Welcome to the first chapter of "The Mercenary who Doesn't Care!" This is the narrated version of Reflet, who is the twin brother of Raven, who recently lost her memory! Let us begin shall we? ~Xe
Chapter 1: The Departure
I came out of the forest looking for Raven, who I told to wait out in the fields for me. I looked around, seeing no one.
"Damn it, where did she go?" I said, looking around.
I saw the burning village in the distance, and started to head towards it, seeing if that is where she went. As I looked, there were three people talking with her, and a man behind her, raising his weapon. I dashed over there, drawing my sword.
"Look out!" the girl in front of Raven said.
I had stabbed the man behind her as she turned around, pulling my sword out of my chest. I gave a heavy pant, looking at them with sweat.
"Thank you for that, Reflet." She said.
"Don't worry about it, Raven. It isn't the first time." I said, putting away my sword.
Raven put her hand to her head, scratching her hair. I looked and saw a bump on her head looking down.
"Damn it. I leave you for an hour and you lose your memories, don't you?" I shouted.
"Thanks to Raven's help here sir; we cleared the town of these bandits. Without her strategy I don't know what we would have done." The man with blue hair and clothes said, immediately dubbing Azure.
"She was always the one who would get us out of trouble. Anyway, it's meeting you all. Name's Reflet, wandering mercenary and Raven's twin brother." I said, extending my hand.
Azure took it, shaking it firmly.
"Chrom, can we stay a little while? We can wait for Emm can't we?" the younger girl said, which I dubbed Twintails because of her large pigtails.
"Unfortunately milady, I believe it would be best if we made due haste to Ylisstol." a knight donned in blue, I named Seriousy, due to his serious-like attitude.
"Awww." Twintails said.
"Are you going to come with us, Reflet?" Raven asked.
I looked at them, thinking to myself. Would it be best for Raven to go off on her own? Would it be better for me to be alone? I guess it's for the best.
"No. I think I'll go off on my own, maybe head to Regna Ferox, due some mercenary work. To be honest, You're 17, and I think it is time I stop being the overprotective older brother. Maybe we will meet again." I said, smiling.
"Um- okay. Until we meet again then." Raven said, grasping me in a short hug.
As Raven, and all of them started to walk away, I turned towards the direction I had come from, heading towards Regna Ferox.
