Oh crap.
I was NOT expecting that!
24 hours after I uploaded my first chapter, I got 15 followers, 1 favorite and 3 positive reviews.
Yeah... I didn't knew that self-insert fanfics were that popular.
So, here's another shorter chapter. In this one, we'll meet a character that you probably weren't expecting to see right at the beginning of the story.

Oh. But before that, here's a little something about me.

I'm French-Canadian.

My first language is french, so that might explain the bad phrasings occurring in my texts.

Now that this has been cleared out, on to the show!


They took me inside a small abandoned barn.
You know that feeling when you bang your head too much and you get so dizzy that you're about to puke.
Yeah. I felt like that when I saw my reflection on that shield.
If I would have answered the elder's questions, I probably would have thrown up the apples that I ate this morning…
And yeah… I don't like wasting food.
Especially "stolen food".

But I never stole food before…

The old villager saw that I was under shock after his revelation.
They tied me to a mast and locked me inside this barn.
I couldn't make anything of what the people around me were saying.
I only remember Dell's harsh expression staring at me.
And Donnell…
I think that he was just as confused as I was…
But without the whole 'Oh-I'm-in-a-video-game-now' shocker.

I guess I should thank the old man for giving me some space and time to think things through.
… Though, I would have preferred not to have my body and arms strap to one of the mast of the barn with a huge cord.

So.
I'm a manakete.
Yeah. Right. I know that already.
Less focus on the what and more focus on the where!
I woke up on the island where Donnell's village is located.
Which is to the east-south of Ylisse.
But… something is amiss…
Actually, it's more like something is here that's not supposed to…

"Dell!..."

Donnell's father! He's dead!
Or… actually… some raiders attacked the village and killed Dell because he tried to stop them.
Now that I've seen the men in the flesh, I sure guess that he gave the raiders a hard time…
But… he's alive.
And the raiders…

"Oh crap…"

They're gonna attack the village.
When?
In how much time?
They could be attacking right now and I wouldn't know it.

Nah. They wouldn't.
Those bandits will attack the village just before the Shepards arrive on the island.
And since Robin will only wake up in about three months, there's plenty of time to prepare the village for the assault.
Actually, I could just write to the Shepards in Ylisse for reinforcements and…

What?

Did I?

Just say?

"Three months."

Robin will only wake up in three months…

Did I just made that up in my mind?

Is that just wishful thinking?

No…

I KNOW that Chrom will find Robin in the field in exactly three months…

But… why?

It's like someone just implanted this information in my mind.

"You have three months to prepare yourself. Get ready for the events to come."

Someone told me that…

Okay.
Recap.
In more than three months, bandits will come bargin' on the village.
Many villagers will die, including Donnell's father.
But this time, it's different.
Someone knows that a bunch of raiders are coming.
And that person is a manakete.
AND that manakete…

"Is me.", I say with a grin.

"Psst!"

Huh? What…

"Psst! Over here!"

A young lady is addressing me through one of the windows behind me.
I turn my head toward the voice, but all I can see is the mast.

"Um… hello?"

Smooth talking, man.

"I'm here to help you get outta here!"

"G-… Get me outta here?"

But I just arrived…
I steal some apples and now someone I don't know wants to break me out?
I'm definitely getting on the village's naughty list…

I can hear the person behind me jump from the window and getting closer.

"Keep it down, please! There are men guarding the front door…"

I hear a scratch.
My lady-savior is cutting the cords off.
But…... who is it?
I should know this voice… right?

"There!"

The restraint around my chest loosen up.
Phew! It was tighter than I thought.

"Thanks!" I whisper to my savio-

"Nah?"

In front of me, the little manakete girl is staring at me with sparkles in her eyes.
Holy crap, it IS her!

The pointy ears, the braids, that small stature, that flimsy looking body…
She's not wearing her usual garment, though. Having replaced her usual crimson cloak for a grey one.
And now… the most important…
Her hair!
What's the color of her hair?

Chestnut.

Chestnut…
Who has chestnut colored hair?
Frederick?
Seems that way…
So, Frederick is her father.
No. Wait. Frederick's hair are darker than that…
Gregor, then?...
Aw crap…
But that's the easy pairing!

"Uncle…"

Hunh?
Oh right. Nah.
I was forgetting about the fact that she's right in front of m-
Wait, "uncle"?

Without even a warning, the manakete girl jumps at my chest and grabs me with her arms.

"Uncle Gim!"


Unh?

"I can't believe we're finally meeting, uncle Gim!"

I…
What?
Gim?
Uncle?
Uncle Gim?
What?

I stare at Nah's face and she rises her's toward mine.
Tears are dripping from her cheeks and her lips are trembling.
Oh my god, she's so adorable.

"Nah… I… Uh… wait. 'Uncle Gim'?"

"Oh. Yeah. Sorry!"

She lets go of me, wipes off the tears from her eyes and looks at me with a shining smile.

"We gotta get out of here! I'll explain everything later!"

Good idea actually.

"Right. Lead the way!"

WHAM!
The doors of the barn fly open and the two man guarding the establishment sees me and Nah trying to escape the place.
… I guess we DID forget to keep it down, uh?

"THE THIEF IS ESCAPING!"
"THE- THERE'S ANOTHER DEMON HELPING HIM!"

Oh schnitzen.

"Uncle! Get behind me!"

Wait, what is she thinki-
Oh yeah.
She's a manakete.
And she brought her little sphere friend with her.

Nah raises up her Dragon Stone and the most amazing of sight lays before my eyes.
The little girl gets her body enveloped with large pink petals coming from under her feet.
The two mans in front of her has their facial expressions turned to confusion.
I don't blame them.
I have seen this scene happening thousands of time on my 3DS screen…
And even I am amazed of seeing it in person.

When the flower blooms, a pink dragon twice my size appears right in the middle of the barn.
The peasants can't help pointing their pitch-fork at the manakete with their shaking knees, but it doesn't take much to scare them away.
Nah rises on her two feet and looks down at the two mans.

"It's squashing time!" she roars.

With a scream, the guards flee the barn, running toward the village.
Poor guys.
I feel sorry for them.

"Hop on, uncle!"

"Alright!"

Without giving any thought, I hop on Nah's back.

And now that I gave it a thought, I can't help but feel reaaally guilt-ridden about it.

"Hang on!"

The young dragon starts running out of the barn.
The rocking motion reminds me of the time I rode a horse when I was twelve years old.
Only this time, the horse just scared two grown man away.
And that horse is a dragon.
And that dragon is my niece, somehow.
And she's probably going to fly at any second no-
Oh! There we go!
Oh crap.
Oh crap!
OH CRAP!

"Oh crap…"
"You okay, uncle?"
"… Are we there yet?"
"Ha ha! You're so funny!"

No seriously.

"Where are you taking me?" I shout at my… 'niece?'.
"For now, far away from the angry villagers!"

Figured.
I shyly take a peek down.
Damn. We're already so high in the sky.
But I can see some shadows holding torches and running in the same direction as us.
But they stop just before entering the forest.
Did they gave up on us?
Well, since it's the night…
And it's dark…
And we're flyi-
OH GEE WE'RE FLYING!
This 'subtle' reminder makes me grab on Nah's neck again.

"I think they abandoned pursuit." I inform the young manakete.
"Great! Now we can go to the rendezvous point!" she replies.

'Rendezvous point'?
Whatever. The sooner I touch the ground the better.

At a low velocity of speed, preferably…
