Lucina | Fire Emblem: Awakening | Scenario 1

Lucina considers herself adaptable, but when she is handed a key and is told to 'go for a test drive,' she isn't quite sure how to react. Sitting in front of her is what looks like an oddly-shaped, metal box. It appears to be on wheels, though the wheels are not made out of wood - metal, and something black and springy to the touch, when she finally moves close enough to examine them. Clear windows reveal a surprisingly plush-looking interior. It must be some kind of wagon, although Lucina also sees no obvious means to attach it to a horse. It also seems far too heavy for the average horse to pull. Really, a cart made entirely of metal? Even a wyvern would probably strain itself dangerously.

However, a key is something Lucina does understand. Her exploration of the cart's exterior nets her the keyhole. She inserts the key, and a door on the side unlocks. She leaves the door open as she tentatively sits in the closest seat. The front of the wagon is covered with what appears to be strange measuring devices, and directly in front of her is a wheel. It somehow reminds her of the steering wheel of a ship. She gently tries to turn it but it does not budge.

Then, to the right, she notices the second keyhole. The first keyhole had unlocked the door, so maybe the second unlocks the wheel? Deciding she has nothing to lose, she inserts the key again and turns.

The wagon beneath her lets out a roar like an onrushing dragon. In an instant Lucina is out of her seat and on the ground several feet away. Her body tenses and she points her sword at the creature, which is still rumbling ominously, the door wide open.

What has she accidentally awoken?
