My first posting on this site! (... and it's absolute rubbish) Oh well. I promise that if you read and review (with constructive criticism only, please) I will try to improve for my next fanfic. If I don't know what I got wrong with this, I won't be able to correct it, so please tell me. Thank-you! Even if you end up hating this (and me), please tell me how to improve it!!!

By the way, 'They' are the other marquesses, and the minor nobility of Caelin. Somehow mentioning them by name didn't seem right...

--------------------------------------------

I do not own Fire Emblem or anything else mentioned here. Not even the words I use. Presumably, whoever invented the English language does that.


Noble Lady of Caelin


They never thought

That a mere Sacaen girl

Would fight for their land

Save its people from the tyrant.

I proved them wrong.

They never thought

That a Sacaen girl

Could keep a throne:

Could hold the hearts of her people

With her own,

And smile, cry, laugh

With them.

I proved them wrong.

And they never thought

That a Sacaen girl could abandon everything

To sit and sew and marry with honour;

Live in a cold stone hall

As a noble lady should.

I failed then.

But they never thought

That when I left,

To be a nomad once again,

And to find the one I loved,

In the place I loved,

They would all cry for me.

I won.

Please review! Flames are not accepted, but I do want constructive criticism...like I said.

Thank-you once again for reading this!
