Author's note. If it's in first person, it's William's point of view. If it's not, I'll list which character's point of view it is. I also don't own fire emblem.
Donny was a nice kid. He wasn't the best with a sword, but I sparred with him in my free time, and he was becoming quite proficient with it. Over the next few weeks, I socialized with the other shepherds. I became quick friends with Robin and Chrom, and it seemed like Lucina was warming up to my existence. And Apparently, Donnel considers me a mentor of sorts.
Now, I wasn't playing a game anymore, but still, I wonder what the pairings would be. I mean, I already know it's Sumia who married Chrom, but theres still the others to think about. But for now, I think I'll go grab a bite to eat.
Robin's POV.
Robin was especially tired today. He had spent most of the night doing paperwork. It didn't take long for Robin to realize some of them were duplicates. Needless to say, more hours were wasted trying to distinguish the papers. He would have to speak to Chrom about that. Speaking of which, he had more work piled up on the table. Robin sighed, and started writing.
After a few hours of hard work, the paperwork were almost finished. Robin only had to sign a few more signatures and-"HEY!" Someone had swatted away the quill in his hand. "I was almost done that!" the paper was now covered in black ink.
"I'm sorry." A familiar voice sounded behind him. Robin turned around and saw Lucina holding a platter of soup.
"I was calling your name multiple times, but you wouldn't listen. You missed breakfast. And you weren't there for lunch either. So I thought I would bring you some."
Robin was about to politely refuse when the smell got to him. He tried to resist the temptation, but it was just too great. He carefully took the platter, and began to dig in.
"Thanks Lucina, I was… Hey wait!" Robin glanced up and saw Lucina run out of the room. "Huh, I wonder what that was for." But he didn't really care. Oblivious as ever, he returned to eating his lunch.
William POV
Man, what was in that soup? Bear meat? How do people eat this stuff? Anyways. I started walking. I had no destination in mind, I was just pacing around, thinking about my abilities.
Think about it. In Grand Chase, Sieghart uses Mana for his skills. I don't have Mana, yet I was able to utilise skills. Or maybe Mana was stamina. No, that doesn't make sense. People don't get tired for using Mana. But Mana is Exhaustable.
My train of thought ended when I turned around the corner and crashed into Lucina. She must have been going quite fast, because I got knocked to the ground.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I should have been more carefull!"
"Aughh. It's OK. I wasn't paying attention either. So, Why are you in such a rush, Princess?"
"N-nothing! I'm not in a rush!" Whoa, she took off….. Wait, was she blushing? I look over at the corridor where Lucina came from, and I saw Robin's room.
I smiled. Two pairings down, About five thousand more to go.
Of course there had to be a risen attack today. And let me tell you, they look much scarier than they do in the games. I decided not to use any skills until I figure out the whole Mana thing, or if I desperately need it.
"William sir? I'm scared." I could see it. Donny was just a kid. With a pot on his head. It was wrong to make kids fight adult's battles.
"Don't worry! Just stay close to me, and you'll be fine!" Donny gave me a nervous nod. I drew Gladius, and ran towards the risen horde.
I headed towards the left flank. It was all part of Robin's strategy. The risen were in clumps, So Robin decided on a pincer formation, with me attacking the left with Donnel, Lon'qu, Cordelia, and Virion, while Chrom lead the other end with Robin, Lucina, Frederick, and Miriel. Not all of the shepherds were present, but this plan should work. Cordelia jabbed at the risen at the sky, while Lon'qu, donnel, and I attacked them from the ground, while Virion shot down risen, one by one. Slowly, we piled the risen together. But these risen would still be trouble.
"AHHHHHH!" DAMN! That's Donnel! I rushed over and sliced the risen in half. "You okay there?"
"I guess." He doesn't look too beaten up, but he does look shaken. Then I realized. I can make this battle end quicker.
"DEATH KNELL!" I spun around in a circle, Unleashing Blades of flame that cut through most of the risen.
"William! You did it!" Robin yelled. But I felt even more tired than before, the next thing you know, I went unconscious.
Author's note.
I'm a lot more happy with that chapter, I got some character development done. I know the battle scene was weak, but they'll be better when The campaign for Valm starts. If you wan't good battle scenes, check out my Minecraft story. I know, I know. Shameless self-advertisement. I think that's enough author's note, so PEACE!
