Author Notes Time!!!!

Aisu: So yah…I don't get much time to post things cuz of school. I love you all who liked this story. Love I say! I love yeh! Oo Anyway…yah…

This entire Side Story is mine….I have no help and no sanity helping me. So no making fun of Aisu-chan! ….. THIS IS THE PIECE THAT KEEPS IT FIRE EMBLEMY!!! Cuz none of these characters are in SSBM. I wanna add its REALLY hard to remember everything about the Fire Emblem game when you're watching your cousins play and you're but a tender age of 4. In Japanese no less…But I digress…On with the side story!

---------

And everyone was on search for prince Mars. Sheeda flew high above on her Pegasus. Jeigan and Oguma had left on countless vain crusades to find their prince. Kain and Able had run ahead even of the mercenary and paladin to scout surrounding areas. Even Navahl, despite how introverted he may seem, had set out a day back muttering something about how he would find Mars.

And so, all in all, the entire Aritian army, the majority of the solider from Talis had set out on their sub-journey. In fact, all that remained were the women, children, and a few of the kick-ass Aritian Knights to protect the women and children.

The Macedonian priestess, Leena, has found herself a spot nearer the fire and was peacefully and intently praying for everyone's safety. To everyone's dismay though, that's all it ever seemed she did. Gordon and Ryan had grown rather bored of being on look out…were they supposed to fear the pine tree to their left?! Of perhaps that squirrel over there….yes he was rather suspicious…(0) 'Yah right!' They snorted. There was nothing to do!

The two boys had played every game they had ever learned to keep themselves occupied…and even still the boredom prevailed; like it had just chained itself to them when they slept. Sure they could kill the boredom…but it would still linger there. It sucks to drag a dead body around.

"I'm tired of playing the Quiet Game!!!!" Ryan spoke up, breaking the annoying silence. Gordon looked at his brother, raising an eyebrow for a moment before blinking. "Ryan…we stopped playing the Quiet Game ten minutes ago."

"Oh…..So what are we playing now then?"

The elder of the brothers bit his lip slightly, "I don't know….I can't think of anything besides going and annoying Julian…"

"Hey yah!" Ryan grinned, "We haven't done that yet!" And so they both merrily agreed and snuck to the tent where the sleeping thief lay. We shall also assume it was early night because there was a fire and people are sleeping.

Lenna, who kept still in prayer, held a secret smile to her lips as she heard the two boys scamper off to go provoke and pester. 'Children.'

Julian, in the meanwhile, was dreaming. It wasn't a falling dream. It wasn't a battle dream. It was positively the most wonderful dream he had ever had. There he was. Surrounded in the middle of not one, but TWO harems of pretty girls. Petted, rubbed, being fed expensive grapes, ah yes, this was THE life to live. And right before him was Leena, the white hood of the robe pulled down, radiant red hair bouncing around her shoulders. She leaned closer to him, smiling the entire time.

And just as they were about to kiss-----

"WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!!!"

Julian shot up like a mouse trap. He gasped for air quickly, turning in every direction trying to look around---which only resulted in him getting dizzy, so he quickly stopped that. He was alone in his tent. No. That couldn't be possible. The thief checked everywhere a person could hide in that tent. Coincidentally, that wasn't more than under a few blankets. He was in fact alone.

He peeked outside the tent, checking on the surrounding areas. There was Leena sitting by the fire side in prayer. Halfway across the field there were some of the Aritan and Talus knights whose names he hadn't bothered to learn because they didn't hold a high position. But wait—where were the twin terrors then? He knew of their evils. He had witnessed what their evil powers had accomplished to other unfortunate souls. Ryan was a cute young boy who might be more likeable had he not have been corrupted by his brother.

Gordon was just evil. Good archer or not, mostly not, he was evil. He schemed and plotted behind your back. Oh yes it was true! But what irked Julian the most was that Gordon was going through the time of becoming a man….and his voice was two octaves higher than it probably should have been. It made his ears bleed.

But wait!!

There they were, Julian spotted the children sitting on the opposite side of Leena, and almost out of his view. They sat cross-legged, arms raised up and seemed to be in deep thought or prayer. (1)

So Perhaps it had all just been in Julian's imagination. He just had awoken by himself. 'Yes', he decided, 'That must have been it.' So the thief stepped out of his tent, wanting fresh air and the ability to stretch his legs. But as things never go as one plans them….He tripped on a wire he hadn't seen and rolled. This was the last time he EVER set up tent on a hill, that was for sure. Yelps, half-curses, and threats of revenge were his as he tried to halt his decent—into the pond.

Yes they had set camp near a pond for use of good water. Yes he had managed to set up on a hill overlooking the pond because he liked scenery. Yes he was regretting this now because it caused his downfall.

And with a splash high enough to soak the ground around it in a ten foot radius, he fell in. Oh Anri have mercy on their souls when HE got through with them.

In the meanwhile, Ryan and Gordon had taken to laughing their guts out and rolling on the ground. It was their impression of Julian you see. Leena was sorely tempted to stop and go offer a hand to Julian, but she decided against it, as even she might stop to giggle at him. And that wasn't nice. But it would be at least right to scold the boys. So she turned, putting on her most maternal look and preparing for a speech.

But they weren't there.

She looked around slightly bewildered. They had been there just a second ago. Perhaps the had gone to torment more souls. She checked the position of the smallish army. Everyone was where they had been a moment ago…Navahl emerged from the northern part of the forest. Surely they wouldn't pester the mercenary…lest their lives be at stake. It was also then that Kain and Able came from the west.

Kain and Able.

Leena knew it right away: Instant Targets.

Meanwhile…over to the West…

"I can't believe that he could've gotten that far." The man in red armor looked at his brother. "Its just not possible."

"I know…" the other sighed guiding his horse lightly into camp. They both looked ahead when…

"Ow!" Kain grunted. "What was that for?!"

Able looked at him (2) and blinked, "What?"

"You kicked me!"

"I did not!"

"Yes! Yes you did!"

"B-but….I didn't…."

Kain stared hard at his brother then sighed, "Alright…maybe it was just my imagination…" The other nodded and they continued back towards camp.

When suddenly…..

"Ow!"

Able hit his brother in the arm. "Why did you just hit me?"

Kain blinked, bewildered. "I did not! It was you who just hit me!"

"You hit me first!"

"Lies!"

"YAR!!!"

In a flying leap, Able jumped off his horse knocking the cavalier off his own steed and landing in a heap on the ground where they began to scuffle and first fight and otherwise create quite the dust cloud.

The horses, confused, waited for their masters and looked around wondering about horesy things like hay, apples, and running.

And as the fight between brothers went on and the horses stood, behind them concealed by the underbrush of the forest sat two boys. Or should be it "Two Wee Archers"

There sat Gordon and Ryan, arms laden with rocks that they were going to throw at the two men. Now however they watched the quarrel, quite amused and trying to keep from laughing their innards up.

"Mom always liked you better!"

"You always beat me up when we were younger!"

"Brat!"

"Slave driver!"

Leena looked on, hearing the faint yells as she was far away. Oh what a day it was without their prince.
