Disclaimer: I don't own Suikoden

Author's note: Ok as you noticed I introduced a character, Blaine. So you may have noticed he had nothing to do with Suikoden 5 at all. I only say this because I will add more random characters like that. So once again trust me I do have this story planned out.


Frey began to stir in his sleep. He enjoyed lying there with his eyes closed listening to all that was happening around him. Frey enjoyed it even more on the ship since he loved to hear the captain shouting out commands. He listened to his surrounding for a little bit. The water hitting the bow of the ship was very calming and it almost put him back to sleep. Frey didn't know why but he was extremely happy and felt well rested.

Then it hit him. This was the first time since the tragic day that he slept peaceful with no nightmares. Amazed at how much a good night sleep does he slowly sat up and looked out his window. He saw some seagulls fly passed screeching at each other.

Frey then felt something against his chest. He looked down to see Lyon's sword still tied around his waist. He forgot to take it off yesterday and ended up sleeping with it.

"I probably should get use to doing that," he said to himself, "having a sword at hand all the time is a good idea."

That and the fact that I seemed to sleep much better with it, he added in his thoughts.

Frey leapt out of bed and began to change. He took out a plain white sleeveless shirt, and some pants that had patches of hard leather on them. He wore these whenever he felt like training. Since he got such a good sleep, and he had so much energy and nowhere to go, he felt like training.

Frey looked over at the corner of the room where he kept his weapons. There lay his tri-nunchaku, and wooden training sword. He grabbed his tri-nunchaku and a wooden sword. Frey then in a hurried pace went out his door.

Frey was fairly excited, for he loved to train. He loved to fight, the only reason he didn't like battle is because he hated death and pain. Which is why he loved training because there was no death, pain maybe, but no death.

Frey stopped next to Miakis' room and put an ear next to it. He heard nothing, and hoping she wasn't still in a sad mood he decided to knock.

"Miakis," Frey called, "You there."

No answer.

"Well if you want to train with me I'm going to go up and challenge some sailors." He waited a little to hear a response. When he didn't hear one he continued. "I'm sure they wont be much of a fight, so if you want to come challenge me I'll be on waiting."

Once again he waited to see if there would be a response. Frey turned to walk away when he remembered that she would have the other wooden sword that he need. He slowly opened the door and walked in. Frey looked around in the darkened room and saw the sword leaning up against the wall right near her bed. He then glanced to see a shadowy figure laying on it.

Frey concluded that Miakis must be asleep, and he began to tip toe over to it, stopping every few seconds to make sure he didn't stir Miakis. He continued sneaking to the sword. When he came to be only a few feet from in he stopped and glanced at the bed.

Miakis was lying there with the sheets covering her from the waist down. She was on her side and Frey thought she had the cutest look on her face, it seemed calm and happy. She was laying her head on her arm and the other arm was out in front of her, bending so her hand rested underneath her chin.

Frey stood stilled and watched her sleep for a little while. He enjoyed how Miakis seemed to take slow long breaths when she was asleep. Sad to pull himself away he knew he had to grab the sword and leave. If anyone saw him they would instantly get the wrong idea.

Frey grabbed the sword and began slowly walking towards the door. He reached it slowly opened it hoping it wouldn't make a sound. When it was fully open he took a quick look back to see Miakis in the light. She rolled over and he turned to leave.

"Frey make sure you close the door," Miakis said half asleep, causing Frey to jump.

"Sorry," was all Frey said before leaving.

Felling somewhat bad for waking Miakis, but then realizing that she should be up any way, he quickly ran up the stairs to begin training. He looked for someone not doing anything to challenge to a quick duel. He saw a couple of sailors sitting on some boxes. Two of the sailors were listening and looking at another.

Perfect, he thought.

Frey ran over to the three men, and one of them seemed to be the leader of the group. Frey only thought this since he was telling a story as if some big hero. Frey laughed to himself a little.

"Hey you," he pointed to the big one, telling the story, "How bout a little duel."

The three sailors looked shocked. The royal prince Freyjadour challenging one of them to a duel. The two smaller sailors shook their heads.

"We wouldn't dream of fighting you sir."

Frey smiled, "not you two, the big one. Unless he's scared."

The big sailor laughed, "You know prince if I agree I can't promise not to hurt ya."

"All the better besides," he stopped for a second to make sure his last words really set in. "I don't think you'll hit me once."

This time the sailor's smile faded and he now seemed angry. Frey decided to use this to his advantage.

"If you're still having second thought," he paused and put a finger to his lips, jokingly pretending to think. "How bout I only use one hand."

"That's a mistake prince," the sailor rose, "I'm going to have to teach you a lesson about being hubris."

"Oh big word there, hubris," Frey said, "come up with that all by yourself."

"Give me that sword," the sailor said now sounding enraged.

Frey tossed him the sword and grabbed hold of his own. He threw the tri-nunchaku over to one of the sailors sitting down.

"Hold that for me."

"Go get him Harvey," said the sailor holding Frey's tri-nunchaku.

"Harvey is it," said Frey, "Well thank you for letting me warm up against you."

"That's it prince, I'm not holding back."

"Well I certainly hope not," said Frey still taunting Harvey, "I want to at least break a sweat."

They stood about ten feet apart. Frey with a big smile on his face and Harvey looking like he actually wanted to kill Frey. A crowd also began to gather, and of course, people started placing bets.

"I have 100 potch on the prince!"

"I have 500 on Harvey, he never loses."

"200 for Freyjadour, he must be tough if he chose this duel."

The captain swung the door open from the room that he was currently in, mapping their course.

"What's all the ruckus about," he shouted out.

"Oh captain, prince Freyjadour just challenged Harvey to a duel."

"Is the boy mad?"

"Maybe, but were taking bets," he paused for a moment to see how their captain would react. When he saw that the captain did not look angry he couldn't help but ask. "Would you like to place one?"

"Yes I would," he shouted, "3000 potch on Harvey!"

The crow began cheering, which only caused Harvey to smile. He figured the prince was just another royal bureaucrat. A wise commander, but also weak and he figured Frey just sat behind a desk all war.

"You know prince," Harvey hissed through his teeth, "You might seriously end up hurt in this fight. Even this little wooden sword can still do damage."

"Shall we begin then," responded Frey.

The captain walked out to stand and referee the fight.

"All right let's discuss the rules," he paused and looked at both fighters, "You go until the other is knocked out or gives up. You can only use the weapons at hand, no pulling out other weapons. Also no using objects around you. I think that's about it and just listen to me, I have the final word no arguing. We don't want anyone dead."

"Anyone," someone shouted from the crowd, "don't you mean the prince captain."

The sailors once again began to roar with laughter. They all found this a joke and just another thing to pass the time on their voyage.

The captain held up both his hands and then waved them down shouting, "Begin!"

Neither fighter moved, they watched each other intently, waiting for someone to make a move. Frey began hoping back and forth from his front to his back foot. Bouncing around he put one arm behind his back and held out his sword, in a type of fencing style.

Harvey smiled and put two hands on his sword holding it vertically, "That fancy stuff wont help you here prince."

Frey just smiled back, what Harvey didn't know was that Richard taught Frey this stance. Unlike his opponent who Frey could already see many faults to his stance. His was ready for anything and his stance was more for quick strikes and dodging then one swing to end it all.

Harvey after watching Frey for a moment decided he should be the first to attack. He launched himself at Frey who easily bounced to the right to dodge the hard swing.

"Hey keep swing like that at you'll pull something old man," jeered Frey.

"Hey, I'm not old and just watch, I'm going to kick your ass."

Frey just smiled and back stepped to get a greater distance between them. He continued his bouncing pattern, just hoping that Harvey would charge again. Harvey sprinted at Frey swinging as hard as he could hoping to end it in one hit. Frey simply sidestepped and then gave him a light tap on his head before backing away again.

"Oh, you almost had me that time," Frey said, "Keep trying I'm sure you'll get me eventually."

Harvey once gain ran full speed at Frey, this time however, just before reaching Frey he stopped only a yard a way. Frey not expecting this sudden stop already side stepped. He was expecting him to follow through all the way like his past two attacks.

Harvey quickly turned to face Frey and gave a horizontal sweep. Frey managed to dodge the attack by collapsing on the floor. Frey quickly rolled to the side to avoid Harvey's foot coming down. He stood up only to find Harvey once again charging at him. This time Harvey swung vertically and Frey putting his hands on the opposite ends of his sword held it sideways to block the blow.

Harvey's sword stuck Frey's hard and caused Frey to fall onto one knee. He couldn't compete with Harvey's strength and if he continued like this he would surly lose. Frey getting an idea began to hold some of his strength back. Harvey thinking Frey was getting tired pushed even harder. Frey then quickly leaned back. Harvey pushing so hard lost his balance and began to topple forward. Frey also falling back put his feet into Harvey's gut and rolled on his back. Kicking Harvey over him, sending him into the crowd of sailors.

They screamed and scattered apart so the huge man wouldn't fall on them. Growling, Harvey stood back up and walked back to the center of the circle to see the prince. Who was throwing his sword into the air causing it to do a series of flips and then skillfully catching it.

"Well Harvey I can't lie to you, I grow bored," Frey taunted once again

Harvey enraged flew himself at Frey. He jabbed the sword out as if it would impale Frey.

Is he mad the sword is wooden, thought Frey; Even if it hits me it wouldn't do anything.

Frey figured he should dodge it anyway and crouched low to the ground. Harvey's thrust went right over him and then Frey swung right at his face. You could hear the crack on the entire deck, Harvey's jaw breaking.

Harvey instantly dropping the sword and holding his jaw, he gave Frey a look of death. Even though wasn't the greatest fighter he could take pain. He let go of his jaw and charged at Frey. This time not ready at all, he couldn't get out of the way. Harvey picked him up and punched him in the face before through him into the side railing of the ship.

Frey rolled over onto his back and looked at the man coming towards him. He reached down and picked Frey up by his neck. He wound up, and Frey braced himself for another hit.

"You don't wanna do that."

The entire deck turned to look at the stairs leading below. There was Miakis walking over to the crowd of men.

"You see, if you harm the prince, no matter who you are," she paused and continued walking, pushing through the crowds walking right up to Harvey. "I will have to kill you," and with these last words she drew her daggers.

Harvey looked at the Queen's Knight.

He grunted, "I apologize for getting carried away, but you might want to make sure you teach this man some manners."

He dropped Frey, and began walking towards the sick bay holding his jar. Frey started coughing and holding his neck. He looked up at Miakis to see her looking down with a disappointed face.

"All right," Miakis said turning to face the crew, "it's all over, go back about your business."

There were some mumbles heard from the crowd but they dispersed and went back to what they were doing before. Frey stood up looking around to see the men who, were suppose to be working still watching him.

"Thank you Miakis," Frey said.

She spun around and slapped him hard in the face. Once again this caused all action on the dock to cease and they all just stared at the two teenagers.

"You idiot," she screamed, "you went and picked a fight with a person. Then when it is just a friendly duel you break his jaw."

"Well I didn't-"

"No, there is no excuse," she turned her back to Frey, "you showed a lot of disrespect here today, and you could've been seriously injured."

Frey leaned back on the railing, and looked at the cross Miakis. She managed to once again send the sailors on the way by meeting their gaze.

"I think your right Miakis," Frey began, "I'm going to go apologize to Harvey."

Miakis turned around and shook her head, "You don't have to do that now, and I want to talk to you about something."

"Really, well maybe I shouldn't listen since you just slapped me, "he said jokingly.

Miakis gave him a look that told him that it wasn't a time to joke.

"I'm sorry Miakis, please what is it."

She opened her mouth only to hear words that weren't hers.

"What, the prince got in a fight, well where is he."

They both turned around to see Luserina talking to one of the sailors. He pointed to the two of them and Frey gave a nice wave to the worried Luserina.

She ran over and looked at Frey's face and saw a trickle of blood running down from his mouth. She gasped. Frey noticed where her eye's laid, and he quickly wiped the blood from his mouth and smiled.

"Prince are you all right, I just heard," Luserina asked?

"Yeah, yeah it nothing big," he said, "don't worry about it."

"We should take you to the sick bay," suggested Luserina.

"No, it really isn't that bad," Frey said shaking his head and hands.

Miakis turned back around to lean on the railing; she looked out and watched a man carrying a bag on his back.

That's strange, who is out in the middle of nowhere, she thought, unless.

She quickly turned back to see Luserina still persisting in Frey going to the sick bay, and Frey rubbing the back of his head somewhat embarrassed at how she mad it seem like he was really hurt. All the other sailors were staring at him, as if his injuries were worse then Harvey's.

"Please Luserina, for the last time--"

"Luserina, are we near Rainwall," Miakis said, cutting off Frey.

"Well yes I think we are going to reach it soon."

"Hmm, already," Frey said and then paused to think, "How 'bout he all have some breakfast together before we reach Rainwall."

Luserina clapped her hands together, "that's a great idea prince."

"Well I just figured we need to at least to something before you leave."

"Well what do you want to eat your highness," Luserina asked?

"Well to be completely honest, I think the only thing we can have here is fish," Frey said.

"I'm sure there is more then that prince," said Luserina, "come on let's look."

She grabbed his arm and began pulling him away.

Frey looked back at Miakis, "You coming?"

She waved a hand, "Naa, not really a breakfast person."

"You sure."

"Yeah, trust me I'm fine."

"But-"

"Oh trust her, prince, she'll be fine," said Luserina still pulling him away, "Let's go find some food."

Miakis watched as the two went below deck going to find some food.

"Well, I really should give them some time alone, they are good friends and there not going to see each other for a while," Miakis said to herself.


"Quickly the ship carrying Luserina will arrive shortly!"

The soldiers of Rainwall were running about in a last effort to try and straighten out the corrupted town. Euram standing in front of the statue of his father watched as his soldiers picked up bums. They seemed to gather in the town since they were taking over by Godwin and especially since his father died.

An assistant of the family ran up to Euram.

"Euram, please we need to ask for help," he pleaded.

Euram turned to him, "Who are we going to ask, and more importantly who would actually help us."

He turned back to watching his little army gather the bums and begin to drive them out of the town. He hoped he would be able to make the town a little better by the time his sister returned. He had been at it ever since he received the letter that Luserina was going to be in charge.

"Sir, we could ask the prince, I'm sure—"

"No!" screamed Euram, "anyone but him!"

"But sir, not only has the homeless population increased but also the crime rate. There are reports of break-ins almost every day. This is now one of the worst towns in Falena. Only the scoundrels and low lives come here."

"Don't worry were working on the problem. I have almost gotten all the bums out of here."

"But they just come right back. If the prince gave us some of his soldiers then we could keep them out. We could also set up more guards throughout the town so the crime rate would decrease. Not only would it decrease we could catch many thieves and in a way pay Falena back for what we did."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up," Euram started to jump up and down, "I am handling the situation!"

The assistant gave up and turned to go back to his house. Euram watched him leave and almost getting run over by a homeless person, who was trying to run away from a guard. He knew that he was right but he didn't want to admit it.

The town continued on their frenzy trying to make it look a little better. Kicking out bums from in front of their houses and calling a guard at any shady character they saw.

"Lord Euram, the ship, it has arrived."

Euram quickly ran towards the dock and sure enough, the ship was growing closer to his town.

As soon as it gets here I lose all my authority, he thought.

He watched as it grew bigger, and bigger. Soon he was able to make out figures moving about on the deck. The he saw three figures near the bow of the ship.

Euram stood there waiting for the ship to dock. As it grew nearer he saw Frey. For some reason he didn't feel any anger or hatred. He didn't feel anything. As if nothing had ever happened between him and the prince.

The sailors aboard tossed the ropes over and the people on the dock caught them. They began tying them up and the ship slowed to a stop. A plank was thrown down across the ship to the dock and instantly people began to come ashore. The sailors also began to work on unloading their hull. They carried smaller crates off the ship and began using a pulley system to lift heaver crates.

Euram ran to where the people were coming off and he saw Luserina walk across the plank followed by Frey and Miakis.

"Well hello everyone," Euram said with a wide smile on his face, "I hope the trip went well."

Frey opened his mouth but Luserina was able to respond first.

"It was fine, let's get down to business brother," she seemed slightly annoyed, "I see there is a big fuss going on. What's that all about?"

"Well you see," Euram cupped his hands together nervously, "there have been a few small, very small problems."

"Like what," said Luserina almost shocking everyone at how serious she sounded.

"Well it isn't anything to worry about," Euram quickly decided to change the subject, "I bet your tired, how about some rest."

Luserina snapped her fingers at Euram, "now listen here. You will not try and persuade me to your bidding or try your mind games on me." She took a step closer to him causing him to flinch a little. "You will tell me everything that has happened, and you will be completely honest with me."

Frey and Miakis were almost as shocked as Euram. No one knew that Luserina could be so demanding and scary. Frey, who couldn't help it, began to laugh to himself a little. Miakis just smiled.

I have to say that she does know what she's doing, Miakis thought.

Euram explained everything that had happened since they were last in Rainwall. He finished with the latest news of purifying the town of all "low-lives" as he called them. Luserina instantly began barking out orders to the soldiers standing around.

"All right tell all the homeless people we will make room for them in the hotel. If the hotel can't cover the budget then take it out of the Barrow's family fund." She paused as she heard Euram gasp, and then she continued, "That way the guards can focus more on the crime problem. That is the first priority."

"But dearest sister, why put the homeless into the hotels. There just people who wander, why reward them for that?"

"Well you said that they started coming right after Godwin took this place over, and since we never did find out what happened to the people, who sided with the prince instead of Godwin, who lived at Stormfist. We now can only assume that they got kicked out and sent here instead. I mean Euram did you even talk to them to see if they have any skills."

After Euram shook his head no, she saw one bum duck behind some barrels avoiding the guards. They weren't fooled and the guards picked him up and began to drag him away. Luserina stopped them and beckoned them to her. They carried the bum to her and forced him onto his knees.

"Yes ma'am?" asked one of the guards.

She got on her knees and tucked her dress under her as she did. "What did you do before coming here."

The homeless man looked up at her, "I use to be a carpenter in Stormfist, until the war. Then Godwin kicked me out and I traveled until I ended up here."

Luserina gave a look to her bother as if saying 'see'.

She stood back up and told the guards to release him. She then turned to Frey and Miakis who were still standing there just listening.

She smiled and bowed, "I'm sorry about all this. Usually I would invite you in and show some hospitality but sadly I can't. I must begin my work right away."

Frey smiled back and shook his head, "there is no need, Luserina. We need to leave with this ship anyway. But thanks for the offer anyway."

As if almost on cue the captain shouted that they were ready for departure.

"Well, guess we better be going."

Frey walked up to Luserina and gave her a big hug. "Good bye, I hope to see you sometime in the near future."

He stepped back and turned to leave. When Miakis began to follow him he stopped and looked at her.

"What's the matter with you, where are your manners. Say good bye."

Miakis cursing under her breath turned to face Luserina with a big fake smile. Luserina kindly returned the favor with the same fake smile. Miakis bowed, "I'm going to miss you, bye now."

"Good bye Miakis and good luck you'll need it."

Miakis smile faded for a second but then she regained her composure. She began to smile again even more then before, "Oh don't worry, I have all the time in the world, and I'm a bodyguard so I'm always close, always."

Frey slightly confused scratched his head and opened his mouth to ask what they were talking about. Miakis not giving him a chance quickly grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him back onto the ship. He walked backwards and waved to a Luserina who seemed slightly mad now. He wasn't sure why but he figured it was because of all the work she had to do.

The ship left the dock and they began again on their way to the Sun Palace.


Nothing unusual happened for the rest of the journey. Frey apologized to Harvey who said it didn't matter and was actually amazed at how good a fighter Frey was. Everyone just did their normal routines, and everyday Frey got a little more anxious to get home. It was the last night of their voyage and Frey was going to bed. The next morning he would be home and be able to return to his normal life.

Frey took off his shirt and untied his hair. He took his shoes and socks off, but made sure to leave Lyon's sword on and crawled into bed. He soon fell asleep thinking about what the first day would be like home. He couldn't wait to see Lyn he missed her so much.

"Lyon what's wrong," Frey said turning to her.

"I'm sorry prince."

Lyon let go of his hand and fell to the ground.

"Lyon…Lyon," tears started dripping down Frey's face," Lyon what's wrong. Lyon!"

He fell to his knees besides her and put his hands on her face.

"Prince I-I'm s-sorry," Lyon barely said before passing away.

"No, Lyon you can't leave me...Lyon…Lyon!" screamed Frey with the tears pouring down his face and falling onto Lyon. "Please no…anything but this, why…why her, she was the only one I had left." The prince buried his head into her chest and cried. "Why, damn it, why."

Frey shot up in his bed.

"Damn it!" he shouted and punched the bed. "When will I stop having these nightmares, I can't stand it."

He looked down and saw Lyon's sword still tied to his waist.

So much for that idea, he thought.

Frey knew he wasn't going back to sleep and decided to walk out on the deck. He got out of bed and put Lyon's sword on his bed before leaving.

Frey reached the deck and instantly looked up at the stars. They were so bright out tonight. He loved looking at the stars since they always seemed to calm him. He looked back down to see a figure leaning on the railing at the other end of the ship.

As Frey got closer he realized it was Miakis. Slightly surprised to see her up but at the same time not sad either. Frey decided it was time for them to talk about what ever had been bothering her.

"Hey Miakis."

She quickly turned around to see Frey with a big smile on his face.

"Can't sleep," asked Frey.

"No, well yes, but I mean it isn't really anything," Miakis answered slowly turning back around to lean on the railing.

Frey not quite sure what to say next just watched her for a moment. He couldn't help but realize that like himself, Miakis was in what she slept in. Only her sleepwear was slightly more 'suggestive'. She had a sleeveless shirt on that was short enough to stop show her midriff. It was also a skirt that was short and ended just a little bit below her hips. He liked it even moe with her hair hanging over her shoulders. Once again somewhat 'suggestive' especially since she was leaning over a railing.

Frey quickly trying to get his mind of certain thoughts walked next to Miakis and leaned on the railing. He looked straight out across watching the moon just hovering over the horizon. He guessed, based on its position that the sun would raise soon.

Miakis looked out of the corner of her eye to see Frey. Who once again was shirtless, and she couldn't help but notice his body. Of course his hair was let down, and personally, she like it better that way.

I swear he gets better everyday, she thought, maybe it's the moonlight or something.

"Miakis," Frey said breaking the silence, "you were going to tell me something earlier. What was it?"

"Oh that, don't worry about it. It was nothing," Miakis answered.

"You're lying," Frey said turning to her. "I can tell when you're lying."

"Oh really how."

He leaned his elbow on the railing and leaned down to look at her eyes. She tilted her head a little to get the hair out of the way. Frey could see sadness in her eyes. Something was troubling her.

"Please Miakis, tell me what's wrong."

"Well, it's about my family and what I did before I became a Queen's knight."

"Go on," Frey said, interested at what she did before being a Queen's Knight.

"I'm sorry, I just can't say right now," she said looking away from Frey afraid she hurt his feelings.

"That's okay tell me when you can," he put his hand on her cheek turning her back to him, "I just want you to know that I will always be there for you. I will always listen to what you have to say. Don't be afraid to come to me."

A smile appeared on Miakis' face and then they looked at each other for a while, staring into each other's eyes. Frey began to lean in and Miakis closed her eyes waiting for the kiss that she always dreamed of. Then it came true, they kissed in the moonlight, nothing big, just a little one. After a few seconds they separated and they both smiled.

"Come on," Frey said with a gentle smile, "Let's go to bed."

He put his arm around her and led her back down below deck. They walked into Miakis room and she got back into bed. Frey pulled the sheets over her and tucked her in. Miakis who was already tired almost immediately began to fall asleep. Frey just smiled and walked back to his own room.

Frey picked up Lyon's sword and leaned it against the wall next to his bed. Then he got back in his bed and pulled the sheets over him.

I wonder how much sleep she has gotten the past few days, she fell right to sleep, he thought. To bad I was gonna give her a goodnight kiss too. Oh well

He rolled over to his side and looked out the window.

"At least something good finely came from not being able to sleep."

He smiled again before slowly falling asleep, replaying the moment over and over in his head.


Well I wont lie that chapter was a weird one. I mean that by how so many different things that had no relation to one another happened in it. The only reason I did it was because I did not want to make 3 chapters about sailing on one ship. So I made this one a little longer. I hoped you liked the ending to it. As you can tell things are going to start to get more interesting.

Also the reason why I put a fight in it, because it was really random if you didn't tell. Well I want you to tell me what you thought of it in your review. I just want you to tell me if you understood what was going on in it. Or do I have to explain it better, because there are going to be more fights in my story. I want to see if I need to work on them or if they are fine. But once again to let me know you need to review.
