A/N: Hello, people of Fanfiction! I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of Blazing Light, and I look forward to writing more and more! So as usual, read, enjoy, review, fave, and on with the story!

Aracho slowly rose after what happened last night with Sonia. He saw that he was in a tent, and looked around his surroundings when he felt something soft. He looked and was shocked he was on a bed, with his injuries all bandaged up. He tried to get out the bed, but winced in pain when he tried to sit up. That's when the events of last night came back to him, hitting him like a boulder falling from the sky.

'That witch left me to die last night!' he thought in hatred, balling up his fists. He just gave up thinking about it and sat up on the bed, ignoring the shooting pain in his abdomen. He felt his foot kick something, and looked at what it was. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw his pack right there, still full.

"Oh, you're finally awake! That's a relief," a voice called out behind him, making him jump and shout in shock, before grabbing his side in obvious pain. She immediately rushed over to his side and set him back on the bed gently. "Sorry if I startled you!" she apologized quickly, her face full of honesty and worry.

"N-No! It's alright, I was just a little surprised, that's all," he reassured the girl. She nodded in contempt, and got up to get something, allowing Aracho to get a better look at her.

She looked like a teen, maybe 17 or 18, he guessed, with long green hair shaped in a ponytail wearing a rather revealing tribal dress, which gave the poor boy a little blush as he looked away. 'Damn teen hormones,' he thought.

"Anyways, my name is Lyn, of the Lorca. What's yours?" she asked him.

"Aracho, but you could just call me Archy if you want," he replied.

"That name is rather peculiar, but pay me no mind. Okay, well Archy, what were you doing that had you bleeding last night?" Lyn asked kindly, changing Aracho's expression into one of pure hate. Lyn was a little bit frightened at the sudden change of mood and even took a step back. Aracho felt bad and his face saddened, looking up at Lyn.

"I'm sorry if I scared you, Lyn, but I would like to keep that to myself, please," he told her gently.

"No, it's all right if you don't want to tell me now." By this time, the atmosphere was tense and Lyn decided to break it with a question. "So, where are you from Ara-um…Archy?" she asked, not used to the nickname just yet.

"Oh, well I lived in Bern ever since I was five, but I was born in Ilia,"

"Really now, when did your parents move to Bern?" she continued.

"Well, my parents died because of an illness, but these really nice people took me in as their family and I moved to Bern with them," he told her rather nonchalantly.

Lyn covered her mouth in shock when she heard his parents died. 'He was so young,' she thought with sentiment for him losing his parents at that young age.

"Well, Lyn, don't worry about it. Honestly, it doesn't bother me too much at all. Where are your parents?" Aracho returned. He immediately regretted it as soon as he saw her downtrodden expression. "Lyn you don't have to tell-" he started, but she interrupted him.

"No, No, it's all right. I guess I do need to tell someone instead of keeping it all in." After saying that, she gave a deep breathe before telling him what happened.

"My whole tribe, along with my parents, was killed by Taliver Bandits. I, along with about a dozen others, was all that were still alive. However, we separated and went our own ways."

"Lyn… I had no idea…" Aracho trailed off.

"Don't worry about it," Lyn assured.

Lyn was just getting ready to ask Aracho more about himself before they heard shouting outside. They shared a look as the shouting got more intense. "Can you help me out?" Aracho asked Lyn.

"Don't worry, I'll go see," She told him, then ran out the tent before he could retort.

'She's almost as stubborn as me' he thought after seeing Lyn run out of the tent. His thoughts were cut short as Lyn suddenly burst through the tent, picking up her sword and her scabbard. "Lyn, what's happening?" he asked her.

"Bandits," was all she said.

"Let me help," he offered.

"Can you use a weapon? Wait, it doesn't matter since your injuries are still there, even if nearly all the way healed. Just stay here, and if I don't come back, run." After that, Lyn ran out the tent, ready for battle.

"You have got to be kidding…," he said under his breath. Many people would listen and wait for her to return, but Aracho wasn't many people. Slowly, he got his Thunder tome out of his pack along with a vulnerary and headed out to help Lyn.

As soon as he got outside, he saw Lyn fighting a bandit, and he quickly hid in a thicket (A/N: Forests are huge so I'll use thickets) to observe. The bandit gave a rather sloppy swing of his axe that Lyn easily avoided and gave a slash to his arm, making him drop his axe in pain. He did not have much to do afterwards as Lyn shoved her sword in his heart, killing him instantly. She did not miss a beat, as she went straight toward the last bandit, with Aracho close behind just in case she needed help.

"Hah! You think you can stand against Batta the Beast!?" the brigand yelled, before charging in with a battle cry. He gave an overhead swing, which Lyn sidestepped, but then swung his axe in a horizontal way with surprising speed. Lyn blocked it, but the sheer strength behind the blow knocked her on her back, with her sword thrown several feet away from her. Instantly, she went to retrieve her sword as Batta went straight for her, axe overhead. Aracho realized the worst would happen if he didn't intervene.

Lyn was just about to retrieve her sword just as Batta was literally a few feet away from her. Seeing this as the perfect time, Aracho jumped out of his hiding spot after finishing his chant in secret. "Oh, no you don't!" he yelled as he outstretched his hand directly at Batta. He just barely had enough time to look before being struck by the magic of his Thunder tome. He was badly battered and burned, but his attention was turned away from Lyn, and that's all she needed.

She quickly grabbed her sword as Batta started advancing towards Aracho and quickly covered the distance between them. She launched forward behind Batta's back as he was too absorbed in trying to kill Aracho. With one thrust, Lyn's sword plunged itself through Batta's stomach, leaving him in shock.

"Wha- How did you…" he tried to ask before falling limp, ending the bandit's life. Lyn pulled her sword out and put it back in her scabbard. Aracho was about to congratulate Lyn before she started scolding him.

"What were you thinking, coming out like this!" she yelled. "I thought I told you to stay inside!"

Through all of her criticism, he pulled a sneaky smile as she finished her rant. 'Checkmate' he thought

"Well, Lyn, where would YOU be if I didn't come outside?" he asked calmly, with the smile still plastered onto his face.

"I would be-!" she stopped as she realized if Aracho weren't there, she most likely would have died.

"Exactly," he said matter-of-factly. Lyn's face quickly went from anger to embarrassment.

"Well, I was just worried…" she said, not unlike a little girl in trouble. He couldn't help it and just burst out laughing, much to Lyn's confusion.

"It's alright Lyn," he comforted. "Just don't be so reckless next time," he reprimanded gently. 'I'm probably more reckless than she is…' he thought to himself.

"Okay," she said. Then, she had thought of a great idea. "Say Aracho," she baited getting his attention. "Do you want to travel together? I mean-"

"Well, sure," He said, cutting her off.

"W-what? How are you agreeing so easily?"

"Do you not want to travel together or not?" he said with that trickster smile he was so known for.

"Well, yes," she sighed, knowing she was tongue-tied yet again.

"Great!" Aracho exclaimed.

"I was going to get some supplies tomorrow anyway, so we can make a fresh start." Lyn informed him. He nodded, and together they went back to the tent to prepare for their journey, together.
