Chapter 7: Misunderstandings

In the dead of the night cracks appeared in the sky shattering revealing a hole dropping a body out and then disappearing like nothing ever happened.

? Pov the next morning

"augh what happened where am I" I said waking up looking around noticing there was ashes everywhere on the ground "last thing I remember was…Lucina where is she" I said looking around realizing I was alone. "augh my head" I groaned 'think Soren how did you end up here I remember is what seemed like the world shattering around me and then falling then nothing' deciding to try and figure out where I was instead I began taking in my surroundings picking up my sword when I heard a someone shout "Lookout" as a bolt of lightning flew past my shoulder.

"Drake Pov"

Me and poet decided against a traditional ceremony opting for a small wedding with our friends there was much to celebrate that night. The next morning we woke up and ate breakfast at the inn when I overheard a conversation between two other patrons about how the sky shattered last night and something or someone apparently fell from it. "Drake?" Poet asked "I should check that out" I said "there may be someone out there who needs help" "Go" she said kissing me "be careful" she whispered before I left heading in the general direction not noticing the small shape follow me out.

1 mile out

Nah Pov

I decided to sneak out and follow daddy grabbing the dagger I found the other day and hoping no one would notice I'm gone I kept a good distance behind him when I heard a groan and saw a man with dark brown hair and hazel eyes in the middle of the ash fields he seemed to be confused he then got up grabbing a sword that was made out of a strange blue material. I then noticed the ash swirling behind him as a vaguely huminoid creature rose up and started to attack him focusing the magic daddy taught me lightning crackled to life as it shot from my hand and I shouted "watchout" as the lightning flew over his shoulder striking down the ash spawn.

Drake Pov

As soon as I heard Nah's voice I turned and ran towards where it came from I saw a man approaching her and she was backed against a tree with her dagger pointed towards him trembling "Get away from her" I yelled as I rushed towards him fist pulled back for a powerful straight punch the man turning to see me and rasing a sword to block so my punch only sent him backwards not injuring him as much "Nah run I said she nodded and started running back towards the settlement I then pulled out a pair of gloves I made lined with silver raising one to block the blue sword coming at me

(music unfinished battle)

With my other hand I delivered a straight punch to the stranger's stomach knocking him back making him visibly wince he rushed at me again as I raised my glove to block he switched where he was attacking from and I received a gash on my chest "ok I'm done being nice" I said throwing my coat off spreading my now healed wings and soaring up into the air "stoke the power of the heart and ignite my weapon" I said as I pressed my fists together "Sword magic fire" I finished as my fists were set ablaze I sent a ball of fire at him with a punch he dodged out of the way when I noticed his hand glowing light blue and a pair of wings sprouted from his back he held his palm out in front of me and runes started swirling around it "Elwind" he shouted as a blade of wind came at me and I just barely managed to dodge "that's some power you have where did you learn to fight like that" he asked gasping for air "my father taught me some of what I know but the rest I've learned my own" I replied "what is your name" I asked "Soren" he responded "my name is Drake" I said as I raised my fist again when from below I heard a familiar voice shout "Fus ro dah" as a shockwave struck us both and we hit the ground and we both passed out.

General Pov

Poet stood tapping her foot in front of the two warriors with a mildly upset look on her face Drake looked at his wife frowning a bit while Soren was trying to take everything in "I thought I told you to be careful" Poet yelled at Drake "sorry honey" Drake muttered she then turned to Soren and said "I'm sorry for my husband's actions he can be a bit over protective when it comes to Nah "understandable I have a family of my own" he said with a sad look on his face "oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you" she said "huh oh no no no" it's just I was separated from them recently he said while looking at Nah who was pestering Ren to play with her drake noticed this and turned to Soren "can I talk to you in the other room really quick" Drake asked and Soren wearily nodded

Drake Pov

"You know something about my daughter don't you" I said closing the door he looked at me quizzically "your daughter?" he asked "yes she fell from a thing in the sky and the first thing she did was call me daddy" I explained "whatever you know about her I ask you keep it to yourself please when she fell from the sky she had no memories and I don't know how getting them back like that would affect her" I continued. "I see normally I don't keep secrets but in this case I won't say a word" "oh one last thing" I said before turning back to Soren "since you may very well be traveling with us know this I don't trust you fully I said give me a reason to believe you will hurt anyone in this small group and I will end you" revealing a katana like blade attached to my waist as a dark aura seemed to manifest around me. Soren gulped "yes sir" he said "good now that that's clear lets introduce you to my friends and family" I said leading Soren back to the main room pointing to the dark elf who had shouted us out of the sky "this is Vahl one of my best friends" I said vahl looked at him and smiled "Nice to meet ya she said" I then pointed to the girl a blue hooded cloak with a cotton shirt underneath hempen leggings and a large book on her waist "this is my other best friend Lily Hamano" Lily looked up from where she was sitting reading a tome "oh well met Soren" she said then returning to her book Soren looked at me curiously "she gets like that when she is studying magic" I explained. I then pointed to a figure in a dark cloak with a pair of claws on either side of his waist "that is my brother Ren" I explained Ren looked at him and Hmphed "not much of a people person is he" Soren asked I shook my head. "I then turned to where Poet and Nah were "and this is my wife Poet" I said smiling "and you've already been acquainted with my daughter Nah" I said when I noticed a pained look on Soren's face and I caught him as he started to fall back and pass out.
