Chapter 3: The Port of Badon
After Eliwood and his new companion Lyn set off on their journey, they stop at the port city of Badon. Lyn has been here many times, due to the fact that the city is rather close to the plains. Eliwood on the other hand, has never been to a large city before, is very busy sight seeing.
Eliwood? What's so special about this place? Lyn asks, it's just a large city.
It's just that I've never seen such a huge city before! Eliwood exclaims, All my life, I've been stuck in a small village in the middle of nowhere! This place is amazing! Just then, he notices a seagull flying over head. Oh! Wow! It's a seagull! Eliwood cries out as he chases the flying bird.
Is this guy really 18? Lyn wonders, Eliwood, I highly recommend against chasing the seagulls, because they will occasionally... But before Lyn can worn him the seagull had already given Eliwood... a .
Eliwood cries out. He steps backwards a few steps and trips and falls into a shallow part of the sea. Ugh... You should have warned me...
I tried to, but you wouldn't listen. Lyn sighs, Now, we'd better go meet a friend of mine.
A friend?
I want to see if he can assist us in protecting the Fire Core.
Eliwood replies as he climbs back onto shore, The more the merrier! Right?
Um... Right... The two head deeper into the concrete jungle, and into a rather small building.
Are you sure this is the right place? Eliwood asks, This sign says that this is the town's jail.
Lyn cries out in surprise. You know what a jail is!
Of course! What did you expect? Eliwood shouts, he then receives a strange look from Lyn and then says, Don't answer that.
I know this is the right place. Lyn replies. My friend is an officer. And it's his turn to look after the prisoners.
Ok! I can understand that! Let's go in! The two walk into the building and down a long hall and they eventually start hearing two voices from the end of the hall.
I told you that you aren't going to be allowed to leave!
Why not? I didn't do any thing wrong!
Lyn and Eliwood run down the hall until they can see the people who are talking. The people they see are a man outside of the jail, who has green hair on one side of his head, and white hair on the other. The other man in the jail cell, is a man in green armour with brown hair. He appears to be a knight.
I'm not the one who arrested you. But I do know that you were breaking the law. There for, I can not let you leave. the man with green and white hair sighs.
the knight in prison says, all I did was flirt with the princess! How can that be a crime?
Some thing in the other man's head snaps. YOU IDIOT OF A MORON! THE PRINCESS IS TO BE MARRIED TO A PROPER NOBLE! NOT A KNIGHT IN TRAINING LIKE YOU!
But... It would have been discourteous to...
SHUT UP YOU LITTLE... before the man can finish exploding on the knight. Lyn walks up to him and says.
Heath? Can I have a moment of your time? the man called Heath turns around to see the girl and calms down.
Lyn! What brings you here? Heath asks, not noticing Eliwood.
Eliwood says waving his hand. I'm the reason she came here.
Heath stares at the boy in blue armour. Lyn, who is this?
A friend of mine. Lyn pauses and then says, He is here to seek assistance in protecting the Fire Core.
The Fire Core!?!? Heath jumped in surprise. This kid has the Fire Core?
That's right. Eliwood responds, I'm Eliwood.
Heath asks, What's with the wet clothes? Eliwood takes a look at his clothes to notice that they are still wet from when he fell into the sea.
Well... Can we discuss that later? Lyn shouts, Eliwood here has the Fire Core, and we need to protect it! Heath stares at Lyn for a while, then turns to Eliwood.
The Fire Core, May I see it? Heath asks.
Eliwood says, he reaches into his pocket then notices that the stone is not there. What the--it's not here! He checks his other pocket, he does not find it there either. Darn it! It must have fallen out of my pocket when I fell into the sea!
You did what!? Lyn cries out in shock, we have to go get it!
Well, if it's dangerous, why do we just let it rest at the bottom of the sea where no one can get to it? Eliwood asks. Lyn frowns and then answers.
In case you didn't notice, the part of the sea you fell into wasn't very deep. Any one can get it there. Lyn pauses, then looks at Heath. Heath, just wait here for us until we get the Fire Core back.
Sorry, but I'm going to. I wish to see this stone as soon as possible. Heath says. Besides, if I stay here, this moron of a knight would continue to annoy me.
What do you mean a moron off a knight? the prisoner cries out, I am Sain! One of the greatest--
Bone heads of all time! Heath finishes Sain's sentence for him. Sain collapses upon hearing this comment. Well then, let's find that stone. The three of them leave the jail, leaving Sain behind to rot.
By the time Lyn, Eliwood, and Heath reach the sea, a man was standing where Eliwood had fallen. In the man's hand, the Fire Core.
I never imagined I'd find this here. the man thinks out loud, The boss will be pleased.
Stop right there! Eliwood calls to the man as he draws his rapier. Lyn catches up to Eliwood, and draws her sword.
Oh... You must be that kid who had the Fire Core in his possession. the man smiles and draws a knife, It sucks for you that you lost it, when I, Jerme, the greatest assassin my boss has ever seen!
Are you with the bandits? Eliwood asks. Jerme nods. Then give back that stone! Eliwood charges at Jerme and takes a swing with his sword. Jerme jumps over the attack and kicks off of Eliwood's head.
Jerme then heads for Lyn, who is holding an Iron sword. he cries out, his dagger ready to swing and kill Lyn.
Lyn watch out! Heath calls out. But Jerme was already ready to kill Lyn. It was a moment of silence, Jerme falls to the ground, he stabbed through the heart. Lyn is holding a different weapon, that is not her usual sword. She is holding a sword with a glowing blade. The handle is marked with strange markings. Lyn places the sword back in to it's sheath, and turns her back toward Jerme.
The... Mani... Katti...? Then... you're... Jerme coughs his last words, he then falls silently, with out another word. Lyn walks toward Eliwood who is knocked onto the ground because of Jerme and lends him a hand. Eliwood gets up, he is amazed at Lyn's new weapon.
Lyn! Are you okay? Eliwood asks as Heath runs up to her.
Yes, I'm fine. Lyn replies, Here Eliwood. Lyn hands him the Fire Core.
Eliwood says as he takes the Fire Core into his own hands.
So you really do have the Fire Core... Heath says in amazement.
Eliwood says as he turns toward him. Well, as you can see, we're constantly being attacked. Will you help us? Eliwood asks. Heath shakes his head.
I'm sorry, but I can not afford to leave this city. Heath replies. due to recent bandit attacks, I am one of the very few remaining defenders of the city.
So you can't come. Lyn says disappointedly. I see, let's get going Eliwood.
Huh? Oh, sure... Eliwood starts to follow Lyn, when Heath calls out to them.
Go to the temple of Lightning north of here. Heath calls, Go there and seek the help of Thor: the God of Thunder! Good luck.
Thanks Heath! Eliwood calls back, Lyn just mutters a few things under her breath. Let's go Lyn!
Lyn mutters.
Is... Something wrong?
Huh? No. Let's go.
Lyn and Eliwood leave the city, and head north: to the Temple of Lightning.
