Hey, cool...8 reviews on the first chapter! ^_^ well, seeing as how so many ppl reviewed...here's chapter 2!
Disclaimer: I do not own LoD, but Serem and the Eclipse dragoon stone are mine!
I made it to the town-Seles- and saw the guy from before finish of a pair of soldiers, and run around a half-destroyed building.
I ran toward that building, and when I heard him confronting another soldier, ducked behind a pile of rubble to listen.
"You must be kidding! You attacked the village only to kidnap Shana!?"
"Exactly, but don't worry, I'll let you follow them. Although not to Hellena! To Hell!"
I noticed a couple soldiers coming to help their commander, jumped out from where I was hiding, and dashed toward the pair.
"I'll take out the flunkies. You just take down their commander."
I was behind the pair in an instant, swept the legs out from one of them, flipped over him, and kicked the second in the chest before drawing the dagger.
The first guard had started to get back on his feet, so I spun around and threw the dagger, which cut straight through his armor, and struck his heart, killing him. I turned back to my other opponent, dodged a slash, and kicked him in his chest again. As he stepped back, I prepared a fist-sized fireball and threw it straight into the center of his chest, searing a hole through his armor, and throwing him back several steps, where he collapsed, dead.
Man...I never thought I could fight like that... I thought. I'm getting pretty good at throwing those fireballs around too...oh, wait...there was the commander as well! I turned to face the other two, and saw the commander dead on the ground, and the other guy talking to an old man who by the building. Oh...guess that problem's taken care of as well...
I walked over to the body of the first soldier and retrieved my dagger and wiped the blood off on the soldier's clothes before sheathing it.
"Hey, thanks for your help." The other guy had finished talking to the old guy, and had turned to face me. "By the way, I'm Dart." He finished, extending a hand.
"Serem," I said, and took his hand. "So...who's Shana? Your girlfriend or something?"
"No. I think of her as more of a little sister than anything."
"I see...so...you're going to rescue her from this 'Hellena Prison'?"
"Of course!"
"I think I'll go with you. It's not like I have any plans or anything..."
He gave me a sharp look. "Are you sure about that? Hellena's no tourist attraction."
"I'm sure it isn't, but you could always use someone to watch your back"
He accepted my help, and decided that we should leave for Hellena immediately, so we left, leaving the survivors of the attack to see to deal with the village.
We were walking through a forest between Hellena and Seles when Dart started talking to me.
"Hey, Serem, where'd you learn to fight like that?"
I shrugged. "I never had any training. I was just going by instinct back there. Why do you ask?"
"What!? Are you serious!? I've seen people who trained for years and yet couldn't even begin to fight like that!"
"Hey, maybe I was a warrior in a past life!" I laughed. "But seriously, I don't know how I fight like that, it just comes naturally. By the way...Dart, what can you tell me about Hellena?"
"Not much actually. No one has ever managed to escape, and there aren't many people who would try to break into the prison.
"So it's the equivalent of Alcatraz..." I muttered.
"What?"
"Nevermind...it's nothing important. But the fact that no one has tried to break in may work in out favor. They'll probably be overconfident and easy to surprise. If not, I'm sure that we can take them."
We soon left the forest and started on the road that would lead us to Hellena Prison.
Okay, there's Chapter Two, sorry it took so long, but I thing ff.net took offense at me putting up that request earlier, and my comp's been a bit buggy to boot *kicks computer* stupid thing....
Like I said before, if anyone can tell me of a playstation emulator that would let me play the LoD cd, or knows of a way to copy the cd in iso format (or in some format that am emulator would be able to read) it would help me to get this fic done a lot faster. If not, expect one update every two weeks.
