So I noticed there is a lack of stories about Lon'qu and Cordelia which is a shame because I think they are a great couple. So here is a story that I hope will
change that. Also I don't own Fire Emblem.
"Damn that fool Gaius." Lon'qu thought as he parried the swing of an axe. The Shepards had been ordered to escort Lady Emmeryn and the Fire Emblem safely through Breakneck Pass, however Plegian forces ambushed the army along the cliffside.
Robin was able to quickly throw together a plan, placing himself and the other magic users close to the front lines to quickly dispatch enemy Barbarians, while also protecting Lissa and Maribelle as they healed any injured troops. Meanwhile, Frederick, Sully, and Panne would hold back the front lines to give Miriel and Ricken the chance to strike down any forces that get past the initial assault. Lon'qu and Gaius had been tasked with sneaking around the main forces and attack from behind, however Gaius ran off without a word leaving Lon'qu caught at the edge of the cliffside with Barbarians and Wyvern Riders swarming him.
Lon'qu stood his ground, cutting down brigands left and right, blood stained the blade of his sword as he swung it at an attacking Barbarian. "Pathetic", Lon'qu yelled as another enemy dropped dead. Secretly though, Lon'qu knew he was nearing his limit and would likely die if help didn't arrive soon. As Lon'qu sat there thinking, a flash of scarlet hair flew past him and struck down a Wyvern Rider.
"Are you alright" Lon'qu's savior asked. She was a Pegasus Knight in silver armor and flowing red hair that stretched past her shoulders, and dark red boots. Her pegasus' wings stretched out giving her the appearance of an angel. Lon'qu couldn't look away from her and stared a bit longer than needed.
"I am Cordelia of the Pegasus Knight Squadron" the red-haired angel said astutely, "I see that you are fighting for Ylisse, well any ally of Chrom is an ally of mine".
Lon'qu simply nodded, becoming uncomfortable with speaking to this Cordelia character. The two then fought off the remainder of the Plegian forces quickly and efficiently.
"By the goddess, you are quite skilled with a blade" said Cordelia looking at Lon'qu with interest. Lon'qu simply nodded and replied with, "Hmph" before walking away before his phobia made him even more uncomfortable.
Lon'qu quickly walked through the tents and fire pits that made up the Shepherd's camp. One might think that from afar that the camp was some sort of marketplace, and it was just as lively, with soldiers moving about or honing their skills in combat on the training ground. However, Lon'qu was only interested in locating the mess tent. The mess tent was the largest tent in the Shepherd's camp, with rows of wooden tables with benches along with a smaller section dedicated to preparing meals. As Lon'qu entered the tent (which was surprisingly empty at the moment), he saw a certain orange- haired thief stuffing his face with a cake.
"You!" Lon'qu exclaimed angrily as he made his way over to Gaius' table. Gaius looked up and tried to flee, but was unable to move from pure fear.
Lon'qu reached over and grabbed Gaius by his collar, "What the hell were you doing abandoning your comrade like that on the battlefield, you nearly got me killed!". "Hey sorry, I thought you could handle it," Gaius said fearfully, "besides if it wasn't for me, then Lissa would have had her head chopped off by those brigands."
Lon'qu let go of Gaius, who recoiled away quickly from the angered Myrmidon, "Don't ever abandon an ally in combat again, myself or anyone else" Lon'qu said as he turned to leave.
"Honestly, you should be thanking me" Gaius said as he returned to his dessert. "And how do you figure that?" Lon'qu asked as he turned around to learn an explanation behind Gaius' comment. "Come on man, I saw the way you were looking at that Pegasus Knight that saved you and you're in luck, I overheard her talk to Blue, she's staying" Gaius said with a smirk.
Lon'qu looked at Gaius and got up to leave, picking up Gaius' plate and smeared the chocolate cake all over Gaius' face. "Hey, what's your problem, do you know what I went through to steal that cake?" Gaius complained as he attempted to salvage his ruined dessert.
Lon'qu exited the mess tent with a smirk on his face, but did not notice the red-haired Pegasus Knight that entered the mess tent from the other side, confused about why Gaius was muttering curses towards Lon'qu.
Sorry if that's not great, but please like, comment, and review if you enjoyed.
