Author's Note: This is just a preview to the new story I am working on. I do not own Fire Emblem. This is an idea I came up with out of the blue. It is from Mist's point of view in the beginning.
The Others
15 years ago my brother Ike, his wife Mia, and our best friend and tactician Soren left for other continents and a life of exploring. When I said goodbye to Ike I did not know it would be the last time I would see him. This story starts on a stormy night 12 years ago on the continent of Calcusala.
"Find them! We must not let them escape!"
The rain was pounding heavily down on the three figures running through the forest. One of them stumbled. She was carrying a baby. The blue-haired man reached back for her.
"Come Mia, we must not let them catch us."
Mia reached for her husband's hand and hurried through the maze of trees.
The voices of their pursuers were getting closer.
"They will let the rest of the world know about our world! We can't let that happen!"
The baby Mia was clutching so closely to her breast started to cry from being wet.
"Hush now Aiden, please don't cry. We are almost there."
Soren stopped and told the group to get down.
"They foresaw our plan. They have the edge of the forest blocked off. They will surely kill Haggar if they find out he was giving us passage to Tellius."
"We must get there Soren. Work your magic."
Soren took out his most cherished tome, Rexcalibur and started chanting the spell.
A cold wind started to pick up and then it became freezing cold. Shards of ice and a strong wind came crashing down on the unit that was patrolling the outside of the forest. Everyone was killed on the spot and the three slipped past and toward the port.
When they arrived they were too late. Haggar was surrounded. They didn't have time to free Haggar and evade the pursuers in the forest. Ike looked at Mia. He leaned down and kissed his son.
"I love both of you very much. Live on and make it to Tellius. They must be warned of the power that lies here."
"No Ike, you can't be serious. I won't leave without you!"
"You must or Aiden won't have a mother."
With that Ike drew his sword and charged towards the forest to slow down the pursuers.
Mia and Soren fought and killed the soldiers holding Haggar up and they headed for the ship.
Mia looked back one last time and made a rash decision.
"Soren take Aiden."
"Mia you musn't!"
"I'm sorry Soren. I can't stand by as my husband is killed."
She kissed her son. "I love you more than anything Aiden. I am so sorry." She looked at Soren. "Let him know I loved him and remind him every day."
With that Mia ran towards the sound of battle, tears welling up in her eyes.
"If you want a battle, that is what you will get!"
She spotted Ike across the field of dead bodies with more coming to fight.
"Ike!"
He turned and started towards her.
"Mia! Why aren't you with Soren and our son?"
"I had to be with you. I can't let you die."
"Prepare yourself, this is going to be a long one."
Mia smiled as she stood beside the man she loved. "Anything you say Boss."
Soren could do nothing but hold Aiden and hope that his friends would survive the battle and find refuge someplace until he returned with help. Haggar walked up to Soren.
"We are going to use the rune now to take ya back home."
"They will be surprised to see me and very surprised to hear what I have to say."
