Note to Readers: Just to tell you that this is fiction and not all of it are based in the game such as Lucius hair was cut off and Nino and Jaffar entering earlier. Also thanks for those who reviewed my story. Hope you like this chapter

Chapter 7

We were on our way to Darin's layer, followed by Kent. He explained that Darin is equipped with a hand axe, a silver lance and a spear. I can tell this will be a difficult match. On the way I notice that Lyn and Eliwood are talking about sparring together later on. I'm not sure what they are talking about but it seems their relationship seem to grew a little. I also notice that John feeling a little uneasy.

"What's wrong?" I asked to John

"I felt a strange presence," he said, "I can't tell what it is but I think someone is following us."

"What do you mean?"

"Haven't you notice there are shadows all over here?"

"Do you think that something bad is going to happened?"

"Don't believe in superstition." John muttered

"I don't either," Hector called, "but I can feel it too. Someone is watching us."

"It is better to keep going, "Oswin called, "how far are we to..."

"There they are." Kent pointed at Sain, Fiora and Canas who is waving their hand at us.

We saw at the end of the hall was a huge crack. I looked at the crack and saw Darin and a bunch of Shamans, Mages and Cavaliers guarding him. Sain explained that if we break the wall we'd be able to strike him from behind.

"But we need a distraction from the main opening," Kimberly explained, "So we'll have enough time to beat his guards and take him out."

"Great plan Kimberly," Sain said, "I'll happily be the bait to..."

"We need someone that can actually pay attention." Tom growled

"I'll go," I said, "But I could use some backup."

"I'll go too!" John replied

"I think you are better off here since then need someone strong to break the wall."

"I'll go!" Raven answered from behind, "all I need is a lancereaver and I'm ready to go."

"I'll come to, "Hector said, "you need someone with a good defence on this one."

"If Lord Raven is going then so am I!" Lucius said

"Alright," Tom said "but before you go here Lucius."

"Is this a..."

"It's a Guiding ring," Tommy explained, "use it when you defeat at least 2 enemies. Canas already used his earlier (reach level 20)."

"Ready you guys?"

"Let's do this!" Hector called

"That's my line!" Kimberly whined after

On the way to the entrance I was thinking about Ninian. Ever since she took a detour on to this strange place, where a picture of a dragon and a human, I was feeling different. What's so odd about it is that they are not fighting each other. More like living together. It's odd; usually most painting of dragons and humans is that they fought each other, mostly about the Scouring. I know that dragons don't exist in this realm anymore and yet, I feel they still exist here. Especially when...

"Hey!" Raven called, "stop daydreaming kid. We have work to do."

"Yeah... thanks."

"Can't stop thinking about her?" Lucius asked

"Yeah..." I blushed a little

"Well you cant date her," Raven barked, "she's too..."

"Not Pricilla Raven!" my face was very red, "it's someone else!"

"Hey you three!" Hector called, "we have work to do."

"Lord Raven," Lucius called, "please you have to let your..."

"Today is not the perfect time anyway Lucius," Raven called, "and we should stay focus on the task ahead."

"Here they come," I shouted, "let's do this!"

"Some can't wait to die!" Raven mumbled (Some of Raven's famous words)

Raven was killing the cavaliers with his lancereaver, Hector was dodging the knightes's attack and missing his attacks on them, Lucius just turned to a bishop when he defeated 2 shamans and annihilated the rest with ease. I was handling the mages and beat them with ease. But the enemy keeps on coming and we need reinforcement now.

"Flux!" shouted John from the wall and as soon as it was opened was Sain showing off (and Kent save him before he get any damages). Then Hector manages to knock out all of the cavaliers and knights and went toward Darin.

"You're going down Darin!" Hector shouted

"I beg to differ," Darin grinned, "catch!"

Darin throws a hand axe at Hector, but he deflected it with an iron axe, which broke. Then Hector used his hand axe to confuse Darin and he manage to do some damage on his armour with his Wolf Beil. I have seen lots of people gone berserk, but Hector is beyond that.

"Hector!" Eliwood shouted, "Look out!" there was a mage behind him and was going to attack him from behind. But he was ignoring Eliwood warning, so he threw his iron sword to the sage's head.

"Eliwood," Lyn called, "catch!" she throws her lancereaver to Eliwood and notice a knight was behind him and manage to hold his attack.

"Lyn," he groaned, "Finish him!"

Lyn then flipped backwards, escaping a cavalier's attack, and did a critical to the knight. But the cavalier was chasing her and Eliwood used his Rapier to kill the cavalier with ease.

"Nice move!" Lyn smiled

"You to," he replied, "we better go help Hector."

Eliwood nodded and notice that Hector was dodging his attack, but missing him also and the only thing that is getting damaged is the ground. I was so focus on watching those two I didn't notice that Kim was behind me.

"I told Hector if he was slaking off, he won't be in the battlefield for two days." Kim explained to me

"Do you really have to be that harsh?" I asked

"I know how short tempered he is," she said, "and he ate my lunch before we went to Baron."

I moved back, feeling a little scared, and all of a sudden I bumped to John, who is battling with a knight.

"A little help here kid?" John said

"Sure," I smiled, "Flame!"

I cast a large fume at the knight's face and sent him crashing toward a cavalier, and a couple of mages. Then John cast a Flux to destroy the shaman that was behind me.

Hector was holding Darin's attack and I can tell Hector was getting tired. Then Eliwood and Lyn punched Darin in the head and send him to the ground.

"Now I know how Kevin feels when he punched that Paladin in Baron." Eliwood smiled

"Yeah," Lyn laughed, "remind me not to do that again."

"Let's finish this you two," Hector grinned with his left eye closed, "time for Darin to pay for what he's done."

Lyn and Eliwood came to the attack first with a Mani Katti and a Rapier and broke the 2 weapons and his shoulder pads. Hector did a critical, which cracked Darin's armour and sent him crashing to the throne.

"Imp... impossible," he stammered, "how could you..."

"Pathetic," Ephidel's voice boomed to the room, "you said that you will beat Lord Eliwood and his friends by yourself and they are the ones that they are beating you."

Then he appeared beside Darin and was laughing maniacally

"It's him," Tommy growled, "why does it have to be him?"

"Kill him Ephidel," Darin laughed, "your master order..."

But before he was about to finish his sentence, Ephidel cast as Elfire on to him, which finished him off and turned him to ashes.

"Pitiful human," Ephidel called, "they are so fragile. Don't you agree?"

"You monster," Eliwood muttered, "how could you?"

"At least I am not human," he grinned, "and since you are, you will die like him. Elfire!!!"

He cast a huge Elfire heading toward the three lords, but I used my hidden power to blocked the attack and save them and counter it with his own attack. He dodged it with ease but didn't notice that Canas and John was behind him and cast a Luna / Flux combo that did some majour damages and shattered his cloak.

"How dare you!" Ephidel shouted with rage (must be his favourite cloak), "Jaffar!"

Then out of nowhere Jaffar appeared behind the angry mage.

"Destroy Kevin! Destroy all of them!" he shouted, "Make them all suffer!"

Jaffar came with incredible speed and tackled the three lords. Kent and Sain tried to hit him but he was too fast and Jaffar's eyes were locked to me. He took out his killing edge and I blocked it with my gauntlet and did an uppercut punch at his face. He landed to the ceiling and pushed himself down which forced me to move out of the way and he kicked me to a pillar behind me. I opened my eyes and I the first thing that I see was Jaffar. He grabbed my clothes and pushed me to the pillar with his left and on his right, was a killing edge. He was about to finish me until...

"Jaffar," Nino's voice echoed to the room, "let him go now!"

I looked at the entrance and I saw Nino with....

"Ninian!"
