She couldn't believe it. She had finally done it, or at least was on the brink of success in her mission. Why did it have to be like this she thought standing over the burnt body of a blue haired man. Why didn't you kill me, I gave you every chance to! She felt tears welling in her eyes looking at the remains of her friend.
"Kris!" screamed her target, as he rushed to her friend. No stop! You have no business calling him a friend! She scolded herself internally, your family is dead, and he is the reason why. Her thoughts floated to Legion how he was always cheerful to be around even in the orphanage, and Clarisse the closest thing she had to a sister. They died because of Kris so it was only natural that she should get revenge. However, she didn't want revenge she would've rather died by his hands than this.
" YOU!" boomed the figure in front of her that snapped her back to reality. " You will pay for this, I can't believe you did this to him! He placed all of his faith in you, that you would choose the right path and now he is gone!" Yelled Prince Marth. The words cut deep into her as her tears fell. " You have no right to cry! Now you will pay!" he yelled as he rushed at her sword in hand ready to kill.
" MARTH NO!" yelled princess Ceada. She is an observant one, no matter this valley will be razed soon. She thought as she dodged Marth's strikes, normally precise and carefully, now sloppy and wild as he swung to kill. She continued to mumble until the tome she was holding began to glow with power. I Loved you Kris. Before anyone knew it the valley was gone the only things that remained was ash.
" Kris No!" Katarina said quietly as she opened her eyes. She looked down at her pillow which was soaked and sighed, " Thank the gods, it was a dream." She looked out the window and stared at the royal garden as she stretched. She threw her blankets off and changed from her sleep ware ( a thin purple dress) into her normal purple robes and grabbed her tome. She walked to the training grounds and saw him, it was Kris, training with Ogma from Talys. Katarina stared at Kris and then looked away quickly, I shouldn't be thinking those things, as she gave a slight smile a daydreamed about King Marth's most trusted guard. She slowly began to fall for him as they trained but the thing that proved the feelings true was when he refused to attack her and almost lost his life doing so.
" Ow! Hey watch it Katarina!" said a man on who was running wild causing them to bump into each other.
" Ah, Luke how are you today?" She said brushing dirt off of her robes and flinched at the sudden pain in her backside.
" Can't talk gotta beat Kris! Today's the day!" Luke yelled running away as fast as he could. Good luck Kris is in top form today! She thought and shared a silent giggle. It's nice to see that everything is the same as before the war of heroes Katarina thought and continued walking as she prepared to teach a class of tactics to the new recruits.
She opened the doors to the dusty classroom and recited a spell to place the contents of the tome on the board for others to see and waited in the room for the recruits. Her thoughts trailed back to the day when she first met Kris and lead him to win against Jaegen in a mock battle. If only I could just remember those days. She thought. The nightmares were more frequent and getting worse, many ending with Kris' death. She snapped back to life when the recruits flowed in.
"Good morning I hope your ready for today's lesson!" Katarina said in a false sense of cheer. The class only grumbled at her and got ready for the ordeal of tactics. " Today we will learn about the pincer attack, it is when you or an enemy force surrounds the oppression and then launches an all out attack, can anyone think of an examples?"
" The attempted assassination on Wrys." Said one with an evil smile aimed at the instructor causing her to turn pale.
" Miss Katarina… are you okay?" asked another one student
" Ah, yes good example Thomas, the assassins formed their ranks around Wrys and pushed forward from both sides until there ranks were broken by King Marth and Sire Kris." she said in a shaky voice and countied on with her lesson until noon when the class was released.
" Hey there, traitor where you goin huh?" Sneered Thomas, "You know I've been thinking if you met an unfortunate end here I bet the king would turn a blind eye. After all you attempted to kill him numerous times." He said drawing a dagger and getting closer to Katarina, until she was push against the wall.. Dammit I left my tome in the classroom! She thought while keeping a calm facade. The blade was dangerously close to her neck, as Thomas held a face of sadistic joy, until someone else enter.
" Whats going on here?" said a muscular man with a steel blade and blue hair. Thank the Gods she thought as Kris grabbed Thomas and threw him off of her.
" Just a friendly chat!" said the literally cutthroat with a nervous grin, "In fact we just finished have a good one sire." He said with fake enthusiasm, Katarina could feel the murderous intent radiating from him as he left
" Tch he's lucky I just pulled off you. Are you okay?" he said in a gentle smile that instantly relaxed the purple haired mage.
" Ahh, Kris, saving me again." she said shyly with a slight blush.
Kris laughed at her " Well of course, you are a precious friend I don't know what I would do without my favorite strategist!" Katarina smiled but felt a little hurt. Only a friend huh? Well I can change that! "Anyway, Katarina King Marth invited me for lunch, would you also like to join?"
" Of course!" She practically yelled.
" Well, lets go." He said. They walked down the hall speaking about things before the war like Kris' grandfathers hellishly effective training, and Katarina's studying into the power of ancient dark magic.
" If I could learn how to tame the raw power think of the possibilities!" she exclaimed, " An strategy would be better and more effective, which would lessen our losses!" she said with a small grin.
" Hey….."
"Huh, Gah"
" Please, be careful" said Kris as he grabbed Katarina's arm. " I know your doing this in noble sentimentality but if you were hurt or changed like those before you…. I don't know what I would do without you." He said to the mage blushing. She was as well, she knew of his fear of physical contact with a woman but he held onto her arm, she knew he meant this.
" I will." she said softly. After hearing this he removed his arm and they continued to the dining hall now speaking about Luke's 5 defeat this week, and it was only Wednesday. When the finally reached their destination and found King Marth and Queen Ceada waiting for Kris till they began to eat their meal. Although surprised the King had no problem with the strategist to dine with them.
" In fact this makes my life easier," he stated with a gentle smile, " I have heard that brigands have been attacking a small town near the sea. Kris I need you to take care of it and Katarina I need you to help rebuild some parts of the village." the two shook their heads obediently to the King's orders.
" Well I feel uneasy in the room, how about we talk about the newest recruits, shall we?" Commented Ceada. The rest of the meal was boasting to the royal couple about the potential to be seen in their new recruits until the meal ended. Kris and Marth wandered off to speak in private leaving the women alone. "So what happened?" asked the queen.
" What do you mean?"
Ceada laughed " Darling I've worn that embarrassed look many times,so what happened? Did Kris do something?" she asked in a sweet voice. Katarina liked Ceada, even though she tried to kill Marth many times she treats her with the dignity and respect she earned late into the war.
" Well he touched me…" Her voice began to trail off.
" Did he make you his!?" Ceada asked flabbergasted and blushing wildly. " No wonder you two took so long." she said with a giggle.
" NO not that, he just grabbed my arm. It was sweet because he hates touching women." She said in a panic
" Oh well forgive me then. So he's getting closer to you huh?" Ceada askes " Well I suggest you make a move on him soon, him Catria seem to be getting along well too!" sending Katarina's mind into overdrive comparing herself to the middle whitewing, and she wasn't winning. "Don't fret, just use this mission to get closer it's a small band of brigands only the two of you will go. You will find the perfect to confess I'm sure you will." she said with a large smile
" Yes your highness."
" You know I hate noble titles, right?" she said following the statement with another giggle.
" My apologies." Katarina said as she bowed her head to her queen.
" Katarina, we will make haste!" Yelled Kris who seemed energized " So hurry and pack!"
" Right!" she exclaimed, I will make him mine …. I can feel it
Well I hope that wasn't too bad. Cliched? Maybe. Short? Hell yeah, but hey gotta start somewhere right? Anyway I'm working on chapter 2 which will be told from Kris' POV so look forward to that, anyway thanks again for reading!
