Two Swordmasters
Chapter 2
"I got everything... My swords, mom's bow, and dad's blade sheath... It's been so long, but now I'm leaving..." Jullian said as he got his pack ready to leave.
After the raid, Jullian was left alone with his older brother, Jordan. A band of bandits attacked their village in an ambush. They were in large numbers and the village's army was not strong enough. The two brothers were lucky enough to hide in all the chaos. Their parents, however, weren't so lucky.
Jullian and Jordan woke up the next day to find 3/4 of their mountain village, Airtithin, burnt, and more than half the people dead. After the funerals, Jordan taught Jullian sword fighting. Jordan, five years older than Jullian, protected Jullian and the remaining people well. Their village grew after a few years and he and Jullian decided to leave. The small army was strong enough to drive away bandits that tried to attack again. In three years, the village was fully reconstructed
and lived in peace.
Jordan, now 21, wanted to leave Airithin. Jullian begged to come along, too, but Jordan didn't want him to. But after a while, Jordan gave in and let his little brother go. Now here they are leaving to who knows where.
"Jordan... Where are we going next?"
"Well, Jullian, we have many places to go. We can go north to the Sacae plains. I heard news of the Lorca Tribe."
"You mean the one that was destroyed a few years ago?"
"Yes. A girl named Lyn and some of her friends reconstructed the old village."
"You don't mean Lady Lyn of Caelin?"
"What? How'd you know?" Jordan was surprised Jullian knew of her.
"It's not like I don't hear you talking to Garren about these things."
"Haha." Jordan started smilling. "Garren was right. You were eavesdropping."
"Maybe I could be a spy like Garren!" Jullian started smiling too.
"Maybe... or you could be like Dad. One of the best swordmasters of the mountains."
Jullian's smile turned to a frown. "I miss Dad and Mom."
"Me too..." There was a little silence. "But that's the past. All we have now to look into is the future, so let's go. Did you say your farewells already?"
"Yeah..." Jullian took one more glance at Airithin.
"Lorca should be a week away from here. Let's go."
"Yes, let's..."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After four days of travelling, Lyn made it back to Lorca.
"Lyn..."
"Rath..."
After the whole break up thing, Lyn and Rath pretty much stopped talking.
"Oh, Guy!" Lyn waved at Guy.
"Lyn!" Guy ran up to the girl. "I'm glad you're here! I've got big news!"
"What, what, what?!"
"Lady Florina and Marquess Hector are having a baby!"
"Really? Wow! Oh my God! How'd you know? I was just at Ostia a few days ago."
"Lady Florina found out just yesterday. She personally sent Matthew here to tell us."
"Matthew? Is he still here?" Lyn started wondering. 'Hmmm... I wonder if Matthew is still free...'
"Err, he had to go. He had some "job" to do."
"Oh..." 'Damnit...'
After the conversation, Lyn went back to her house and started thinking if she'll ever find love. She always hears how beautiful she is, but she never finds the right guy, and when she does, he gets taken by some dragon or by her best friend, or they have great sex and break up...
After a few days, Lyn hears of two travellers ambushed by a group of bandits from the south. When she heard that, she and Guy runs south to where the ambush was supposed to be. When they got there, they see the plains flooded with blood and a heap of dead corpses.
They search around and found two wounded sword users. They looked badly wounded from the battle. They was nearly dead. A few minutes later, two familiar Paladins come through the site.
"Sain! Kent!" Lyn shouted.
"Ahh... The beautiful Lady Lyndis. You look--" Sain got interrupted by the other Paladin.
Kent punched Sain. "Sain, no time for that."
"Help us bring this two back to Lyn's village." Guy carried one of the men to Sain and the other to Kent.
"Go quickly, Sain, Kent." Lyn told them a shortcut back to her village. "... These bandits. They look new. I wonder where they came from?"
"Lyn, I'll go to Castle Ostia. I'll tell Hector to investigate this."
"Good idea, Guy. Tell Hector to tell Pherae as well. I'll warn the Kutolans and the Lorcans about the bandits. Hmm...."
"What's wrong, Lyn?"
"Those two men... How did they manage to beat all those bandits. They were strong..." 'And handsome' Lyn thought. "Well, let's go, Guy."
"Yes."
*~*~*~*~*~*
The next morning, Guy race through the secret, underground tunnel to Casle Ostia to tell Marquess Ostia about the ambush. Hector sent riders to scout the area. He also sent word to Castle Caelin. The steward, Lord Harrison, also scouted the northern Sacaen Plains.
Meanwhile, in Lorca, the two men were recovering slowly. Lyn walked to the younger man's room to see him one more time.
'Oh, my God... He is so damn hot.' Lyn thought this might be the guy for her.
A moan came from the young man. "Oohhh... Where... am... I...?" He slightly opened his eyes, and then it remained closed for awhile. 'Was that... an angel I just saw? Oohh... I must be dreaming. Or am I in heaven. Ohhh...'
"Your here, in the Lorca Tribe of Sacae." The "angel" replied.
"Lorca? Br... Where's... cough, cough... my broth...er?"
"He's in the other room. Don't worry. Just rest." Lyn smiled and walked out from the room. 'He looks good even in that condition.'
The next few days, the two men rested while the nurses took care of them. Once in awhile, Lyn would go check up on the younger one. One week after the ambush, Guy receives information from House Ostia.
"Lady Lyn!"
"Yea, Guy?"
"House Ostia has found information about the bandits. They're in an organization called 'The Dark.' They go around ambushing travellers."
"I see. Guy, does Pharae know anything of this?"
"Yes, Hector told Eliwood everything. Oh! Which reminds me! Ninian is pregnant as well!"
"Really?! Oh that's wonderful! Now only if I..." Lyn started thinking.
"Err, Lady Lyn?"
"Huh? Oh... I'm ok. How about Castle Santaruz, and the others? How about Bern?"
"Santaruz and Bern decided to not have a part of this. And news spread out to everywhere else."
Lyn started thinking of something. "Guy, where's Rath?"
"Uh... I thought you stopped talking to him. After the... you know..."
"Hehe... Yea, but I'll make an exception for now. It's important."
"Ok then." Guy runs off to find Rath. He finds him in the stables.
"Rath. Lyn wants to talk to you."
Rath was surprised but his expression didn't really show it. "... She does?..."
"I know how you feel. I was surprised as well, but she says it's important."
"Ok then." Rath walks out of the stable to find the girl he broke up with months ago.
Rath goes up and down the village to find Lyn. He finds her in the hospital.
"You called?" He walked up to her.
"Rath... I want to make this short. The two travellers, are they from Kutolah?"
"No, their attire looks like their from the mountains, but I don't know any mountain villages here."
"Mountain villages are usually well hidden, right?"
"Yeah, usually."
"Ok... that's all."
"Um, Lyn..." Rath was about to say something then caught himself.
"Yea?"
"...never mind..." Rath just walked away to his house.
'That was strange.' Lyn thought as she walked to her house.
*~*~*~*~*~*
The next morning, Lyn went to the hospital to check up on the two men. As she walked to the room of the younger man, she was surprised to see him on his feet looking out the window.
"I'm glad to see you up... Jullian?" Lyn walked up to him. 'He looks even better now.'
"Huh?" The young man turned around. "How'd you know my name?" 'I-It's the angel!'
"From a... source. Oh, by the way, I'm Lyn."
"L-Lyn of Caelin?"
"I've been called that. But I'm of Sacae, my true hometown."
"Oh." 'She's the most beautiful Sacaen I've ever seen.'
They talked awhile and told their story.
"Oh, you poor thing, your parents died when you were just 11? That must have been hard."
"It was, but my brother always protected me."
"Oh, I see."
"Oohhh... This cut." He put his hand on his deep wound.
"You were wounded badly from the ambush. Here, let me change it for you." Lyn got some clean bandages and a wet towel. She took the old bloody bandages, cleaned the area of the cut, and wrapped the new bandages. "Better?"
Jullian smiled. "Much."
After talking for an hour, Jullian said he felt dizzy.
"You should rest, Jullian. Give a day or two for you wounds. I'll check up on you in an hour. Ok?"
"I'd like that... Oohh..." Jullian groaned as a he went to bed to lie down again.
After that, Lyn left the hospital and went to her room. She kept thinking if this Jullian was right for her. She started sleeping only to wake up to the sound of men shouting.
"What the hell is going on now..."
"Lyn! Lyn! Bandits have attacked!" Guy shouted from outside trying to ward off the bandits.
"What? What? Oh, no... Jullian." She got her Mani Katti and raced to the hospital.
When she got there, she saw the whole place rampaged. She runs upstairs to see three men going inside Jullian and Jordan's room.
"Stop! What the hell do you think you are doing?"
"Grr! You girl! Get out! This doesn't concern you!" The first man said.
"Yes it does. If you think of touching any of them, you'll get it!"
"Hahaha fiesty little girl. You two go kill the wounded. I'll take care of this one." The second man said as he walked to Lyn with his axe.
With that, Lyn ran to him with her sword and sliced off his arm. He cries in pain as he bled to death. When the other two men heard a fellow bandit die, they run off like cowards.
"Jullian... Jullian? Are you ok?" Lyn asked.
"Huh? Oh, Lyn. What's going on. I heard a man scream... Oohhh... And why do you have blood on your clothes?"
"There's been an attack. Those three men were about to... kill you and your brother."
"What?! An attack?"
"Don't worry though. We'll take care of it. Just rest." Lyn said as she heard more screams from outside. "Stay here. Don't even think of fighting."
"Unhh..."
Lyn runs outside to see the streets stained with blood. Everything is a mess one was burnt down, while the other houses look like there was just an earthquake. She sees Guy killing all the bandits in sight, while Rath goes up the streets shooting the bad men.
"Lyn!" A voice shouted.
Lyn turns around to see an axe user about to slice her.
