Authors Note: Hey everyone, I'm a new writer. I've always wanted to write a Fan fiction, but I didn't know where to start until about a week or so ago. Please review? Constructive criticism is VERY much appreciated.

"Hyah! Huh!" Various battle cries came from me, my sword being swung against the trees in my front yard.
I'm David Burr, a high school student.
...Well, a soon to be high school student.
I'm 14, and I live on the planet Earth.
Erm... what else is there...? I like vanilla pudding, I like to practice with my Styrofoam sword, read, write, listen to music...
You know, the usual teenage stuff.
Wait... I suppose that sword thing is kinda childish... But I'm one of those "weird" kids where once you get to know me, I'm just totally awesome.
...If that's not a good excuse for you, I don't need you to need me.
I want you too want meeeee...
Okay, I'm officially done with that. I hope...
See? I'm totally random! In the middle of class, I started singing "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavinge. True story, by the way.
I also like to play video games. Great big ones, at that, too.
I like Pokemon, Golden Sun, Sonic, Mario, and a truly mentionable one... Well, two words.
Fire.
Emblem.
It's so challenging!
...Unless you're playing Sword of Seals, Blazing Sword, or Sacred Stones on a VisualBoyAdvanced or something like that, and you abuse save states.
That aside, it requires you to actually think. If one of your units die, they're gone for good, except in Lyns mode, where they just get "injured" really bad, and need a year to get better.
And yet, if Lyn "dies", she dies.
...Hey, wait. Why is there a vortex of types in front of me...?
"Oh shiiiii-" The vortex dragged me in, my cursing echoing through it.
------------------------------
I awoke on a cold stone floor, my head aching. I did a quick check with my hands to see that all of me was intact.
Arms? Of course, check.
Legs? Yup.
My sanity...?
...
I lost that forever ago, so uncheck.
I chuckled at that, my throat dry. I inhaled, and started coughing violently at the dusty air.
"You should take it easy..." I shot right up at the voice, my head spinning. "Who's there...?"
A girl in long white robes stepped into my eyesight, her hair a deep ebony, eyes golden, and her complexion pale.
Where have I heard of that body type before...?
"I'm Jocelyn, a servant of Lord Nergal..."
Nergal. NERGAL?!
"Nergal... As in..." I started, but ended up coughing again.
Jocelyn stepped forward, touching a staff to my chest. It glowed a bright blue, and eased my coughing fit.
"The Dark Druid. So we grabbed the right kid this time..."
This time? So that means others had been dragged from Earth here?
"Wait, so let me get this straight... I'm on Elibe...?" I raised an eyebrow. That staff she used to ease my coughing fit had me convinced, but I still couldn't grasp the fact that one moment, I was listening to L'Arc~en~Ciels Ready, Steady, Go! practicing my swordplay, and now...
I'm on a different world.
WAIT!
I searched my right pocket really quick.
...
Good, my MP3 is still there. I sighed in relief, and Jocelyn looked at me with a weird expression on.
"...What? I like my music..." I chuckled sheepishly, hoping for a chance to come soon for me to listen to my MP3 and be able to figure out my next course of action.
"I think I'll leave you alone, since that's what you want..." With that, Jocelyn left the room. I sat there, taking in a deep breath, cringing at the dust air traveling up my nose. I looked around for a window, but failed to find one.
"Go figure..." I muttered, placing my headphones into my ears, and I blared Morning Musumes "Koi no Dance Site", and I got to thinking.
"(Well, if this Jocelyn girl said Lord Nergal, then there's a possibility I'm on Valor. Are they going to force me into the Black Fang...? I mean, it WOULD be awesome to get some experience here and there with an actual sword... But I doubt I could bring myself to take a life...)"
Tomoyasu Hoteis "Thrill"
"(Maybe I could also learn magic... Elder and Anima. I doubt I could learn Light, as it comes from your faith in Saint Elimine... There's no doubt that if I'm REALLY in Elibe, Elimine is real... But my religion is Christianity, so I prefer God...)"
Vitamin Cs "Vacation"
At the first part with the instrumental after the lyrics, the door opened, and in walked Nergal himself. I raised an eyebrow, posing myself as to run. "No need for that, David Burr of Trick Square, Indiana, from the United States of America on the planet Earth..."
Wow, if that doesn't creep you out...
"What do you want with me?"
"I want you to join me."
Knew it. Saw it coming three thousand miles away.
...Or as soon as I though it.
"I know what happens. Eliwood and Hector stop you." My eyes opened wide at that, and I covered my mouth with both hands.
"No need, boy, for I already knew that... If I can get into other dementions, why wouldn't I check it's history about my future...?"
"Why take me? What happened to those others? What are your intentions of using me"
"Well, I left them to fend for themselves across Elibe..."
"Why not just return them, and why won't you answer my other question?"
"How about I ask the questions around here...?"
"...If you were looking for me, I can easily just kill myself."
"How so?" Nergal chuckled to himself.
"I can continue breathing in this dusty air and choke on it." I retorted.
"Being a smart alec won't get you anywhere, child."
There was a long silence, and Nergal spoke again.
"Fine. If you want time to think, I'll give it to you, but I expect your answer a year into the future."
A year...? So is this before all of the Lorca tribe, Lyn aside, are killed, or not...?
"Jocelyn." The pale skinned cleric walked forward.
Wait. If she finds Nergal to be her God, how can she use Staffs...? I publicized that question, and Nergal replied "My power is large, if not greater then Athos..." Jocelyn pulled out a new staff, which seemed to look like a Warp staff, and held it out toward my direction, a circle appearing below me. Before I could react, it took me out of the room.
Whoo!!! Acid trip time!
...Disregard that, I don't do drugs.

Authors note: Again, please review/constructively criticize? Also, I hope for longer chapters in the future. I hate not being able to write much...
