Lemurian 04: Here we go again.

Tobias: You said that last time too.

Lemurian 04: No I didn't. Thanks to FootLeeismysexysensei and Macross-Green for the review.

Tobias: Chapter 2 is beginning. If you are lucky, it won't be as boring like the last.

Chapter 2

Snipe attack!

The legion had left their camp. The quiet morning embraced the group as they walked towards Ostia. The battle yesterday was finished. That had resulted in the death of the remaining Fang, Lloyd. Because of the loss of their old friend, Nino, Legault and Jaffar were walking last in the long line.

In the front lines, the light swordsmen were travelling. Guy, Raven, Karel, Matthew and Lyn were walking. The silence was deaphning. Noone uttered a word and even the light foot-steps of the Paladins made a terrible noice in this morning. The cold wind blew at them from behind as if it wanted to get rid of them quickly.

Guy didn't mind the wind. At least, it was keeping him from thinking on her. No, he didn't want to think of it. The thought had entered his mind in the night and wasn't letting him forget it. She had been so happy, the last time he had seen him. She had smiled as Guy telled her about the surprise. She had smiled like an angel. Guy remembered that he smiled that day too.

Raven looked at the myrmidon in the corner of his eye. He was in deap thought, that guy. He was clearly remebering something. Raven shook the thought of Guy out of his mind. The memory of the caotic night for so many years ago had awoken in his head. His mother, father and his dear sister had all been removed from him. He closed his eyes, like he tried to stop his thoughts.

Lyn was walking first in line. She had a concerned look on her face as she thought of Nino. She had watched the good friend of her die in a battle because of her false mother. Lyn clenched her fist when she remembered Sonia. She had watched all the Fangs follow her order to kill or be killed. She had destroyed the honourable assasin-guild and make the do as she said by manipulating Brendan Reed. Nergal had done so much wrong in this world and now, he was going to pay.

Matthew watched the swordsmen walk silent. They had their problems to think of, clearly. Matthew almost wished he had something to think of himself. The death of Lloyd had made him think of Leila again and with her killer walking just some meters away, he was overwhelmed by sorrow. He turned his head to try to think of something else. Wait. There was a movement. Something was in those bushes. He began to walk faster and caught up with lady Lyndis.

" My lady, someone is following us. " he whispered to her. " I know. " she replied. " It has followed us from the battle. " " Shall I warn lord Eliwood and lord Hector? " he asked. " Yes, hurry. " she repiled. Matthew stopped and started to walk slower and stopped Eliwood and Hector. " My lords, someone is following us. " he warned, quiet. " Good. " Eliwood said in a calm voice. " Tell the archers to walk up behind the swrodsmen and the axewielders to go in front. Tell the paladines to walk on the side of the swordsmen and the sages to walk in front of the Archers. " " Yes, sir. " Matthew replied. " And tell the generals to stay guard on the end. " Hector added. " Yes, of course. " Matthew slowed down, and met the fighters. " Dorcas, Bartre, Geitz and Dart. You have to walk up in the lead. Someone is following us. " he explained. " Yes. " Dorcas said and they started to walk faster. Matthew stopped the archers.

" Archers, walk faster and meet up behind the swordsmen. Someone is following us. " he said. " Okay. " Wil said serious. " Come Rebecca. " Matthew waited for the magicians. " Canas, you and you others, guard the archers. Something is happening. " he explained again. Then a voice appeared behind him. It was Aleksander, the tactician. " What is happening? " he asked in a demanding tone.

" We are beeing followed, sir. " Matthew said. " The lords has told me to carry out orders to the others. " " I see. " Aleksander said, seriously. " I will go and meet up with the lords. " He started to walk faster. Then, finally, Matthew reached the generals. " My good sirs, battle is ahead. You have to stay guard in the back when they attack. " he commanded. " I see. " Wallace said. " We will do our duty. "

Then the gentle sound of a horse appeared behind Matthew. It was Marcus, the paladin master. " What is happening? " he asked in the same tone as the tactician. " Battle is ahead, sir. " Matthew explained once again. " Tell the paladines to cover the flanks in the front. " " I will do that. " Marcus said and rode off.

The three former Black Fangs reached Matthew. " What are our orders? " Legault asked. " Reach up with your group in the front if you want to fight. " " We will. " Nino said. She was no longer a child. She was a serious battler now. She was determined and with Jaffar at her side, she felt as she could do anything.

Matthew caught up with the front again. All had been done like the lords had commanded and the tactician was planning important details for the battle. Merlinus' carriage was brought under the guard of the Falcoknights and Wywern Lords. All was ready. But, nothing happened. The silence cloaked the group. It all seamed like a false alarm. Until an arrow hit Hector in the shoulder.

End of chapter.
