Prince Mars, heir to the throne of Aritia, has fled his homeland and the invaders bent on conquering the entire continent. Together with the Aritian Knights he hides and bides his time in the friendly island kingdom of Talus. Though criticized for constantly daydreaming or being in a bad mood, he has found a friend in Sheida, the princess of Talus. Together they indulge in hayrides and shopping trips, or just standing upon the parapet and looking out over the land. However, despite how pleasant life is, he cannot forget the circumstances that separated him from his land and forced his beloved sister to sacrifice herself for him.

Where it came from
The 1996 Fire Emblem original video animation was produced by the studio KSS and released in Japan as a two-episode series. It was adapted from the first game in the franchise, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light, marking one of the earliest instances of the series being translated into an animated format. The production was intended to capitalize on the rising popularity of the tactical role-playing game on the Famicom, though it famously covered only a portion of the original narrative.
The character designs were handled by Kunihiro Abe, who sought to translate the high-fantasy aesthetic of the pixelated sprites into a recognizable anime style of the mid-nineties. The project is primarily remembered for its distinctive localization efforts during that era, including an ambitious but ultimately incomplete attempt to distribute the episodes in North America. Reception of the ova has been historically mixed, often noted by fans for its idiosyncratic interpretation of the source material's lore and dialogue.
