Alright... Here's a new short series up by me. :) It's going to be about Ein and fia again... (Can you tell I'm a huge fan of EinxFia:P) I hope you guys enjoy it. ;)


A soft glow seeped through the gap between drawn curtains, breaking the darkness within the house and creating a small rectangle of light on the ground. Tiny dust motes could be seen dancing within the thin ray of golden light. It was dawn and winter had just broken a few days ago, by which plants had already taken the chance to grow and bloom. It was a time of hope... The breaking of darkness and coldness into the dawn of new things... and hope...

The pleasant earthy smell that the ground gave off would have soothed anyone with a troubled mind... Land-borne animals were scampering around, air-borne creatures soaring gracefully within the air and the water-borne creatures swam around within the water... Each was breaking out of hibernation and foraging for food, getting back to the vibrancy of life... Outside the house, laughter could be heard and children and adults alike were running around, enjoying the warmth that spring brought. For anyone, this was indeed a dawn of new hope... except for one...

A female figure was huddled in a tiny corner and sobbing quietly. Her long green hair was neatly combed back and held back in place with a neat green ribbon. She was dressed conservatively in a long blouse and dress, with a modest ladies' jacket laced tightly over her torso. Her frill-edged skirts were the same pale green as her hair; the sleeves of her blouse, which puffed softly at her shoulders, were pristine white. She also had on long gray stockings and sensible, leather shoes with three-inch heels. However, unlike her overall appearance, her face was another matter. Tears were streaming down her face and her eyes were red and puffy from the constant contact with salt.

In her hands, she clutched a four-leaved clover and she held it to her breast. Closing her eyes and stifling her sobs, she whispered hoarsely, "Ein... where are you?"

As she sat there quietly, shaking with misery, memories swept over her...

"Fia! Look over here!"

Looking up in puzzlement, she saw Ein's face beaming at her and he was waving something green around excitedly. "Look what I found!"

After some staring, Fia finally recognized the green thing Ein was holding and gasped in shock. All she could utter was just "wow..."

Now grinning sheepishly, Ein pressed it into her hand and said, "This is for you..." By that time, he was blushing madly.

Fia swelled with happiness and thought to herself//Ein's so cute when he acts like that...// Leaning over, she whispered "Thank you" to Ein and without realizing it, gave him a small kiss on the cheek. Eyes widening in surprise, Fia was blushing madly as well. Stuttering madly, she fumbled for an explanation, "Ein... I... I... di-"

However, Ein merely cut her off and grinned, saying, "It's okay... I kind of liked it..."

Just then, Lina jumped up between them both and started giggling madly, "Fia kissed Ein!!! Fia likes Ein!!!!"

At that moment, all three had a good laugh...

Coming back to the present, Fia gazed at the window without seeing and whispered to nothingness, "Ein... where are you? I can't live without you..."

She then closed her eyes and went to sleep, sobbing quietly...


Yes... I will continue this... It's just the first chapter. It's going to be pretty angsty (I hope) but I'm hoping to come up with a happy ending... Nothing's sure though. Anyway, please read and rate. I might just implement any ideas you put up. ;)

God bless, Azarethian Titan
