Hi, everyone! It's Saturday! Whoo! I was becoming very impatient for this day, actually. ^_^' Anyway, just like I promised, here is the new chapter. I hope you all enjoy it! ^_^ As I work on these chapters and keep getting reviews I will try to make things better. I hope to not rely too much on the original dialogue of the game but it really does help me focus on the main points of the chapter. I will try to I keep a balance of my dialogue and the game's. So... without further ado let's start the chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Fire Emblem or the characters. The only thing I own is my OC.

Chapter 2:

While we traveled, I got the chance to know everyone. The thief's name is Matthew. I still don't trust him that much. The girl with pink hair is Serra and she is a very chatty person. The mage that is escorting her is named Erk. He is very quiet. It is very funny how the two of them are complete opposites of each other. The way they talk to one another makes me laugh.

The axe wielder's name is Dorcas. He told me how he was raising money for his wife, Natalie. Apparently she has a bad leg and it needs to be mended. I think that is very sweet of him. This Natalie person is one lucky girl to have a guy like him as a husband.

The girl with purple hair is named Florina. She is very shy around boys and she told me about her fears of archers. That brings me to the guy with brown hair. His name is Wil. He seems like an easy going type of guy.

Finally, the two cavaliers. The one with red armor is named Kent and the one in green armor is Sain. I have noticed that Sain is quite the flirt with the girls. As long as he doesn't bother me too much, I will live. Even though Sain can be quite the idiot and Kent is a very serious person, they still seem to be good friends. I will never understand it, though.

With the spare time we had I was able to catch up with Mark. He told me how he and Lyn met and how he decided to help her. I then told him how mom and dad were along with how I left home. I explained to him that two months ago I decided to be an archer so I trained. I went to the palace for work and I was able to join. Rath became my captain. He helped me train and I followed whatever orders he gave me. I do love being with my brother again.

After a few days we stopped at a place. Lyn walks over to Kent asking him where we are. According to him, we are in Khathelet. Sain then says that we are about ten days' ride away from Castle Caelin. That is, if we don't run into any problems. Suddenly, a little boy with pale blue hair exits out of a building. He walks over to Lyn.

"Pardon me." The boy looks like he is going to say more but he stops.

"Yes? Can I help you?" Lyn asks patiently.

The boy continues. "You and your friends… are you mercenaries?"

I notice Lyn looking the boy up and down. "And if we are?"

He steps closer. "I need your help!" he exclaims.

Kent stands next to Lyn. "Milady Lyndis, you mustn't let your guard down. Not even for a child."

"I know." She says to him. She then looks at the boy again. "Forgive me, but we're in a hurry. Is there someone else you can ask?" I look at her surprised. No! I want to help him!

He takes another step closer. "There's no time!" He looks at her sadly. "It's my sister! Some men have taken her away!"

"Your sister?" Sain asks standing next to the kid. "Did you say your sister's been kidnapped?" I look at him disapprovingly. Oh, great. Here he goes. He is probably only interested because it's a girl.

"Sain…" Kent says. I think he is thinking the same thing as I am.

"That's right! By some cruel, awful men. I don't know what I'll do without Ninian." Ninian? That name sounds really pretty.

"Milady Lyndis! We must help him!" Sain exclaims determined. I don't like saying this, but I do agree with him. Not for the same reasons as him, though.

"Nonsense! We haven't the time! If the marquess is as ill as we've heard, we must proceed!" Kent exclaims. I understand his worries but come on! This is a kid that's asking for help!

"Kent, I… I want to help this child." Lyn says. I silently cheer in my head.

"Milady?"

"I'm worried about my grandfather, of course. But this! I cannot stand by and let a child be taken from her home!"

"I see…" Kent looks kind of frustrated and at a loss.

"I'm sorry, Kent."

He sighs. He then stands up straight looking really strong and kind of intimidating. "I am your loyal retainer. You owe me no apologies. You must do as your heart dictates, milady. I will follow you, no matter where that may lead." I smile. I think he is a good guy. He just needs to relax a little bit.

Lyn smiles. "Thank you."

"Hah! Such a noble speech!" Sain interrupts. "Ever the true knight, that one! Ah, well. You're in luck, kid! Let's go get your sister!"

"Will you lead us to the men who've done this?" Lyn asks.

"Uh huh. They're really though, so be careful." The boy warns us.

"Leave them to us. We're pretty tough ourselves. Right, Mark?" she says looking at my brother smiling. He nods. I smile at him and he smirks at me.

Suddenly, a bad looking man approaches us. The boy looks at him surprised. "Ah! Oh, no."

The man laughs. "Found him! C'mon, Nils. It's back to Nergal with you. Quiet now."

"No! Let Ninian go!"

"We ain't supposed to kill you, but we sure can rough you up!" The man charges at him. I was about to grab the kid when Lyn blocks the blow for him. "Huh?" he asks confused. "Who do you think you are?"

"Lyn!" the boy exclaims.

"Let the boy's sister go." She says glaring at him.

"Ah… So you want to help the kid, huh?" The man sighs. "What a shame. You're gonna die for something that don't concern you."

"You think so, do you? Do we look so meek to you? I think you're in for a terrible shock!" Go Lyn!

"Stupid girl. You'll regret those words. Take 'em down, boys!" the man exclaims to the rest of the bad people that are now spreading out.

We hastily prepare. Mark is talking to Lyn when a person with long blond hair wearing a white and blue robe steps out of the same place as where the little boy came from.

"Who are you?" Lyn asks surprised.

"Please forgive me. I never meant to startle you." The person says. I can't tell if it's a male or female!

"Your robes..." Lyn says, "Are you an Elimine bishop?" That answers my question. He is very good looking! It's kind of unfair…

"Yes." He pauses. "Well, no. I'm only an acolyte, an Elimine monk, to be specific. My name's Lucius."

"Do you have business with us?" Lyn asks.

"I was at the inn when this child came seeking help. The innkeeper was afraid to get involved. He was…. Unpleasant." He says sadly.

"I wasn't afraid of him!" Nils says sounding brave. "I'm used to being treated that way." He was so calm when he said that it made me sad. Poor kid.

"That's awful." Lyn says.

"May I please lend you my services? I truly wish to help the boy. If only a little."

She smiles. "Of course."

"Thank you very much. May the blessings of St. Elimine be upon you." He says.

I look around noticing that there are quite a few shamans. If Lucius is a monk, that means he is a user of light magic. That is really strong against dark magic. Cool! That means he will be a huge help to us!

Lucius attacked a nearby shaman nearly finished him off. But then he suddenly looked tired.

"Lyn! Let me help!" Nils says eagerly.

"Nils! It's too dangerous." Lyn says.

"But I can help!" he insists.

"Can you use a weapon?" Lyn asks curiously.

"No, but, I am a bard. Bards are very useful. Just watch."

Nils then goes up to Lucius and plays a song from his flute. A light glows around Lucius and he looks like he has energy in him again. Completely refreshed and looked ready to fight. I look at Nils with wide eyes and Lyn looks at him amazed.

"Wow!" Lyn says in amazement. "Next time you should play me some music. I could use the boost."

The battle continues. With the help of Dorcas, I am able to defeat an enemy archer. Then Erk comes in and attacks a swordsman. I can't help but flinch every time I see him using fire magic on other people. I'm so glad he is on my side! Florina was about to fly by when I stop her.

"Florina! Can you lift me to the village over there?" I ask her pointing to the village nearby.

"Y-Yes, sure." Florina says. I climb onto the pegasus and sit behind her. "Hold on." I grab her shoulders.

She then flies me in the air and drops by the entrance. A swordsman nearby sees us and charges at us.

"Can you take care of him?" I ask her quickly. "I'm going to talk to the townspeople."

"Ok." She says nodding. She then gets her lance ready for the guy approaching.

I enter the town when I spot a man. He sees me and walks up to me.

"What do you know about magic?" he asks. I was about to open my mouth to say something when he continues talking. "You know bright magic is strong against dark, right?" I nod. "Well, magic is a difficult thing to dodge. It's not like dodging an axe or sword."

"Who are strong against magic?" I ask.

"Well, magic wielders, of course." He says. "Oh! And pegasus riders."

I nod. "Thank you. That's good to know."

"Wait!" he exclaims. "Before you go, you should take this." He hands me a blue vile filled with something. "It's a special kind of water. 'Pure Water' it's called. Use this on someone and they will have a strong defense against magic users. It's strongest when you first use it."

I smile at him and bow. "Thank you, kind sir. I'm sure this will come in handy." I stand up straight. "You should probably lock up and warn the others. We are fighting against a group of bad guys."

He nods. "Thank you for the warning. Make sure you beat them good!"

I laugh. "We definitely will, sir."

I exit the town. I place the vile in my pouch that is attached to a belt around my hips. I look around. There is hardly anyone left. I'm pretty far behind and I watch as everyone else was finishing off the remaining enemies. I run up to catch up. This is becoming a very quick battle. We are a pretty strong group, afterall.

Once I caught up the only enemy left was the boss himself. The one that nearly attacked Nils earlier. I was then close enough to him to attack. Before I do, I make sure to drink the pure water. I fire my arrow and it makes contact with his shoulder. He flinches grabbing his shoulder. He looks really weak already. Magic people really don't have that great of a defense. He attacks me. Even though it hits me, it didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would. The water really does help!

Wil then steps up and spins his arrow before firing it at the shaman. When it hits the guy's chest, he screams in agony. He falls to his knees. He then mutters about the girl but I couldn't quite catch what he was saying. Everyone runs into the building so I follow behind.

Lyn looks at Nils. "Do you see your sister anywhere?"

"Ninian!" Nils calls out. "Ninian." He then looks around disappointed. "She's not here. Why? Where could she be?"

"My lady Lyndis! A villager spotted a group of men riding south." Kent informs Lyn.

"The boy's dear sister. They must have her!" Sain says angrily.

"Come! We must give chase!" Lyn exclaims.

"But… but… We won't make it! What if they've already…." Nils looks at the ground sad.

"Are you looking for this girl here?" a mysterious person's voice says.

A man with red hair and blue clothes steps out carrying a girl with long hair the same color as Nils wearing a long blue dress.

"Ninian!" Nils exclaims running to the man and the girl he is holding. "Ninian!"

"She'll be fine." He assures the little boy. "She's just lost consciousness."

"Who are you?" Lyn asks.

"I'm Eliwood, of Pherae. My father is the marquess." I look at him surprised. Wow. A nobleman.

"The marquess's son…" Lyn says a bit surprised.

"She was with a band of ruffians. She seemed upset. She looked in need of rescuing. Was I wrong to involve myself?" the man asks.

"No, you saved her life. Thank you. My name is Lyn. I'm from Sacae. I'm Marquess Caelin's granddaughter."

"Marquess Caelin?"

"Follow me. I will explain." She says.

"Here, I will take the girl." Kent says with his arms out.

The man hands the girl to him and then he and Lyn walk to another part of the building. As they talked Kent placed the girl on the ground and Nils stayed by her side. She is a very pretty girl. I hope she is ok and will wake up soon. I see Rath and walk up to him.

"Kind of crazy, huh?" I ask him.

He looks at me. "I suppose, yes." He steps off his horse and gently pets it.

"May I brush it?" I ask.

He looks at me. He then digs into a bag grabbing out a brush. He hands it to me. "Go ahead."

I take the brush smiling. "Thanks!" I then start brushing the horse.

I found myself talking to it when Rath left and the others were talking among themselves. It was kind of nice. Its mane was really knotted so I fixed it the best I could. Then I brushed around the saddle. I better not take it off. I don't know when we might leave and Rath might not want me to do that. When I ran out of things to talk about I hummed a tune.

"Ninian! Are you awake?" I hear Nils say. I put the brush away and walk over to him and his sister. She is now sitting up and blinking confusedly.

"Nils? Is it really you?" Ninian asks. She then looks at him happy. "Oh, you're safe!"

"Uh-huh. These people helped me." He said. Just then Lyn walked up next to Nils.

"Who are they?" she asks curiously.

"Uh…" he says looking at Lyn.

"I'm Lyn. I'm glad you're feeling better." She says smiling.

"Milady Lyn. Thank you. I'm called Ninian. My brother, Nils, and I are traveling performers."

"Both of you? Your brother's a musician. How about you, Ninian?"

"I… I dance." She says hesitantly.

"What? Oh my… you're a dancer!" Sain exclaims putting his hands together. Ugh. Not him.

"Sain," I say to him, "now is not the best time."

"Um, yeah. Of course." He says calmed down. He then quietly leaves a bit dejected.

"A dancer? Your clothes don't look like those of a dancer." Lyn asks.

"Ninian dances to honor life. It's special… Sacred." Nils explains.

"A sacred dance? What does that mean?"

"I…" Ninian thinks for a minute. "The dance I perform when we travel is just a normal dance. My other dance, though…" She stops. "When they caught me, I twisted my ankle. I cannot dance to aid you. I'm sorry."

"Please don't worry. We're just happy to see that you're out of harm's way."

"Thank you." Ninian says slightly smiling.

Lyn looks at her worriedly. "But I am concerned about your leg. You can't travel on it."

"I've an idea." Nils says smiling. "Would it be too much to ask that we travel with you?"

"I can't allow that!" Lyn exclaims. "It's far too dangerous. We're being hunted. We never know when we're going to be attacked."

"We wouldn't be a hindrance. We could even help you. Right, Ninian?" He looks at his sister for support.

"Yes." Ninian says agreeing. "We might be able to repay our debt using our… special talents."

"Special abilities?" Lyn curiously asks.

"When something poses a threat to us, we can sense its approach." My eyes grow wide.

Lyn looks shocked, too. "Truly?" She smiles widely. "That's amazing!"

"We can feel it coming, but we can't do anything to stop it. You're warriors, though, so you don't have that worry." Nils explains.

Lyn looks at Kent. "What do you think, Kent?"

"I think leaving them here would cause Lady Lyndis more worry than having them travel with us." I smile. Good choice of words, Kent. Even though I'm sure you want to say other things.

She looks at Sain. "Sain?" She stops herself. "Oh, never mind. I know what your answer is." Sain beams happily. Lyn looks back at the two siblings. "Do you really want to travel with us?"

"Of course!" Nils says smiling.

"You have our gratitude, milady." Ninian says. She then looks at her hand sad. "Oh…"

"What's wrong, Ninian?" he asks worriedly.

"I've lost my ring."

"Your ring?" Lyn asks.

"Not Ninis's Grace?" Nils says truly worried.

Ninian looks at her brother. "The very one." she says sadly.

"They stole it? Those curs!" he says angrily.

"Was it valuable?" Lyn asks.

"It was a keepsake from our departed mother." Ninian exclaims.

"It was blessed by the spirit of Ninis. There's no other like it in the world." Nils says. Then he looks at his sister sadly. "And now we have lost it to those villains. There's nothing we can do."

"You're right."

"Can I talk to you, Mark?" Lyn suddenly says looking at my brother. Mark grabs my wrist and makes me follow him. The three of us were then in a quiet area. "You heard all of that, right? What do you think? I'd really love to retrieve Ninian's ring for her. But if Nils is right, those thieves might prove to be too strong for us. What should we do?" she asks.

Mark and I look at each other. I can tell he wants to help and I really want to, too. I nod at him. He nods back and looks at Lyn. "I want to help them out."

"You want to help them?" Lyn asks as if to make sure. "That's great! I was hoping you'd say that, Mark." Lyn walks over to where the two cavaliers are. "Kent! Sain! Those men were headed south. We must give pursuit!"

"On your word, milady!" Sain exclaims.

"There's no turning back now. Let's ride!"

The group leaves and I follow walking close to my brother. He looks at me and I smile at him. "I think you made the right choice."

He looks ahead very serious. "Yeah. Let's just hope that the enemy is not too much for us to handle."

"We are a really strong group. I believe we can handle anything thrown our way." I say encouragingly.

He smirks at me. "I know. I do, too."

That began our travel in the retrieval of the stolen ring. It's very special to the kids so I really want to get it. I can't believe those guys stole it from Ninian. They truly have no hearts what so ever. We will go there, kick some butt, grab the ring, and move on with our journey to Castle Caelin.

So... what do you all think? Please review and let me know your thoughts. Oh, and let me say one thing. This month is Autism Awarness Month! Why do I care? Well, my brother has autism. Not only that but this month isn't really mentioned. It makes me sad that not enough people take notice to this. My mom just happened to watch 'The Talk' yesterday and one of the ladies was talking about it! She had dad's come up and talk about their point of view with their child with Autism. I think they should do something where they talk about the brother's/sister's point of view... ^_^ Anway, before I end up taking too much of your time, let's go ahead and let me thank the following people for reviewing my first chapter!
