Hey peeps. I'm starting to get back on schedule with my uploads. I wound up working a good part of yesterday and couldn't write as much as I wanted to :/. Ughh, writing this make me want to play Fire Emblem: Awakening again, but my sister took her 3DS back last week T-T. Anyways…
Chasticot: "Hey guys, sorry I couldn't upload this last night" What are you apologizing for xD, with that pace we should be apologizing to have you work that much o:
It's not really working when you enjoy it :) Plus since I have a minimum audience of 7 (I don't know how many people just come on fanfiction casually and don't have accounts, like me until here recently.) I feel like since you people who are fans like it, I have no choice but to upload each chapter as best as I can!
Another march, huh? Well, it could be worse. We are finally moving on to chapter 2. I'm kinda glad actually, because if we hadn't then I would still have no idea how to fight.
Not that I have a good one now, but it is better.
"So what happened after, The Commander killed the Reaper in the quarian's home country?"
I think it was said in the male Robin supports that Sumia loved books and stories in game, but I don't think that they touched up on it enough.
"He had to choose to save the geth by allowing his ally Legion to use some purified Reaper magic to make his people smarter and faster, or to save the quarians who would be destroyed if the geth were allowed to become strong again. In the end he wasn't able to talk the quarian leaders out of war so he let Legion do his thing."
"Hey you two, what are you talking about?"
"Oh hey Tali. I was just telling Sumia a story that I heard in my realm."
Why does she look angry?
"I see… Carry on then."
That was weird. The hell is wrong with her?
"Daniel you should go talk to her."
"Sure… But don't you want to hear the rest of Commander Shepard's story?"
Why is she shaking her head? I think I am going to just give up on understanding woman.
"Shepherd's there are Risen ahead!"
I guess it can wait till after.
Right, run towards Chrom. Good thing that I have the javelin gun loaded already. It pays to have played the game before.
"Milord, they're guarding that bridge it seems."
"Fine then Tali! What is our strategy?"
…
Uh, Tali?
"Let's pair up in groups. Don't ever leave your partner's side understand?"
Everyone nods.
"Sully, you and Sumia pair up, Stahl and Lissa, Chrom and Vaike. Miriel should be here soon so Frederick, you take her when she comes. Clarke, you're with me, and Virion hang back at support."
That's preferable actually, don't units get better relationships when they fight together? Supports and such.
"Sully, you and Sumia charge along and hit the the myrmidons, Chrom you and Vaike-"
"Hey where's my axe?"
Everyone looks incredulously at the warrior. Except me because… well, if you don't know then you probably shouldn't be reading this huh? Enough breaking the fourth wall, back to buisness.
Tali pinches the bridge of her nose. "Nevermind Vaike, try to find your axe. Virion i'm going to need you to support Chrom, okay? You guys need to be clean up behind the girls. Stahl transport Lissa to who needs to get healed, while me and Clarke will take out the ranged fighters."
Vaike looks a little depressed now. Poor guy.
"Alright everyone, let's go"
"Hey, Clarke, are you ready?"
"Yeah let's get going."
She pulls out her tome and sword, and we start to run.
Sully and Sumia hit the myrmidons as planned killing two right off the bat and injuring three.
That archer is aiming for Frederick. I think it's kinda funny that he thinks that puny arrow would pierce the Great Knight armour.
Focus, fool.
Take aim.
FWOOSH
Alright pinned him to a tree by his belly.
Look over and see Tali kill three risen archers with ease.
"Nice shot, Clarke."
Is this the Veteran Skill in real life? Probably, I abused the shit out of it during my playthrough of Awakening.
Looks like Miriel showed up with Vaike's axe. They're fighting their way toward Freddy. Mage is taking aim.
FWOOSH
Sometimes I am really glad my parents taught me how to fire a normal gun.
Most of the Risen are gone now, there are just a few stragglers left, which Chrom and Virion are mopping up with excellent precision.
Alright, calm down, and catch breath.
"Water?"
"Yeah."
Take swig, oh thats refreshing.
"Thanks, Tali."
She grins slightly and leans close.
"You're gonna have to pay me back by being my source of warmth, Regna Ferox gets cold at night you know."
…
I'm never going to get used to how forward she is… But I'm not gonna lose this time.
"It would be unfortunate if our tactician suddenly died from hypothermia. I guess i'll do it for the good of the Shepherds. They better not say I don't do anything for them."
She scowls. I laugh.
Activate mock royalty manners.
"Milady, would thou doest me the honor of accompanying I to fetch my launched javelins?"
She raises an eyebrow, but it turns into a grin.
"Why, milord, it would be an honor to do so."
We connect elbows and walk towards the first Risen that was impaled.
(Third Person: Lissa and Stahl)
The princess giggled as she watched her two friends walk towards the woods. As far as she knew, she was the only one who knew of Tali's feelings for the Outrealmer, and as hard as it might be, she was planning on keeping that to herself… and possibly Maribelle or Emm.
Her companion had pulled out one of his trademarked biscuits and began munching down on it. The glutton was gazing back at the scene of the battle, the risen corpses were already beginning to dissipate into a black light, then vanish. Shaking his head, he turned his horse around and went to the gathering around Vaike, who was slightly injured but not horribly.
Chrom struck down the leader right as the duo arrived. It wasn't a long fight, twenty minutes at the most but everyone already looked exhausted. Lissa got off of Stahl's horse and began treating the amourless warrior, nagging him to be more careful.
"Stahl, have you seen Tali and Daniel?" The cavalier turned towards Frederick, who asked the question. "Yes, I'm guessing that they went to go pick up Daniel's javelins." If one could have listened closely you could've heard Lissa giggling softly.
Chrom looked at the sun, it was only a little past noon. He glanced to his knight, who nodded. "Shepherds! We will have ten minute break before continuing the march. We need to make it to Broluch before nightfall." The Shepherds groaned but began to get here gear set to travel again. Since the cavaliers were always ready to travel they took their time rubbing down their mounts and giving them much needed water.
Broluch was a small town near the border to Regna Ferox. It was famous for the apple trees that provided Ylisse with the majority of its apples. The town was an ideal place to stop, since many caravans came through, it had a big enough hotel for the Shepherds.
(Third Person: Lucina and Isaac)
Lucina was going over her gear for the fifth time today. Anyone with eyes could see, that Chrom's future daughter was nervous. Isaac had gone out to get her food, leaving her all alone with her thoughts. She knew that the only foolproof way to stop the rise of Grima was to save her aunt, the current exalt, from assassination in less than two months. The alternative if she failed her goal was to keep her father, and Shepherds alive.
She knew however that Grima wasn't the only threat. Walhart would be preparing an invasion for the Feroxi shore. When she and Isaac first came back they had heard rumors of the resistance in Valm falling. It shocked the princess, who was sure the Valmesse invasion wouldn't take place until her younger self's early teens.
This concerned the cerulean haired woman, her country's army would still be recovering from the war with Plegia. Her companion didn't share in her worries though, he was certain that things would be fine if they saved Emmeryn. The oddly armoured man had promised her that he would do everything in his power to help her.
That was part of the reason Lucina had decided to help find Isaac's descendant somewhere in this world. Isaac had been with her for as long as she could remember. She still remembered the story her mother, Sumia, had told her.
(Third Person: Flashback)
Lucina's father had just returned from the Outrealm gate. Old Hubba had lost control of his Einherjar cards again, except this time it was only one card that was misused. Only one of the group had hear of 'Isaac Clarke' before. The person had described Isaac as 'the man with the indomitable will to survive'.
The battle against the lone man was brutal. He had nearly killed Vaike, who bull rushed him out of sheer arrogance. It had taken careful planning from her Auntie Tali to make it through without a casualty.
Old Hubba had given her father the card for Isaac and told him that this card would be invaluable to his daughter in her future. At first the exalt ignored the old man's advice, but his wife nagged him all the way back to Ylisse about it.
The little princess was given the card, a week before she would turn two, as an early birthday present, but there was something different about this Einherjar. It wouldn't take orders. Chrom grew frustrated with it and threatened to put him back in the card if he didn't start obeying. The queen was the only one he would listen to because she treated him like a person instead of a slave.
When Lucina was eight she went on a picnic with her parents out in the woods near Yllistol. Isaac had naturally tagged along with the little princess. She had been quite taken with Isaac and would ride around on his shoulders just as much as her father's.
Her father, changed from the loss of Emmeryn and his injury on the fateful night of her assassination, was a colder man than the one her mother told stories about. The exalt didn't care for the Einherjar and only kept him around for his daughter.
While they were on this picnic a bear had wandered into their camp, and had spotted little Lucina. It charged at what it thought would be an easy meal. No matter how hard she tried, Chrom's daughter couldn't recall with any clarity what had happened. She had heard from her mother that Isaac had distracted the bear from her and, using his surroundings to help, had killed the bear by himself.
After that day, her father grew to respect the armoured man and had even grown a bond of friendship with him.
(Third Person: Lucina's room)
"Lucy? I'm back with food." Isaac's voice had snapped the princess out of her reminiscing. She turned as the Einherjar opened the door, a plate of salmon balanced in his left hand. She took the food as gave her thanks. The man retracted his helmet and went to the washroom, claiming he needed to wash his face and hair.
Lucina once again made the promise to herself that she would Isaac's descendant. The armoured man was family to her and so that made his descendant her family as well, and if there was one thing she learned from her mother and father was you always take care of your family.
Thanks for reading this guys! And I was curious, do you guys want a chapter of this devoted solely to what happened in the future past? Or maybe a separate story once I finish this one, cause I have some ideas floating around in this ole head of mine. So yeah, review and let me know!
