Stray Arrow Chapter 4"So this is Khathelet." Said Lyn.
"Yup," Replied Sain. "We're almost to Caelin!"
"That's wonderful, Lyn!" Said Florina, coming up behind them.
"Yes it is." Lyn smiled. Suddenly a young boy perhaps a year or two younger than Florina, ran up to the ragtag bunch.
"Please, milady! Please! Help me! Nin- I mean, my sister. She has been taken away by some bad men." The pale-green haired boy pleaded. Kent stepped slightly in front of Lyn.
"Milady Lyndis. You cannot let your guard down. Not even for a child."
"I know Kent, but I-I want to help him. Elfaiya, what do you think?" The young tactician shrugged.
"Fine by me."
"Alright, we'll help you find your sister. Will you lead us to the men who took her?"
"Uh huh. But they're really strong."
"Don't worry, we're quite strong ourselves." Replied Lyn reassuringly. Suddenly Florina let out a yell. A black-robed figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Lyn!"
"I've come for the boy." The figure said.
"No. If you are after him, then we'll protect him. " Said Lyn as she sank her sword into the figure. Off in the near distance they could see more black-robed figures, some they saw to be infamous shamans.
"Elfaiya, it looks like we're being faced with shamans. They use the dreaded powers of the dark arts. We'll have to be careful…" Lyn frowned. Elfaiya gave a grimace.
"Well, looks like Florina will be in the lead quite a bit then."
"Wh-what?!" Florina cried in surprise. She was never put ahead of the group.
"Pegasus knights have very good resistance to magic." Replied Elfaiya smoothly. "But the others will have to be more careful. Erk, you're weaker against dark magic, but I think you'll be backing Florina up. If we only had someone who could wield light magic."
"I can!" Piped up Serra. "Eventually…" Suddenly Saint Elimine seemed to answer their pleas. For from the inn stepped out a figure clad in the robes of an Elimine bishop.
"Who are you?" Demanded Lyn.
"I am Lucius, I overheard the boy's conversation with the innkeeper. He was… disturbing. But I would like to help the boy." He answered. "I am a monk. I can help you against these shamans."
"Alright, Lucius, welcome to the team." Lyn nodded.
"I can help too!" Cried the boy, which they had found out to be named Nils.
"Can you wield a weapon?" Asked Elfaiya.
"Um, no. But I have other talents." He protested. "I'm a bard!"
"You play music?"
"My music can invigorate you in battle! Please! Give me a chance!"
"Um, all right. Get ready, everyone! Onto battle!" Elfaiya commanded. "Lucius, Florina take the lead!" Lucius's magic was quite amazing to Florina. She had only seen Erk perform anima magic, but his light magic was quite different. She wasn't sure if she was really needed afterall. He seemed to have everything under control. Not to mention after Nils played for him, he seemed revived of energy and went forward and attacked with even more force.
"Uh… Elfaiya? Are you sure you need me? Lucius seems to be doing all right without me…" Asked Florina hesitantly.
"Don't be silly! You have a pegasus! You can fly ahead and get rid of some of the enemy ahead! That way Lucius's poor Lightning book won't get completely wasted!" Elfaiya pointed at a village a ways ahead. "Here, head to that village and warn them of danger."
"Ah…. Okay." She flew to the village ahead and for her troubles she received a bottle of Pure Water. Not quite sure what to do with it, she flew back and gave it to Elfaiya.
"Oh wow! This should let the other troops get into the fray more! Hmm… only three people can use this… All right, Florina, give some of this Pure Water to Wil, Kent and Sain." The pegasus knight nodded and flew to find them. Last of all she went to Wil.
"Oh, hey Florina!" He greeted her with his usual cheery grin.
"Wil, Elfaiya told me to give this to you." She handed him the nearly empty bottle.
"Thanks." He opened the bottle and poured the contents over him. Once the water touched him, it seemed to evaporate and leave a slight aura around him. He smiled. "Now I should be a little more help! Can't let you have all the fun! Mind if I hitch a ride?" Wil asked. Florina blushed slightly.
"Um… uh… not at all… Climb on." With fewer struggles than last time Wil climbed up beside her and they flew off to where the bigger battles were taking place. While the rest of them took care of the other enemies, Elfaiya had sent Florina, Lucius, Serra and Nils to take care of the leader of this group who was a strong shaman by the name of Heintz. Soon, they took care of the leader, but with Heintz's dying words, he told them that Ninian was far from here already.
"No, Ninian!" Nils sobbed. Suddenly a serene voice spoke from the doorway of the castle.
"Is this the girl you were looking for?" A red-haired man with gentle blue eyes came through the door with a young girl, unconscious in his arms.
"Ninian!" Nils ran towards his sister as the man gently set her down. By the time Ninian woke up, the man named Eliwood they had found out, had already left. While Lyn and Elfaiya talked to Nils and Ninian, the others sat quietly, minding their idle business. Serra sat on the base of a statue, tugging at one of braids. Erk stood not to far, reading. Dorcas and Rath stood against the walls, as silent as ever. The two cavaliers talked quietly amongst themselves, while Matthew twirled his lock-pick unconsciously. Their newest recruit, Lucius, stood against a stone column also reading from one of his light magic books. Florina stood a bit further away from the others, stroking her pegasus's nose gently. She wanted some time alone to think. She was so confused about all of these feelings. Why did she get all fluttery inside at the sight of the friendly archer? Wil crouched not to far away, nervously thumbing his bow, thinking the same thing as Florina, while shooting her glances.
Soon Lyn and the others came towards them.
"Hurry and gather your things up. We're going after the men who kidnapped Ninian." They all nodded silently and quickly got up and about without a word.
FireEdge: Ah…. I got a bit lazy this chapter… not much details and I was going to add some more stuff with Lucius…
Guy: Oh well, the sooner you're done, the sooner I'm out of here!
Matthew: You're never out of here.
Guy: Oh crap…
