The Two Swordmasters
Chapter III
"Aahh!" Lyn screamed as she stood there watching the axeman.
All of a sudden, an arrow shot from somewhere and hit the axeman in the back of his throat. He collapsed there. Instant death. Lyn saw the figure who shot the arrow.
"Jullian!" Lyn shouted.
"Lyn! Not now! There... are still... bandits... Go!" The shot made his arm worse.
Lyn and the others went on fighting the men. Meanwhile, in the hospital, Jordan woke up from the noise.
"Jullian... What's going on out there? I heard screaming and shouting from the other room... it's annoying."
"Jordan? What happened to your arm?" Jullian walked to his brother while holding his arm from the pain. He saw his brother's wounds really bleeding.
"It's... nothing. But what's happening?" Jordan walked to the window when Jullian said nothing. "... Those men... "
"Jordan..." Jullian knew they were the same men days ago. The same men who caused blood. The same men who nearly killed the brothers.
"I'm going back to my room." With that, he just walked away.
After a half hour of fighting, the reinforcements retreated and the village was safe... for now. After the battle, Lyn quickly ran to the hospital to see the man who saved her life. She saw him resting. While he slept, she changed the bandages again. She saw the wound, and she knew it was getting better, but it still bled once in awhile.
After checking on Jullian, she went to Jordan's room. He too was sleeping. She noticed something. Jordan's arm looked really messed up. She didn't really notice it before, but his arm was turning blue-ish black. When she saw that, she ran to the nurse. The nurse went upstairs and saw something she didn't notice before. She couldn't tell what it was, so she sent word to Ostia. There's a doctor there who should know. She noted it was an emergency.
An hour or two later, the doctor came with a Pegasi. He went to the hospital and examined Jordan's arm.
"Oh no... no, no, no..." The doctor had a really dismal face.
The nurse from downstairs heard the doctor. She quickly ran up to see what happened. "What's wrong, doctor?"
"It looks like he is poisoned. The poison seems to travel through the blood. But..." The doctor stopped. "... it looks bad. I don't think he will live for another month. By next full moon, he's...gone..."
"...! Isn't there anything we can do?!" The nurse started to really worry. She gotten... quite fond of Jordan for the past days.
"Unfortunately, the poison mixed in with lots of his blood. Which means we will need a lot of antidote. There is one, but we will need a lot, and the ingredients are rare. There is still a chance. The problem is, one of the ingredients, Mountain Rose, is found high in mountains, in bandit territory. Not only will we have to fight, we will have to get through armies, and it's hard enough for two people to climb a mountain, but 100?!"
"..." The nurse left the room without talking. She told her assistant to tell Lyn of the poison.
Lyn told Guy who told Rath who told a messenger who gave a message to House Ostia who sent word to Pherae. When Eliwood heard of the problem, he sent two spies to gather information about mountain bandits. After two days, they returned.
"My liege, we have found info about a group of mountain bandits," said the first spy.
"Yes, my liege. They are a group called 'The Dark'" said the other one.
"'The Dark', eh? Ok then, you may leave."
Eliwood sent word to his old friend, Marquess Hector who responded back. Hector mentioned "The Dark" ambushing travellers. Eliwood then sent word to nearby castles, houses, and provinces about the bandits. He also told them to strengthen trade routes and rest areas.
Meanwhile, in Lyn's village, Jullian wakes up after sleeping for hours. He noticed his arm stopped bleeding and it didn't hurt as much. He first went to his brother's room only to find his condition worsen.
Jordan's arm was blueish, black like it's been bruised many times. Jullian had a feeling this wasn't right. He ran down to find the nurse. The nurse sadly told him his brother's condition. Jullian nearly cried when he heard. He already lost his parents. His brother was his only family left. He ran outside and cried in an alley. He knew he had to find the antidote. But he also knew he couldn't do it alone. After like an hour, he stopped weeping and walked down the streets. Lyn saw him walking when he passed her house.
"Jullian! Your arm looks ok... what's wrong? Why is your eyes red?"
"..." Jullian was just quiet.
"Oh no... you heard about your... brother? I'm so sorry."
"... It's not your fault... but... there's still... the antidote." Jullian knew he had to find the ingredients no matter what.
"Jullian... I... want to help," Lyn said.
Jullian was surprised to hear a stranger offer something like that. He knew she'd be risking her life. "Lyn..."
"Jullian... I want to help you. I've made up my mind. Guy also said he'd go with us. And some of my other friends. We will leave tomorrow morning. We made up our minds, and we are not backing down."
"Lyn... Thank you!" He ran up to her and hugged her really tightly while a tear ran down his cheeks.
"Anything for... you..." Lyn said quietly, almost a whisper.
Lyn just looked to his eyes, while his looked into hers. Lyn really thought he would be the one.
