Lemurian 04: Hey, I'm back! Sorry for the long wait.

Tobias: Don't worry. We don't mind vacations.

Lemurian 04: I was talking to the readers.

Tobias: gazes out at the empty hall Who?

Lemurian 04: Bah. Read the disclaimer.

Tobias: Lemurian 04 STILL doesn't own anything in this story. He only owns a copy of Rekka No Ken and soon a copy of the new game too.

Lemurian 04: Thanks to CO Mel for the review! I've fixed that now. Chapter 5!


Chapter 5

Is the cure better than the illness?


The Cavaliers were standing together with Lyn, Canas, Priscilla, Alexander and Eliwood in the healers' tent. "So what have you found? " Alexander asked. "A cure? An advice? Anything! " He was a tad desperate. They had been stuck here for days now...well, it was only four, but that was far too much for the impatient tactician.

"We found the bow where we had battled two days ago. " Lowen began. "It was a strange bow, indeed. None of us could use the bow. It was like it was locked. We brought it back to camp that day and asked Hanna, Nils and Rebecca. Rebecca could affirm that this was no normal bow. It was a kind of master bow, only used for the true masters of archery. Hanna told us that the arrows could have deadly effects... "

Priscilla cut in. "But Lord Hector is not dead! " she exclaimed. "No. " Kent replied. " But it never cut deep. Therefore, the death could not occur and Lord Hector was cast into this state. There is a cure for this. But... "

Canas understood. "It has never been tried before. " he said. "It is sealed from all normal Healers because of the staff is too dangerous. " "You know what it is! " Alexander asked. "Yes. " Canas said. "It's a special Fortify-staff. It was made to raise dead but was never used. It had...certain effects. " "Like what? " Priscilla asked. "I told you this was a Fortify, right? " Canas asked. All nodded. "It can turn all around the user...dead. " Priscilla gasped. Alexander stared. Eliwood closed his eyes. "How far does it reach? " Eliwood asked. "No one knows. " Canas replied.

End of chapter.


Lemurian 04: Short chapter, sorry. Short of inspiration. Next chapter is better...I hope...
