Hey, something non-romantic, but still quite sad! Hahahaha! The 'actual' pair is Roy/Lilina, but Shanna is the other character. Yeah, it's weird, but whatever.

Disclaimer: I do not own FE. Otherwise, all siblings would support in FE9 (No Ike/Mist? What the heck?)


Gateway to a Sad Utopia

"I don't want to."

"But, your majesty, you must! You'll be safe on the other side!"

"Shanna, I don't want to leave Elibe! Once I'm through the Gate, I won't be able to return!" I cried my voice cracking as I said so. "I can't bear to leave everything!"

"Lord Roy. Think about what everyone did to save you from those rebels. If it wasn't for us, you'd be strung up and killed!"

"I know, but… Shanna?"

"Yes? Are you ready?"

"Give everyone my thanks. And tell Lilina that I won't forget her. I… know she will be able to find a new husband who can care for her and the third child." I felt tears well in my eyes as I ran up to the Pegasus Knight who had brought me to the Dread Isle and hugged her tightly. She showed quite a bit of surprise at the gesture, but she returned the embrace. I backed off and turned.

"Farewell, Shanna."

"Farewell, King Roy."


In case you didn't get it, the populace found out Roy was part dragon and his reign deteriorated from there. So before he was executed, Shanna and some other unnamed dudes came and saved him, and Shanna escorted him to the Dragon's Gate.

Prompt: Gateway. Thanks, Flaming Platinum.
