Yeah I know it's been awhile since a few days but let me explain what happened basically genius me thought it'd be a good idea to download a new game from the Eshop while I was waiting for the Cipher Companions DLC to come out and the game I downloaded was Legend of Dark Witch and I got preoccupied with because it was more fun then I thought but any way now that it's summer with no more school to deal with nothing's stopping from writing more chapters effectively except maybe Legend of Dark Witch and the sequel I bought but enough of that here's a new chapter. Another thing enemies disappear Path of Radiance style. I don't own Fire Emblem or SAO.
The group continued on their way to where the towns were that would take them to a different continent.
"So think those people were telling the truth?" Inaho brought up "Well we gotta take our chances, we need to get to a continent so we can start clearing this game" Ray started while they were on their way to figure out how to get to another continent a group of players came by and told them that at the end of the beginning continent they were on there was a town that would take them to another continent.
And so the group went off to where the players had told them to just keep going on the track they were on. But Inaho and Clarine had their suspicions "And besides we got Fae at our side so we got nothing to worry about" he continued on with the others looking at Fae who was running slightly ahead looking at the scenery around her while playing in the fields they were at.
"Yep, I'm totally filled with confidence" Hibari sarcastically said "Don't let that fool you she's a powerhouse you saw what she did during our first skirmish" Ray brought up "Right guys?" he asked around "While you do bring up some good points, we cannot deny the fact that she well…" Clarine trailed off looking at Fae who was still running around and accidentally tripped and got back up immediately and continued on "… acts and has the mind of a child" she finished up "Well you can't blame her she is a baby dragon girl" Ray admitted that Fae was a child "And she isn't afraid to hurt people who threaten her friends. Which is us" he finished up "I think that much we can agree on" Matthew spoke up with the group continuing onwards.
Hours had passed and Ray, Hibari and Inaho were glad that they were inside a video game and not in real life because the walking had began to get boring. Matthew was still how he was before because being a spy meant he had to stay alert at all times, meanwhile Clarine was on her horse trying her best to not drift off into sleep, while Fae was asleep and was being carried by Ray.
Fae constant running around and playing had tired her out and she began walking at the same speed with the others. Of course Ray saw she was tired with her constant yawning and her rubbing her eyes.
Ray then offered to carry her a offer which she accepted almost immediately. After awhile of carrying her Ray noticed that his arms were not getting sore or tired at all after carrying her for so long. They figured it must've been the fact that they were in a game. But what struck them as the most odd was the that they were able to get sleepy but not get exhausted.
But every one had let out a breath of relief when they saw the town the other players spoke of "Oh, thank goodness!" Hibari shouted after seeing the town in view and accidentally waking Fae up in the process "Huhh…" Fae said sleepily rubbing her eyes "Thanks a lot Hibari now she won't be able to fall asleep again" Ray said "Well sorry if I'm glad to be at a town" Hibari retorted crossing her arms "Come on guys don't start fighting let's go see if there's an inn open 'cause I'm tired" Inaho said stretching his arms.
The walking had taken them quite a bit. When they were at the town night had come but there were still NPC's and some players in the streets with a few having heroes at their sides.
"Matthew here can you take Fae" Ray asked giving Fae to the Thief who took her. Thankfully Fae fell back asleep after Hibari had woken her up "Why do you need me to take her?" Matthew asked "I'm gonna go and see if I can find an Armoury or a Vendor here" Ray answered but before her could take off Clarine stopped him even when she was still sleepy "Just wait… one moment it too dark and we should probably get some rest" the Troubadour managed to get out interrupting herself from her yawning.
"And besides we need to find an inn first and if you don't know where it is you'll probably be wondering the town for a bit" Matthew brought up "I… guess that's a good point, well let's get going" Ray said and the group headed off but Fae was handed back to Ray before going off.
"Ah, welcome!" an Anna greeted the group when they walked in. Their search was a bit long but they managed to find one thankfully, and right before night fell the sun was still out a bit though.
"Hey, Anna" Ray greeted "Hiya, what'll it be?" Anna asked "A room, maybe two for the night" Clarine requested "Gotcha. Let me go get the keys" Anna said walking to a room behind the counter. Anna returned a few minutes later with two keys in hand "Here you are. Don't forget to pay me when your stay is finished up" Anna said with Clarine taking a key and Matthew taking the other one "Alright let's go to are rooms" the thief said going to the second floor with the rest following.
"Okay let's see here… ah here we are" Matthew said finding the room "Well isn't this convenient" Clarine said after noticing their rooms were next to each other "Definitely, saves time" Inaho spoke out "So is this gonna be like, girls in one guys in the others" Hibari brought up "That seems alright. I'm gonna go and check to see if there's an armoury around here so see ya guys" Ray said about to run off "Are you serious its night you could run into some bad people" Clarine brought up "Oh. Good point" the swordsman said turning to Inaho "Inaho if I don't come back within ten minutes you and Matthew come looking for me" he said to his friend.
"Really?…" "Alright sounds good to me" Matthew spoke up making Hibari look at him "Alright see ya, here make sure she doesn't wake up again" Ray said handing Fae who was still sleeping over to Clarine "You better come back" Hibari said in warning tone "Don't worry I'll stay safe" Ray assured going down the hallway "Are you all sure we let him do this?" Clarine asked "I'm sure he'll keep his word me and Matthew will stay awake then go looking for him if he doesn't come back" Inaho assured with him and Matthew going into their room and the girls doing the same.
"This place has to have an armoury" Ray said to himself still looking for an armoury if the town had one.
However there was something that caught his attention, more specifically a scream of a girl "GET AWAY FROM ME!" she shouted, Ray ran to where he heard the scream and saw the same girl he met day one of FEO being chased by some brigand NPCs who were wielding Axes.
"Come on we just wanna take to your friend is all" one of the brigands said "Yeah like real gentleman" another said "NO!" the girl shouted and accidentally ran into Ray and thankfully it didn't take of any of his health.
The girl had relief over her face when she saw Ray "Please help me!" she shouted then looked back and hid behind Ray in fear. The swordsman turned to the brigands with his Bronze Sword out "Hey, if you know what's good for ya stay outta this" one of the brigands said bringing up his Axe "Yeah…not happening, but I got an offer for you" Ray brought up "Oh… and what's that?" one of the brigands said "Leave her alone and leave with your lives because I don't know if you noticed your at a disadvantage with your axes against a sword using person" Ray warned.
However the brigands showed no signs of retreating "Pffft… you think we're scared because of your little sword. You take care of him" one of the brigands said point at another who pulled at his axe and started running to Ray.
"Get back" Ray said to the girl and nervously took a stance like Myrmidon's took in Awakening. The brigand held his axe back and Ray saw it coming and easily dodged it and counter attacked "Is that all you got!" Ray shouted swinging at the brigand and second time with the hit landing.
The brigand growled in anger swinging his axe again and missing due to Ray having the weapon advantage, the swordsmen landed another strike with the brigands HP dropping to zero and his body vanishing and Ray gaining Exp but not enough to level him up.
Ray turned away and saw that the other brigands were gone "…Cowards" Ray said then turned to the girl "Are you- whoa!" "THANK YOU SO MUCH!" the girls said hugging him "Y-Yeah, your welcome. What the heck happened?" Ray asked "Me and Gwen were just minding our own business when those creeps attacked us wanting all our gold and weapons. We said no then they attacked us, Gwen stayed behind to make sure I escaped but I think they captured her then they tried to come back with me then I bumped into you" the girl explained and Ray was surprised he got all of it.
"Wow… that's some story. Well your safe now you should probably go to an inn then go somewhere else after this I'm gonna go find the armoury around here" Ray said about to walk off when the girl grabbed his arm "W-Wait! I can't leave Gwen behind, please help me save her!" the girl pleaded "I don't even know where their base is-" "I do!" the girl shouted interrupting him "Well good for you. Look I get that you and Gwendolyn probably became fast friends but it's just not worth… the…" Ray trailed off after seeing the girl was on the verge of tears again giving a puppy dog look.
Ray sighed heavily "That won't work you know" he informed her "Please…" she pleaded again "I don't even know your name why would I-" "It's Cassia, now will you help me!" Cassia pleaded again "Look-" "There he is!" Ray heard Matthew's voice call out turned and saw him and Inaho running to him and Cassia.
"There you are. We found the armoury and you-" "I knew there was an armoury!" Ray shouted "Right… anyway you weren't there so we began looking elsewhere" Matthew explained then turned to Cassia "Who's this?" the thief asked "I'm Cassia are his friends?" the recurit asked "Yeah we are, what's the matter?" Inaho asked "I'm trying to rescue Gwen but he won't help me" Cassia explained giving a look at Ray "Who's Gwen?" Inaho asked "Here names Gwendolyn she's the hero she summoned" Ray informed.
"So mind telling us what happened?" Matthew asked and Cassia was about to explain when Ray beat her to it "She and Gwendolyn were attacked by brigands and Gwendolyn was captured now she wants me to go with her on a rescue mission" the swordsmen explained and Cassia looked none to pleased by his interruption "Well shouldn't we go and rescue her?" the outlaw said "Inaho, I'm not rescuing one of the worst units in Fire Emblem history" Ray stated crossing his arms.
"Come on look at her" Matthew said gesturing to Cassia who had an expression of sadness "If it weren't Gwendolyn maybe I would go but I'm still not convinced" the swordsmen said "Come on, Ray what if it was Fae or Hibari" Inaho brought up "That's different" the swordsmen said "How so?" Matthew asked "Well for starters, Fae is actually a good unit and so is Hibari, and Gwendolyn is down right terrible so no competition" Ray countered "Well I don't care if Gwen is the worst unit in Fire Emblem history I'm going to rescue her she's my friend there's no way I'm leaving her behind" Cassia said with her voice full of determination.
"Come on. Please…" Cassia said going back to pleading making Ray sigh "Well… it'll be good experience I might be able to promote. Fine I guess we'll come along with you and recuse Gwendolyn" Ray said with Cassia's face full of joy "You mean it!" she squealed "Yeah, so let's get a move on you know where this place is?" Matthew asked her and she nodded "Yep, follow me" the recruit said taking the lead with the others following in suit.
Well heck it's been long sorry again for the wait I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter. Another thing is the girl that he met in chapter 1 was originally going to be a one off character but then I got this idea so in the next chapter they'll be doing the rescue mission she has the name of one of my bond units but she isn't one. So as always any and all feedback is greatly appreciated, so until next chapter See ya.
