Really short chapter today!
It is an important chapter though, a five year jump and the Avatar is revealed!
As always, I hope you enjoy this little chapter!
Disclaimer: I don't own Fire Emblem
Prologue 6: Letters
Dear Cordelia,
Today I met the rest of the Shepherds today and Aerne and I were greeted with open arms. The others seemed really excited to see Aerne especially. It's a relief that she is surrounded by kind people after what has happened. Hope everything is going well, hope you write back soon!
Kasai
Dear Kasai,
It's good to know that you and Aerne are doing well. I am training as much as possible, I heard Captain Phila talking to Eclair and it seems Sumia and I are going to graduate here soon into full knighthood and join a squad. It's exciting, but a little nerve racking.
Hope you write back soon, Cordelia
One Year Later...
Cordelia,
Congratulations on graduating! I'm sorry I could not make it to the ceremony, Chrom had our mage, Miriel and I investigate some old ruins. It's hard to understand her, so I kept quiet most of the time and the investigation led to nothing. I got that book you sent me, about the old swordmasters. It's very interesting I'm almost finished with it.
Hope this gets to you before you transfer, Kasai
3 Years Later...
Kasai,
Happy Birthday! I'm stationed at the border again, it's as quiet as ever which is a good thing. It's been four years since we met, I can't believe it has been this long all ready. Captain Phila gave me leave so I can come visit you and Sumia. How is she settling in? I heard after Chrom asked her to join the Shepherds she fainted.
I hope you have a great birthday, see you soon, Cordelia.
1 Year Later...

The strangest things are happening around here. Chrom found a man sleeping in the middle of a field. He couldn't remember anything except his name Kuroi. The man is a genius though, I played him in a game of chess and I never stood a chance. There are also these things called Risen. I hope you haven't seen any yet, they are these zombie-like creatures that appeared out of nowhere one day on the road. To make matters worse, Chrom is worried about the situation with Plegia. I hope it doesn't break out into war. We are heading to Regna Ferox to seek aide in the potential battle. Be careful, with you on the Plegian border, I'm worried about what would happen if the Plegians attack.
Be careful, Kasai
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I thought of a way to make the time jump as I want to continue the story the events of Awakening and I decided to write the letters. What do you guys think? I understand if you think it was a little rushed, but I wanted to get this up and start the other half.
Any way, the Avatar's name is Kuroi. I haven't decided who he should be paired up with yet, but I have a few in mind. Now that I think of it, this is also the first story I've written that takes place during the actual plot.
I hope you enjoy the rest of the story, and see you all next time.
