Chapter 3: Problems Arise
KENT stirred as rays of sunlight from the crack of his tent hit his face. It wasn't until he felt Sain kick him that he jerked awake. He sat up and shot a glare at him (who was still asleep). He suddenly winced when Sain, who seemed to be fighting unseen enemies threw a punch at his stomach. Okay then, I guess I'll go outside to prevent anymore injuries, he thought as he quickly dressed and exited the tent.
Kent stepped into the fresh morning air, recalling the events of last night. He groaned. Stupid Sain, he thought, Lady Lyndis probably thinks I'm some kind of sex starved freak now.
LYN had always been an early riser, a habit that she had acquired from living on the plains. Tying her hair into a messy ponytail, she stepped out into the light. Yawning and rubbing her eyes, she decided to practice with her Light Brand. Being considerably heavier than the Mani Katti, she knew that she had to be very skilled with it to survive the upcoming battles. She was saving the Mani Katti for the later battles.
Up, down, right, left, block, block, thrust, Lyn repeated over and over in her head as her sword began to come alive with movements. Pretty soon, it was hard to see where the sword was because she was swinging it too fast. Up, down, BLOOK, BLOCK, thrust right! Thrust left!
Suddenly, for no reason at all, her right arm began to cramp up. She dropped her sword and fell to her knees, holding her arm in pain. Damnit! she thought, Stupid Light Brand just has to be so heavy.
I'm so weak. She struggled to hold back tears that were threatening to fall down her pretty face. Why can't I be strong like Hector? Or brave like Eliwood? Everyone expects so much from me.
KENT lay in the grass on a hill not too far from their camp, looking up into the clear blue sky. The weather in Caelin was always fair, and he suddenly became homesick. He wondered how his mother and father and four little brothers and sisters were doing.
He heard a sound coming from a bush behind him. Drawing his sword, he watched closely as the bushes began to rustle even more. Raven's red hair became visible as Kent stepped closer. Kent suppressed a chuckle as he sheathed his sword.
"What the hell are you staring at Kent?" Raven demanded, glaring at Kent.
"Oh nothing really, just wondering why you're up so early and in a bush!" Kent replied merrily.
Raven's stomach growled. So did Kent's. Ugh, now that I think of it, I'm starving! "Well, I'm going down for breakfast now, come join me anytime." Kent called to Raven as he ran down the hill.
The camp was starting to awaken. Eliwood and Hector, who shared tents were engaged in conversation. Serra had her hands full chatting with Erk, who had a look on his face that seemed to say, Someone please save me. Marcus was discussing strategy with Lowen and Wallace, and Pricilla, Pent, and Canas were discussing spells.
Kent wandered over to where Nino had started a fire with magic. The sweet aroma of bread filled his nose. Walking over to where Guy and Harken were "roasting" bread using the tip of their swords, he sat down. Unsheathing his own, he took some bread and joined them.
LYN struggled back to camp, her arm still throbbing. Eliwood had mentioned earlier that they were going to a volcanic area today, where he would only bring five members. Those five were already chosen. She was one of them, along with Kent, Hector, and Pent. I don't want to let everyone down by telling him that I can't go along. I hope Eliwood doesn't notice anything wrong with my arm. She clenched her teeth and strolled into the camp.
She was just arrived when Eliwood made an announcement. "Many of you know that today I will be going with Hector, Kent, Lyndis, and Pent, to a sacred area where I should find a weapon capable of defeating the fire dragon. I want the rest of you to travel to Ostia to stay at the castle. We will be meeting there. I've decided to get an early start, so my group, we're leaving in about five minutes. Remember to carry some elixirs!"
Great, Lyn thought. Five minutes to grab my Light Brand, Mani Katti, short bow and elixirs, not to mention grab a bite to eat.
KENT went into his tent to grab his Silver Lance, Silver Sword, and some elixirs. Finding that Sain was still snoring, Kent jabbed his companion with the butt of his lance. Sain groaned and turned around. Kent sighed. He'll never change.
