WARNING: Contains spoilers to Fire Emblem Awakening.

I do not own Fire Emblem

Walking through the now dark forest where little moonlight could reach us, Lissa stops, causing the rest of us to stop. And here we go...

Lissa looks around abit, before going: "Ug! I told you, it's getting dark now! We should've stayed at the village!" Buzzings could be heard as a few flying insects flew around the irritated Lissa. "EEP! Now the bugs are out! Noisy, disgusting bugs that crawl all over you and bite you when you- WAG!" She started to cough up a storm, while exclaiming: "Wah! Won goph in mah mouph!"

I couldn't help but giggle at Lissa, once again enjoying this.

"Come now, Lissa. It isn't THAT bad!" I said.

"Besides, hardship builds character," Chrom adds.

Lissa eventually stops coughing, then said: "Ug! I think I've built QUITE enough character for ONE day!"

Minus the hoots and buzzings of the forest, there was silence for some moments. "Hmm," I went. "I don't know about you guys." It's a small lie. I repeat in my thoughts several times as I was saying that part. "But I'm starving," I finish.

"Yes. I would think that a little hunting and gathering is in order," Frederick replies to my comment. "We should also set up camp. It might be best if we split up the work."

"Chorm and I can go hunting, if it's not a problem with you," I said.

"So you can stab him in the back when I'm not looking? No." Frederick replies.

"I said IF it's not a problem with you!"

"It's fine if I go alone," Chrom cuts in.

This is going to take awhile...

Finally, after what seems like forever, we decided Chrom gets the meat while me, Frederick, and Lissa sets up camp. I much rather be helping Chrom, but this works too.

Opening the tome, I feel the powerful magic of the thunder tome pulse through my being, before I send it out as a powerful blast to light the sticks and stones that'll be the bonfire. And just in time, too. Chrom comes back with just enough meat for the four of us to share. He gave a smile at the lit bonfire, before sitting on a log we've ready before hand.

I gave a smile myself before sitting next to Chrom. Looks like Lissa and Frederick are sitting on the same log...again.

As I wait for the meat to cook, I think about how, or why, I came back in time. Again, it was better than dieing, but still...

Chrom, breaking me out of my thoughts, hands me some of the cooked meat. I take it gratefully, and I start to eat it. ...Which eventually turned to digging in...again. What can I say? It's good bear meat.

"He, it's been way too long since I've last had bear meat," Chrom said. "...What's wrong Lissa? Dig in."

"Pass! Chrom, honestly, why can't you spare us an animal NORMAL people eat for once? Who eats bear, anyways?!"

"Milady, every experience makes us stronger, even the ones we don't enjoy," Frederick replies.

"Then why don't I see YOU eating it, Frederick?" Lissa countered.

"Me? Well, I'm not hungry. I-I had a large lunch. Yes, quite large," Frederick replies with a weak chuckle.

"Yeah right, Frederick!"

"..." I look over at Chrom, who was still up. "...Can't sleep?"

"Hmm?" He looks over at me, before his expression softens abit ( but it's still intense ). "Gamer... Actually, yes." He gets up, before walking over to a sleeping Lissa, shaking her awake.

"Hmm?" The sleepy girl groans out. She opens her eyes sleepily, looking at Chrom. "Chrom? What's wrong?"

"Forgive me, but...something is amiss," Chrom replies.

"Define 'something'," Lissa replies back.

Chrom shook his head. "I don't know what, or how to define it, but I'm going to see what it is."

"Not alone, you're not!" Lissa exclaims, jolting up from her makeshift bed.

"You can count me in, too!" I exclaim as I got up, having a fierce look of determination on my face.

"You two..." Chrom says as he looks at both of us, before smiling. "Thank you."

We walk deeper in the forest, the fire that's lit getting dimmer with every step we take. To me, there's an eerie feeling in the air, like something could happen at any given moment...

"It's quiet... Abit too quiet, if you ask me," Lissa said. "And it's way too dark, too."

"I don't like this one bit," Chrom replies while turning to me and Lissa.

Suddenly, the ground begins shaking. I'm struggling just to keep my balance to where I'm using a tree for support, but that helps little with this type of shaking. It's a mirical how I kept my balance the last time this happened.

"Gods! What in the-Lissa! Gamer! Stay close!" Chrom exclaims through all the shaking.

You don't have to tell me twice, Chrom! Lissa's in Chrom's embrace, at which I can't help but feel incredibly jealous, while the earth starts to crack.

"Lissa, run," Chrom says calmly.

"Hm?"

"I mean it, GO!" He repeats again as he pushes Lissa away. "Gamer, follow us!"

Again, you don't have to tell me that twice, Chrom.

With Chrom, I begin running, barely avoiding the flames that shot up from the rising ground. This is NOT natural! Eventually, we're in a wide open area ( well, as wide open as a forest will allow ), catching our breaths. Lissa looks up to the sky, pointing while asking: "Chrom, Gamer, what IS that?!" as a giant blue eye opens.

Risen comes out of the eye, groaning while they do, before landing on the ground and getting up. They still groan as the look up at us, their eyes flashing as they look at us.

"Lissa, you better stand back," Chrom replies, unsheltering Falchion. One of the Risen runs towards Chrom, getting ready to strike, but Chrom was quicker and sliced it in its midsection. However, it turned its head one hundred and eighty digresses to look at Chrom, swinging its ax at Chrom, which Chrom blocks easily with his sword. "Gamer, do you know anything about them that'll be useful?"

"They're called-WAH!" I start, but was cut short when the other Risen swung its ax at me. I dodge quickly, reading my tome. But it seems to have lost intrust in me as it walked over to Lissa, infront of Lissa where if I shoot lightning magic, I'd get her, too. Naga, why?! If I send lightning through the Risen, there's a good chance I could kill her! Why?!

"Lissa!" Chrom exclaims and runs to ( hopefully ) save her.

However, a "man" who looks similar to Prince Marth, but with a mask, lands on the ground, closer to Lissa than Chrom is, and runs to Lissa, his sword behind his head. As the Risen brings down its ax, the man stops infront of Lissa, his sword blocking the ax from going down any father.

Chrom stops at the sight of him, at which the other looks to Chrom, demanding help.

Chrom replies with a "...Right," and runs to the Risen, his sword ready to go through its midsection. This caught the Risen off guard, allowing both Chrom and the male to slice the Risen at the same time. The Risen drops its ax, groaning while disappearing in purple smoke.

The male shelters his sword, his back towards me, Chrom, and Lissa.

"That's quite an entrance," Chrom says. "What's your name?"

The male didn't reply. Instead, he leaves just as Frederick comes, on his horse and all.

"Milord! Milady!" Frederick exclaims.

"Frederick!" Lissa exclaims back in a near terrified voice.

"Milady, are you hurt in any way?" Frederick asks.

Lissa shook her head no.

"Thank the gods," Frederick replies, relieved.

"Thank the masked man who saved me!" Lissa exclaims.

"As much as I hate cutting in, we should focus on the problem at hand!" I exclaim.

"Right!" The others exclaim, getting their weapons ready.

Me: * smiles *
