Just a little family fic between Eliwood and Eleanora. With a weird twist, teehee!

Disclaimer: The theory put forth by this fic would be canon if I owned Fire Emblem. So I obviously do not.

Farewells

Eliwood walked over to the secret entrance to his mother's chamber, Rebecca tailing behind him with a plate of food. Quietly so as to avoid waking the castle, Eliwood knocked on what most people would call a bookcase, but what he would call a doorway to comfort.

"Mother?" Eliwood called softly. "Can you open the entrance?" Eliwood heard the light tap-tap-tap of his mother's footsteps headed toward the door.

"I'm always here." She said as she opened the entrance. "There hasn't been a safe time for me to go yet."

"I set up a trip to Ostia for all the nobles in the castle. The servants who do not know will go as well. Sain will be able to escort you out…" Eliwood mumbled. He looked up to his mother's eyes, which were filled with more youth than his own.

"You fear these secret trips down here will be discovered?"

"Yes. In time Roy, myself, maybe Ninian… we would have to hide down here. I don't think the people of Pherae will accept the truth."

"Your father could accept me. You could accept Ninian. It is so cruel the remainder of the world cannot accept us. But…"

"Mother?"

"I suppose it is true I would be more comfortable with other Divine Dragons in Arcadia than hidden in this cellar."

Eliwood looked down. "So you will leave Thursday?"

"On one condition."

"Yes, Mother?" Eliwood asked. Her safety had to be first, so he would do anything to get anything to get her to agree to return to her hometown.

"You, Ninian, and Roy will be able to visit." Eleanora said with a sad smile.

"I cannot make promises… but I will try." Eliwood said, smiling as well for the first time in the conversation.

Fifteen years later, Roy of Pherae trudged through the sands of Nabata, in the village of Arcadia. He caught the eye of a dragon girl with long violet hair and eyes to match, who quietly thought to herself: So that's what my little grandson grew up to be.

I... really like the idea of Eleanora being a Divine Dragon. I mean, all other Elibian Divine Dragons and Partial Divine Dragons have purple hair. And she looks the same age as her son. What else would she be?

I hope you liked it anyway!
