On Wings of Love

A/N: No, I'm not taking a break from writing A Place for My Head. I started with this because I was frustrated at how my work on A Place for My Head kept getting erased, but I'm going to work on both of these for now. Anyways, have fun!

Disclaimer: No, I do not own Fire Emblem. I deal with it, somehow...

Chapter 1

—Some period of time after the end of Fire Emblem

(A/N: I realize that the status of the characters differs by which A-level support conversations you've obtained. Here are the assumed A-levels: Eliwood/Lyn, Wil/Rebecca. Assume certain B-levels, also: Kent/Fiora (because an A-level would ruin half of the plot (I think—sadly, though I got the A-level, I was unable to keep Kent alive long enough to see that ending—though that allowed me to get the Sain/Fiora A-level, which I also didn't get to see...but enough about that.)), Eliwood/Fiora, Kent/Lyn. Yep. There's gonna be quite a bit of conflict. There are a few couplings in here that the game doesn't support, and...I'm going to stop talking before I give away the entire story.)

"Eliwood," Lyn said, "I was thinking..."

"Yes? Ah, I can tell by the look in your eye...you miss the plains again."

"No. Not quite. I was actually thinking of taking a trip to Ilia to visit Florina and her sisters. I understand that you'll need to stay here, and I regret that we'll have to be apart. I'll be thinking about you always, though."

"Thanks. Perhaps...perhaps Roy should go with you. He's old enough to be out and about now, and I'm sure he'd love it there."

"Yes, I was planning on it."

"And while I don't doubt your skills in combat in the least, you should nevertheless have an entourage. You are the marquess's wife, you know, and Roy will eventually take over for me when I'm gone, though that hopefully won't be for a long time."

"Yes. I'm sure my knights would be happy to go with me. Not that they have a choice, of course, if we ask them to."

Eliwood chuckled, "Yes, I'm sure they'd love to see their old friends again." Kent, Sain, and Wil all went to Pherae with Lady Lyndis as her personal knights rather than staying in the Caelin army after she turned Caelin's rule over to Ostia.

They went to the knights' quarters. "I have decided to take a trip to Ilia," Lyn announced. "My knights are to travel with me."

"Yes, Lady Lyndis," Kent replied immediately. It was no secret that Kent would follow Lyndis anywhere she asked him to even were she not his liege.

"Ilia?" Sain looked intrigued. "We're going to see Florina again?"

"Yes, that's the plan..." Lyndis looked around. "Where's Wil?"

"The same place he always is these days," Kent replied, "Back home with Rebecca."

"I wonder if all the girls in Ilia are as beautiful as those three," Sain thought aloud.

Kent groaned. "Sain..."

"I can tell, your heart's not really in it this time. Odd, normally you're always ready to chastise me for my behavior..."

"Really? I hadn't noticed."

Lyn cut in. "That's a good point. Your earlier one, I mean. I think it's sweet that Wil is spending all his time with Rebecca, but I doubt he'd be willing to leave her to go on this journey. And she's certainly not in any condition to travel with us."

"Yes...I hadn't thought of that."

"I'd be willing to go, then," another voice cut in.

They turned around to see Lowen, now a famed knight just like Marcus. "But Lowen, aren't you supposed to always be with Lord Eliwood?" Kent asked.

"Yes, you're right...it is my duty..." He clearly wasn't very happy about it. "If you weren't going there...if they were coming here instead, I—" He stopped. "It's nothing."

"I understand," Sain said. "Gee, that's too bad...unless you can get leave from Lord Eliwood, you—" Lowen stopped him.

"It's fine, really," he said, shaking his head. "My duties as a knight come first."

"They'll come by sooner or later," Lyn encouraged him. "Don't worry about it." She, Kent, and Sain left. "I wonder what that was all about."

"I don't know, Lady Lyndis," Kent replied. Sain merely smiled, knowing that sometimes it's best to keep a secret and hoping that Lyn didn't directly ask him if he knew anything about it. He had promised Lowen he wouldn't tell anyone, but if his liege gave him a direct order, he was powerless to do otherwise.

Scene change—sorry, I don't know any other way to do it.

Eliwood had come along with them to see Wil and Rebecca on the matter. "You are to go with Lady Lyndis on her journey," he told Wil.

"Yes, Lord Eliwood. But...I do not wish to leave my wife's side. I...want to be there when our first child is born, and that could be any day now."

"I understand. You may both go, then."

"No...I can't," Rebecca said, "I'm in no condition to travel—I'd only be a burden."

"Nonsense," Wil replied, "you'll be fine. I'll make sure nothing happens to you."

"But you're supposed to be protecting Lady Lyndis," she argued.

"It's fine, really," Lyn interjected, "It's no trouble at all."

"No, dear, the girl has a point," Eliwood replied. "I'd feel more comfortable if you brought along another knight, then."

"Sir Lowen seemed to want to go," Sain immediately informed him, "if that's alright with you, Lord Eliwood."

"No, I'm afraid that won't do," Eliwood sighed. "Perhaps it is best if Wil and Rebecca stay here, then."

"We'll be fine with them there," Lyn insisted, "I don't mind. Kent and Sain are very capable knights, and I am, like you said, quite a skilled fighter myself."

"Very well, if you insist..."

"Thank you, Lord Eliwood," Wil said, bowing.

A/N: Chapter 1 is over already? My, that was fast... By the way, don't expect any battle scenes—I'm horrible at them. Especially when there's no magic involved. ;) Please Read and review!
