Chapter 2
Another day, another battle won for the Ephraim Exorcists, as they have just beaten another monster army in Hamill Canyon. Lord Ephraim decided that the group should rest and heal their wounds before they move on to Jehanna Hall to save the sacred stones before the Grado army gets their to destroy it. Most of the troops were injured from that skirmish because they met the newest monster, the Cyclops. That horrid beast injured even Franz; he got swiped across his side by its massive axe, and he was on his way to the healers tent to patch it up. When he entered the tent he also saw his brother, laying on one of the beds, with bandage around his back and waist. His brother saw him and gave him a smirk.
"Hey there Franz, I see you fought hard as well against those one-eyed beasts"
"Yes I did Forde, but why do you have such a huge bandage wrapped around you? Were you being reckless with your lance again?" asked Franz with concern in his voice.
"Well anything to impress all the ladies in the army." which earned a chuckle from Franz. "Speaking of ladies," Forde looking up and eyed his brother with a funny smile, "What's your relationship with that Amelia girl? I saw you with her last night, and she looked red and was sweating a storm. Did you bed her or something?"
"Brother!" he said with disgust. "How can you say a thing? I was just talking with her. She was red and sweating because she was practicing her lance forearm."
"Don't you mean your lance's foreplay?" replied an amused Forde. He then saw his brother with his "angry face". His cheeks all puffed and red while he glared at his brother. "Don't make face, or it will stay like that and Amelia won't find you cute anymore." As Forde was laughing, he didn't notice his brother storming out of the tent, red in embracement by that last comment.
"I'll go find myself a healer, I don't want to wait with my perverted older brother in there." As he was walking around camp, looking for any available healer, he noticed Amelia struggling with all her mightto put on a bandage on her right shoulder blade with her short arms and hands. "O what the hay, my wounds can wait."
"Are you ok Amelia? Need some help?"
"Hello their Sir Franz, you startled me their for a second. This is kind of awkward, a rival of yours is supposed to be strong enough to take a hit and take care of their own wounds with ease. I'm sorry that I'm not a good enough rival for you." She started to sniff and shed a tear as she said that last sentence.
"You should call me Franz, there is no need for formalities with your rivals. Besides everyone needs help once in awhile, so let me help you with that wound of yours." While he was tending to her bad cut on her, he could not help but feel the awkward silence in the air. "Come on Franz, think of something to talk about."
"So…um, you got a boyfriend?"
"Nice Franz, very nice indeed, you suck at this. I'll be out getting a beer, good luck at being sociable and interesting" Said his conscious. He heard a sniffle come from her,
"I'm sorry, if that's a touchy subject, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."
"No it's ok, I really do want to talk about this, and I trust you enough to share some of my feelings." Replied Amelia. "I hope he catches on to what I'm going to say"
"Back home, no one wanted to be my boyfriend, because they didn't like what I was doing. Most of the men believed that woman are not allowed to fight, so no one really got interested in me. I just hope I meet some knight approaches me, notice me and can understand that I wouldn't mind being protected, but also want to protect him."
" So, is that why you joined the army?"
"Hey! Frannie! I come back from chugging all the booze and you still didn't do anything? Read her signales right! Dear Great Dragon! You really suck at this icebreaking thing!"
"Shut up"
"Well I joined the army because I have pride in my country, and with me joining the army I could achieve my dream of being strong." "And maybe find someone to loveas well"
"There, all done. This should hold until you get to healer. If there's anything I can do to help you, please let me know. We are rivals, but that doesn't mean we can't also be friends, right? I'll see you later." As he was leaving, he could not help but feel faint. He notices his side, in a deep shade of red.
"Sorry about that Frannie, while I was I drunk, I could not feel the pain of that cut. Hope you forgive me when you come to." Was all he heard as he fell to the ground and lay there unconscious.
"O my goodness!" She then noticed that his side was starting to bleed real badly. She tore of a piece of clothing and wrapped it around his side. "He looks to heavy to carry so I have to find a healer quickly." She quickly got on her horse and hoped she would save him from bleeding to death.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here? Little drones of the queen coming back from forging food for their colony?" A purple haired mage stood in front of an anthill, staring it down, as it was the enemy. "You should have come and worship me! For I am a prodigy in the magical arts! So you must pay dearly with your lives! HAHAHAHA! EL FIRE!" If a person listened closely they could hear the little screams of the ants and pleading for their lives, as they burned to a crisp.
"LUTE! Quick I need your assistance! Franz has a bad cut and it's bleeding bad."
"Well of course you would come to me, for I am a prodi-"
"Yeah, I know already, you say that every time I meet you, now get on this horse, with your healing stave and SHUT UP with the self-praising!" Without further interruption, the duo left where Franz was left.
"Hmm, this does look bad, but there's no wound that I can't heal! O wondrous rod of healing, seal this broken man's wound with your healing light. CURA!" With those words the cut sealed up, and stopped bleeding. She then notices something weird. "You should let him rest, he lost a lot of blood, judging by these red grasses around his cut area."
"Ok, I'll take him to the healer's tent so he could rest." With the help of Lute carrying him onto her horse.
"Now back to what's important…KILLING ANIMALS!"
Back in the healer's tent, Franz was awaking from his slumber. "Man, what happened to me?"
"Beats me little brother, all I know is that Amelia girl came in with you set you here." Surprising Franz with his sudden appearance.
"Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be healed by now?"
"I volunteered to stay behind and take care of you, by the way, Amelia sends her best wishes to you and you recover quickly to join her in battle soon." Replied Forde. "So what happened out there? You let her get rough with you with the Elysian whip? I didn't know you like doing things like that little brother." Forde said this with a grin and continued to do this to Franz, and looked like he wasn't going to stop anytime soon.
"Come on body heal faster, I do not want to die of annoyance listening to my brother, questioning my relationship with Amelia."
"You heard the man guys, he wants you guys going 24/7, at 110 efficiency! WHAT! There's no such thing as a Union of Body Cells! Get back to work you lazy bums!"
"And save myself from myself."
A/N: Sorry if Forde sounds a little OOC, but he's the older right? They do that to the younger ones. And hopefully this was better than my first chapter. See yaw next chapter!
