Lemurian 04: Okay, here we go again.
Tobias: What a surprise!
Lemurian 04: Thanks to FootLeeismysexysensei for the review and yes, I in fact can speak Scandinavian.
Tobias: Disclamer! Lemurian 04 doesn't own Fire Emblem but he own his minor characters.
Silent Nights
Chapter 3. Dead or alive
Hector opened his eyes. He was on a green field, all alone. He turned his head. Nobody. Not a soul in sight. The last thing he could remember was that he had stood there with the others, something about an ambush. He had heard a strange sound, like something flying past him. Or to him.
There! A flash, like of fire. He started to walk towards it. The flash reappeared. He walked faster. A colour spread across the sky. Red, crimson. He walked faster. The armour was too heavy for him to run in. A new flash. This time from the side. He turned and walked that way. He stopped and looked around him. All looked the same like when he had started to walk. He hadn't moved a bit.
He sat down on the ground. Thinking. Then, a trembling. Like an earthquake. He rose up. He looked down. The ground, it was cracking. A hole grew up from the cracks. He started to run. He had to get away. He looked down while he ran. No, he wasn't moving. A hole opened wide enough to take a horse. Hector tried to stay on the edge, but it was too late. He was falling. Down, down towards the bottom. He looked down. There was no sign of any bottom, just darkness. "No! " He screamed, but no sound escaped from his lips. "Help! " Still quiet. He fell. Fell into the darkness.
"Milord. Milord! " Matthew shouted and rustled Hector. The snipers were killed. None had escaped. The healers had closed his wound and burned the arrow. He should be in perfect shape now, but still, Hector hadn't shown any signs of waking. A rustle from the tent-door. Oswin walked in. "Is he waking? " he asked. Matthew sighed. "No, unfortunately. " he said. Priscilla entered. "You have to go. " she said to the General and the Thief. " Lord Mark wants to see you. " Matthew sighed again. " Looks like we have to go, Oswin. " he said. " Yes. You are right. " he replied. They walked out of the tent.
On one of the benches by the camp-fire, Lyn and Farina was sitting. Lyn was gazing into the flames, thinking. She had to eat something. Her food wasn't touched but she had no appetite. Farina gave up. He took the plate and walked away. Lyn's thoughts were circling around, she couldn't focus. She rose up from the ground and began walking in the direction of the nursery-tent. She entered. Oswin and Matthew passed her in the door and she sat down beside of the bed. His face-colour had returned, the pulse was normal but still, he wasn't waking up. Priscilla left. She had to check up on Wil's cut. Lyn took Hectors hand and waited for him to wake up. He had to. He just had to.
In the main-tent, Mark was standing with Fiora, Oswin, Matthew, Florina, Serra and Erk. He had summoned all of the ones who wasn't hurt and didn't have too much to do. Still, they were missing someone. Marcus was not there, neither was Priscilla. They were busy at the moment, according to Raven and Lowen. Marcus had been given all of Hectors orders and Priscilla was needed for the wounded. He turned to those who had come. Karel had just entered. The silent Swordmaster was as emotionless as ever. He could almost compete with Jaffar there. " Good. " Mark finally said as Bartre and Dorcas entered. " You're all here. I have to ask you of a special thing. "
Lyn was still sitting there, holding his hand. " Wake up. " she said, praying. " Please, wake up! " But Hector didn't move. Like he was dead.
