Phoenix Lord Though Raquel does like the experience it is the fact the crowds are so loud that puts her off, because she prefers to watch them all fight. And I didn't know about Fiora liking Eliwood...I need to see their supports them, but...corcerning Ninian she is already (spoiler censor) my apologies but if you've beaten Eliwoods story you already know.
K-G Forever Thanks for the compliments and I will get to that in the third chapter. I am sad to say that I am not going to get much of a chance to get everyone in the second chapter. I can tell you the characters that aren't going to be in the story, Harken, and Geitz.
Ch. 2. Of Magic And Serra
Why didn't that happen to him? Sain thought sulking as the mob of girls and women ran past him. Carrying a freaked out Eliwood. All he could hear were the women gushing about Eliwood and Eliwood's frantic pleas for help.
Sain walked into the lobby to find the lovely fair lady Raquel talking to Kent and his Lady looking ill. The Lady Lyndis seemed peaked and Raquel looked more than a little flustered.
"Awha - - no, no, no! N-now is not the time for some large multi personed ceremony a-and." Raquel said hyperventilating.
"I AM NOT GOING TO BE YOUR GUINEA PIG!" Lord Hector bursted at Serra.
Lord Hector had about had it today. First with Serra demanding a pail of gems. Then the weird purple haired pegasus knight getting worked up over something then running away. Finally his best friend getting carted off by a horde of women who want to marry him.
And now this.
"Lord Hector, please, and you're not a guinea pig, you're a willing volunteer in furthering my staff usage and repidoire" Serra whined.
"But I am not willing!" Lord Hector yelled.
"Sure you are you are right - - " Serra said smiling.
"Serra, don't," Raquel ordered walking out of the arena.
"But Raquel where else am I going to get such a fine opportunity?" Serra whined.
"Get an actual guinea pig," Raquel told her losing her patience.
"But what if it is some miracle healing staff?" Serra whined.
"Fine! Excuse me a minute!" Raquel spat. Then walked off.
Raquel came back holding a baby pig. "It's a bit small to eat Raquel," Serra told Raquel blankly.
"Use it," Raquel said coldly.
"Use what?" Serra said playing with the piglet.
"The bloody staff Serra!" Raquel howled.
Serra held up the staff and said the word that activated the staff "Warpus". Suddenly a bright light shone, and Serra shut her eyes. When she opened them everyone was gone. "Warpus" Serra said without holding up the staff...
"Oh! It's a warp staff!" Serra realized. And looked around to make sure nobody saw Raquel, Lyndis, Hector, and the piglet disappear.
The piglet found itself in its pigpen. And it unsure of what happened it decided to forget about it and went straight for the slop bucket.
"What the hell!" Hector yelled as he was suddenly floating in midair and then falling into the middle of the nearby lake.
After the momentary dizziness Raquel found herself in a pile of garbage around corner from the arena. She went back to find Serra looking under boxes and in boxes for what Raquel had no idea.
"It was a warp staff Serra," Raquel told her picking an egg shell out of her hair.
"Whoo! You stink! Did anyone else land there?" Serra asked holding her nose.
"No," Raquel answered scowling.
"Uuh... Raquel?" Florina asked timidly coming out of the Arena.
"Yes?" she answered nicely.
"Where is Lady Lyndis?" Florina asked innocently.
"Uhh . . ." Raquel and Serra nervously responded in unison.
Plop. "What the --"
"Huh?" a young woman murmured when she heard another plop. Coming from the general direction of the ridiculously large pudding bowl! She stared when she realized what she was seeing.
There was a young woman with long teal hair sitting in the pudding bowl. It took some quick guessing but the lady seemed to be none other than the Lady Lyndis herself who was currently covered in chocolate pudding.
"Excuse me, could you help me out?" she said looking embarrassed.
"Sure," the young woman answered offering her hand. "My name is Daneesha."
"My name is Lyn, are you Merlinus's new assistant?" Lyn politely remarked.
"Yep, though I know my way around a sword in a pinch, and I wash clothes for free if anyone, including yourself likes," Daneesha said brimming with energy.
"Uhh . . ." Lyn responded looking at her hands and only guessing what her face and hair looked like.
"But let's get you washed up first."
Lyn managed a weak smile and let Daneesha lead her over to the lake.
Well, isn't this great, thought Lord Hector bitterly while trying to keep afloat in the middle of the lake. Another fine point on this annoying day. And only Elmine herself knew what was happening onshore. But Lord Hector knew this, once he was on dry land he was either going to murder Serra, or send her packing back to Ostia with a note to his brother explaining why.
"Do you see anybody?" Serra yelled to Raquel who was standing on the roof of a nearby building.
"I think I see Lady Lyndis, she's alright Florina," Raquel answered still peering through the telescope. "Oh shit! Florina go get Lord Hector -- NOW!"
"I - I can't," Florina answered trembling.
"Listen if you want to see Lord Hector drown because of some stupid fear Florina, I am personally going to hold you and Serra responsible! Besides if you want to thank him now's the time!" Raquel shouted slapping her pegasus's rump. "He's in the middle of the lake!"
"Why couldn't you ask Heath?" Serra asked from the ground. "Because to be honest, he's definitely gonna drown now and I won't get my jewels!"
"She's as bad as Farina," Raquel groaned from the rooftop. "Do you see him anywhere Serra! And have you no faith!"
It had to be her, didn't it? Florina whimpered inwardly as she sped to Hector's said. All Florina knew other than Serra had tried one of her staffs out was that Lady Lyndis was at the encampment and Lord Hector was in the middle of the lake.
Lady Raquel through did not seem too happy with Serra. And was really testy with her. And then she got downright scary.
Florina slowed down her pegasus when she saw a blue haired man trying to keep afloat. "Uhh . . . hey!" Florina said weakly.
Florina could almost hear Serra and Raquel yelling at her telling her to speak up. Florina took a deep shuddery breath and another that wasn't so shuddery. "HEY!" Florina yelled startling herself at the sheer volume and power she had in her voice.
Who was that? Lord Hector wondered as he turned around to find someone riding a pegasus coming to get him. Though it sounded a bit like the teal haired pegasus knight Fiora. But he knew she was back at the encampment.
It can't be money hungry Farina, because she was sick. That left the odd purple haired one that seemed scared of everything.
"Uhh, here," the purple haired girl said offering the handle of a handy javelin. "Get ready to step into the saddle shoe OK?"
To what? Hector thought as he watched her push weight down on the other end of the weapon and found himself in midair. He reached the saddle show when the javelin broke. He was falling back when the girls arm snapped out and got his arm.
Hector straightened himself out and then eased himself onto the saddle.
Florina took a deep breath to slow her furiously pounding heart then flew back to dry land.
