Hello readers! Hopefully I have some for this story. I've decided to start a new story based on FE7: Blazing Sword. I do hope you enjoy it and review! If you decided to read this story because you read what I written in my previous fanfic based in Tellius, thank you for continuing to read my work.
The Isle of Valor Conflict: Chapter I: It Begins(Prologue)
It's too damn hot here. I've been walking for days with no idea where I am. Hell, I hardly know who I am. All I know is my name. I have to hold onto that. It's the only thing I'm sure of.
A figure walks through the plains of Sacae wearing a tattered brown hooded cloak and a slightly rusted chain-mail hauberk over a padded tunic, pants, and leather boots. A sheathed bastard sword is held in a belt on the left side of his hip and a heater shield is strapped over his back.
At least I've been able to find food and water. Luckily the berries I've eaten haven't been poisonous. What I wouldn't give for some meat right no... Was that a scream? Yes, that was definitely a woman screaming, or at least yelling. I should go help her! Off to rescue a damsel in distress!
The man runs towards the sound of the woman yelling and sees a lone woman fighting an ax-wielding man while two other men watch from tents on opposite sides of the two combatants. The woman's screams seemed to be a war cry.
She seems to have that man well in hand, I should go for the man she's not fighting.
With that thought the man ran down the rise towards the tent where the other ax-wielder was, drawing his bastard sword with his right hand and shifting his shield onto his left arm. "Die you craven! I'll strike you down!"
When the bandit heard the man's shouting he laughed yelling "Meddling fool! Who do you think you are to challenge me? I am Batta the Beast!" At that the charging man slammed into Batta with his shield, causing the two of them to tumble to the ground several paces away from each other.
Both men got to their feet quickly and charged at each other. Batta with his ax raised and the other man with his shield up so the top was level with his eyes and his sword ready to thrust at Batta's torso.
When the two men closed the swordsman swung his shield out to deflect Batta's wildly powerful chop away from it's intended target. He immediately thrust at hist opponent's stomach. Batta threw himself to the his right but was still pierced in his side instead of his stomach. The other man's sword tore a deep gash in the bandit's side. Batta rolled to his feet and struck a quick horizontal chop at the other man's neck which was intercepted by the heater shield. This blow caused the swordsman to stumble back a couple of paces due to the sheer force behind it.
Batta then charged in an attempt to overwhelm the swordsman's defenses and knock him to the ground where he could more easily be dealt with. The swordsman pushed forward and slammed the edge of his shield into Batta's thigh and heard a snap as the bone broke under the blow. The bandit fell to the ground kneeling as his broken leg gave out under him. "Aghhh! Damn you! The girl would've been easy prey if you hadn't shown up!" He screamed.
The swordsman looked down at Batta with his eyes narrowed in anger. "Scum such as yourself deserves a fate worse than death." He then shifted his shield back onto his back and, using and two handed grip horizontally swung his sword and decapitated Batta with one blow. The swordsman stood with his blood-covered sword in hand looking down at the bloody corpse that had been Batta the Beast and started wondering who he really was and what he was going to do next.
Hope you enjoyed the first chapter/prologue of this story. Please review it!
