Maribelle's Kindness
Author's Note: Hello! This is my second Fanfiction, first Fire Emblem genre-based, and this is about the friendship between Maribelle and Lissa. I have always been firm in the belief that you should place your friends above you in the highest esteem, even more so since if they are truly your friends, they will stick by you for the rest of your life. I hope you like this, and I hope, if all goes well, that I can continue this. If you enjoy this, or you can help me to improve (since I know I need to), please review or message me! Thank you all!
Disclaimer: I don't own Fire Emblem in any shape or form, I only own my ideas and my imagination.
Prologue
It was a warm day….perfect for a wedding. The sun shown brightly, the wind blew gently, and it was as if the gods were saying that this day was being used to symbolize the perfectness of this pairing.
The only thing that was wrong about this day was the threatening aura of a certain blonde-haired, well-mannered, and sly natured troubadour named Maribelle. She was wearing a dress that accented her curves, a bright shade of yellow, much the same, as Lissa put it "The same shade as the sun!", or as Maribelle had thought "The same as food that did not settle nicely…..Dash it all! It made her want to vomit. " She loved Lissa dearly, she truly did, but the color of her wedding was enough to make her gag. It was all bright colors, and instead of white, the main color was yellow, and all different kinds. When she had decided to make that the wedding's prime color, it was almost as horrendous as the idea of her marrying Henry. When Lissa had first announced this, Mariibelle was beyond shocked. Her affection for her enthusiastic friend was deep, and she had always promised herself that she would protect the girl from all the brutish, thick-headed men in their camp, especially that Plegian fiend! He took pleasure in killing and murdering Risen, finding it to be a game. Once Maribelle had heard of their engagement, she had vowed that she would do everything in her power to prevent it.
She had gone searching for Lissa one day, hoping to catch some time to enjoy tea together. It was a special collection of a citrus blend, Lissa's favorite, and Maribelle had been saving it for a warm day like today. She had been worried about her friend, noticing the lack of sleep she seemed to be getting, and feeling helpless. Now, she was almost giddy, unreadable with her neutral stare, an emotional mask she perfected from years of training, finally being able to find some time to chat with the girl amidst all this chaos the war created. All the other Shepards had told her that they had seen the princess/cleric bounding towards the forest on the other side of camp. Maribelle politely thanked them, telling them how it was nice to see lowborns had at least one respectable aspect to them. She picked up her pace, practically dashing through the lush trees and bushes, unable to contain her excitement much longer. She heard the high pitched giggling of her friend, and slowed her pace, making sure that her appearance showed none of the energy she had earlier. She held her parasol in front of her, walking at a dainty pace. She was about to call out to Lissa when she heard another laugh intermingled with Lissa's. The sound was familiar, but not recognizable enough to place with a specific person. As she approached closer to where the sounds were emanating from, she saw the pale dress of the cleric, horizontal on the ground, elegantly lying down while her head rested in the lap of- in the what?! She had placed her head in the dark mage, Henry's, lap. The nerve! A lowborn and a princess socializing, and even improperly having bodily contact when they were not even married! Maribelle's face colored such a deep red that you would have thought it would explode! She marched lady-like up to the pair, ready to whack the unsavory character when- CAWW! CAW! CAW! Several crows flocked around her, beady eyes intent on attacking her if not called off by their master.
