WARNING: Contains spoilers to Fire Emblem Awakening.
I do not own Fire Emblem
I don't know who's luckier: Me or Chrom. Basically, mine and Chrom's yelling woke up everyone who was near-by, including Frederick. The great knight got out of his room and grabbed the piece of wood I was trying to hit Chrom with.
All I can say is that breakfast was very quiet.
At the moment, I'm in my room, packing for the march to Regna Ferox. I look at the book I left on the table, before picking it up and putting it in my pack. I know I'm gonna need that, it has some of my tactics in it!
"Tome, check. My bronze sword," I pause to make sure that my bronze sword is by my side, only to realize it's still in the training room. "Got to get it."
I put down the checklist on the table, opening the door to my room (I had it close cause I needed my privacy) and going down to the room where I was so rudely insulted. My bronze sword was fairly easy to spot, so I walk over to it and grab it, putting it on the holder on my side and walking back to my room.
I pick up the checklist, checking off the spot for my bronze sword.
As I finish making sure I got everything, Frederick comes in.
"Gamer, are you done?" He ask.
"Yeah," I reply. "Just making sure I got everything."
Leaving Ylissetol, we start the long march that's ahead of us. For the time being, me and Chrom are avoiding each other, with Chrom ahead of us and me at the very back.
"So, how long do you think this'll take?" Sumia asks me, before tripping over a pebble.
I help her up, replying: "I don't know." Then I added: "I hope you don't trip so often during the trip."
"Yeah, me too," she replies, taking a pebble that was in her boot out. "Those pebbles get annoying after a while."
I giggle at the comment. "Maybe I can support you for the time being."
"That...sounds pretty good, actually," Sumia replies, bringing her arm around my neck.
Risen. So d*mn many.
...
I take that comment back.
At this point, Sumia's staying as far back as possible while me, Chrom, and Frederick battle the Risen (With Sully, Stahl, and Virion's help as well, of course). Vaike, for some unknown reason, lost his ax and is back with Sumia.
I bring my sword out from its holder on my side, hitting the Risen in front of me with the handle, before striking the bronze blade through the undead. I then move the blade through its head, causing it to disappear in purple smoke.
"Gamer, behind you!" Chrom yells.
I quickly turn my head to see the approaching Risen.
"Aw, come on!" I yell, slicing through its mid-section. Of course, it blocks my attack with its ax. But then it suddenly disappears, an ax on the ground in front of me. "EEP!" I exclaim, jumping back to avoid getting attacked. Of course, I see the ax's owner, which relief floods my being.
"Sorry, Gamer. Didn't mean to surprise ya like that," Vaike says, pulling the ax back.
"It's fine," I reply.
I turn around to see the rest of the Risen gone. Vaike groans, saying: "Come ON! Teach needs some practice! Ya couldn't leave a few of those things for me to pound?"
"If you had your ax, you wouldn't have had to miss so much of the battle," Frederick replies.
Well, with the Risen done, we start walking again.
The further north we go, the colder it gets.
"Hm? What do we have here?" Chrom asks, walking up to the Pegasus that's laying down.
"Is it really...?" Lissa chimes in, getting closer to the Pegasus.
"It is, milady," Frederick replies.
"Hey there... I'm Lissa," Lissa says, about to touch the Pegasus.
The Pegasus neighed and got up quickly, stomping around. Lissa, startle from what I could tell, quickly runs behind Frederick. The Pegasus, in response, got back down, calming down somewhat.
"That thing is crazed!" Chrom exclaims.
"C-captain, I-I might be able to calm it down," Sumia chimes in.
She takes her arm off the back of my neck, walking over to the hurt Pegasus slowly. "Shh, easy now girl, I won't hurt you." She touches its snout, before getting closer to hug it.
"Woah! It sure picked a favorite fast," Lissa says, peeking from behind Frederick.
"I-I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding, Lissa," Sumia replies, stroking the Pegasus's mane.
"You sure do have a way with animals, Sumia," Chrom says.
"Listen, I'll be here for a while. Why don't you all go ahead without me while I treat to the Pegasus's wounds," Sumia asks.
"We can wait, Sumia," Chrom replies.
"Chrom, when Ylisse is in trouble, every moment is priceless. Plus, I insist," Sumia reply.
"You sure?" Chrom asks.
"Yeah," she replies with a smile. "I'll catch up when I can."
"Ok, just be careful, Sumia," Chrom replies.
"I will."
By now, it was night-time when we reach where the meadow turns to snow. Everyone agrees to stop for the night and starts to unpack, myself included.
One thing that surprises me is that everyone packed firewood. Then again, I should've seen that coming. ...Lissa even brought the rocks.
We all set up the fire-place, lighting the d*mn thing in the cold, which was near impossible cause of the countless, countless times the wind has blown it out, before it eventually lit up.
We all got pieces of meat that we each cook up, and start eating.
"Mm, bear meat, Chrom?" I ask.
"Yeah," Chrom replies.
After the dinner, we all fell asleep, but... I didn't. I'm still up, sitting up on my "bed" for the time being, before sighing and getting up and out of my tent. I watch the snow that's falling on the snowy side, but... I also see a figure. I rub my eyes, looking again, the figure still there.
"What the?" I ask myself, walking over to the figure.
However, as I got closer, the figure would back away. Eventually, I stop, and stare at the figure.
"Who are you?" I ask.
Nothing.
"Why are you here?!" I exclaim.
The figure then runs off, and I gave chase. As I run after the figure, the camp gets further away from my sight, until I can't see it anymore. I stop eventually to catch my breath, shivering as I did.
"...Why did you chase me?"
I give a small yelp, before turning around to see the figure was behind me. Now that I could see the figure, I could tell that it was a male, just around my age and height, wearing a mask similar, if not identical, to Marth's. He had his hood up, covering his hair and something similar to a cape. His shirt was blue with gold linings at the neck, and his pants were white with gold linings and brown gloves on. By his side was a sword, but I couldn't tell which one it was.
...I'm surprise he isn't shivering, cause I'm shivering like crazy.
"I...I don't know..." was my reply.
"So you chased me for the h*ll of it?" He asks.
"No..." I reply.
"...Here," he says, taking off the hood and the cape part attached to it and puts it around me.
I give a small gasp at the color of his hair. "Y-your hair! I-it's-" I start.
"Steel blue like your's?" He finishes in the form of a question.
"Y-yes!" I reply.
He smirks, before pushing me. "Come on, I better get you back to your campsite."
Me: Who could this person be...?
Enjoy and Review,
