AN: tsuyokisu and Springflowerangel I'm glad you two enjoy the story so far. I don't know if I'll be able to keep it interesting but I'll certainly try to.

A young fourteen old Eira who barely trained ran down the halls of the royal palace of Vanahel chasing after her brother. "Brother! Wait up!" Eira was about finally catch up to him when she tripped on a bunched up bit of the carpet.

"Are you okay?"

"Ow, I'm fine."

"Come on. Let's go meet your mentor." Eira nodded but once she picked herself off the ground she heard faint whispering which slowly got louder and louder until she was able to make out what they were saying. Whoever the voices belonged to they were calling out her name and she looked around to see where the voice was coming from. The first place that she could tell was the room that they were forbidden from entering but more curious about the voices she decides to check the room. Eira pushed the doors open to reveal a dusty old room and the only thing of interest was the sword in the middle of the room which is resting on a pedestal. Once again she heard the voices whisper her name but she didn't see anyone in the room and it quickly dawned on her what that meant.

"Oh wow! I can't believe the legendary sword is in our home!" Without hesitation, Eira ran over to the sword and she knew the voices were coming from the sword that meant only one thing. The sword chose her as the next one to wield it so placed her hand on the hilt and tried to pull the sword out of the pedestal it was resting on. The moment she did the runic letters began to glow brightly until it eventually faded to dim light and she swung the sword a couple of times before inspecting it. "Lighter than I thought."

"I can't believe it..."

"Ah! Brother look! The sword Angrval chose me!" Eira said as she showed him the sword but she noticed the unknown expression that she never seen on him. The next moment she was standing inside some ruins with a pillar of light and her blade pointed at her brother while he did the same.

"Let's end this!" Eira slowly breathed in and out as she hardened her resolve to bring this to an end, she tightened her grip on her sword a little before beginning her fight. In the central chamber, all one could hear was the wind being blown from the ritual that was happening and the sound of metal clashing together. During their battle, Eira kept noticing how sloppy her brother was since she noticed multiple opens that she could've exploited but the next thing shocked her since she heard her brother weakly say do it. With a slight amount of hesitation, Eira pushed him away and punched him in the face which left him shocked since he did expect such a move. Eira knocked the blade out of his hand before tackling him to the ground and pinning him so he couldn't do anything.

"I know I can save you, brother! I won't let you be a slave to him!" With a shaky breath, Eira closed her eyes for a few seconds before turning her attention to stop the ritual but she stopped when she noticed her brother's body wasn't lying the ground at her feet. Eira began to panic when everything started to warp and distort a little with black fog rolling in from nowhere. Suddenly, the pillar of light vanished and she was left alone in the dark empty ruins with an eerie feeling overcoming her. Eira started to panic when she noticed the walls and ceiling started to collapse around but she froze up when she heard growling in the dark. She hesitantly looked up to see in the dark and mist while all she could make out was a large draconic figure with glowing red eyes staring down at her. Eira's breath became ragged and fast from the fear that was quickly welling up, and her whole body shook as she tightly held on her sword. Eira started to scream from the large shadowy hand reaching for her and she dropped her sword in fear while backing away from the figure.

Eira woke up screaming as she sat up with heavy breathing and her heart beating fast in her chest. The first thing she noticed was that she is lying on a bed in some strange room. "J-Just a nightmare." Though now that she was able to calm down she noticed a couple of things, one, her clothes and armour were taken off, two, whoever took her in bandaged her wounds up. Eventually, it dawned on her once she noticed most of her clothes were taken off meaning that the Fire Emblem was gone. She weakly got up from the bed still feeling a little sluggish but still began her search, lucky, she didn't have to search for it much since the weapon is sitting on the table to next to the bed. Relief quickly washed over her while she made her way over to them and put on her gear leaving only one problem that was to figure out where she is. Suddenly, she heard a gasp behind her and whipped around to see a maid standing at the doorway looking shocked. "Um..."

"You're awake." The maid said. "The Exalt would like to see you."

'The Exalt? It must be their leader.' Eira thought. "Okay, lead the way."

Eira followed the maid who currently had two guards follow them as they made it towards their destination which ended up being some kind of throne room. The first thing she noticed was the fact that there are more guards than before which was understandable they did let some total stranger in the castle and said stranger was armed. The next thing was a woman with long blonde hair and she has a tattoo of some kind on her forehead, she wore green and white robes the only thing she could tell was that she is more than likely the Exalt.

"Greetings. I know it may be a shock to wake up in such a strange place, but I have a few questions."

"Before we get to that, there's something I want to say and ask."

"Yes, go ahead."

"Where am I, and how did I get here?"

"You don't know? You were found not too far from here. Very well, then I welcome you to the Halidom of Ylisse. I am the Exalt, Emmeryn."

"I'm Eira, a princess of a kingdom called Vanahel."

"Vanahel? I am... not familiar with this place you speak of."

"Of course you don't. It's... not exactly the easiest place to get to. It's, uh, a faraway place." Eira decided to keep the truth from them since she knew they wouldn't believe, who would? Being able to travel between worlds was only a myth from where she came from, she too wouldn't believe it was possible if she didn't go through such a thing.

"Then what's a princess doing so far away from home?"

"I was... forced out of my kingdom."

"Oh my, what happened?"

"My kingdom was in the middle of a war. I've sworn an oath to protect all under my rule. But I failed them due to my incompetence and now my kingdom is in ruins. Everything that happened is all my fault."

"I'm sorry for asking such an insensitive question."

"It's fine."

"Well to answer your other question. My brother is the one who found you and brought you here."

"Where is he? I want to thank the man that rescued me."

"He's... on an important mission."

"That's too bad."

"There's a couple of questions I want to ask."

"Okay, you answered my questions so it's only fair,"

"Have you ever heard of Plegia?"

"Plegia?" Emmeryn could see that she didn't know what she was talking about. "No, I never heard of it. Is that a country or kingdom nearby?"

"Yes, we... unfortunately don't have a great relationship. We're under the constant threat of war with them as of late."

"That's terrible."

"I think that's the only question I need to ask."

"What? Really?"

"Yes," Emmeryn said with a small smile. "There's one more thing. There's something I would like to offer you. If you want, you can stay here until your wounds heal. Then you can leave if you want."

"That's a kind offer. I'll take you up on that,"

"Then it's official! You are our guest for the time being."

"Oh, yes, before I forget. Thank you for taking care of my wounds."

"You're welcome."
