Author's Note: Sorry chapter 4 is taking so long. I accidentally deleted the folder with Chapter 4 in it, so I had to rewrite it over. Ok, that's it.

Two Swordmasters

Part IIII

The next morning, Lyn, Jullian, Guy, Rebecca, Heath, Erk, and Farina set off for the mountains. After getting to know each other, they went south for the mountains with Farina and Heath taking the lead from the skies and Jullian taking the lead from the ground.

"I better get paid good for this!" Farina shouted from above.

"You're saving a life... isn't that good enough?" Heath asked as he swooped down to check on the others. "How's everyone?"

"Don't worry, were ok," Guy replied.

"So, Rebecca... how's you and Wil?" Lyn asked the archer.

"Well, Wil and I are fighting again."

"Again? What happened?"

"I refused sex for just one night, and he's all saying I don't love him... Pretty dramatic."

"Haha." Lyn laughed.

All of a sudden a figure started running up to the group. It was one of the villagers in the Lorca Tribe.

"Erick? What's going on?" Lyn questioned.

"We have news from an Ostian spy. He said a group of brigands will attack us back at the village!"

"what?!" Lyn started thinking what to do.

"He said there will be many." Erick added.

Seeing the conversation, Farina and Heath landed next to the group.

"What's going on?" Farina asked.

"We have a change in plans." Lyn started thinking. "Farina, Heath, and Guy, go back to the tribe. Protect the village. Me, Jullian, Rebecca, and Erk will go ahead."

"Will you be ok without a flier, Lady Lyn?" Heath asked.

"We'll be ok. And we went over this; just call me Lyn..."

"Lyn... We should go," Erk suggested.

"Yeah. Take care you four... because with out you, who will pay me?!" Farina joked before she flew to the tribe.

"Be careful, Lyn," Guy and Heath said at the same time.

Jullian looked at the sky. "Looks like it's a little after noon. We should go."

The four continued up the mountain base. They travelled until evening worrying about the village. But they knew Heath and them should be able to handle them. They made camp in a cave when it got dark. That midnight, Lyn noticed Jullian awake.

"Jullian?" Lyn walked to the man she thinks she loves.

"Lyn..." Jullian whispered. "Do you think we will make it?"

"Hey... if we could win against a dragon, we can win against a group of brigands," Lyn smiled.

"..." Jullian just looked at the moon. It was hardly showing its crescent shape. "I'll go to sleep now."

"Yeah, you should. We have a long day tomorrow," Lyn said as she walked to her makeshift bed.

"Good night..." Jullian whispered.

"Good night, too..." Lyn replied in a quiet voice.

The next morning, they had a small breakfast and continued up the mountain. They were attacked by some bandits, but they weren't much.

Around noon, the mountain path plit into two. One was to the eastern path of the mountain, and the other was to the western side. From a spy, Lyn was told the eastern path was safer, but it took much longer. The western path, however, was shorter, but it was where most of the bandit camps were. With only four people, they decided to go to eastern path.

For days, they've been scaling the mountain. By the first week, they've scaled half the mountain. The eastern path went around the whole mountain, so it seemed like they were going around in circles, while the western path went straight up the mountain.

That night, Jullian looked up the sky and saw the moon. It was 1/4 lit. He knew they had about 3 weeks left, and with their progress, they might not make it.

"Jullian... are you ok?" Lyn sat next to Jullian with her head resting on his shoulder.

"No... I mean, with my brother and all," he replied.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. But don't worry, we will make it," Lyn said back.

For a few mintues, the two just sat like that, looking down the mountain. They looked at the stars and the moon. After a while, Lyn fell asleep on Jullian's shoulder. Jullian didn't want to wake her up, so he just stayed like that for a while. Meanwhile, Rebecca wanted to spy on them.

"C'mon Erk!"

"Rebecca... do we have to? No, do iI/i have to?" Erk protested.

"Oh, come on!" Rebecc started draggin Erk.

"...ugh..." Erk grunted.

"Shhh..."

Rebecca and Erk hid behind a rock while they watched Lyn and Jullian sitting together.

"Awww..." Rebecca said quietly.

"Well, they do look good together."

After a few minutes of watching, Rebecca got tired of watching.

"I'll sleep. This is boring." With that, she left to her makeshift room in a little cave near the path.

Before Jullian slept, he carried Lyn to her bed and went to sleep in his own.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning, Rebecca and Lyn looked for food in the only part of the mountain with fruit trees.

"Ooh! Apples!" Rebecca ran to the apple tree and got some fruit and put in her basket.

"Haha, Rebecca." Lyn also got some apples.

"Um, Lyn," Rebecca hesistated, "do you... like Jullian?"

"Yeah... as friend. Just as a friend... I think."

"Sure... and you two weren't getting 'cuddly' last night."

"Rebecca! We were just talking!"

"Uh-huh, right, sure... Oh, c'mon Lyn. I can see love."

"...You think?"

"Hey, who told you Eliwood had a thing for Ninian? Huh? And who told you Hector had a thing for Florina?"

"Oh, the same person who made me had a fight with my best friend for a week!"

"Oh, yeah... Well, I knew they would fall for each other."

"I guess..."

"And with you and Jullian, yeah, I can see love. You two looked so good together last night with you on his shoulder, and when he carried you to your bed last night?"

"Yea-- wait!" Lyn just thought of something. "How would you know?! Were you spying on us?!"

"Uh... Gotta go!" Rebecca laughed and ran back to their camp.

"Ugh... Rebecca. Always gossiping..." Lyn was about to get angry, but she just laughed and ran with their food.

That's it. Sorry it took so long. Well there. Chapter 5 should be up in a week or two.
