Chapter 6
"Is it just me or Kevin turned to Eliwood?" Lyn said finally
Everyone was staring at me ever since the two tacticians finished picking the teams. The two choose all the three lords, Sain and Kent, Oswin, Canas, Matthew, Lucius, Guy, Pricilla, Fiora and Bartre.
"I'll tell you about it later," I said calmly, "but right now we have to stop Darin and save Eliwood's father."
"He's right," Tom followed, "and with that cloaked guy around we have to be extra careful."
The battle was fierce. There was reinforcement everywhere. Hector was cutting though the knight's armour like butter, Eliwood defeat the cavaliers with his Rapier and a few move that I teach him and Lyn was like a berserker and was really determined to beat them all. But then an archer hit Lyn in the right shoulder and out of nowhere, 3 cavaliers came and rushed on Lyn. So I decide to step in and help her. I also didn't notice Raven and Lucius was behind me and killed two of the three cavaliers. Lyn tripped the last one with her iron sword and I manage to finish him off with ease.
"Lady Lyndis," Lucius called, "are you okay?"
"Lucius!" Lyn called out, "your hair!"
"Don't ask..."
"At least you keep on having critical attacks ever since the last two battles." Raven replied
"Shut it..."
"What! It's a compliment."
"Help!" Priscilla screamed
"Priscilla," Raven barked, "I'm coming!"
"Wait Lord Raven!" Lucius called
"Hey wait for me..." Lyn said
"No you are not!" I shouted.
I grabbed her arm to stop her and she slapped me right in the face. But I tripped her before I fell to the ground.
"What was that for?" she complained
"Didn't you notice that the arrow is still in your shoulder?" I shouted, "Here let me take that off."
She nodded; feeling a little embarrassed; and sat down. It's a good thing the arrow wasn't deep and I yanked it out of her arm and she slapped me again.
"That hurt!" she whined
I tried not to respond on that one and then I give her a twig, "Bite this."
"Why?"
"The next one will hurt even more."
She gulped when I said that. I took out a bottle and drop some at the wound. It was so painful that Lyn was squeezing my left hand real hard. It took a few minutes for it to be fully healed.
"How is it?" I asked
Then she rotated her shoulders and out of nowhere she punched me in the head.
"It feels better," she called, "thanks."
"Your welcome," I muttered, "that really hurt."
"Did I really hit you that hard?" Lyn asked
"I thought you are going to slap me?"
"I punch with my right," she replied, "I slap with my left."
I laughed at the answer and Lyn's eyes dotted followed by a big sweat.
"Man," I chuckled, "I can imagine you... Punching Hector when you two are arguing."
Lyn laughed after that and pulled me up from the floor.
"You have a wild imagination."
"Your right... Someone's here." I paused
"You're right," Lyn whispered, "I can hear it's footsteps but where is it coming from?"
"Hey!" Eliwood called from behind
"Ah!"
"It's only Eliwood Lyn." I said calmly
"Oh!" Lyn called, "what's wrong?"
"We manage to take out all the enemies," Tommy said (he always follow Eliwood), "except for Darin."
"Are you sure?"
"We also manage to get a new recruit," Eliwood said, "but he's out for a moment to do some last minute shopping."
"I don't follow," I said, "and where's Hector? I know he's eager to fight and has been reckless lately..."
"Don't worry," Tommy said, "he's with Oswin. So there is nothing to worry about."
Then a loud explosion echoed on the halls.
"That's where Hector and the others are!" Tom shouted
"Let's go!" Lyn commanded
We were running toward the room and saw Hector (Kimberly was behind him) and Oswin panting and bruised and on the other side, a mercenary with a black coat. I couldn't tell his face because he's wearing a hood. He is also carrying a steel blade in his right hand and a black glove on his left. I can tell he's a little younger than me, about Nino's age, and his voice sound very familiar.
"Give me the girl if you want to live," he said, "or else face my wrath."
"She want Ninian." Lyn whispered to Eliwood
"We have to do something," Eliwood said, "Hector and Oswin are injured and there is no time to call for the others."
"I'll talk to him," I said, "I think I can persuade him to join our side."
"Josh," Lyn called, "be careful."
I smiled back and walked toward the mercenary and called his name
"John!"
"How did you know my name?" he replied
He took of his hood and as usual his hair is as spiky as ever.
"Kevin," he asked, "why are on the bad guys?"
"John," I sighed, "you are on the bad guys side."
"And why is that?"
"They are trying to bring the dragons back here and destroy us all." I lied
"What!" John screamed, "I cant believe I'm working for the bad guys!"
"So will you join us?"
"You have to pay me first!"
Lyn and Eliwood fell when they heard that they have to pay him first.
"No problem," Hector bragged, "Kim."
"Uh!" Kimberly chocked, "Lord Hector... about the money."
"What about it?" Oswin asked
"We only have 10 gold left." She muttered
"What!" Hector barked
"It seems the items are very rare and expensive," she said, "at least we have a lot of killing weapons. Lord Hector?"
Hearing those words caused Hector to faint. But Lyn punched him and he was back to normal. I tried not to laugh.
"You know what," John sighed, "just pay me later."
"Lord Eliwood! Lady Lyndis!" Kent called from the halls, "we found his chamber!"
"Ready John?" I asked
"Let's go."
