A/N- Ok, for those of you who have read my profile, yes, I only like Kent with Lyn. But then I'm making a joke about how Leila would go nicely with Kent and Iyessence dares me to try to write a romance between them. Well, just to show I can I whipped up this! I hope you like it! Oh, and HA! Iyessence! I win this round! . Jking!
Disclaimer- Thought it was about time I let everyone know that I really do not own Fire Emblem. Sobs But I do have 'Fire Emblem Rules!' Written on my wrist at the moment…..
And Her Name Was?
Chapter 1
It is not customary for knights to converse with spies. Especially not spies from other kingdoms. But looking back, they might have just been perfect for each other.
The first time we met her, I expected it would be me falling head over heals for her and Kent to be the one to come along and knock me to my senses. The way it turns out, I guess you could say it was 'love at first sight.' If anyone were to believe in such a thing, I'd be the first to say I do.
There we were, dismounted, standing by our Lady outside the Caelin castle.
"Kent, do you think they've gotten to my grandfather yet?" Lady Lyndis asked my red headed partner.
"I'm sorry Milady, but I do not see how they could not have."
Honest fool. At his words Lady Lyndis bit her lower lip and turned to look up into the castle, much concern on her face. I'd always suspected Kent may have been in love with Lady Lyndis. At that point I thought I was right, when he put his hand on her shoulder and told her that he would risk his own life gladly to insure she was reunited with her grandfather.
Ok, so maybe I knew Kent took his duty a little too seriously. Maybe I knew he would never put affection before his job. Maybe if I weren't a hopeless romantic I could have put two and two together and realized that he'd given up on his crush on our lady a long time ago. But Kent was hard to read! I mean; what kind of cavalier pledges to throw away his life for his lady's happiness if he doesn't love her? Ok….so maybe MOST cavaliers would….But as I said before, I was a hopeless romantic.
At that time Caelin's resident Pegasus knight came flying in and landed along side our little gathering.
"Lord Eliwood and his party are almost here!"
"Florina! Are you ok?" Lady Lyndis asked.
"I'm fine. But the castle is filled with…with m-men…ones I've never seen before…" She dismounted and bit her lip, she was shaking, a most attractive feature of hers. "Most of them have bows…." She whispered.
"Hm…" Lady Lyndis sighed, "Then it's best you wait out here, Florina. I'll make sure at least someone else stays with you; Eliwood's party is large and is bound to have someone unable to fight for now. They'll keep you company."
"But!" Was Florina's weak attempt at a protest.
"They've arrived!" Said Kent. We all turned to see a large group of seemingly mismatched soldiers, guided by Wil, a Caelin archer, and lead by Lord Eliwood and a burly blue haired man.
Here you can insert the heroic tale of how we gallantly recaptured the castle. Then Lady Lyndis, Lord Eliwood, and the blue haired man, who turned out to be Lord Hector of Ostia, went off, along with out old friend and tactician, Jareal, a stunning beauty with a quick wit, amazing reflexes, and a melodic laugh, to save the Marques.
So of course there was a large group of those left behind with which to mingle. I recognized Matthew, the thief, Serra, the cleric, and Erk, the mage, from our journey a year ago. Also Lucius, a monk, who'd been in the castle when we retook it (And who looks surprisingly like a rather attractive woman) was recognizable from the previous year.
I decided to keep an eye on Kent to make sure he wasn't just standing alone by himself and being unsocialible. No, of course not. He was discussing weapons and battle strategy and troops and such with an old Pheraen Knight who I later learned was named Marcus. My thoughts were, 'Couldn't he be talking to Serra? Or that beautiful young green haired archer, Rebecca, or at least Florina! Or…wow…' Here I spotted the princess-troubadour, Priscilla, and I stopped caring about Kent's choice for socialism. If I had cared I'd have noticed that the moment the Lady and two Lords entered the area his eyes fixed on someone extra among them and they didn't falter.
A/N- LOL! See? See how I can get Kent and Leila together! WAHAHA! Oh yeah…I'm good! Take that Iyessence! LOL! I'm joking. Anyway, I really hope you liked that! And I also hope you noticed that it was from Sain's POV… If you thought I was narrating this, I'm wondering why you thought I was a les…..Ok…anyway, please review! I really love hearing your advice! I promise longer chapters later!
