If I owned Fire Emblem, then I would be too busy relaxing on my yacht to write this.
To the Ends of the Earth
Chapter One- No place is home
She watched as dawn slowly rose, and sighed. She always had this romantic idea of dawn, duelling underneath the fresh sun was her most heard of love, but as well she had always wanted to just sit, and watch the sun rise with… Well, she didn't like to think his name.
The purple haired swordstress got to her feet, and drew her blade, letting it reflect in the sun… Beautiful. Finally deciding that she had to carry through her plan, she sheathed it, and took a long last look at the camp.
"Going somewhere?" a voice asked. She knew who it was by the tone, he sounded as if he was annoyed that he had to speak, and if possible he would have just not bothered.
"Shinon" she said.
"Mia" the pink haired man replied, from his perch in a tree.
"How long have you been there?" the purple haired woman asked, slightly bemused.
"Long enough… Now answer my question" he demanded, before he jumped down, landing softly, and looking at her with accusation in his eyes "Your going after him aren't you?"
Mia shifted uncomfortably "Yes…" she blushed a little "I have to… I…" she became silent and looked away "I need to find him"
"If you're not brave enough to tell me, then I think your going after him is a waste of time" the sniper chided her "If you go to" he stopped "Wherever he is, just to chicken out, well, that's a giant waste of time"
Mia looked at her feet "I love him, alright?" she looked at him "Can you please not give me a hard time about it?"
"I wouldn't dream of it. I can't stand him, but you… Meh, I can stand you. It might be less fun without you around. Possibly" he shrugged, and Mia knew that was going to be as close as she would ever get to a compliment from him. And then he said something she would never have expected "Let me go with you as far as port, at least"
"Shinon… Thank you" the girl smiled "I'd love some company… Are you ready to go now?" she walked over to a rock, and pulled out three swords and a bag from behind it. She had been planning for some time, she hadn't wanted to say goodbye to anyone, as it would have made it to hard if she had to. She had been smuggling supplies out here ever since he left. Ike. She missed him, and she missed how she had never told him how she felt.
"I can go whenever" Shinon replied "Are you sure you want to go? What if he doesn't feel the same, which as he left…" he let the silence grow.
"I would rather know for sure" the woman replied, as she began walking.
"Fair enough… Do you know how to find him?" he continued, and Mia got a sense that he would rather she did not go. But she had to, for the last four months she had woken up every day wondering what would have happened if she told him how she felt. Would he still of left? Would he have taken her with him? Would he of denied her? Too many questions ran through her mind every day to leave any doubt in her mind that she had to go and find him! She needed to!
"Calm, Mia, calm" she whispered to herself "I'll find him" she assured, mostly to herself "If it's meant to be, I will find him… Or I just follow the tales of the blue haired man with the sword as big as he is, either is good" she shrugged, and gave a carefree smile which had not been seen for many months now. Ike's disappearance had hit her hard, and she had smiled only rarely. It was a pity really, Shinon thought, secretly he enjoyed seeing her smile, it was warm, and was a good deal of the reason he had stayed with the Greil Mercenaries after the Mad King's War. Which again, he would die before telling anyone.
"You really wouldn't last long in the real world, would you?" he asked "I mean, with the best laid plans in the world, people will fail to achieve their dreams, and here you are just waltzing into yours and hoping it works out okay?" he laughed a little "It is a little funny, you have to admit… Or a little depressing, depending on what happens"
"Hmm" Mia agreed, and then both she and Shinon were silent for a good deal of time.
