Me: I UPDATED!! And all my muses are staring out at the first snow of the season, so tghey won't be here. Anyway, HERE'S CH.9!!!!

Third person POV

The tactician opened her eyes and looked around confusedly. The ground was cold, wet, and soft. The walls were lit with torches, and there were worms everywhere. But she could only see 3 feet in front of her and in those 3 feet was a myrmidon. He looked awfully familiar....

"Guy?"

"Huh?" the myrmidon looked up. The tactician smiled.

"What are you doing here?"

"The stupid bandits captured me. I guess they did you too. Hey, what happened to your shoulder?"

The tactician felt her shoulder and saw that it was still soaked with blood. She ran her hand across it nervously.

"Uhhhhhhhhh.....yeah."

"Yeah what?" Guy raised an eyebrow. He smirked at the young tactician slyly.

"I got hit by an arrow, okay??"

Guy just started laughing.

"What??" the tactician yelled angrily. Guy stopped laughing.

"Hehe...Nothing, sorry."

Back at camp

Lyn panted as she struck a bandit with the Mani Katti. "I need soem water," she said to herself. She walked into what she thought was her tent. She sifted through "her" pack and pulled out a small bottle of pink liquid.

"I must have purchased this by mistake yesterday," She muttered. "Oh well. It's here, and it looks good...." she drank the bottle in about 2 downs, she was so thirsty.

On the field

Sain slahed at a mage with his lance and swerved his head around to see none other than Lyn approaching. He gulped nervously and went back to killing as if he didn't do anything.

He shifted his eyes and got a better glimpse of her face. She had a dreamy twinkle in her eye and a small smile on her face. When she reached Sain, she sighed and leaned on his shoulder, one reason because she had a huge bloody slash going down her body, and second was because....

...She drank the potion.

"Ummm...milady?" Sain asked nervously. "Are....you alright?"

"Yes Sain," she replied dreamily. "I am now that I am around you."

Sain smiled. I like this, he thought.

Underground

The tactician was attempting to build a fire. She didn't realize it was waaaaay too damp to build a fire. Guy was watching her with a confused look. Then the tactician realized something.

"If they're not here, can't we just leave?" she asked.

"Actually, if you look carefully, you can see an assassin gurading thre tunnel down there," Guy pointed out.

"Well, that's bullcrap!"

"SO, what's your idea?"

The tactician got an idea.

"Guy."

"What?"

"Give me your sword."

"Why???"

"Because," the tactician replied with a smirk, "we're going to tunnel our way out of here."

Me: GASP! What will happen to the tactician and Guy??

Erk: They're just going to----

Me: SHUT UP ERK!!! --Shuts him up--

Erk: ....
