I do not own Fire Emblem, but I do own the OC.
I'm glad that people enjoy reading this little drabble series. Although, word documents around eight hundred or so words aren't techincally drabbles, but who am I to complain?

I could tell that Elise was excited about the event with her 'big brother'. The blindfold that covered her eyes kept scrunching down, so I often had to pull it over her eyes, which made her pout several times. As we made our way over to the location, she kept dashing into walls and trees until I kept an iron hold on as to prevent a concussion to one of our healers.
I had to admit that it was pretty adorable to see her reaction.
"Whoa, this looks amazing."
Eyes wide and hands over her mouth, Elise was completely floored at the sight before her. Blonde pigtails rushed forward, leaving myself in the back to chuckle. Pride welled up in my heart, knowing that all the effort was worth it.
The afternoon daylight was thankfully merciful that day with a cool breeze coming from the northern portion of the fort. A single table was set up with four seats each covered with a white sheet. However, the cherry on top was the assortment of sweets that lay before me that stole the show.
Tarts of strawberry and blueberry were served on the lower tiers of dessert servers while there were few simple treats like chocolate chip cookies and white chocolate chip brownies in between the tarts. The real star of the show was the massive cupcake on the very top of the server. Chocolate in body with it halved in dark chocolate and white chocolate frosting, the cupcake shined in absolute perfection in the sunlight.
To exaggerate my huge explanation, it was so damning beautiful that I nearly cried in front of Silas.
It took patience, lots of flour, and towels to get it where it stood, but it felt good to bake something after such a long time.
I should probably make some cookies for the others. Maybe if there's any leftover ingredients, I could make some simple sugar cookies. Maybe some cookies? Brownies? I probably need to make some for Takumi for his advice because my hair is actually less of a monster to deal with in the morning now.
"Are you ready for the tea party to start," Silas asked Elise, gesturing the girl to come over.
"Yeah, I am," she took her seat before her eyes landed back on me. "Sara, c'mon and join us! It'll be fun!"
"Oh, don't mind me," I waved off the puppy look that she gave me, looking to the side. "I need to do something real quick. I'll be back though."
"Aw, okay. Be back soon, or else I'm going eat all these brownies!"
I couldn't help the smile that slipped onto my face, "I will. After all, the fruits of one's labor always taste the sweetest."
It was the perfect day for a tea party, the blonde thought. Silas made a face with frosting decorating his mouth in a black and white mustache. Elise was in the middle of eating a cookie before something knocked it from her fingers.
From where she sat, there stood a figure draped in a white cloak with a white mask covering their eyes. The hand that stretched outwards was covered with brown gloves. As it receded into the cape, Elise took note of the black tunic and grey trousers that the person wore. but not much else.
"Back off fiend!"
Letting out a cackle at the defiant look on Silas' frosted face, they smirked, "Or what? You're gonna try sweet talking? That frosting on your face speaks wonders."
They had a deep voice that seemed too even on the tone to tell if they were a girl or a boy. Elise couldn't help letting out a snicker at the flustered look on Silas' face as he wiped away sugary substance.
"If I win, you leave," the silver-haired knight stood in front of Elise, shielding her from the person.
"Hmm, and what do I get if I win?"
"Well, what is that you wish to receive?"
With a quick flick of the wrist, the masked figure tossed Silas a wooden pole. Before he could ask, a loud clack sounded out throughout the peaceful afternoon. Suddenly, the two of them were locked in close combat, entwined with the other. Pulling apart from the mess of limbs, the figure lifted the pole to try and smack Silas like they were using a club. However, the silverette was good with a sword, so he deflected the attacks with ease.
Elise was watching in absolute wonder at the fight. It was like something from a fairy tale. A knight defending the princess from a dangerous criminal. Thinking about it again, it technically was, but they weren't in love, they were like siblings, and the 'criminal' didn't seem so dangerous.
They parried, clashed, and tried to overwhelm the other.
"Hah!"
"Gah!"
One second too late, the pole was knocked out of Silas' hands, falling to Elise's feet. The masked figure was still, looking at the weaponless man in front of them.
"Do you surrender?"
"I-I," Silas looked over at Elise who was watching the encounter in utter rapture. "I won't-"
A giant tree sprouted from the feet of the masked figure's feet, ripping a shriek from them. Their cloak got caught on one of the branches. They gripped the fabric of the cape frantically as they were quite a ways from the ground.
"Leo!"
The blond man sighed, a hand resting on his tome before walking over to the two of them, "I'm glad that I came just in time. Who knows what could've happened if I hadn't heard the commotion?"
"I'm just glad that Silas was here," Elise looked at the silverette who was missing. "Huh? Where is-"
"Silas, get me down from here! I swear if you don't, I'll make sure the beat the living crap out of you when I do get down! I'm going to smack you so hard that even the Faceless will cringe!"
"Hang on Sara! I'll try finding someone who can fly! Whatever you do, don't look down!"
"Don't tell me to look down! I'll end up- Oh dammit! I LOOKED DOWN! I LOOKED DOWN! OH GODS, IT'S SO FAR UP HERE! SILAS, SAVE ME!"
"What," Elise stared at the girl who clung to the branch for dear life."That's Sara? Why did she dress up like a thug?"
"Well, we planned to do a little battle for your entertainment, and when Sara knocked out the pole and spoke, we hoped that you'd try and defeat her in my defense," Silas gestured to their current situation. "Now..."
"We better find a flier fast," Leo started walking away towards the stables as quickly as his feet could take him. "The magic casted will eventually fade into nothing, and Sara will fall."
"Wait," the knight stopped the prince. "Are there any fliers around? I thought that they were all sent to scout out the area."
The prince grimaced, "We'll have to hope that there's one around. Otherwise, we'll be one less maid in this army."
"I'd like to be referred as a butler, thank you very much!"
Silas looked up at Sara, "How did she hear us from there?"
"I honestly have no idea. Let's get a move on, shall we?"
Lia'Ceya: I'm glad that you enjoyed the chapter! I hope that the rest of the drabbles will be up-to-par with the humor.
