Emmeryn and Yen'fay

C

Yen'fay: Lady Emmeryn.

Emmeryn: ... Yes?

Yen'fay: My name is Yen'fay. Your brother has assigned me to be your bodyguard.

Emmeryn: Ah...

Yen'fay: To be honest, I don't know why he chose me. I failed to protect my own sister, how can I protect another?

Emmeryn: Fail... No...

Yen'fay: Emmeryn... I appreciate the sentiment, but I failed my duty to my sister... I have no reason to be here...

Emmeryn: ... Yen'fay...

Yen'fay: Now then... You lead, and I will follow.

Emmeryn: ...

Yen'fay: Emmeryn?

Emmeryn: Ah, yes... Come...

B

Yen'fay: Milady Emmeryn... May I ask that you stop being so rash in battle?

Emmeryn: Rash...?

Yen'fay: You run headfirst towards wounded allies, ready to heal them. But you run straight past enemies. It makes it difficult to protect you.

Emmeryn: I can't.

Yen'fay: Emmeryn, please-

Emmeryn: No. People hurt... I help. Always...

Yen'fay: Emmeryn... Very well. I will let you do as you please... But please, warn me before you go running off.

Emmeryn: Yen'fay... Thank you...

A

Yen'fay: I truly am a disgrace...

Emmeryn: Yen'fay... No-

Yen'fay: My duty was to protect you... And yet, last battle, you saved me...

Emmeryn: No...

Yen'fay: I was hit by a Risen, and you came running up with a staff, ready to heal me... You nearly got shot with an arrow twice to get to me! I put your life in danger... I failed-

Emmeryn: Stop.

Yen'fay: ?

Emmeryn: Yen'fay... Why did you... Hurt?

Yen'fay: ... Because I was too lenient to my foe on the battlefield

Emmeryn: ... Why... There?

Yen'fay: Why was I on the battle field? Because I am a part of this army.

Emmeryn: Why?

Yen'fay: ... Because... Because... I came here to change what I lost. I came back to redo what went wrong.

Emmeryn: Yen'fay... Strong.

Yen'fay: Emmeryn... Thank you. I forgot why I came here... As long as I hold those ideals to heart, I can prevail. Thank you, Emmeryn.

Emmeryn: Of course...

S

Yen'fay: Emmeryn... May I have a moment?

Emmeryn: Yen'fay... Yes?

Yen'fay: ... I've realized something... When I first came back, I fought for one reason. To save my sister. But now... There is another reason I fight.

Emmeryn: Oh...?

Yen'fay: Yes... I fight for you, Emmeryn.

Emmeryn: !

Yen'fay: More and more, I find myself lost in thought about you. How you can inspire me to fight any foe, no matter how strong, with so few words... Emmeryn, when this war is over... I wish to return to my time, and rebuild there... Will you come with me?

Emmeryn: Yen'fay...

Yen'fay: Oh, no... You're cry-

Emmeryn: No... Not sad cry... Happy... I... I... I love you...

Yen'fay: Emmeryn... And I love you...

Epilouge:

After the war, Yen'fay and Emmeryn vanished, never to be seen again. Some say they eloped into the Outrealms, but no one can say they saw the two depart.


A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, but... Come on, neither Yen'fay or Emmeryn talk much. Next up, Emmeryn and Aversa... You know, both of the Aversa chapters were too serious... I think a little fun is called for next chapter!
