Naga Talking
Grima Talking
When you're suddenly dropped into one of your favorite games, it should be a blessing, no? After all you get to be the hero of the whole story and actually have it to be real! Such, a thing has to be a lifetime experience…but should you use your knowledge of the outside world to change the event of the games? Sometimes, reality tends to show us that life is not a game.
The problem with dropping into a video game; is that you're always completely sure you are going to be THE hero. Sure some stories you read or hear about, say that you're not going to have a chance. I mean who believes such a thing, you know? I didn't at first…I paid for that dearly. I never really thought those stories could exist. My memory is still fuzzy but, I honestly had no idea how I ended up where I did. You know, like everyone else I thought things would play out the same. Maybe, change something for the better or not screw up everything too. No one told me that every action you take can change fate itself. There is no such thing as a storyline in reality after all.
Well, it wasn't my idea to argue with the leader of the Shepherds himself. The battle for Southtown didn't end as plan and I chose a different path. Yeah it was a smooth move! Anyway, I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. Well, like I said don't think things play out perfectly. Because, in reality there's no skill to use a Silver sword over a bronze one, no tomes that just break mid battle; and definitely not every one of your enemies are dressed and look the same. Hell, I wasn't even sure those bandits I had to kill then wore any red at all.
Again, I just kind of woke up. I was not expecting hearing a familiar female voice, one from a video game that I always played. Heck, I had heard at least a thousand times! Well maybe not that much.
"Chrom! We have to do something!" Her voice sounded just like that cutscene… I swore to myself that I was just dreaming.
"Oh yeah? What should we do then Lissa?" Wait what? I'm pretty sure he didn't say that in that scene…did he?
"Look maybe he's I someone important?" Ok, that was it! I couldn't take it anymore, this was some sort of weird dream and I had to wake up! I opened my eyes, only to blink a couple of times, cold air filled my lungs as I took a deep breath. Wait? Why wasn't I breathing? Damn it... What did this feel so real? "Hmm, he awakes from dead..." Wait! Who is that? Is that Frederick from Fire Emblem standing there? I guess so and he's already living up to his name "Frederick the Wary" by his commenting on my lack of movement.
This was not good. Sure, I never expected to end up here. So, I'm torn between running away or hugging Lissa like there's no tomorrow. Why? She was always one of my favorite characters! Except now she's real! So at the moment my mind was in overdrive. I was trying to figure out what happened to bring me here. Should I thank someone for bring me here? I didn't know what to do! I was freaking out man!
"So uh, you ok?" I tried to stand on my own receiving a hand up from Chrom himself. I did notice the purple mark on my hand but kind of ignored it. I mean it's was anything too important! After all this was some really weird dream…right?
"Yeah thanks..." See, I knew the things you're supposed to say if you're the Avatar. However, that was a game with pre-made script not reality. Thus, I couldn't get them out. Why? I'm not all that confident usually and I was kind of having some issues. Why? You might ask well, there wasn't a tome anywhere on me and my sword was strapped onto my hip. It wasn't such an issue but…Frederick was on his horse and his lance was out. He looked ready to skewer me! Crap, what do I say? This wasn't good at all!
"So you remember your name?" Thank you for the save, Chrom! It's nice to see that reality is kind like the cutscene. It's nice to know that there are some of the things I remember that are sort of intact.
"No…Umm my name? I don't think I remember my name…my head is killing me." I tried to explain, but I was in front of Chrom. It was a big deal after all he is a prince, I was kind of intimidated, it's not like you meet a prince every day.
"Hey I've heard of this! It's called amnesia!" Lissa said as she usually did. But, I was thankful for her saving from a situation I had no idea how to handle.
"Maybe he got knocked out? He was kind of just laying there alone..." That was Chrom again! Damn it, I can't mess up things now! I was trying to salvage what I remember from the game and all I did was to give out a small sigh.
"This isn't going to fix itself..." I mumbled softly and then, Damn it to hell! That not what I wanted to say!
"Well, milord why not bring him with us? He could be useful somehow. He at least has a blade..." Frederick thinks im useful? Wow, didn't see that one coming! Someone get me a recording!
Anyway we were finally moving towards, somewhere. My, bet was…Southtown right? Yeah, that sounded right! Well now, I knew we would eventually get to Southtown. Problem however, was walking there. Yeah, I know that this is going to happen. But still, it felt like forever! Anyway, I also didn't understand why Frederick got to ride that blasted horse. So eventually things started up again with Lissa shouting. "Chrom look over there!"
I sighed slightly, I knew something was wrong and I was finally getting what that wrongness was. There's was no script and everything you did was going to changes things; however small or large they might be.
Getting back to things, the other three had already run off towards the burning village. I was at an impasse. Neither knowledge of magic nor knowledge of swordsmanship; I was definitely not a good at tactics. So, I prayed as I walked. Normally I'm not usually a praying type of guy. But, for something of this scale…I'm going to needed a damned miracle and fast! Well, I got one already, depending on your point of view. Out of nowhere, a small female voice kind of popped into my head. Her voice felt heavenly?
"Hmm my vessel is in need?" I blinked and looked left and right. Where did that come from?
"You're a girl! I mean..." The voice seemed to sigh at my puzzlement.
"I'm not who you think I am..." Oh? Not the scary six-eye beast of mass destruction in my gut?
"Who are you?" I mean shouldn't it be Grima in my head, then some angel chick?
"Naga, As in the lady of dragons, Naga. "
"Wait... What about?" The next thing I knew a massive headache! It was like the worst I had ever felt ever, like thousands of needles slamming my head.
"Naga! You Bitch! What have you done! My vessel is destroyed and replaced by... some nobody!" Ok, first this definitely not the game! I doubt this was supposed to happen!
"Not now Grima I need to at least help my ace! " Not much of a difference, I suppose. I mean you are supposed to die, at least at if you choose that decision. After that I took off ignoring the verbal battle in my head. Heat was splashing on my skin from the nearby fire as I passed. Great it's all real! I also got sort of lucky. The three shepherds were waiting on the outskirts of the destroyed village. Chrom was pacing, most likely trying to figure out some sort of plan. Frederick was keeping an eye on Lissa who was fidgeting slightly at the grim scene.
As, I walked in…I definitely wasn't ready for what I was going into. They again I heard no one was ever ready for their first battle. See, was there was also no overhead view however, I get outlines about my foes. I just had to focus a little on one or a group and bam details! A nice way to figure things out, except everything was wrong. Plus it was explaining me the details like it was a game! I have no idea what class are or how to explain them in reality. Plus, I don't think Chrom would get that "The one on the right has 23 Strength". There wasn't a uniform policy from what I could tell I and the fact one had two axes, one with a chain attached to it. I already knew that I was screwed. Someone with two swords sparring with another two handed one, a mage who was arguing with chain axe and there was a female one as well. This was going to suck hard.
All I knew was that I was a hundred percent sure of this little tidbit. If I survived this somehow, I would literally insane by the end of this damn game.
So basically it's FE with no rules... Also the next Chapter has Grima do a little hmmm Rant against Fire Emblem game mechanics vs what reality is... At times the two dragons are used a lot others not as much... So please review and I might give you something in the future ^_^
