Hello, so um, yes, this is first fic so be nice. I just read the rules and well… they scare me, like most rules. So if I write chapter one and don't do chapter two for eight years, it's because I'm scared.

Disclaimer: I don't own Fire Emblem; in fact I don't even own this computer. What I do own is about two billion cuddly toys, yey! See this little pink fuzzy bunny with the heart shaped nose? He's Raven. And my little green frog with top hat is Pent. And…

Ok I'll just start now.

Wisps of violet hair blew across the young mages pale face. He pulled it back behind his ears and began to attack targets with his thunder magic.

Priscilla watched Erk at his training from the distance. He battled with such grace and power ever since Priscilla evolved she longed for him to teach her how to properly use anima magic.

Priscilla thought back to the time her and Erk last spoke.

"Erk…"

"Lady Priscilla? What is the matter?" Erk asked, "You seem ill at ease."

"Erk I'd like to thank you for your service." She continued.

"Eh?" Erk was confused as to why Priscilla was thanking him at this time.

"I hired you to protect me... And your contract ends today." She explained.

Erk understood what she was saying. "Eh? Ah… now that you mention it, I suppose it does. But, what do you plan to do now, Lady Priscilla?

"I… am in debt to Lord Eliwood. I intend to follow him until his expedition is ended."

"Perhaps, you might like to extend my contract…?" Priscilla was touched that Erk wanted to continue to protect her, but sadly she could not allow him to.

"No… regretfully, I cannot. I left on this journey without my family's permission. Even were I to keep you on with me… I'm afraid I would have no gold to pay you."

"I see… then, there is nothing to be done about it. My contract with you ends now, Lady Priscilla."

Priscilla didn't know what to say, she just looked back at him solemnly.

"Well, shall we be on out way?"

"What…? But, Erk, you…" She was cut off.

"I have decided to join this troop to further my own training. I shall guard you, Lady Priscilla, as part of that training. …If that is not an imposition?" As Erk said that she then thought that maybe they could still stay together.

"Erk… of course it is no imposition! But… but then, I should think it odd… Um, perhaps, you could not call me 'Lady'?" She asked.

"Well then… Priscilla?"

"Yes… Yes, that sounds much nicer."

"As you wish."

"Now, Erk, I trust you will do your duty well!"

"As always Pricilla!"

He promised to continue protecting her, but lately he had seemingly been avoiding her. "What's gotten into him?" Priscilla thought to herself. Had she said something that offended him? Maybe she should just ask him straight out why.

"Come to think of it, I don't have many friends that are boys at all." She told herself. "Let me see… there's my brother Raven, Lucius, Batre and Wil…"(I hope you notice the link between them) "A quarter of those boys are my brother. But I'm friends with almost every girl in this group; why is it so different." The only girls that Priscilla was not friends with were Florina, because she was so quiet and they never talked, and Sami. Sami was the group's tactician she was very young, brown hair and wore a long green cape that matched her large eyes. "Sami's friends with everyone, well, at least she tries to be. But she follows Lord Eliwood everywhere. Perhaps if she didn't we may even talk. He always steers her away whenever I get close…"

"Is something bothering you Lady Priscilla?"

She turned round and saw Lucius and Wil standing in front of her.

"No, I just…" She looked back hoping to see Erk but he had gone. "I was just thinking…" she then walked off not wanting to share her thoughts with her brother's friends. Unfortunately Wil followed her.

"Priscilla!" He called. "W-Wait up!"

Priscilla stopped walking and let Wil catch up with her. "Are you sure that you're alright?"

"Yes I… well ok I'm not. It's just… not boys ever talk to me." Wil looked offended. "Oh, well yes, there's you, Lucius, Batre and my brother, but that's it. Not even Erk will talk to me and we used to be so close. What's wrong with me?"

"Well, I guess they could all think you're weird because you're so quiet or…" Wil was not helping.

Ok sorry that was so short and not much happened. I think I'll try to do the next chapter today as well because now I feel bad about not doing much.
