Crown of Wood [ Myrrh & Ephraim ]

[ Starter for @fightdriven! ]

The crunch of footsteps against branches startled her out of her leisurely day. Almost instinctively, Myrrh ducked between the branches of a bush to hide, for fear of someone with unsavory intentions finding her.

As of late, no one had really come to the Darkling Woods. Perhaps it was the restoration effort that was so time-consuming, or the long trek it often took to reach the Darkling Woods. Myrrh could not say that she welcomed new people, but that she was simply wary to them.

A figure was approaching the clearing. Their movements were confident and strong, as if they knew what they were doing. Their silhouette came into focus the closer they got, and there was something familiar about that figure. Only when he stepped into the clearing did Myrrh realize it was Ephraim.

She couldn’t help but gasp before extending her wings and standing up, waving her hand. “Big Brother...!”

Rural Spirit | Eliwood & Ephraim (modern AU)

@fightdriven

The air felt wonderful, caressing his skin and passing through his hair as he drove. The windows were rolled down, welcoming in the fresh, countryside air. The sun was high in the sky and the farmland surrounding them seemed endless as they drove down the road, hardly passing another vehicle. They spotted far more cattle than people, grazing on the lands languidly, uninterested with their passing. The only buildings they encountered were barns and homes, placed generously apart from one another. Pherae, Eliwood’s hometown.

Eliwood passed a glance to Ephraim, who had been focused at looking out the window, likely attempting to stem boredom. He laughed softly to himself. He could hardly blame him for feeling as such, since it was such a long drive without knowing their destination. For a while, the only sound between them was the car radio, playing the most recent hits on at a comfortable volume. 

Finally, he slows at an unmarked road with a single mailbox at its end and turns onto it. It only holds enough room for a single car, but Eliwood seems unperturbed.

“We’re almost there.” He reassured him. After passing an area with numerous trees, a large property comes into view, showcasing grand stables, barns, and a glamorous estate, befitting a family with wealth. There are horses in the field, that watch their car as they approach. Eliwood pulls into a sheltered parking spot, rolling up the windows before turning to Ephraim with a grin.

“We’re here!”

Fill the Silence | Eliwood & Ephraim (modernAU)

@fightdriven

The awkward silence that had fallen between them was beginning to feel uncomfortable. 

As with any typical Friday night, Hector had invited both Eliwood and Ephraim over for typical evening of drinking, arm-resting, and the ginger-haired man pleading for the both of them to be more careful. Everything had started off per usual, when Hector received an unexpected call. Without much explanation, Hector had darted out the door, leaving Eliwood, Ephraim, a pizza, and an awkward silence. It wasn’t as though Eliwood didn’t consider Ephraim to be a friend. They were in the same friend group and therefore, had talked to each other before. However, there had rarely ever been a situation in which it were just the two of them alone.

While Eliwood was typically a social butterfly, he admittedly did not know much about Ephraim, aside from some of the impulsive antics Hector and he often undertook. If he was honest with himself, he wasn’t quite sure if he could even list a hobby that belonged to the other man. Taking a deep breath, he composed himself, deciding it would be best to dissipate this tension in a timely manner if they were to become comfortable once again.

“It’s just like Hector to run out with much explanation, isn’t it?” Eliwood broke the silence, a small laugh escaping him.

♟ Courage

From Rate My Muse meme.

♟ Courage - 10/10

FIND YOUR COURAGE! In all seriousness though, Eliwood is incredibly courageous. He endured a great deal of turmoil in his life at a young age, including losing many that he was close to, avoiding assassination, confronting dragons, and even a hopeless battle. Despite how difficult his journey became, he saw through it to the end. At one point, he even believed that he would not be able to defeat Nergal, but continued forward anyway.
