I'm writing this the day after posting the first two chapters and I've just noticed that I forgot the disclaimer! Please don't sue me Nintendo! Anyway R&R as always and enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Fire Emblem for the last ****ing time!
Ike halted his horse on the border of the desert, he noticed that it was mild due to the cold in Daein and the sweltering heat in the desert. He looked back at the mountains of Daein, he could see Nevassa as a small blob on the horizon. Ike realised that he was dawdling and kicked his horse which took him into the desert.
"Holy...It's pretty hot out here." He told himself as he took a swig from his water flask. Looking around, he knew that he had to go east, it was morning, so all he had to do was go in the direction of the sun. He kicked his horse again and it set off in the direction Ike pulled it to.
*The next day*
"Please...Don't do this to me!" Ike screamed at his horse as it lay, exhausted and dehydrated, in the shade of a shrivelled tree. Ike pulled out his water flask and tried to quench the horses thirst. None came out. He rummaged around in his bag for more water, but he had none. Then it hit him, he had forgot to resupply himself in Nevassa. He slumped back against the tree, he knew he would die. Without his horse and without water he would never make it back to Daein or to Hataray.
The horses eyes closed and its breathing stopped, Ike looked at the corpse of the horse and began to cry.
"Why did I have to do this? I'm sorry...I'm so sorry Mia." He cried into his hands.
He cried for a few minutes and looked into the wilderness, the heat emanated from the sand creating a wavy ocean of air that teased Ike's mind. Suddenly he saw something, a horse was riding out of the haze. Ike recognised the rider instantly, it was her.
"Mia..." Ike gasped as attempted and failed to stand.
She kept on riding toward him, her signature smile causing him to melt inside.
"Wait a minute, oh no, no no no!" Ike shouted as he realised exactly who, or what was riding towards him, it was a mirage. His mind was playing all sorts of tricks on him as Ike's hope drained out of him.
"What's wrong Ike, are you tired?" Mia asked him as she dismounted from her horse.
"I know you're not Mia, you're just a mirage. Go away and leave me to die in peace."
"You think I'm a mirage, huh? Well then I'll just have to show you what I really am then." With that she bent down and kissed Ike..
"Mia, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry..." Ike cried and she pulled him into a hug.
"It's alright Ike, I'm here with you now. You sound hoarse, don't you have any water with you?"
"No, I'm all out. I forgot to stock up in Daein."
"Silly you, here have some." Mia gave Ike a flask of water and he drank a few gulps.
"Thank you Mia" Ike said as he handed back the bottle.
"Still want to carry on?"
"No. No, I just want to go home."
"You do?"
"Of course." With this sentence Mia grinned and gave Ike a hug.
"I want to as well, Ike." She said as she released him.
"We'd better go before we die out here." Ike said as he stood up, full of energy.
"Yeah, you wanna take the reins?"
"Why not?" Ike let Mia up on the horse and then pulled himself up behind her. He reached around her to take the reins and Mia blushed slightly.
Enjoyed that, did you? Please leave a review as it will motivate me to continue with this story. I was going to make them get it on (not sexually) in this chapter, but I decided to make you wait for it.
