Angelic Foundings
By Daito Dei Gratia
We marched on south into the northern border of Bern. Soon we ended up where two rivers meet and the marshes of Bern.
Chapter 3: The Wandering Wildflower
"So where in Bern are we?" Nataliee asked.
Corran told her, "Somewhere in the marshes... It still early in the morning, meaning it will be a bit foggy."
"But there water? Right?" Yoshimi questioned as he noticed the wet ground.
"Yes, and it just spring, meaning the snow just melted, meaning the road will be very narrow..." Daito explained, "We will have to find a bridge."
An arrow flew by and nearly hit Daito.
"We are under attack," Corran stated.
"Let find that bridge and make a run for it!" Yoshimi exclaimed.
They all carefully went through the bog. Yoshimi traveled with Corran and Nataliee was told to fly ahead and wait for them to stay out of all the archers' range.
Daito walked carefully through some woods till an arrow hit his sleeve leaving him stuck to a tree.
"I have never been here before... I think I caught some food though!" A young girl's voice exclaimed.
Soon a young female archer with green eyes and long waist length green hair appeared.
She soon saw Daito.
Daito quickly torn his sleeve off the arrow, the girl was about to run.
"... Wait..." Daito said.
The girl didn't run, but didn't replied.
"Who are you? Can I at least have your name?"
"... My name... is... Rinoa... Rinoa Spiral." The girl nervously told the assassin.
"Nice to meet you... May I ask if you know where there a bridge?" Daito asked her.
"... I never been here... So no." Rinoa replied.
Daito then questioned, "Then you are lost then?"
Rinoa answered, "No, I am fine!"
"... Will you help me? Come with me to the bridge?" Daito asked.
"... What?" Rinoa was surprised by the request.
"Please miss..." Daito pleaded.
"... Fine then," Rinoa told him.
"Thank you..." Daito said, but Rinoa didn't say any thing back.
Daito with Rinoa following walked through the woods. Meanwhile mercenaries attacked Yoshimi and Corran, taking a different path on clear land.
Corran blocked their swords with his lance as Yoshimi ran to the back and used his magic before trying to dodge again.
Corran quickly hit them all down with his lance.
"Tricky things," Corran commented as he turn to Yoshimi who was exhausted from all the excess running.
Daito stopped and Rinoa saw this.
"There are two axe fighters ahead... Rinoa, you will shoot an arrow at one while I attack the other." And before Rinoa could say anything, Daito disappeared.
Who is he? Why is he doing this in the first place? Rinoa questioned to herself as she shot an arrow hitting a person, soon a second scream followed.
Rinoa ran to see Daito standing over two dead fighters.
"Lets get going... We have to get out of here." Daito said and they were off again.
Soon they bumped into Yoshimi and Corran.
"Found anything?" Corran asked.
Daito nodded, "A few fighters, but I think the bridge is up ahead."
The four marched to see a bridge; this little adventure was over.
Yoshimi stared at the girl with Daito, "Who is she?"
"Rinoa, we met in the woods..." Daito explained while looking for a map.
They later met with Nataliee, bored from waiting, "Well it nice to see you guys again..."
Corran commented, "There goes all the peace and quiet in the world."
Nataliee just crossed her arms and then pointed, "Who are you by the way?" Pointing to Rinoa.
Rinoa was behind Daito the whole time.
"She's Rinoa..." Daito said.
Nataliee just stared at the two before saying, "Where to next?"
"Further south... Through forests and mountains to Bern." Daito told them.
Yoshimi commented before a sigh, "Oh fun..."
"Just get used to it," Corran commented as they marched.
