Hey guys. Here is my second fanfic. Bear with me whenever I fall behind in uploading chapters. I'll try not to fall behind to much. Without further ado, let's start. This first chapter will be pretty short since I will just be introducing the tactician and the basic set up for my story.

Pre-Prologue: Departure to Magvel

The war against Nergal and the fight against the dragon is now over. Despite the loss of Athos at the end of the conflict, everyone was heading back to celebrate their victory. Over the course of their journey, many couples were formed. Ninian, after some persuading by Nils, decided to stay behind and live her life with Eliwood. Hector and Farina finally confessed their feelings to each other and get together. Lyn and Rath confessed their love to each other and got together. Other couples included Kent and Fiora, Florina and Sain, Wil and Rebecca, Heath and Priscilla, and Serra and Erk.

Eliwood succeeded his father as Marquess. Eliwood and Ninian got married a month after the end of the campaign. Just like Eliwood, Hector succeeded his brother and married Farina two months after the campaign. As for Lyn, she returned to Caelin to watch over her grandfather. She married Rath three months after the campaign. Rath remained with Lyn and helped her when she succeeded her grandfather. Her grandfather died of old age a month after the conflict, but despite the sadness, Lyn was able to overcome it with the support of Rath and the man that had supported her since she met him laying unconscious in a plain. This man was the same man that fought alongside her, Eliwood, and Hector and led them to victory against Nergal.

This man was called Kouga . He is not only an expert with the sword, but also is a master tactician, having never lost a battle in all the time he has been one. Although his tacticts were top-notch, he still refused to simply let the others fight for him, so he fought with them. He made friends of everyone of his comrades during the expedition against Nergal. His closest friends were the three lords, Heath, Karel, and surprisingly for everyone, Jaffar. After the campaign, he obtained the title of The Prince of Tactics. All around Elibe, people searched him for his talents. At a point, it got so competitive, that small conflicts arose between lands. Unfortunately for them, Kouga never wished to join any of them, since he didn't see the point in any of their goals.

After all of the celebrations, Kouga decided that he wanted to travel to another land and go on other adventures, since he had already seen everyting in Elibe and wanted to get away from all of the fame he obtained from the war.

"Must you leave Kouga?"

"I'm sorry Lyn, but I wish to explore other lands. I was thinking that I will travel to Magvel. Don't worry I will write often."

"I understand. We will all miss you. Just make sure you come back to us safe and sound." "I will. Don't worry." Kouga gave Lyn a hug and wished her luck with Rath. He then turned to all of the friends that were able to see him off, Karel, Heath, and Jaffar. "Heath, take care of Priscilla and take care of yourself my friend." "I wish you didn't have to leave but this is your choice. Just take care of yourself." Kouga gave Heath a friendly hug and then turned to Karel. "Take care of yourself, and maybe next time we duel, I'll finally be able to best you." "You will be missed here Kouga, and I look forward to sparring with you. Take care." Kouga and Karel shared a handshake and then Kouga turned to the final person there, Jaffar. "Jaffar, try to socialize more. Don't worry about all that happened in the past. That's all behind us. I will miss you my friend." "…As your friend, I will try to socialize. No promises though. Just make sure you come back." After sharing a handshake, he stepped back and adressed all four of his friends. "Give my regards to everyone else and tell them that I wish them good fortune with their lives. I will try to write as often as possible. Take care." With that, he boarded the ship that would take him to Magvel and new journeys.

As the ship was departing, Kouga thought back to all of the memories he made with his friends in Elibe and smiled. After sheding a tear for leaving his friends, he turned and prepared for his new adventure in Magvel.
