Disclaimer: I do not own Fire Emblem: Rekka no Ken. I do not own the game plot. I changed and altered the plot, so this does not really happen. Ever. I did name some of the chapters after Fire Emblem songs to give a mood for the chapter.

Chapter 1. Reminiscence: Part One
Upon entering the two-floored tan house, you are in a hallway. You walk forward in this hallway, and you come across a dining room. To your right is another hallway. Turn right, and you'll find three doors on the right hand side, and one on the left hand side. Take the third door. Entering this room, you'll see a young brown-haired girl with a number of belongings spread across the floor. This girl is Taylor.
She sat there silently crying. It was her 13th birthday, and she had the most important decision of her life to make.
Among the items scattered around her, three she narrowed down as most important. The items are a note, a wooden box, and a picture. The note was carefully folded in half. The picture, hand drawn, is pressed neatly. The box is just beautiful.
The box was a clear blue color. On the lid of it a crest was neatly and carefully painted with a gold color. She picked it up, and turned it over in her hands several times. Then she turned it so the crest faced her. So that the crest of Pherae faced her.
She carefully opened the small ornate box. Her eyes glistened with more tears, the expression on her face a mirror image of the multiple times she had already opened it. Inside is a ring. A modest sized diamond glistened in the light and sat on a golden band. Lord Eliwood of Pherae proposed to her yesterday.
She set the ornate box carefully on the ground, making sure it balanced with the lid open so she could see the ring. She drew herself from the ring, and shifted her attention to the picture. She just finished coloring it in recently. She colored it in with colored pencils, giving it a homemade look. The picture illustrates Taylor leaning against Eliwood, looking up at him beaming. Eliwood's looking down at her, a good height taller, equally happy. What Taylor doesn't see is Eliwood the small box, giving the viewer of the picture a glimpse of the ring.
Taylor wasn't satisfied with the picture quality, so she decided to fix it. She narrowed her eyes in concentration, staring at the picture. She raised her right hand, and slowly hovered over the picture, as the fine details filled themselves in. The color evened out, shading appeared, and a beautiful picture was lying out in front of her.
She sighed and laid it next to the ring. She hesitated and looked at the ring, still sparkling. She pulled her gaze, and stared at the letter. It was addressed to her, from her mom. She had been gone for about a month, gone with Eliwood. She knew the letter was going to say somewhere we need to talk. She opened it.
Dear Taylor,
I know you've been gone for a while. And I know you've been gone with that boy. It's not like you to do this. So why are you? We've been searching for you everywhere, but then you just show up? It's your birthday, but we still need to talk.
Mom
Taylor sighed as she finished the letter. She wondered what she should do? Disappear and marry Eliwood? Or stay here, and leave her adventure in Elibe behind. She couldn't leave Eliwood. She couldn't leave him, ever. She wondered what to do in this situation. She couldn't leave her family in the past. She could bring Eliwood here, but that would leave Pherae heir-less. Taylor decided on recollecting on the past month, day-by-day, week-by-week.
