A/N: A RWBY/Fire Emblem crossover story. With the fact that I'm slowly running out of ideas for Grima's Influence, I might as well try writing something else. That said, please enjoy. Also, written in first-person.

I felt a light breeze tickling my cheeks as I slowly opened my eyes. A ray of light beamed at my field of vision and I instinctively covered my eyes with my hand. Once my eyes adjusted to the brightness, I can see this odd mark on the back of my hand. Confused, I got up from the ground and looked down at it before I noticed my surroundings.

I was on the ground in the middle of a forest. I looked around for a moment before I felt something when I place my hand down. I looked and saw a yellow book with a symbol of what appears to be a spear. Picking it up, there was also something written on it.

"Thor...on...?" I read out loud. Shaking my thoughts of the book, I quickly got up before I started walking. Granted, I have no idea where I am or where I'm going is a safe route. What mostly was eye-catching was the vibrant red leaves of the trees. I must've stared at them for a moment while I was walking.

A moment later, something sounded from afar caught my attention. I hid behind a tree and peeked out to see what made the noise. My eyes widened a little when I saw these creatures. They werewolf-like and had black fur with these white plates covering some parts of their bodies, eyes glowing red like they could be seen in the dark.

There was something off about the creatures and I tried to back off when I realized my hand was stuck on the tree. A sticky sap-like substance oozed from the bark before I managed to pry my hand from it, causing me to trip and fall on my rear. I winced in pain when I heard growling. Looking back at the wolves, they were looking at my direction.

I froze in fear as one slowly approached. My eyes were kept on its glaring gaze before it stood on its hind legs. I could feel my heart pounding with anxiety as I pushed myself off the ground and ran. I don't even need to look back as I heard howling and something following me. I just kept running, not wanting to lose my life after waking up with no memories at all.

My legs were starting to feel numb and my breathing became heavier. I only ran a few distances before I fell and landed onto the ground. Looking back, the wolf was only about a meter away before it jumped with its claws ready. I braced for the hit as I held the book I had forward, hoping that the wolf's pounce would be stopped by it.

That's when I heard something whizzing by and a pained howl following it. I looked back and saw the wolf was gone from where it was before. Then I turned and saw it there, on the ground with its body disintegrating.

"What in Oum's name are you doing here?" A feminine voice spoke.

I faced where the voice came from and saw a woman walking towards me. Her expression was stern and mature-like due to her thin glasses and she held a riding crop in her hand. Her tall figure towered over mine when I stood up and noticed the height difference.

"Why are you in this area? And alone, nonetheless!" She scolded, her piercing emerald-green eyes glared at me. "Forever Fall is no place for a child such as yourself to be at!"

I could only stutter as my fear soon turned to relief and felt my eyes burning with tears. My first move was to run up and hug the woman, much to her surprise.

"I-I... was so scared..." I cried, hiccuping each word as I bawled my eyes out.

I could hear her sigh and I felt her gently patting my head.
