Hi JapanDreamer09 here. I like to do these little introductions when I start a new story. Mostly to let new readers know what to expect. You are free to skip the background explanation and introduction about myself and move on to the prologue.
I am mostly a third person writer. I have been writing for quite a while now, and it is one of my favorite hobbies. I usually update when I have the time, so don't be surprise if I remain dormant for a couple of months at a time. I promise that I won't abruptly stop my series without letting you, the reader, know.
Thanks SinCityAssassin for editing.
Enjoy!
Prologue:
It wasn't just the shudders she heard from him, nor was it just the sudden paleness of his skin; it was the stunned look on his face that terrified her. A crackling noise filled the air, and as if everything moved in slow motion, she watched his hand slowly reaching for his stomach as he stumbled backwards, away from her. A blade of light pierced through his chest, brimming with electrical charge.
Horrified, she stared down at her hands and saw that they too were crackling with electrical residue. The revelation had left her whole body went numb.
Wh-what? What have I done? She looked back up. She could feel her mouth move, but no words came out. What could she say at this point?
"It's not y-your fault. Promise me…" He paused as he tried hard to ignore the pain. There was a desperate look in his eyes. Not for his safety, but for hers. "Promise me, you'll escape from the place. Please… go…" He tried to say more as he gasped for air, but it was too late. His eyes turned into lifeless dark pools, and he slumped to the ground.
No... No, NO, NO, NO!
"Chrom!" Finally finding her voice, she screamed out his name in anguish and grabbed ahold of him. But no matter how loud she cried or shook him, he never replied back. Her vision blurred as the tears came tumbling down. Sitting next to his body, she stared up at the dark castle walls, and for the first time, realized how truly alone she was.
GAAAAH HA HA HAAA! AH HA HA HAAAA! She grabbed her head in pain, she could still hear that man's laughter inside her head, echoing ceaselessly, taunting her even in the afterlife.
… Get out! GET OUT! GET OUT!
Author's notes
This is my first attempt to write a Fire Emblem story.
Just a heads up. I have never played a tactician game before FE: Awakening which I started maybe last year. It was a very interesting experience despite being a novice. What I do like about this game is that it can provide so many different interpretations and choices of how the story goes. I think it was this aspect of the game that drove my interest in writing a story about it. Fire Emblem Awakening has so many different characters, so it is going to be a challenge to write. This could either turn out really great or really chaotic. LOL.
Thanks for reading and I'll see you in the next chapter.
