I look out onto the grounds of Nox Castle, wanting to be out there, fighting with my people, but as the General, they say it's imperative to stay on this spot…
A hawk comes into view, he could break our lines easily with his advantage of flying, I look around in panic, Leonardo is already on it, the Laguz comes down. The panic diminishes slightly and I go back to observing this desperate battle.
Edward stands next to Nolan and they guard the side Ballistae, Aran is next to Leonardo, Laura stands close to me, ready to heal with her physic staff, or put a Hawk to sleep. Tauroneo and Meg stand side by side on the main stairs, Sothe is not to far behind them, ready to throw a knife. We all fight for Daein…But this battle is hopeless…I see a sight that makes me panic, the Greil mercenaries are about to launch their attack…A tall Reaver with a Cleric behind him, both looking grim, but together, they will most definitely break our front lines, I fear for Tauroneo… A green haired boy with a bow comes up closer, he aims his bow at Fiona who stood up on a ledge, perhaps he will miss…She has the upper hand…
The shot doesn't miss, Fiona falls and Laura cries out, we are outmatched, the Reaver prepares to climb the ledge. Tauroneo curses and I look up, just in time to see General Ike take down Tauroneo, Ranulf takes down Meg, Sothe tries to make one last attempt to protect me, but he's knocked out.
I look at Ike with sad eyes, and I see him stare up at me, pain etched on his face for an unknown reason.
In my arms, I finger the Thani tome that Fiona had given me and I bite my lip, Ike looks up at me but doesn't ready his sword…This confuses me and I wait for what he will do, "Micaiah, this is madness, there must be some way to avoid this!" Ike yells up at me.
I blink, "I am sorry, but whatever you may think, this is the only way for Daein to survive."
"…Talk to me, we can get through this, I don't want you to die." He pauses, I stare at him in surprise, a pink tint touches his cheeks and he quickly says, "I don't want your soldiers to die. Please, talk to me."
I look over at Sothe, Ike could of killed him, but my dear friend still breathes, "I now see why Sothe spoke so highly of you…"
"Oh?" His eyes are on me, it makes me uncomfortable but my gaze falls to his and I continue on to answer him.
"You truly are a good man, but it makes what I have to do even more hard…" I bite back a sob, and keep my face calm, maybe not, because he looks at me, concerned.
"Why is that?"
"Prepare yourself, Ike." I ready my tome, and he readies his sword.
"Very well, Good bye, Micaiah." As he says my name, I shiver, but I can't feel this way. I speak, he hunches over.
A glow of light goes above him, spins and starts to fall…He dodges just in time, and there is a mixture of being startled and something else…
I would never admit it…But…
I am happy that I missed.
