpredictable."
"Doesn't sound comforting, but if you need my help that bad, I'll see what I can do." says Dizzy with a sigh.
"Thank you, Dizzy." says Naga. "At any rate, let me create the portal. The rest will be up to you."
After that, Naga disappears and a blue portal opens up a few feet in front of Dizzy, who just sighs as she lays down her book.
"Ky. Izzy. Sin. I'm so sorry." says Dizzy. "I hope this won't be the last time I see any of you."
After that, Dizzy slowly stands up and walks slowly towards the blue portal.
Suddenly, everything slowly flashes to white.
In a remote field of grass, trees, flowers and mountains, Dizzy is lying on the ground unconcious. Eventually, she opens her eyes and sits up to find herself in a strange world.
"Where am I?" asks Dizzy. "Is this... Naga's world? Naga? Hey, Naga. Are you there?"
Dizzy then fully erects herself onto her feet, still looking around her, but not seeing Naga anywhere in sight.
She then looks to her wings as she says, "Necro. Undine. We... may have a situation here."
Suddenly, her wings transform, the black wing turning into a hooded creature resembling the Grim Reaper, and her white wing turning into a lovely woman with long hair and silky robe. Both of Dizzy's "wings" stretch and yawn.
"What gives, Dizzy?" asks the black wing. "I was enjoying my nap, and then..."
Suddenly, both he and the white wing are shocked when they realize they're not in Illyria anymore.
"Uh, Dizzy?" asks the white wing. "Where are we exactly?"
"Well, while both you and Necro were napping, a woman named Naga appeared before me, saying I was needed to help her in her world, and now... I'm here." says Dizzy nervously.
Necro looks at her angrily and says, "And you didn't consult us for help on this matter?"
"I'm sorry, Necro." says Dizzy. "But Naga said it was urgent."
"Yeah, just like strangers who want you to take candy from them!" says Necro. "What were you thinking?"
"Now, now, let's remain calm." says the white wing. "I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation as to what's going on here."
"Right now, I don't know what to do." says Dizzy. "I don't see Naga anywhere, and I have no idea where to go."
"You were saying, Undine?" says a perturbed Necro.
"Do not be afraid." says the voice of Naga.
"Who said that?" asks Undine.
"Naga!" says Dizzy. "Naga, where are you? I thought you were going to help me."
"I would, child." says Naga. "Unfortunately, I have interefered enough, and it should be man that determines the fate of this world, not me. I'm sorry, Dizzy, but you'll need to do this one yourself. Rest assured, you won't be alone as there are others that you may get to help you on this mission. Until then, good luck."
"Well, ain't that convenient?" says Necro.
"So... what do we do now?" asks Undine.
"I don't know." says Dizzy. "For now, let's try to find some help around here."
"Well, that would be a wise course of action." says Undine. "But, if this is another world, then there probably aren't any Gears here, and your presence might alarm others."
"As much as I hate to admit it, Undine's got a point." says Necro. "Usually, I wouldn't care about such a thing, but right now, it might be best if we lay low."
"Yeah, you're right." says Dizzy. "Still, I have no idea where to go right now. I guess until we find a sign or something, I think we just keep going forward."
"About the only thing we can do now." says Undine.
After that, both Necro and Undine go back into wing form before Dizzy continues to walk.
After a while, Dizzy enters another part of the field, until she sees what could be a person lying face up on the ground.
"Who could that be?" asks Dizzy.
Dizzy runs to the person to see it's a woman. Her long, white hair is done in a peculiar fashion while her black mantle, skirt and thigh highs, red sash, black gloves and polished armor on her chest, shoulders and legs all give her an air of dominance. Or they would if she wasn't unconcious.
Dizzy brings her ear close to the woman's chest, and begins to hear faint but steady thumping.
Breathing a sigh of relief, she says, "Good, she's alive." Thinking to herself, she asks, "I wonder if I should wake her up?"
Suddenly, a rather deep, masculine voice says, "Hey, I thought I heard someone this way!"
Turning her head to her right, Dizzy gasps and says, "Oh no, someone's coming!"
Just then, before she can fully react, a man with short, blue hair while wearing extravagant armor of white with black clothes and a white cape shows up at a distance. The man stops upon seeing Dizzy near the woman and asks, "Hey, who are you?"
Dizzy gasps again, but without answering, she quickly hovers away.
"Don't run away!" says the man.
"Chrom!" says a somewhat high-pitched feminine voice. "Is Robin here?"
Just then, a young woman with blonde hair done in a couple of pigtails while wearing a yellow dress comes up to Chrom, followed by a tall man with brown hair wearing heavy-looking blue armor. They're joined by two others, being a young woman with long, blue hair and wearing blue clothes with a light blue cape and feminine looking armor, and a boy younger than her that's wearing clothes and armor similar to what the woman with white hair was wearing, but is wearing pants instead of a skirt and his breastplate looks more masculine.
"What's the matter, brother?" asks the blonde woman.
"I saw a strange-looking woman." says Chrom.
"What did she look like?" asks the blue-haired woman.
"She... I think she had two different colored wings and a long tail." says Chrom. "She also had blue hair. That's all I saw of her."
"We can worry about her later." says the man in heavy, blue armor. "I believe we found who we're looking for."
Seeing the white-haired woman lying on the ground, Chrom says, "I think you're right, Frederick. I can't believe it's really her! Just like what Naga said!"
The five of them run up to the woman on the ground.
"Mother." says the blue-haired woman.
"It's really Mom." says the young, blue-haired boy.
Unbeknownst to them, Dizzy is listening in while watching from behind a tree.
"They also said 'Naga'." says Dizzy. "Necro. Undine. What can you make of those people?"
Transforming, her wings look at what's taking place.
"No clue, myself." says Undine.
Necro just gives a curious glare.
"How long has she been here?" asks the blonde woman.
"No clue, but she's lucky to not have been raided by bandits while unconscious a second time." says Chrom.
"Still, it seems too convenient." says Frederick.
"Maybe, but still..." says Chrom.
"Chrom, we have to do something." says the blonde woman.
"What do you propose we do?" asks Chrom.
"I-I don't know." says Lissa.
As that was going on, the white-haired woman opens her eyes, which gets everyone to take notice.
"I see you're awake now." says Chrom.
"Hey there." says the blonde woman with a giggle.
The white-haired woman just looks surprised, though in a pleasant way.
"There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, you know?" says Chrom. "Give me your hand."
As Chrom holds out his hand, the white-haired woman takes it and he lifts her up to her feet.
Looking at her calmly, Chrom says, "Welcome back. It's over now."
"Chrom? Is it you?" asks the woman. "Is it really you?"
"You want more proof?" asks Chrom.
Suddenly, Chrom kisses the woman on the lips, which surprises her, but then, she just goes with it as she closes her eyes.
After the kiss is over, Chrom says, "Need any more proof?"
"Chrom!" says the woman, who then hugs Chrom tightly.
"Welcome home, Robin." says Chrom.
"What's this all about?" asks Dizzy.
"You really expect us to know?" asks Necro.
"Whatever is going on there, they all seem happy to see that woman." says Undine.
"Yeah, like they've just been reuninted with her." says Dizzy.
Dizzy and her wings see the happy moment happening between Robin and the others.
"Still..." says Chrom. "I'd like to know where that strange woman went off to."
"Strange woman?" asks Robin.
"Yeah, there was a woman near you." says Chrom. "She had incredibly long, blue hair, two different colored wings and a long, black tail. She ran off before I could properly talk with her. She didn't seem like a brigand, but still... I wish I could get the chance to speak with her. She must have found you before we did."
"Really?" asks Robin.
Hearing this, Dizzy and her wings hide further behind the tree.
"Well, maybe we'll see her again." says the blonde woman. "In the meantime, I think we need to get Robin back home. What do you think, brother?"
"Good idea, Lissa." says Chrom. He then looks at Robin and says, "So, you ready to go see all of our friends?"
"Yes." says Robin. "I'm more than ready."
And with that, the six of them head off in the direction Chrom and the others came from.
When she sees they're all out of sight, Dizzy comes from behind the tree and says, "So, they were all a family."
"Seems that way." says Undine.
"Still, we might need to follow them if we're to find out where we are." says Necro.
"Right." says Dizzy.
"But from a distance." says Undine. "We don't want to alarm anyone."
"I know." says Dizzy. "Let's see where they take us."
After that, Necro and Undine go back into wing form and Dizzy follows Chrom and the others at a slow enough pace while still being able to know where they are.
