I was about to play my favorite game: Fire Emblem. I slid the Path of Radiance disk into the Wii as my cousin sat down. Grabbing the controller, I sat down as well, eager to play the game.
It was Chapter 29 -- Endgame. On the first turn, I had Tanith call in three reinforcements.
I immediately noticed something was amiss with one of these allies. What, you may ask? Well, instead of riding a Pegasus, the amazingly tall blonde was mounted on a white horse. She also wielded a sword, unlike the other two, whom wielded lances.
As soon as "Partner Phase" flashed across the screen, the woman rode over to Bryce, a general, and attacked.
I nearly choked and Ashley looked as if she couldn't believe her eyes when we saw the battle quote. It read:
"I am Bryce, general of Daein!"
"Yeah? Well Presto, Change-o, You didn't eat your Mango!"
She raised her "Mole Sword" into the air, reflecting light from it, and brought it back down, defeating Bryce in one hit.
"I have… been defeated…," gasped Bryce, as the rest of the troops stared at the scene in shock. Even General Ike could not bring Bryce down that easily!
"Never underestimate the power of mangoes!"
Ashley and I exchanged glances as my mom walked into the room, looking at the television.
"That's Kristen Willeumier from The Mole!" she exclaimed.
I was still too stunned to move. That was probably the strangest thing that had ever happened to me before…
