Return of the sweet, gentle dragon-girl

This picture is the counterpart to this picture, and based on another Enya song: On Your Shore from the Watermark CD. You see, I played through the game the first time without getting any supports (though I broke down and supported Eliwood and Hector to C at the Shrine of Seals level because the ‘support’ option in the menu was bugging me) and then Ninian left for her otherworld home (well, she died first, and I cried for two days because Nergal was so evil and Ninian was so good). So, I wondered, if she was in love with Eliwood, how did they get a happy ending? How was Roy born?
The obvious answer is… Eliwood married someone else. But that couldn’t be! Of all the Fire Emblem games I have played, Blazing Sword is the one with the most obvious pairings – or at least with the ones I’m most set in (Wil and Florina, for example). So Ninian had to marry him somehow.

So, that’s why I drew this picture. I made up a story where Ninian can’t bear being seperated from Eliwood anymore and tells her brother Nils to seal the Dragon’s Gate behind her; she’s going back to the Elibe world. And she doesn’t swim from Valor Isle – where the Dragon’s Gate is – to Elibe, either… some boat comes along since Eliwood and Hector and Lyn started publishing the fact that the island is NOT cursed. On the left is her exiting the front door of the Dragon’s Gate, and the middle is her on the sea shore of Valor Isle, and the one on the right is her meeting Eliwood in the garden of Castle Pherae.
