Chapter II – The Lord's Arrival
"MANTA! GET THE DAMN DOOR!" Anna barked. Manta hastily opened the door. As soon as he did, the three guests strutted in.
"Greetings. I am Lord Eliwood. These are my companions: Lady Lyndis and Lord Hector." The red-haired one said while motioning to the others.
"Please, call me Lyn." The woman said cheerfully. "This is Anna, Manta, and Ryu." Yoh said. The big one smirked as he saw Ryu's wooden sword. "Who owns the dog?" He asked. Yoh, Manta, Ryu, and Anna looked perplexed. "Don't dogs like chewing on sticks like that?" He asked, pointing to the bokuto.
"What...did...you...say?!?" Ryu snarled through gritted teeth.
"I said that that is a pathetic excuse for a weapon." Hector replied, his hand on the hilt oh his axe.
"Please, let's sit down and talk." Manta said, not wanting a duel to start in the room he helped clean. Hector and Ryu cast angry glances towards each other, and then sat down. The rest followed. With a commanding glance from Anna, Manta ran into the kitchen and brought out some tea.
"I've heard a lot about you, Yoh." Eliwood said. "You seem to be the king of all shamans, am I right?"
"Yeah, that's true." Yoh replied, leaning back in his chair.
"I've been interested in the shaman kingdom ever since my adventures began. . ." Eliwood said, his voice drifting off into memory.
"So, Lyn, how has the trip been on you?" Ryu said, eyeing Lyn's legs.
"Phere is a long way from here. It took us a while, even with Hyperion."
"Who?" Manta asked, not sure if he really wanted to know.
"Never mind." Lyn said.
"Lady Lyn, will you stay with me forever? I wish for you to be with me for all eternity!" Ryu exclaimed, his eyes burning like spirit flames.
"Umm. . . . . sorry Ryu. I'm already married to a knight, Kent." At this remark, Ryu sulked away.
"What kind of sissy drink is this?" Hector exclaimed, poking the tea. "Where's the beer?"
"We're 14. We can't buy alcohol." Manta said.
"Damn it. I'll have to drink this crap water." Hector said under his breath.
"Yoh, would you like to have duel?" Eliwood asked, an odd light shining in his eyes.
"Eliwood, mind your manners!" Lyn exclaimed.
"No, it's ok." Yoh replied. "I've been bored since the Shaman Tournament ended. A good battle will do me good."
Everyone went outside to witness this battle. Manta, Anna, and Lyn sat on the sidelines. Eliwood and Yoh were in the yard. Ryu and Hector were glowering at each other. Everything was ready. Just then a flush from the house was heard. "Why is everyone outside?" Horohoro asked. "When did you get here?" Manta asked. "I've been in the bathroom." Horohoro said. "You mean you've been here since you came over?" Manta said, eyes widening. "So?" "THAT WAS FOUR DAYS AGO!!!" Manta exclaimed. "Oh. . ." "Hey, we're kind of starting a battle here." Yoh said.
"AMIDAMARU! SPIRIT FORM!" Yoh shouted. Amidamaru appeared in his little flame ball form. "Interesting spirit, Yoh." Eliwood said. "Thanks, he's...wait, you can see him?!?" Yoh asked. "You think a sissy boy like Eliwood could fight on his own?" Hector laughed. "He's right you know." Eliwood said as a red spirit knight appeared behind him.
"I'm a shaman."
Yes, it's true. A queer like Eliwood can't fight for his life. And he did say he was interested in the shaman kingdom. . .
