A/N: Greetings. This is my first fanfic, so hates and constructive criticism will be tolerated. This may not be as good as other Chessshipping fanfics like Caelitea's Phantasmagoria or some other Chessshipping fanfic, but please bear with me and find some time to read this. My update schedule would be once a week, since I have so much stuff to do, being a high school sophomore and all. If I fail to update on a certain week, I'll make up for it by adding another chapter, and another if I missed 2 weeks. So, mathematically speaking, x=number of weeks I missed, y=1+x, 1 being the number of chapters I'll upload every week. I hope you'll stick with me until the end of this fanfic. Requests will also be accepted. All that aside, sit back and enjoy!
Fall
She was one of the best, he knew. One of the smartest and logical persons he knew in his life. What he didn't know was why she abandoned her post as League Champion. He doesn't know why she'd cast away something that she's worked so hard for. So when news came that she stepped down and that he was being called out of his so-called retirement to become Champion again (he doesn't want to know how the League found his apartment in Aspertia), he immediately told the League that Iris might be a more suitable replacement, gathered his things, and left to look for Hilda.
He first goes to League HQ, hoping to find clues as to Hilda's whereabouts. On the way there, he finds a man he was not expecting to see.
N.
Immediately setting down near N, he shouts at him and asks, "N? What're you doing here? Have you seen Hilda or something?"
"I don't think I do, Hilbert. As to why I'm here, I'm just walking around," N said, a friendly smile on his face. He looked just like that day 2 years ago, when he and Hilda defeated N on his accursed castle.
"You don't know too, huh? Damn it," Hilbert muttered under his breath, though N was able to catch his first sentence.
"Tell you what, Hilbert, if I encounter her, I'll tell you where she is immediately. While going around, I'm bound to meet her soon. But you should keep looking for her all the same," N suggested.
Hilbert pondered on N's suggestion, and by the time he decided on something, N was already beginning to leave.
"... Alright, N. But the moment you see her you tell me at once, alright?"
"I find your lack of trust in me very disrespectful. Very well, I shall send for you when I do see her," And with that, N left.
Hilbert stood there for a while, lost in thought. 'What's gotten into you, Hilda?'
How was it? Tappity-tap that review button and let me know. OYA!
