Arone
There were many problems in the world for there was a new threat, the Order of Shadowfire. Our tale begins in the Kingdom of Jarsa on the continent of Arone with a very troubled lord, he had red hair standing at about 5 ft 10 wearing a white shirt and pants wearing his sword, Oledros, by his side. He hurried down the hall; the Lord slammed the note right next to Kale his bodyguard's head who woke immediately from sleep, "What is it? Brigands? Thieves? I shall smite them all!", he yelled dramatically swinging his lance in random directions not being fully awake. He finally awoke fully and saw where he was, "Oh… Sorry Zaph." "We're in big trouble", Zaph said shoving the note toward Kale. Kale, who wore faded red heavy armor and had spiked up orange hair, tried to take note with his armored hands but dropped it, he stood there staring at it then attempted to pick it up. His armor just scraped against the stone floor, Zaph smiled a small bit then picked it up himself and handed it to Kale who grumbled in thanks. "Ok le's see 'ere Uhhhh, De-ar Zaph, we da order of shadowfire aree toe at-tac-k yo-u in own mont's timee, we will enjoy spil-ling you- ree bloooood purse-on-a-lee (just say it to yourself you'll know what I'm talking about)… What in 'ell's name is a purse on a lee?" Even with the amount of worry Zaph was in he couldn't help but smirk widely. A man who happened to be Zaph's tactician then walked into the room reading a book. He was only about 5 ft 9 with his brown hair hanging in his eyes, wearing dull green light armor. "Hey York look out!", Zaph threw the note at him and it hit him in the face. York looked up from his book with a glare that scared both Zaph and Kale, "I'm reading… what did I say about annoying me when I'm reading? You know what you'll never learn what do you want?" "Look at the note on the ground", Zaph pointed. York sighed bent over and grabbed the note and read it over his eyes widened as he got farther. "Life is never handed to you on a silver platter", York concluded as he finished reading. "Tell me about it", Zaph mumbled to himself. "So what are we gonna do?", Kale asked in a clueless state of mind. York put his head his hands ignoring Kale, "Must I think of everything?" "Well it's sort of what I pay you for", Zaph replied with his smart ass like demeanor. York ignored this comment as well since it was supposed to be rhetorical, "Ok ok I may have something what if we go out and get military help and have the people hide while we do so ready to fight when we return." "Yeah that's a pretty good plan… except for the fact they've already taken the rest of the bloody continent! There is no allies to speak of!", Zaph yelled. York replied simply, "Who said allies wouldn't come from across the sea." This took a moment to sink in before Zaph spoke, "Why would they help us?" York shrugged, "Maybe they want the Order of Shadowfire down as much as we do." "That's assuming they know of the Shadowfire though", Zaph shot back. "Aye that would help but do we really have a choice?", York replied. Zaph stared him down for a few seconds, "You and Kale are coming with me", Zaph clarified. "Sure, bring Ralts too though", York said. "What in bloody hell are we talking about!", Kale blurted out randomly.
Tellius
Meanwhile near a fort across the sea a large man lounged on the grass, his hair was spiked and blue, a long golden sword lying beside him. He was enjoying his time of peace for he had just killed the goddess of order ironically with the help of the goddess of chaos. "Hey Ike", a small voice sung from behind. He just let out, "Shhhhhh you're ruining my concentration." "Concentration? What the heck are you concentrating on", the girl asked curiously. "Sleeping Mist, sleeping", Ike mumbled lazily. She kicked him playfully then sat beside him after he barely flinched. Ike and Mist were brother and sister which explains their attitudes towards one another. There was silence for a bit before Mist spoke, "Ike?" "Yeah", he answered sleepily. "You really scared all of us when you said you were going to leave Tellius… you better not ever do that ever again", Mist chastised. Ike seemed to wake up immediately, "I know and I do regret putting everyone through that those few days… and I do promise never to do it again." "I'm touched Ike I can smell the love in the air", a man with light blue hair and a tail walking up teased. "Shut up Ranulf", Ike mumbled lying back down. "But Ike I thought we had something I'm hurt", Ranulf said with mock hurt and a smirk on his face. "Once again I go back to shut up", Ike replied with a smile fighting to come onto his face. Another man now walked up, "Why wasn't I invited to the get together?" "I'm sorry do I have a sign over my head that says 'interrupt Ike's resting time' that I'm not aware of cause everyone seems to think there is", Ike sat up and looked at them. "But-", Mist started but was cut off by Ike, "Not you Mist." "Oh come on Ike I need a sparring partner you know how Titania wants us in top condition all the time", the new man complained. "Boyd stop complaining spar with… Mist she needs to sharpen her swordplay", Ike smiled in a mocking way at Mist. "She should spend time with you she is your girlfriend despite my wishes", Ike teased. "Oh well when you put it that way, come on Mist", Boyd said grinning. Mist jumped up immediately and ran after him. Ranulf then sat beside Ike, "You know of course they aren't going to spar right." "Of course I do they're probably making out right now", Ike said cringing at the thought. "You know I could bring Lethe down to give you something to do", Ranulf teased. Ike looked at him strangely, "She'd probably claw my face off if I even tried… hypothetically of course." "Oh of course", Ranulf laughed, "Though she would yes." "Somehow you're my friend", Ike mumbled to himself. "You should try it; it would be a treat for my soul", Ranulf laughed once again. "What would be a treat her clawing my face off or her reaction?", Ike asked lazily. "Ah the treat would be a perfect combination of both and of course your reaction to her reaction just to spice things up", Ranulf said with a cocky grin. "Yeah anyway she wouldn't appreciate this conversation so we're gonna stop", Ike said. "Why Ike trying to get o her good side?", Ranulf grinned (he never actually stopped grinning for this whole thing). "Yes I don't have the luxury of being Laguz in which are the only ones she trusts", Ike sighed. "Ike she trusts you she just doesn't want to admit it", Ranulf said seriously. "I don't know… I wish just everyone would get over their prejudices", Ike sighed again. Ranulf clapped him on the back, "They will, eventually they will… now come on we're going to be late for lunch." "Yeah", Ike said getting up grabbed his sword but paused in mid-stride. "What?", Ranulf asked. "Get down!", Ike tackled him to the ground. Nothing happened, "Gotcha didn't I", Ike smiled then walked away. "That was not funny! You scared the crap out of me!", Ranulf yelled but Ike just laughed. Ranulf smiled himself but he turned… I think someone is actually out there… nah it's probably nothing. Ranulf ran to catch up with Ike so he could hit him.
