So this is something I have started over one year ago, meaning I will propably edit it soon. Anyway, enjoy! :D I don´t own Fire Emblem Awakening or any of its used characters, names or elements. I only own this story and my own characters. Cover not by me. Ruth had always dreamed. Dreamed about mastering the art of sword fighting. Dreamed about leaving her hometown. Dreamed about staying by her best friends side. But never about the flames that consumed her life within only a few hours, and the bandits that came with them. Never about the death of her best friend, or the loss of her freedom and everything else she had treasured. But when she crosses paths with a group of elite fighters, known as the shepherds, under the lead of a Prince and an unknown tactician, her life takes yet another turn. But sometimes turns are just not enough to forget the past....
