Author: luminious
Rating: T
Word Count: 900 (300 Words per Numeral)
Characters/Pairings: Petra Macneary/Dorothea Arnault (DoroPetra)
Warnings: Descriptions of war casualties, colonization, and oppression of an island nation, for anyone not comfortable with that.
Summary:

Pale and clad with silver gear, strange weapons filled with magic not gifted from spirits or formed from shamanism but instead an unknown—ominous—source, their spells emitting sparks and essences that even amidst their different hues and colors manifest uncomfortably bleak...

Even with all the sharp knives and spears at their disposal and secret traps in case of an attack her country falls, corpses of men and women covered in dried blood almost the same shade as their intricate tribal markings, Petra's father among them, her mother alive but marred.

At the very least, Petra's grandfather survives without harm—

He screams out her name as strange men drag her into their gigantic, treasure-filled ship.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fire Emblem: Three Houses, nor am I or will I ever profit from this work.
