Chapter 6
Yahn's Quest
Yahn and Lyn sat down by a rock near the river only a few miles from camp. She began to tell Yahn of what happened from her view. She told Yahn exactly of what happened in the exact order. Yahn couldn't believe his eyes when he heard the whole story. That poor girl... He thought as a question popped into his mind. "Who is Jaffar?" He asked furrowing his brow. Lyn could tell the name sounded weird to him. "Jaffar is a killer who used to be with the black fang. He also is a friend of Nino...I think.." Lyn trailed off looking up in thought. Yahn Looked down in sorrow. That poor girl... was the only thought that ran through his mind. "I will help you...Me and my army...we will help you find this Nino..." He said silently. "We know where she is...thank goodness...we have to bring 1,000,000,000 gold to the place for her safe return..." Lyn said. Yahn nodded. Then this really isn't a search is it Yahn thought. "And where do we have to bring this gold...?" Yahn asked. He never heard the term gold. Back where he was from he was used to the term Karub. He shrugged the thought off of him and followed Lyn back to the campsite.
Aurora, Kent, and Fiora sat at a neraby table discussing foreign politics. Aurora's way of life fascinated both Kent and Fiora. They sat for hours and hours just Listening to Aurora chat with them about how there way of life was extremely different from hers. Aer(pronounced Air), sat with Dorcas and Bartre chatting about their homelands. Again Aer astounded Them both with his story of his homeland. Fume was now kissing Sain. He couldn't help but kiss her back. His hand had reached her backside and she didn't seem to mind. Merie, A light blue-haired cleric in pink robes sat chatting with Serra. They were discussing how to "woo" there favorite guy. "I just love me some Ren!" Meri squealed with delight. "An I just love Erk!" Serra shouted with joy. Erk and Ren sat nearby. "Oh, brother..." They both trailed off. They looked at each other and laughed. "So you have the same problem too..." Erk said relieved. "Yep..." Ren trailed off. They were both relieved just that they had found their equal. Over by the infirmary, Eliwood sat with Princess Iana. She told him of the royalty and classes that they had in there country. Eliwood's eyes bulged, telling her that he was amazed. At the shooting range, Cheri, A girl with magenta hair and blue eyes, shot an arrow. She was accompanied by Li, an archer of her same status, he had short brown hair, and grey, endless eyes. He shot an arrow and hit the middle of the target. They were joined later by Rebecca and Wil. They chatted while they shot arrows. Over by Erk's tent. Gontra was talking to Hector about his way of skill with his axe, the demon slayer. Hector was astounded. He tried it and it was nearly impossible for him to land the attack correctly. Gontra chuckled and asked to see his skill.
All chatter ceased when Yahn and Lyn entered the campsite. Lyn was surprised to see her army in this state. Yahn on the other hand wasn't very surprised. His army always greeted him in this manner. All attention was immediately turned on the now shaking Lyn, and the calm Yahn. "My army...we're going to aid in this search for the one called Nino..." Yahn trailed off. Jaffar, hearing this leapt up. He had a look of fury on his face. He wanted to kill Yahn for saying that. He was Nino's best friend, at least that's how he put it for now. Jaffar sat down, he couldn't kill Yahn. He didn't know what Yahn was capable of. Everyone in Yahn's army cheered with joy. Lyn's Legion just looked confused. She was still shaking from the intensity of the attention that they gave her. Yahn saw this and nearly laughed. "W-what?" Lyn started. "What's so funny?" She asked, blushing. "You look like you saw a ghost..." Yahn managed to say in between snickers. Lyn blushed even more. I like it when he laughs...Lyn thought. She slapped herself mentally.
"SIR YAHN!" A voice rang out from the other side of the camp. Yahn stopped laughing and turned his attention to what was behind him. A pink-haired assassin in a black cape, ran to Yahn. "Sir Yahn..." she trailed off panting. "Slow down, catch your breath, Fen..." Yahn said sweetly. "From the west...of the camp site...cough, cough..." She managed to say through coughing. She hunched over an began coughing. Yahn Put a hand on her back and moved to his knees, bringing her with him. "Slow down, Fen. Please..." Yahn urged. "No...cough time...from the west...approaching fast...swordsman..." Fen fainted. Yahn Laid her down softly. "Ren...see to her please..." Yahn said. An arrow flew by him. Yahn drew his sword and looked westward toward the archer who had fired the arrow. He immediately backed off. A sword master took his place. "Give me the one called Yahn..." He commanded. "I am he..." Yahn said taking a step forward. Lyn looked at Yahn. He's either very brave...or very foolish... She thought as her attention went to the sword master. By his attire, she could tell he was from Sacae. Lyn didn't say a word, and just hoped for the best. "Yahn...I challenge you..." the sword master trailed off. "Yahn, I'll help..." Sai trailed off walking to his side. "No, Sai...he wants me...just me...I can handle him..." Yahn trailed off. "Are you crazy!" Lyn burst suddenly. "He's from Sacae, they're one of the best swordsman around." Yahn smiled. "Then I guess this will be a challenge worth my time then..." He trailed off. The sword master, eager to cut into Yahn, charged toward him. He swung his down sword only to have Yahn dodge. He charged toward Yahn and swung again in the same direction. Again, Yahn dodged the attack. They repeated the process for two more times. On the fifth time, Yahn countered. He use his infamous trick attack. He swung his sword in a horizontal direction toward the sword master. He dodged, giving away a vulnerable spot, exactly what Yahn wanted. He spun and slashed his sword down, cutting into the sword master's arm. He howled and took a defensive stance. Yahn lifted his sword so the top of the blade was gleaming in the sun. He then brought it to his face. He looked intent on attacking. He leapt up into the air and twirled the sword around until it looked like a dagger in his hand. Gravity helped along as he fell toward the Sword master. "Dance of death!" Yahn shouted, colliding into the ground. The sword pierced the sword master in the middle of the head. Yahn brought his sword up again, knocking the sword out of his opponent's hand. He then spun once, bring his sword across his opponents chest. Yahn Twirled his sword around , then he brought it up to him. He charged the weak Sword master and slashed horizontally, cutting deeper into the same wound. The Sword master fell over dead. Yahn picked up his sword and sheathed it.
"That was weak..." Yahn turned to Lyn. "I thought you said they were the best swordsman around..." He turns his head to stare at the dead Sword master. "This guy...he wasn't even aware of my tactical plan...Mind over matter triumphs again..." Yahn sighed. As he walked over to Fen who was currently laying in the grass. Ren moved a staff over her slowly. "She doesn't seem to be recovering quickly..." Ren trailed off. "What was in that arrow?" Yahn asked. "Some kind of poison...none of which I've ever seen..." Ren trailed off. He put the staff down and picked up another. He moved it slowly over the motionless Fen. Yahn looked up. "Fen..."
Niime sat inside Matthew's tent, unaware of what happened. He had called her to talk to her about something. Niime didn't really like the guy, but she was curious about what he wanted to tell her. After a moment of silence, Matthew reappeared. Niime looked at his attire and nearly screamed. Matthew was in nothing but his underwear. Finally got ya'... he thought as he moved closer to the frightened girl. "W-what are you doing?" She said rather quickly. "I Figured since you looked so beautiful...I wanted to...get busy..." Matthew trailed in a seductive voice. His voice then brightened to a surprise kind of voice. "With the training..." he finished with a dumb smile on his face. Niime just stared at the barely naked thief. "In your boxers!" she shouted. Matthew looked down to see that he was still not dress. He grabbed a pair of pants. Niime closed her eyes as the man put on his trousers. "I'm going to find Yahn now..." She said, getting up. Niime walked out of the tent. Matthew watched her figure retreat toward Yahn. I love that woman...he thought. Wouldn't that be cheating on Leila? His mind question. He thought for a moment. He shrugged. Oh well... was his last thought.
Yahn sat by Fen, cradling her motionless form. I can't lose you, Fen... We've been separated for so long... he thought as his mind went into flashback mode.
Flashback
Yahn lifted the treasure chest open to find 10,000 Karubs. He squealed with joy at his find. The army's funds were extremely low. He wished that they could be higher. Yahn took a bag and gather the money, one Karub at a time. He turned around to leave when he saw a feminine figure run past him. He still had his money luckily. He looked over to see if the sack was gone. It wasn't. But instead of it being stolen, Yahn's sack felt heavier. It got hard for him to carry.
hours later
Yahns army had finished yet another battle. Yahn felt curious about that girl. He searched the castle. He found no one there he didn't know. HE was about to exit the castle when he heard a familiar voice call his name. "Yahn..." the voice trailed off. He turned around to see Fen. "Fen...Fen, is that you?" Yahn asked. She nodded and hugged him. "I haven't seen you in a long time...old friend..." Yahn trailed off. "It's good to see you alive and well in the brink of this war..." fen replied squeezing tight...
Back to reality
Yahn held Fen's head to his chest. He cradled her as if he were trying to bring her back to life. He felt a small ounce of movement. "Fen?" Yahn said he looked down at the motionless girl. She coughed twice before speaking, she looked up at Yahn. Her eyes were filled with overflowing tears. "Yahn..." She said weakly. "Am I going...to die?" She finished before she coughed. Yahn felt an unstoppable pain. It tore his gut limb from limb. His eyes began to get watery. "No...No, Fen..." He replied. "You'll be fine...you won't die..." Yahn said he hugged her tight. He was unaware that the camp was watching.Lyn saw this and stayed silent. It takes guts for a man to cry openly... Lyn thought. He really cares about her... Lyn thought again. "There's nothing I can do..." Ren trailed off. "Then I really am going to die..."she trailed off. "No. Fen, I won't lose you..." Yahn said. Tears started tumbling down his cheek. " No, Yahn...I've been waiting for this day...I have no regrets..." She started. "Good bye Ya...Ya..." She trailed off as her eyes shut. Her hands fell to the ground. Yahn nodded, and set her down. He stood up, his face was still stuck on her wound. "Good bye..." He said. His mind was filled with sorrow and remorse. Soon after a fiery burst of rage and fury took over his body. His flow of tears stopped. He turned on his foot and ran toward the camp. He past Lyn without giving her a glance. "Aurora...Take over..." Yahn shouted. "Where are you going?" Aurora yelled. Yahn stopped. He looked down. "To avenge the death of my best friend..." Yahn replied. He took off. Lyn tried to stop him but Ren cut her off. "Let him go..." Ren said. Lyn looked his way. "Yahn and Fen were practically family. They knew each other's darkest secret. That certain thing that made them so special...now that she's gone...he's turned..." Ren trailed off. "Turned?" Lyn asked. "He's heading toward Sacan...or whatever it was..." "SACAE!" Lyn cut him off. "Why!" she shouted. "He's going on a search for the archer that shot her...Knowing Yahn's great speed and tactics...he will find him...one way or another. I was there when he promised to stay by her side until the day they died. Yahn's going to avenge the death of not only his best friend, he's going to avenge the death of his close relative..." Ren finished. Lyn looked down. "Shall we go find this Nino...?" Aurora said trying to break the sudden silence that took over the camp. "Yes...let's find her..." Lyn said. She noticed they were already packed up. Lyn turned and started to walk in the direction of bern. "We'll need the money..." Eliwood said, letting the confused member's know why they were heading in that direction. Ren caught up with Lyn, who was looking down at the ground. "Don't worry...Yahn has survived many sorrows alone...he'll be fine..." Ren said.
"For the sake of his life...I hope your right..." Was Lyn's last words.
