"Hey! Hello? Are you awake?", a distant voice called out to me from somewhere.

I slowly opened my eyes in an attempt to fight back my groggy head, and do my best to sit up. As my eyes began to adjust, I can make out a red-haired person's figure getting closer.

"Are you alright? Can you stand up?", the figure continued to ask with a feminine voice.

"Uughh…let's see", I groan and slowly stand up, my headache fading and my vision clear enough to see a temple made of gray stone and an entire wall etched with glowing red, blue and green stones, all arranged in a circle pattern. The figure in front of me turned out to be a girl dressed in what looked like a fancy uniform. I mean she had a white top with fancy golden shoulder pad, collar, and symbol that reached down to her golden skirt. On top of that, she had long brown boots encased with guards of the same golden design. Not to mention her very red hair was tied up with a pony tail to the side and I might be seeing things but I could swear her eyes were a similar color. Wait a second...why is this girl cosplaying as Anna from Heroes?

"Oooh! You're here? Then the ritual actually worked?", the girl smiled, then cleared her throat, "Ahem... Oh Great Hero from another world! Thou hast come so far to fulfill your role in our legend!"

I look at the girl, dumbfounded. Me? A hero? I take a quick look at myself to find I'm wearing a similar uniform to her too and hood over me. When did I start wearing this exactly?

She went on, "For our kingdom now stands on the very brink of ruin, and thou... And thou... Hold on. Are you really our Great Hero? You don't look like the thee-and-thou type."

I rubbed the back of my head before muttering to myself, "Well you're not wrong..." I then spoke up so she could hear me, " So where are we again and how?" The young lady tapped her finger on her chin before answering, "What's that? You want to know where you are? And how you got here? Fair enough. You're in-"

FOUND YOU! Both of us look to where we heard a voice that rudely interrupted our conversation. At a distance, some guy I think dressed like a solder in a pattern not far from the woman who found me but with a color scheme of black, gold, and green with a winged helmet covering most of his face from view. The most pressing issue, however, was the axe in his hand that looked ready to swing at us!

The girl next to me remarked, "Drat! How did one of those Emblians get here already? Stand back! I'll take care of him somehow!" Then she pulled from her back an axe with an iron head and came in front of me. "How good is your tactical prowess in a fight?" she asked me. "What was that?" This lady then just gave me a sly smile and a wink before finishing, "I hope you know how to direct me. Let's put it to the test, shall we?" Before I could respond she dashed ahead of me towards our attacker.

Just my luck, now Anna (?) is about to fight some axe murderer and I can't call anyone for help. I definitely don't want to get killed but booking it and leaving her there doesn't feel right and keeps me there despite the growing tension and fear welling up inside. I look on my person for anything that to help in this situation and feel something in my pocket. I pull it out and find my LG Stylo 3 I got a month ago. Yes! I could call for help with my cell phone, I just hope they get bars out here!

As soon as I turn it on the first thing I hear is "Fire Emblem!", the song that blares whenever the game begins. Then instead of what it normally does the screen suddenly went the map of the first field in the game, which just happens to be the same we are in. I find chibi icons representing myself, Anna, and the axe fighter with the latter two moving toward each other. Touching each of our icons reveals classifications, strengths and weaknesses, weaponry information and unlike the game, proper text boxes slide and disappear where I point and the edges scroll when I swipe in any directions. Whatever happened to this thing was amazing. I can survey the whole battlefield in the same omnipotent way the game itself did back home, actually a little bit better. Despite the sudden coolness of this revelation, the sounds of combat ahead snap me back to our current situation.

The fighter charged the commander, weapon drawn. Anna twisted as the soldier struck, using her axe to deflect his blow. Then, carried by the momentum of her sharp turn, she swung out her axe, tearing at his side since he had gotten too close. Staggering back from his wounds, I suddenly shouted, "Quick! Aim for his legs!" With that, she took my advice and made the soldier trip by kicking his leg before he could recover. With the opponent prone, Anna ended it by bringing her axe down on his head. I glanced at my phone to see the Anna icon had attacked the axe fighter making him disappear from the map at the same time. I put it back in my pocket after that, to keep it secret for now. After pulling her axe out of him and me pulling back a bit from someone who just hacked some guy up, she relaxed before saying:

"Whew! We took care of him. My name's Anna. I'm the commander of the Order of Heroes.

We believe that Heroes should live free. Our enemies, however, enslave them-the fiends."

I think to myself about what I just heard, she said her name was Anna like the character she was playing. Then again I don't think that was live-action roleplay just now. Putting those thoughts aside, I asked, "Okay then, makes sense. But what about where I landed?

She continued "This realm has gateways to the worlds where Heroes come from. Have you heard of the World of Awakening? How about the World of Birthright? Or the World of Conquest? There are so many more! The Emblian Empire invades those worlds and binds their Heroes to service. We fight for their freedom!"

This is definitely all playing out like the game Fire Emblem Heroes I got a month or two ago. I should be more shocked at something like this but I feel a vague sense like I knew this would happen. Weird. "I'm guessing that guy you took out was part of that Emblia you were talking about?"

Anna nodded and continued, "That soldier was from the Emblian Empire, which will soon invade our neighboring kingdom Askr. I was desperate for help. I performed a summoning ceremony. And you just appeared out of nowhere. Lucky us! But there's no time to rest. We have to act fast if we're going to save our kingdom!"

Hold on, what now? I try to say but she's already dashing to somewhere else. Well since I don't want anybody else coming after me I suppose I might as well stick with her and play along for the time being.

It would make more sense if this was just some crazy axe wielder taking her cosplay way too seriously but... I mean what happened to the phone was just too spot on to be faked. I need a bit more before to start falling for it but could this actually be the game world. And if that is the case then this Anna better be a good judge of character cause I'm really not sure if I can get us through this without getting hurt or killed.

AN: Thank you for reading the beginning of this, my first fanfic. So writing this character gave me the freedom to feel how I think that the summoner in the game should react if they allowed him (or her) to talk. I also wanted to incorporate the cellphone map into the story and luckily a few things in other media inspired me. To me, Fire Emblem Heroes has huge fanfic potential so with the arrival of ver. 2.0, I thought now is as good as time as any to start. Since the plot is pretty straightforward, I'm focusing more of my energy on the tone and characterization, especially for the OC. Wish me luck that I don't go on hiatus after 3 chapters.
