I own nothing except my Oc`s. The Fire Emblem series is owned by Nintendo and Intelligent Systems.
It was as normal a day as any other. I was sitting in my room, playing my games as usual. It was raining outside, giving me the perfect excuse to stay indoors.
"Food is ready!" dad calls me from downstairs.
"Coming!" I pause my game and head downstairs. Dad was in the kitchen, along with my brother Dan. "Where`s Mom?" I ask.
"She`s going to be home late, again" Dan replied with a sigh. This was, sadly, a common occurrence. Despite what she said, Mom still tended to work until late at night.
"Well, at least that gives us an excuse to have your favorite meal" Dad pointed out. He then placed a bowl with chicken salad on the table.
"Sweet!" Dan happily exclaimed. I smile while shaking my head. Honestly, he can be such a kid sometimes. Still, he is fun to be around. I took my seat next to my brother and Dad sat down across from us. As we ate, I found Dad glancing at the empty seat next to him. Poor guy, I guess even he misses Mom a bit. Suddenly, Dan`s phone began ringing.
"Jeez, I wonder who it is" I say jokingly. Dan simply rolls his eyes at me and picks it up.
"Hello… Oh, hi mom" Dan responded, catching my attention. Mom was calling him? "Right, I`ll make sure they know. Kay, bye" he closed. "Mom`s catching a ride with a friend and wants Dad and me to meet her at the mall" Dan explained.
"I guess I`ll just watch the house" I sighed.
"Hey, at least now you can play your games uninterrupted" Dad smiled. I gave him a frown, but didn`t respond.
"Later bro" Dan called out to me before he and Dad left. After I heard the door close, I went to lock it. I soon heard the sound of Dan`s car starting. After the car had left, I went back upstairs. Entering my room, I went to… wait a minute. Why is my 3DS lying on my desk? More importantly, why is blinking? Last I checked, the thing was turned off. I slowly stepped towards it. What is this weird feeling? Once I opened it, the screens were bright. Like really bright. After a few seconds, I was blinded, as expected.
Once I opened my eyes, I saw that I was floating in some…dark void. What the hell happened? Did I die?
"Fear not child, you are still among the living" an elegant female voice calls out to me. Suddenly, a bright flash of light appeared before me. Covering my eyes, I could barely make out the outline of a figure. The light slowly died down, thank god. Now I could see that figure was indeed female, with green hair and eyes.
"Mind telling me what is going on and who you are?" I asked, clearly confused.
"I am Naga" she responded. Wait, Naga? As in the deity? "You have been given a chance" "Naga" stated.
"What kind of chance?" I asked.
"To live a different life" Naga replied. Now this sounds interesting. I give her a nod, signaling for her to continue. "In this life, you could help end a great evil. In addition, you could help them see what family truly means" she finished. Family huh? Mine was never all that bad, but not all that great either. Mom was often away and Dad was usually busy. Dan was the only one I got to spend a lot of time with. I decided to check something.
"And if I refuse?" I asked.
"You will be forced to remain here" Naga bluntly replied. Figures, nothing is ever that simple.
"Then I accept" I said.
"Are you sure? Once you go there, you can never return" Naga asked, something resembling worry in her eyes.
"I understand, and I won`t back down" I said with determination. Naga smiled at me.
"Very well, child. Best of luck" she said. She then touched my forehead with a finger. I began to feel drowsy and soon my eyelids began to feel heavy. "Remember, don`t die" she stated. I barely heard her though, as I`m passing out.
My eyes opened once again. I now stared up at sealing of some kind, simple enough. Once I looked down though… what the actual hell? I`m a BABY? Of course, I began crying my eyes out. Soon after, I felt myself getting picked up.
"Please, don`t cry" a middle-aged woman said, rocking me back and forth.
"Quickly, call for the King!" one man called out.
"Right" another agreed, the sound of a door opening signaling his leave. The woman who was holding me gave me a smile, as if telling me that everything was going to be okay. I also noticed that she had crimson red hair and blue eyes.
"Let me hold them" another female voice said.
"Yes milady" the first woman replied. Soon after, I was handed over to a woman with light blue hair and blue eyes. "It is a boy, milady" the red haired woman said.
"I see" she then looked down at me. "It`s a boy after all. I wonder how he will react" she mused. I guess this is my mom. Soon after, I could hear doors opening once again.
"Where is she?" a voice barked.
"Over here, dear" mom replied. Soon, presumably my dad, came into view. He had short red hair and brown eyes.
"Who`s this whelp?" he asked. Whelp, what kind of insult is that?
"That`s our son, Gangrel" Mom replied.
"Really? I couldn`t tell based on you holding him" Dad said sarcastically. They shared a laugh…for some reason. "So, what will he be named?" Dad asked.
"Oscar, his name is Oscar" Mom replied. Oscar huh? I could live with that name.
"Not bad, Oscar it is" Dad agreed. Well, I guess this is my new life.
A/N: Hope you all enjoyed this first chapter. Also, this story be updated at random, just a fair warning. Lastly, paring Oscar with any Valmese female characters is off limits. Anyways, see you all next time and have an awesome day.
