For those who haven't realized this yet, this is the follow up to the 'Dragons, Dragons, Dragons PROLOGUE'. I am so excited for this project! Mainly 'cause this will be a very LONG one and I am improving (at least, I like to believe I am). ^_^' I am super excited to see how this turns out! I hope you enjoy this story as much as I am going to! ^_^ I am hoping to keep the 'every Saturday' routine just like I did with the prologue. I will try my hardest! XD Anyway, please go ahead and read!

Chapter 1:

Walking away from the tiny home that I was living in for a few days I look up with my pale lavender eyes to the sky. My short white skirt was gently blowing in the breeze. I had on my long dark green boots that cut off below the knees and matching colored t-shirt. It was sleeveless but it did come with these long pieces of cloth that covers my arms acting as sleeves starting from below the shoulder all the way down to my wrists. It then widens to cover half of my hands. My mid-length black hair was in a high pony-tail like usual so my curls were dancing around my head (since I have long hair).

With my things in my bag, my quiver filled with arrows, and bow on my back, I felt comfortable and ready to leave. It will be sad to leave another kind, simple, and happy village again. I don't want to stay for too long, though. If I do, I would get attached. It is a nice place but this isn't where I want to live and stay. At least, not on my own.

"Luna!" a little girl calls for me.

I turn around and smile at her. "What's up, Annie?" I ask her.

The little five year old runs up and hugs my legs. "Do you have to go?" I could see her eyes were teary.

I place my hand on top of her head and rub it soothingly. "I'm sorry, sweetie. I do."

A tear falls down her cheek. "Will you write to me? And visit?"

"Of course!" Annie lets go of my legs. She then puts her arms up. I pick the little girl up and hug her tightly. Gently, I place her back down. "You better go see you mommy before she gets worried, ok?"

"Ok!" she says smiling. "Bye bye, Luna!" She waves quickly then runs back home.

I rub my eyes feeling the tears coming. She is such a sweet, innocent child. I will miss her. I must continue traveling, though. I need to find a place to settle. I have visited home a few times but I want to find a place of my own. It would be nice if I was with my brother but he travels to a bunch of random places training on being a tactician. It's been a while since I've last seen him.

"Hmm… You look like you've some experience with battle."

I turn at the entrance of the village curious. An old man is talking to… Dorcas? Is that really him? I thought he was back home with his wife! Why would he be here? I slowly walk up to them. The old man hands him what looks like a book. Dorcas then turns around.

"Dorcas!" I call out jogging over to him.

He sees me and his eyes grow wide. "Luna? Is that you?"

I was in front of him catching my breath. "Yep! The one and only!" I say smiling brightly.

He smiles. "Good to see you. How are you?"

"Good." I then look at him curiously. "What are you doing here? I thought you would be home with Natalie."

He nods. "I was, until I decided to help Lord Eliwood. He is looking for his father."

I gasp. "The one that vanished?"

Dorcas nods. "What are you doing here?"

I smile. "I've been traveling. Helping people out here and there." An idea comes to my head. "May I travel with you? I've nowhere to go and it would be nice to be of some help."

He pauses for a few seconds. He then smiles. "I would like that. You should go talk to Lord Eliwood. Oh, and I should warn you, there are bandits that are attacking us right now. Willing to help right away?"

"No problem!" I exclaim beaming. "Let's go!"

I run out of the village following Dorcas. We run down the long path and up to the other one. Ahead I could see some people fighting. There was a man with blue armor and cape along with red hair that stood out like a sore thumb. I remember him from last year. He had helped out Lyn before when Nils and Ninian were in trouble. Very nice guy. I hear someone giving orders and I look for that familiar voice.

"Mark!" I exclaim.

He sees me and looks surprised. "Luna! What are you doing here?"

I quickly run up to him and hug him tightly. It's been too long! I back up. "I just happened to be here. Now I'm going to help out! Feel free to give me orders!" I say with a 'thumbs up'.

He smiles looking really happy. I've always been able to make him smile. It's what siblings do. Be there for each other. I want to be of use to him like I was last year when we were helping Lyn. Speaking of which, I wonder how everyone is doing.

"Go up and help Eliwood!" he orders me. I immediately nod.

While he continued yelling his orders I ran up ahead as told. Lord Eliwood notices me and immediately takes the defense. I hold my hands up.

"I'm on your team!" I exclaim. "I'm Mark's sister and I'm here to help you guys out!"

His eyes grow wide. He then relaxes. "Oh, hello. I think I've seen you before."

I nod. "Last year, remember? You helped Lyn out and I was part of her group. You also saved Ninian from those bad guys."

He smiles. "That's right. Nice to meet you, uh…"

"Luna." I say smiling.

"Luna." He repeats. "Alright. Let's go finish these guys off."

"Sounds good to me."

A man with a sword was charging at the young lord so I shot him with my arrow. He immediately fell over in pain. Lord Eliwood then finishes him off with his rapier. A very elegant sword that is fit for a noble. There was only one or two guys left that a knight in dull red armor and a man with heavy blue armor finished off. Everyone then gathered up. I stood behind my brother feeling a bit timid.

"Whew… Is that all of them?" the man in blue armor asks.

Lord Eliwood looks at him surprised. "Hector! Where did you come from?"

Hector smiles. "Well met, Eliwood."

"Yes, but… what are you doing here?"

"You wound me!" he says looking sad and slightly angry.

Lord Eliwood just looks at him confused. "How do you mean?"

"You're looking for your father, right? Why didn't you send word?"

He pauses. "Your brother was just named Marquess Ostia. He's going to be very busy setting up his court council. Lord Uther must need your support. You are his brother, after all." Lord Eliwood explains.

Oh, so he is a lord? Oops! Lord Hector glares at him. "My brother is not so weak. Oh, he has mentioned some things in public, but… He knew exactly what I was planning, and he let me go."

"Is that so? Well then, it would be unwise to refuse his kindness!" Lord Eliwood says beaming. "It does me good to see you, Hector. Thank you."

"Think nothing of it." The knight in dull red armor then stands next to Lord Hector. "You know Oswin, don't you?"

"Well met, Lord Eliwood." Oswin says smiling.

"It is good to see you again, Oswin. So you came as well?"

I quickly was starting to get bored of the conversation. It's nice that they have met up again but I don't really know these people that much. I look at Mark.

"How did you end up working for him?" I ask quietly.

He looks down at me. "A knight of his found me in the village. I offered my assistance to the lord and he accepted it."

I smile. "That's nice of you. How is your training going?"

Mark smiles. "I'm getting better. I still need more practice and experience, though."

"Helping Lyn was quite the experience, though."

He nods.

"Lord Hector! Why didn't you tell me the fighting was done!" a familiar voice exclaims. I look at the group.

Another familiar person, a man with a red cloak, runs up as well. "I apologize for the interruption. I couldn't restrain her any longer!" I cover my mouth to stop the laugh that was daring to escape my lips. That is very much like Serra.

Lord Eliwood looks at them strangely. "Are these your companions, Hector?"

Lord Hector looks at them with an eyebrow raised. "Oh… Yes, I suppose they are. One might have hoped for better, but…"

Serra places her hands on her hips. "That was uncalled for! I can't believe you said that!" She then looks at the thief. "Matthew, did you hear what he said about you?"

Matthew looks at her surprised. "Me? He was talking about you!" he exclaims.

That's when I laugh. Matthew looks at me surprised. I smile waving at him. Serra doesn't seem to notice me and continues glaring at him.

"Hector," Lord Eliwood says quickly, "why don't you introduce us?"

Lord Hector nods and looks at the pink haired girl. "The noisy one is Serra. Believe it or not, she's a cleric."

She smiles at Lord Eliwood. "Yes, I am Serra, my lord. Pleased to meet you." She says politely.

Lord Hector then looks at the thief. "And that's Matthew. He does a lot of… sneaking around." He says carefully.

"My lord." Matthew says bowing slightly.

"Sneaking… around." Lord Eliwood says making it sound more like a question.

Matthew then looks a bit uncomfortable. "Well… I, er… gather information, open doors, chests, and such. I've got… nimble fingers."

Lord Eliwood looks at him with a raised eyebrow. "That sounds… like a thief's work…"

Lord Hector speaks up. "Well… Don't let it worry you."

"But…"

"This journey… I suspect it will be harder than you imagine. You may have to accept things like this if you want to survive."

Lord Eliwood looks at him worried. "What is it, Hector? Do you know something?"

Lord Hector crosses his arms. "Nothing specific. Rumors abound, though. A league of assassins from Bern has been moving around in Lycia. Experienced bounty hunters and mercenaries are vanishing…"

Suddenly, Matthew was in front of me hugging me. I gasp in surprise. I hug him back.

"Hi!" I exclaim.

"Hi." He replies.

He lets go of me. "It's been a while." I comment.

Matthew smiles down at me. "It has."

Suddenly, I remember something. "Did you end up seeing her?" He looks at me confused. "Remember last year? You told me you had someone back where you came from."

His eyes widen. He laughs. "I'm surprised you remembered that."

"I've been told I have good memory." I say winking.

"Good girl." He says rubbing my head. "Yes, I did see her. She has a job now, though."

"At least you got to see her. That's good."

Suddenly, I hear Lord Eliwood say, "So, Mark. What do you think?"

Mark pauses and I look at him. "Something serious is going on around here. Pretty dangerous stuff, too."

"You might be right. Something may have happened to Lord Helman, too. Come! We must hurry to the castle!"

"Eliwood!" Lord Hector says quickly. "Who is this?"

"This is Mark. I required tactical aid in the search for my father, and…"

"Oh, I see. So this is who directed the battle plan back there, hm?" Lord Hector pauses. "You know, Mark, you're very young. We've many strategists in Ostia, but none so young. Eliwood, are you sure about this one?"

Mark stands there not changing his emotion. I glare at Lord Hector slightly. He shouldn't doubt my brother like that! He hasn't even seen him at work yet!

I was about to open my mouth but Lord Eliwood beat me to it. "Mark is still a student of military strategy, but… We've received nothing but sound advice so far. Mark has my trust." I smile at the lord. Good. He should have Lord Eliwood's trust.

"All right. I suppose I shall witness your skills firsthand. Well met, Mark." Lord Hector says more friendly.

He and my brother shake hands. The two lords then leave to some other direction to talk some more. I stand next to Mark feeling comfortable. It's intimidating standing near two lords like them. Even though I've met Lord Eliwood before it is still a little nerve wracking. Matthew smiles at my brother.

"How have you been, Mark?"

"Hello. You know, your secret is now revealed." Mark replies.

Matthew looks at him confused. "Eh? My secret's revealed?" His eyes then shine with realization. "Oh, that." He sighs. "Yes, it's true. My guise as a common thief was but a ruse. I've served House Ostia for some time as a spy of sorts! Surprised?" My brother stays silent. Matthew laughs. "Well, regardless, it looks like we'll be traveling together again. Here's to our mutual survival!" Mathew looks at me and smiles one last time before leaving.

"Eeeeeeee!" Serra squeals loudly. "Mark! Is it really you? It's been far, far too long! You missed me, didn't you? Of course you did. I knew it." Mark and I look at her confused and she notices. "Hm?" She then realizes why we are. "Didn't I tell you before? I'm in the employ of Ostia, Lycia's ruling territory. I'll be here to help you just like before! Aren't you lucky!" Serra then looks me up and down. "That is such a cute outfit! You took my advice from last year! Good for you, Luna!"

Before I could say anything she leaves. When she is around don't expect to be able to say anything. It's very rare that you can get your word in with her. Oh well, it will be nice to travel with at least a few familiar people. It's nice to meet new people, too. I'm also very happy to be with my brother once more. Hopefully, we will be together longer than last time.


What did you all think? I would really like to see some reviews and have some opinions. ^^ Criticism is welcome, too. If I don't get any, how am I supposed to know if I am approving or not? It's part of life. XD No flames, though. It's just rude and inappropriate. -_- Anyway, please press the button below this. Yes, that very one. The blue one. It doesn't bite and you don't have to pay any money. It is totally free! ;) Well, see you all next chapter (I hope next Saturday so I can keep up the routine).
