( Hello everyone! First story here, just a short teaser intro to get you started off on the plot. This is an Ike x Marth story, so if that isn't your cup of tea, please skip this story. If you do like them, I hope you enjoy my first shot at a story. Be gentle when reviewing! There will be a little creative editing of Fire Emblem universe to make this work, so you will be seeing some inaccuracies in the lore but I hope you enjoy anyway! )
We'll Meet Again
Master Hand called for heroes across the universe, bringing them together to defeat Tabuu. However, once their goal had been reached, it was time for them to return home.. With no memory of what they had done or who they had met.
"Marth.. I.." Ike stopped and closed his eyes, unable to find the words to say. What could he say? After all they had been through, all they had fought for, and all that he felt for this prince, what was there to say knowing that in mere moments he wouldn't even remember him? His hands slowly balled into fists at the anger he felt at the circumstances, how could he just let him go? Slowly he opened his eyes and looked down to the young prince who had tears in his eyes. It broke his heart to see him like that.
"It's okay Ike, it will be okay." Marth smiled, despite the tears that began to stream down his face. Slowly he reached one hand up and gently cupped the mercenaries' cheek with it. Ike shook from the touch, knowing this could be the last time he would ever feel such warmth and compassion. His hand quickly snapped up and covered Marth's completely, pressing it harder into his skin. "How can you say that, how can it be okay?"
"Because I'll find you. I know I will. Even if I don't remember who you are I know I'll need to find you and I will never stop searching until I find your Tellius and I find you. We'll meet again, I know it." Ike quickly brought his free hand up and gripped the back of Marth's head, just above his neck and pulled him in close. With seconds to spare he closed his eyes and pressed his lips to his with such desperation. Marth's eyes stayed wide open, shocked by his quick assault. But slowly, they too began to close and everything went black..
"Marth, sir, please wake up! We've made an amazing discovery!" Marth's eyes shot open and he slowly sat up, resting the side of his head in his hand. He had been having a dream, he was sure of it, yet he couldn't remember anything about it.. He tilted his head to the side and glanced to his advisor. "What did you find?"
"The waters that once blocked off the Forbidden Peninsula have calmed, sir, we may finally see what's beyond the mountains!" Marth furrowed his brow looked out his bedroom window to the mountains in the distance, across the sea. No one had ever been able to reach that area before, always blocked by impassible mountains and a dangerous current that wrecked all ships who dare come to pass. But now.. Now they could finally see what was there. And he had to know what was there. "Prepare an exploration party immediately, we leave as soon as we're ready."
