Hello everyone! Welcome to the prologue of my first fan-fiction! This is, if you haven't guessed it from the title, a Fire Emblem fan-fiction. I hope you enjoy! Note: I do not own Fire Emblem or any of the series' characters.

Legends tell us of a time when the four lands were linked together. During these times an Evil beast started to take the lands one by one until all four lands suffered under his rule. The Evil beast sent out his armies and killed all who opposed him. Many tried to defend their homes, but all fell to the might of this powerful Evil.

Man soon turned to the 5 elemental Gods, who were said to live in a realm apart from theirs, to save them from the beasts that had conquered the lands. These Gods heard the plead of man and each sent forth a hero to defeat the Evil, but not even these heros were able to save man. After this defeat, the Gods knew they would have to bide their time and wait for an opportunity to strike. Years became decades. Decades became centuries. Centuries became a millennium and it is man lost faith in the Gods and forgot them. When man no longer called to the Gods for help the great Evil lowered his guard and soon forgot about the Gods himself.

Seeing that the Evil's guard was weak, the 5 Gods opened the path between the 4 continents and their own realm and confronted the Evil them selves. The first God, He who controls the winds, caused great gales that ripped the beasts that stood in His path, leaving only bits and peaces of the beasts. The second Goddess, She who controls fire, left only deserts in Her wake as She burned the beasts to nothing. The third God, He who controls the lighting that fell to the lands, brought forth great storms that reduced all in His way to frightened creatures, and left the fried corpses of the beast where they fell. The fourth God, He who controls the shadows and darkness, tormented the beasts, that had brought men to their knees just by approaching them, until their minds broke and they became as willing to fight as sloth is to move from its perch. The last Goddess, who lead the others, She who controls the light that guides all men, rekindled man's will to fight and She lead a great army that was able to quickly repel the beasts from man's land. Upon seeing the Gods appear before them, man stood in awe at Their great powers. The Gods soon were able to trap the Evil in Their own realm. The Gods brought four worriers who had proven themselves to the Gods to help finish the Evil.

The 4 men who were privileged to travel to the Gods' realm said that they and the Gods struggled, as powerful as they were, to suppress the Evil. They could not kill the Evil, so they sealed It behind a great door in the ground, and locked the door with the Gods' great power, which took shape as 5 locks. The Gods told the 4 men that these locks were symbols of the Gods power and they gave each man one of the locks, but kept the Fire Goddess' lock, the Fire Emblem, as They called it, with Them in hope that, with the locks separated across the 5 lands, the door would never be opened as long as They stood guard. After the men went back to their own lands, the Gods closed the doors between the lands. These doors were know to man as the Outer-Realms Gates.

In each land, legends were born as man was able to defend itself from new evils that invaded. Some such heroes are Marth, who defended his lands of Akaneia from the evil dragon Grima and Medeus, with the help of the holy dragon Naga. Roy, a young man who vanquished the evil that had infected Bern's lord with his friends and allies. Eirika, with her brother Ephraim, protected their home of Magvel from the rise of a Demon Lord. And Ike, who deafened the land of Tellius from the corrupt goddess Ashera with the help of Micaiah, the godess Yune, and their friends. Many long years have passed since these events, with the four Emblems entrusted to man forgotten by most, is when our story begins. The Outer-Realms Gates have reopened, and the 5 Gods are unaware of this happening. Scared of what has begun to happen, the people of Akaneia have invaded Tellius...

Thanks for reading this prologue! I hope you liked it and will continue to read this. Other than the reference to them in this prologue, the playable characters form the games will not be appearing. Sorry if I got your hopes up. Also, while Tellius is being used, the weapons will follow the more like FEs 4-8. Again, I do not own Fire Emblem.

I am accepting OCs for this project as I wouldn't wish the creation of as many OCs needed for a Fire Emblem fan-fiction.
