I don't own fire emblem, but I do own this book. You know, I think i'm done with girls for now... seriously. (no i'm not going homo)my psyco bitch of a girlfriend, first cheated on me, then kicked me for now reason. I dunno guys... why must women be so cruel to me! Anyway, enough of that, lets get down to business. Sorry if the chaps not good. My brother, who's inspecting my story, keeps getting on me, about how we don't need a beta reader, and crap like that, sooooooooo sorry. He forced me too.

The first thing I thought after waking up, after a fierce battle was... Ow my head hurts! My eyes flew open, only to be closed again by the searing pain in my head. Slowing sitting up, I tried to focus on just staying awake.

"Ugh... what hit me?" I asked myself. Then I remembered. I fought Ike, and ended up like this. At least Ike was fair enough just to tkae one of my tags. Finally getting the strength to lift myself up, I trudged my way to the stream next to me, and looked at my reflection in the glimmering water. My silver hair, had a long streak of blood, oozing its way down my head. If Ike had hit me any harder, I probably would've had an concussion. I used my long cloak to wipe away most of the blood.

"What to do..." I muttered to myself. I wanted to leave so badly, yet Dante would find me like he always does, and its never usually pretty afterwards.

Suddenly I heard a sharp ruffle in the woods. Thinking fast, I went for my blade, but whoever it was, tackled me, and pinned me down, trapping me with his knee to my stomach. Whoever was doing that was wearing a cloak, and dark blue, leather plated armor. Under the cloak, revealed blue hair, meaning...

"Chrom?" I gasped. Not from the surprise, but the fact that he had his armor plated knee on my chest.

"Yes..." Chrom said. His knee slowly risen off my chest, giving room for air. As soon as I was done gasping for whatever air their was, before i noticed who I was in front of right now. Jumping back, I Waved my arms at him again, hoping he'd disperse into the air, like an awful dream.

"No no no no no! Please don't hurt me! I... just... Accident... ugh..." I yelled.

He raised his hand, and I winced. This is it! My last stand... in the middle of a forest... alone... dammit this is a bad place to die!

"Peace... friend..." He muttered. It sounded like he really didn't want to be here, and I didn't blame him. We didn't really meet in a good way, and his daughter didn't really help our friendship. "I need your help."

His word drove a stake into my heart. Last time I helped him, his daughter got taken, all because I was weak. "I really think you need someone else. maybe someone like, Dante... or Ike? Hell Kai would be better."

"Well, I need you..." Chrom said. "Slade asked for you personally."

I was shocked. "He asked for me?" My voice was stained in disbelief. Why would Slade want me? I know that I was his brother, but last I checked, he's a lot more powerful than I was. He didn't even use his skills.

"Yes... for a duel..." He managed.

A duel... well... i'm doomed... again... Is there a time when i'm not in trouble?

"A duel? Why me? Why not you? Your more capable against an opponent." I retorted.

"Yes, I know, but he offered me a deal, If you win... he'll give back Lucina, unharmed, except from the scratches from the battle. He will also offer you a piece of information about youse-" I stopped him right their. That sounded to good to be true, the fact that i'd be able to get another piece of information about myself, but i'll be able to redeem myself about losing her in the first place.

"WHAT?! bu- but... what if I lose?" "I asked, sweat poring off my brow like a river.

"Well... he'll keep her... and like he did before, we'll never see each-other again." He said with sadness in his eyes.

"No... he can't... but how did you find him?" I asked.

"Risen are attacking again, their at the tournament. If we run from hear we should be able to reach the arena in under an hour." And with that, I sprinted in the direction his showed. Before exiting the clearing, I spotted something, apparently Ike didn't find the prize, it was a long killing edge like blade, with a jagged edge, sharp and devilish, I knew what it was. It was a blade that stood above many others. It was the superior edge.

I picked it up from the ground, and it shined in the moonlight, like a pale blue rod. Sheathing it, I continued to run, out of the forest, our of the challenge. Its been nice Dante, but i've got a mission. We ran for a few hours before I felt the ugly hand of exhaustion, clutch around my body, making me fall down to the ground. Chrom wasn't too close behind. He fell to his knees and gasped for my breath.

"Its best *huff* that we take *huff* a break..." Chrom gasped.

I nodded, and wiped the sweat off my brow. We set up camp, and went for a hunt. I managed to slash down a bear, and bring it to camp. As we ate, we never talked. He only munched on his bear meat, and stared down at the flames.

"Listen, all that stuff was a freaking accident okay?" I started.

"Yes... but with my daughter, I can't take that from anybody." He muttered, not even looking up at me.

"I'm sorry okay... i'm sorry, just talk to me dammit..." I muttered. He didn't even move. I just shook my head, layed down, with my back to him.

"Thank you..."

I turned my head, and saw chrom, his saddened face finally looking at me.

"Thank you for taking this risk, and i'm sure my daughter forgives you know. Your taking such a huge risk for us, so I thank you" He said. I didn't know what to say so I only smiled, and looked back down.

"No problem sir..." I muttered. "No problem at all..."

Several Hours later...

We'd made it too the arena by Sunrise, and I already knew their was trouble. The arena was covered in flames, with people running out, screaming for their lives. Both Chrom and I made our way in, and strait into a fight. I launched lightning bolts against the ax wielding foes, and Sliced up the myrmidon that followed. I risen knight stood in front of me, blocking my way.

"Get out of MY WAY!" I yelled, slashing through the armor of the masses, and ended on the other side. Looking back at chrom, I saw him fighting off these demons, with no remorse, using skills that i've never seen before.

"Go!" He yelled.

I nodded, and ran into the building. The once grand hallways, were littered in flames and ash. Dead bodies piled the floor, and there odor stank out the halls. I trekked through the blazing walls, and the body filled caverns until I finally found the fighting ground.

"Well... look who it is?" I heard a nonchalant voice behind me, along with the with the wind parting. I spun out of the way, as a knife impaled itself into the floor. Two more daggers flew at me, I flipped out the way of one, and caught one out of the air, throwing it at the direction of the daggers. It impaled itself into the wall, as Slade finally made his way out.

"Not bad kid... Shall we begin?" He started. He was clad in mercenary armor, His white, somewhat spiked hair, flopped over his face.

I nodded and drew my superior edge.

Well thats it for now... review me, later!
