Thanks Dracobolt, going to change my author's notes then.
One more update. There might be a problem for me to update. Well, I'm moving soon and my mom told the telus company to disconnect our phone line on August 15, 2005. However, we are not moving until August 23, 2005. So we've been trying to phone and email telus to not disconnect our line yet. We don't know if they got our messages because right now, telus is on strike and everything's a mess. So I might not update for a while. But I'll keep on writing, so whenever we get our phone line back, I'll be able to go back online and I'll put all the chapters I've written. If they somehow got our message, then there's nothing to worry about.
Hey! I hope you guys enjoy this fanfic. I'm planning on writing a long one with a lot of chapters. This is just the beginning, so it's a bit short because i wanted to end it like that.
By the way, This chapter (and most of the second chapter) is from Mariah's perspective, but for those that don't like new characters (like me), don't worry because I just need her here but she's not that important.
Disclaimer: I do not own fire emblem or it's characters and stuff. But I DO own that song :).
The One That Was Appointed
Mariah sighed as she was sitting up on her bed. Slowly she put her back against the soft pillow that was placed there for her comfort. She let her eyes wander around the room and could not help but be amazed. Mariah remembered when she first moved here when she married Saloman. Her husband was not only the Royal Protector of the Throne, but also King Fado's oldest and closest friend. They were so close, he gave him and his family a section of the castle to live in. Mariah began to reminisce about first entering her new home. The windows were draped with the finest sapphire blue curtains. All the furniture looked as if the king had bent over backwards to get if for them. Their bed was…
Mariah snapped back into reality as a gentle cry escaped the baby in her hands. She lowered her gaze towards the child's eye and smiled. The mother opened her mouth and a sweet and tender voice escaped her.
As long as the Earth is spinning,
As long as there are stars in the sky.
As long as the sun rises every morning,
That is how long I will love you.
As much sand there is on the shore,
As much stars there are in the sky.
As much fish there is in the ocean,
That is how much I love you.
If one day the Earth stops spinning,
If one day the stars grow dim.
If one day the sun stops rising,
Will I still love you?
If one day all the sand is washed away,
If one day all the stars disappear.
If one day all the fish swim away,
Will I still love you?
Yes, and this is my promise.
If the Earth stops spinning,
I will still love you.
If the stars grow dim,
I will still love you.
If the sun stops rising,
I will still love you.
Yes, and this is my promise.
If all the sand is washed away,
I will still love you.
If all the stars disappear,
I will still love you.
If all the fish swim away,
I will still love you.
I proclaim my eternal love, for you.
When Mariah had finished her song, she looked upon her child, who had drifted off to sleep. She smiled to herself and slowly put him to bed. She touched his cheek and told him, "You are going to grow up to be just like your father, I can feel it." Finally, she kissed him softly on the forehead and walked back to her bed. Saloman, I hope you come home soon, the baby and me are waiting. After closing the lights, she slipped into her bed, and drifted into sleep herself
Suddenly, there was a bright light in her room and Mariah jerked awake. She saw a man dressed in a white robe and holding a staff in the middle of the light. Instinctively, she looked over to her baby, but surprisingly, he was still fast asleep. For one second, relief had taken over the fear that had set in her heart, but the fear came back.
"Do not be afraid, I do not come to harm you, but to bring you good news," the man said.
Mariah was still speechless from the initial shock, but continued to listen.
"Your child has been appointed by the stars. His task I cannot reveal to you, but it will be difficult. His name will be called Seth, meaning, the appointed one."
By this time, Mariah had finally found her voice and asked, "Will…will my child…I mean, will Seth…will Seth survive?"
"This all depends on Seth's decision. That is all I can say. Good bye my lady. We may meet again if the stars allow it," replied the man as he began to disappear.
Riiiiiiiing! Riiiiiiiiing!
Woken up by the church bell, Mariah opened her eyes and quickly sat up. A million questions flooded in her head. What was that? Who was that man? Was that a dream? What… Then for a second time, she instinctively looked over to her baby, who was still fast asleep. At least he's safe. I guess that was all a dream, but she couldn't help thinking that it meant something. What was he appointed to do? What if he dies? What if…
"I will let fate decide," she said to no one in particular.
The child, who seemed to have woken up, cried longingly for his mother. Mariah smiled to herself and walked over to him. She picked him up, which immediately stopped the crying.
She tickled his chin and said, "Good morning, Seth."
So? What do you think? Please review! There's not much plot right now, but there will be later on.
