Mirranu, Reviving Assassin

by Elven Malik

It has been 4 years since Eliwood, Lyn, and Hector defeated Nergal of the Black Fang. Many secrets of Jaffar that even he, himself, didn't know will soon be revealed as the battle against the Black Fang resumes, only this time, with much more devastation.

3. A New Army Means A New Hope

Raven curiously took his eyes off the battle to see what all the commotion was, "No... It can't be... Jaffar, look over there!" "I have seen it Raven. Let me finish off this last one and then we will go to the South side and await our new orders from Kent." He killed the last wretched soul before he ever even finished speaking.

"Kent, what are our orders?" said Jaffar with a fearless tone. "We need more soldiers. At this rate, they will have the whole of Castle Caelin taken over in a matter of minutes."

"You say you need more soldiers?" two voices yelled out as one. "Would the entire army of Bern satisfy you?" "Jaffar, can you see who that is?" said Kent. "It is...PENT AND LOUISE!" Raven yelled before Jaffar could even look.

"All right everyone, ATTACK!" Vaida cried out. Raven and Kent just watched in amazement as all of Bern's army charged in, or in the case of some of them, flew in, trampling most of the invaders and killing off those who didn't get trampled. The entire mob of killers was finished off in seconds. "Thanks, you couldn't have come at a better time," Kent said to Vaida, Louise, and Pent.

An hour later they were in the castle's entry hall. "When we heard what was happening, we immediately went to Bern and requested the help of their forces," Pent explained later on. "Well, we are glad you did. If you hadn't, I don't know what we would have done," said Lady Lyn appreciatively. "But it seems we didn't need all of the recruits we expected to need. I think we have finished off all of the remains of the Black Fang." At this Jaffar spoke up, "No, we haven't even come close to becoming victorious. All the troops that infiltrated the castle today weren't even enough to be considered 0.0001 of their entire army. It is an enormous army of millions. It is the largest army in the world. The reason it is so unknown is because all dynasties that have been attacked by them, haven't had any survivors to warn others." "But wouldn't somebody have seen them, though?" Lady Lyn asked. "No, they are very cautious when on the move. They have excellent hiding skills and unbelievable speed."

"Well then, I suppose it is a good thing that your messengers searched out us, as well," called a firm voice at the castle's entrance.
