Author's Note: I absolutely love the Fire Emblem series and after getting back into the game recently, I have decided to try and put some of my ideas about the story on paper (so to speak). I love the different relationships that go on throughout the game and plan to expand some stories on some of my favorite pairings later. To begin though, I am starting off with some light poems written from one character to another. They will mainly be themed around encouragement, love and heartbreak between the characters based on gameplay and support conversations. I will try to give a brief description of when each poem is taking place and between whom at the beginning of each.
To begin, I had to use my favorite pairing of SethxEirika. Seeing as I am a hopeless romantic, this poem is written from Seth to Eirika just after Seth is wounded by Valter when Renais castle falls, but still manages to carry her to safety. Thus begins her journey to not only find her brother and save the kingdom, but also where Seth's love is lit. He constantly is supporting her and encouraging her throughout the challenges they face, her solid foundation in a world of chaos.
The First Step
Don't ever hold back a smile
For your smile, on your face and in your eyes
Might make someone's day
Just a bit brighter and spirit perhaps rise
Don't race to a destination
Because sometimes in the path and untreaded trail
Is where true joy lies when we least expect
Hidden just behind the gossamer veil
Don't speak with your mind
Without speaking from your heart
Because those who care about you
Want to hear it all, right from the start
Don't wish for the sunshine
When you have rain and clouds of gray
Because if we appreciate the rain now
We truly cherish the sun on another day
Trust in yourself and all that you are
And no matter where you go
Great things you will do on this journey
This I don't believe, but know
There just isn't enough love given in the world
And even a little goes a long way
Walk the path meant for you
But never stray from my side
Because I love the rain but would be sad
If the sun ever left my life
