Shocking Assault
Long was gone the age of Mila and Duma as well as the Age of Shadows. Taking it's place was a thriving world known only as the continent of Valentia. Trade ships from around the world came to receive goods from the magnificent plains and forests of the land. Valentia had changed. For the better thankfully. Celica and Faye were used to these sights, however, so as they headed for the armory to retrieve Celica's rapier, they paid little to no mind to these wares. Entering the armory, a man clearly in his late 40s looked up. Stumble was strewn across his face and his brown eyes lit up at the sight of the two. "You came for the rapier, I assume," "Yes, Michelangelo," Celica responded with a smile. Michelangelo picked up a slim, wrapped blade, giving it to Celica.
The blade had a golden hilt with a blue gem in the center. The rapier itself was made of much older material than most swordsmen were used to. "Michelangelo," Celica gasped. "It's more beautiful than I even imagined." Michelangelo had the biggest smile on his face as he said "Only the best for an old friend's daughter." He waved as the two left mumbling "You'd be proud Caroline,"
Celica and Faye advanced through the city watching as the noblemen and noblewomen proceed with their day. "So," Faye began. "You really think you can beat him?" "I don't know," Celica admitted. "He's said to be one of the best swordsmen in the world, Let alone Elibe." "I heard he's Marquess Pharae's son," Faye absent mindedly said. "What?!" Celica asked, stopping in her tracks.
Almost as if on cue, an explosion rang through the air, throwing both girls to the ground. "What was that?!" Faye cried as Celica look bbehind her, eyes widening as she noticed several soldiers with a strange symbol on their shields. Celica dragged Faye behind a wall as the soldiers advanced. "What's going on?!" Celica murmured through gritted teeth. "I know that symbol," Faye responded. "That's right! They're soldiers from Bern!" "But why?" "I don't know, but if they're in the capital already, then things don't look got for Valentia." Celica grabbed Faye's wrist and swiftly snuck off to a deeper part of Zofia. despite this, the number in soldiers only increased. The duo peeked around a corner before Celica was pushed down. Hearing a body behind her, she looked back to see Faye on the ground. "F-Faye?" Celica asked, crawling towards her. Her eyes widened as she noticed the worst. Faye had been impaled by an arrow. "Faye! C'mon, Faye! Tell me this is another joke like before! Faye!" Faye's eyes opened as she looked at Celica. Her eyes shone with determination over her sadness. "I... guess you deserve to know... what happened... when we were kids..." "Faye," Celica said. Her mind wouldn't let her talk right. "Under... my matress... my father left... a note. It'll... explain everything about you... and me. Don't worry... about me... let the true royals... of Zofia... live on... Lady Celica." With these words, Faye eyes closed as she leaned in to hug Celica one last time as her body went limp. When the Zofian army looked through the area for survivors, the first one they would find was an innocent 17 year old girl holding her dead friend, eyes swollen from crying so much.
Yeah. I just killed off Faye. What? The description? It said two girls, not Celica and Faye. At least one person dies in Fire Emblem. To the Faye fans: Please don't hurt me.
