The city walls were finally in sight. It had been a boring carriage ride, even if it were only a week's time. He parted his blue hair and placed a hand on the lance at his waist. Siegmund was always a reassuring feeling, and it would be happy to be reunited with its twin.

"Are you enjoying the sight, my king?" His wife asked, rising behind him.

"Tana… you shouldn't be up right now. Please go sit down." Ephraim gestured towards the carriage seat behind the couple.

"I'm fine, dearest. You're being too overprotective." Tana giggled. "Gods, has it really been two years? It's hard to believe."

"I feel the same. I've never been separated from Eirika for this long. Even when we parted for our campaigns during the War of the Stones, it wasn't nearly this long…" Ephraim closed his eyes. His twin's striking image stayed within his head for all of this time. Two visions struck him immediately; one of Eirika in her wedding dress, saying "I do" to Innes. The other was after striking down the Demon King. She stood facing her brother, her sacred sword shining in her hand, next to his own lance.

"Ephraim…" Tana placed a hand on Ephraim's shoulder, which startled him a bit.

"Gah!" Ephraim jumped and turned to Tana. "You scared me."

"Sorry…" Tana looked at her husband. "Do you think Innes… well, I mean will he… how will he feel about… this? Our news?"

"I think he'll be just fine. If not, Siegmund would love to get acquainted with him." Ephraim grabbed the lance again.

"Ephraim!" Tana gasped. "Don't threaten Innes like that! I know you two don't get along well, but he's still my brother! Yours too, now!"

"I know, I know. I only jest, love." Ephraim looked up at the city walls they had just arrived at. "Are we ready?"

"I suppose so." Tana gave her husband a peck on the cheek and watched the drawbridge lower. She had awaited this moment for two years, and wasn't going to watch it get away.
