Lyn Chapter 1: Footsteps of Fate.
"Wow. I've been away from the plains for so long, I didn't remember that the place was this busy," said Hiro in his awe. "Let's get some supplies here, and go to a healer. My good leg is dying from all this hopping." Lyn giggled at this remark. "You're evil, you know that?" Lyn giggled again. Hiro sighed, and continued hopping while Lyn follows. "Alright then, the map here says that the healer is on the east side of town...I'll go there while you get some supplies. I'll meet you back here later, o..." Hiro was interrupted by a random stranger in green armor.
The stranger kneeled in front of Lyn, took her hand and kissed it. "Wait, O beauteous one! Would you not favor me with your name? Or better yet, your company?"
Lyn sweatdropped, not impressed by this display. Lyn said in her coldest voice (which wasn't very harsh at all), "Where are you from, sir knight, that you speak so freely to a stranger?"
The stranger replied,"I thought you'd never ask! I am from Lycia. I hail from the Caelin canton, home to men of passion of fire!"
"Am I being ignored here?" Hiro said out of nowhere.
"Oh!" the stranger looked up, embarrassed, "I didn't know that you were with someone. My apologies, miss."
"No, I'm not her boyfriend..."and before Hiro finished, the stranger continued trying to woo Lyn (and doing a terrible job at it), as Lyn gave Hiro a death glare for saying that.
"Let's go, Hiro..."Lyn said in a MUCH colder tone. With that, the 2 walked/ hopped away.
"Wait! Please!" The stranger called.
"Another failed attempt? Sain, you are definitely not the ladies man you claim to be..." said the green armored stranger's companion, who is red armored with matching red hair, as he just walked nearby. "You shouldn't be wasting your time on these matters. We have a mission to complete here!"
"I know that. But how, Kent, could I remain silent in the presence of such beauty? It would have been discourteous!" Sain replied with flaming passion as the background become covered in flames, and Kent sweatdropped. "What do YOU know of courtesy, SAIN?" was Kent's reply.
"Uh, excuse me? You're blocking the road," said Lyn to the 2 strangers.
"OH! My apologies miss." Kent moved over.
"Hmph! Thank you. You, at least, are honorable and polite enough," said Lyn.
"Hm? You look familiar, have we met before?" said Kent uncharacteristically.
"EXCUSE ME?" said Lyn.
"No fair, Kent, I saw her first!" Kain butted in.
"HMPH! You Lycian knights are all the same! No decency with women! Come on Hiro, we're leaving," fumed an enraged Lyn, who dragged Hiro with him, grunting in pain that she was making him walk with his broken leg.
"Wait, please, it's not what you think!" begged Kent.
"SAIN, YOU DUMBA$$! It's NOT like that!" yelled Kent who again spoke uncharacteristically, and slapped his companion on the back of his head.
"What? Not like that? I thought you were..." replied Sain, but Kent interrupted.
"I am NOT you! Come on, let's follow her, I think she's our..."
"She's our what?...She's our mission? Naw..."
"What now Sain!" exclaimed Kent.
"You're sure that's not just a cover up for you really being gay?" asked Sain
Kent fumed, and would have impaled Kent with his Iron Lance if not for his disciplined mind. 'Don't kill him yet, he's your best friend. Don't kill him yet...' With that, Kent left in the direction the Sacaean left. "Wait, Kent!... damn." Sain followed him.
"Hiro I think we're being followed. Not by those knights, but I think they want to kill us," said Lyn in a worried tone.
"What gave you that idea?" asked Hiro sarcastically as a man, from the looks of his clothes, a bandit, entered the duo's sights.
"Heh heh. A pretty one! You're name is Lyndis, is it not?" asked the bandit.
Lyn had a shocked expression on her face, as Hiro noticed. 'Lyndis?' he thought.
"What did you call me? How do you know my real name? Who are you?" Lyn said, still shocked that the bandit called her that.
"What a waste, really, the thing's I'd do for money. Oh well, time to die, girly!" With that, he took out his iron axe, and began to swing. Hiro pushed the still shocked Lyn away, and took out his Muramasa to parry another blow. However, not being able to get a good stance, he fell from the heavy blow.
'Damn! He's stronger than I thought!'
"Hey, there she is!" Sain exclaimed.
"You again?" asked Lyn. "Can't you see that I'm busy here?" said Lyn as she dodged another blow from the bandit. Sain rushed up and slashed at the bandit, who retreated.
"Curse you, knight! Boys, let's get 'em!" with that, the bandit left.
Lyn was puzzled by his sudden intervention. "What? Why?"
"What's this? Such numbers against a single girl? Cowards, every one of you!" Sain yelled towards the bandits.
"I'm getting ignored again..."
"You! You're from..." said Lyn
"We'll discuss that later," said Kent as his steed stopped nearby. With him came another knight, this time in black armor. "Odin, finally you're here."
The newcomer was a rare sight. His hair was dark blue, but his most describing features were his eyes. They were a dark brown color, so dark that they looked almost completely black, like empty voids. He has a black bladed sword by his waist; the blade was oddly shaped, it looked like it could be used as a hook as well. (I can't really describe it, it's like Odin's sword from FF VIII.) Its handle was shining with a golden hue.
"Yeah. I see Sain has found himself another person to attempt and fail at wooing again," said the newcomer. Hiro noticed that he has a necklace exactly like his, with an obsidian instead of a ruby. Odin did the same with Hiro. Kent then said to Hiro,"You're a tactician, are you not? Can you command us in this battle?" Hiro nodded, still looking at Odin's necklace.
'Is that sword a legendary sword too?' he wondered.
"You're called Hiro, right? Allow me to impress the beauteous one! Let me go at them first!" Sain called to Hiro, who sweatdropped.
"You sure? Don't you want to..."
Sain interrupted by saying, "Thank you! FOR THE LADIES!" With that he charged towards a nearby bandit, lance out first. The bandit heard it, and immediately sidestepped to avoid the incoming weapon. Sain went right past him and his steed stopped just before they hit a tree in a nearby forest area. Sain, however, had his momentum carry him and he crashed into it. Odin rode up to him and pulled his friend back up. Kent rode up to him as well. "I can't believe I missed that badly..."
"Sain! Why didn't you use your sword? You know that Axes best Lances, don't you remember from combat training?" asked Odin.
"Truth be told, I forgot to buy one at the commercial center..." Sain said, embarrassed.
"(sigh) If you didn't spend so much time trying to woo women..." said Kent...
"Hey, I'm fine with just a lance!"
"Sure, but I'd prefer that you actually be able to do something other than brag. Here, I'll lend you my sword for now," sighed Kent, and with that he called Odin. "Hiro, let us make up for our companion's blunder!"
"Alright, attack the bandit!"
"Okay! Kent, you ready for this?" Odin exclaimed.
"As always!"
With that, the two knights yelled, "Slash-thru Double Team!" Then, the 2 knights' steed broke off into a run and the knights took their swords out to the side. Odin sliced low while Kent sliced mid-height, not giving the bandit any room to escape, thus being completely sliced and diced as the two knights turned their steeds around for two more strikes, each time alternating the height of their strikes.
Hiro was impressed at their teamwork. 'I gotta work on my teamwork with my buddies. I think a six point attack would look SO cool...'
"Hiro, let me make up for my mistake! It won't happen again, now that I have a sword on me!" Sain pleaded.
Hiro nodded. "Alright. There's a bandit nearby, go and get him."
"FOR THE LADIES!" Sain charged, but the bandit ran into the nearby forest area, and hid behind a tree. Sain couldn't find him, and was struck from behind as he turned around to look for the bandit. Luckily his armor protected him, and the bandit hid behind the trees again. "DAMMIT? HOW? I WAS USING A SWORD THIS TIME?"
"Fool. You chased him into a wooded area. You know how hard it is to find your enemies there?" asked Kent as Sain returned with a big huge slash on the back of his armor and a bleeding wound under it, and seeing that his companion had failed.
"(Sigh) Alright you two actually competent knights. Go kill the bandit." Then Odin and Kent rode towards the wooded area. The bandit jumped on Odin, who then fell off his steed. Kent took this opportunity while the bandit was occupied on fighting Odin to decapitate him. "Flawless victory," Kent said.
Odin complained, "Flawless victory, my A$$! My butt hurts from that fall. And it's expensive as hell to repair armor!" looking at a huge slash mark on the back of his armor, though it wasn't as deep as Sain's.
"Hmm, I think we should leave those bandits for the knight while we head for the leader, don't you agree Hiro?" Lyn asked.
"Good idea," he replied.
"Aww, although he's a total jerk, I can't leave a wounded man behind. I'll give him some vulnerary," said Lyn as she walked towards Sain. "...Sain, right?"
"Hey you remember my name! Yes, that's me, the gallant knight of Caelin!"
"...Right, whatever you say to make yourself feel better," commented Lyn. "Anyways, why have you not healed yourself?" asked Lyn.
"Oh, I'm injured? What a cad I am! To wrinkle that perfect brow of yours with worry for me..."Sain replied.
Lyn looked in awe at him, and said, "You've a bloody and very visible and seeming fatal scar on your back, and you've bled a liter of blood, AND YOU DIDN'T NOTICE IT?"
Sain, trying to be all macho and manly, said, "It's just a flesh wound!"
With that, Lyn sighed. "I was thinking of giving you a vulnerary, but... It looks like you're fine. So, never you mind."
Sain then begged for her to give it. "Wait! Please, I'll take it, I'll take it! I can't keep such a generous offer waiting! The healing power of love awaits with yon angel!" then Sain galloped towards Lyn, blood flying out of his back as he did so. Hiro hurled as Lyn threw Sain a vulnerary, with her face turning green. Sain then drank the miracle medicine, and the wound was gone almost immediately. "Ah, much better! You have my gratitude, my beauteous angel!" Lyn sweatdropped as he rode off to join his fellow in knights in taking care of the rest of the bandits. As Lyn and Hiro walked towards the leader, they heard in the distance, "DELTA BLADE TORNADO!"
'They come up with the cheesiest names...' Hiro thought.
Lyn then hid in a wooded area along with Hiro. "Alright, this one's the last of them. Let's go."
They approached the bandit. The bandit said, "Damn knights, always interfering in others' businesses." Then he charged at the 2 Sacaeans, and swung his axe Hiro dodged to the right while Lyn dodged to the left. They both took out their swords. Hiro slashed at the bandit's thigh while Lyn slashed the bandit's arm. The bandit kneeled in pain, and Lyn jumped up and impaled the bandit's head with her sword. "Victory!" the girl exclaimed.
"Alright, you knights have some explaining to do," said Lyn. "You want to discuss something with me, right?"
Kent nodded. "Indeed. We are knights under the service of Lady Madelyn who ran off and married a nomad 19 years ago. Our mistress is the Caelin's Marquess' only daughter. He was heartbroken that his own daughter would abandon him this way. He hoped that she would eventually return, but since that never happened, he declared that he had no daughter to become his heir."
'Madelyn?' Lyn thought.
Sain continued on where Kent left off, "This year, we received a letter from Lady Madelyn that stated that she was living happily with her husband and her daughter in the plains. She said that her daughter was 16 years old. The marquess was so happy and his grin was enormous to know that he has a granddaughter. This girl's name is Lyndis, the name of the Marquess' wife who has passed away."
"Lyndis?" Lyn exclaimed.
Odin continued, "The marquess was happy that this girl would have his wife's name. He just wants to see her now, and that's where we knights come in. Our mission was to find Lyndis. However, we didn't know that Lady Madelyn died soon after the letter was delivered. We didn't know about it until we recently reached Bulgar. We were disheartened by that, but the townspeople also said that she's still alive, living alone in the plains...Oh, for Elimine's sake, it's you isn't it?" Odin asked Lyn.
Lyn was still in a state of shock.
"I knew it immediately, you are the Lady Lyndis," said Kent.
"Why would you think that?" asked Lyn.
"Your resemblance to your mother is uncanny," he replied.
"Did you know my mother?" asked Lyn.
"No, but there were many portraits of her around the castle," replied Kent.
"To my tribe...they always called me Lyn. Only my parents would call me by Lyndis, my real name. I thought...that after they died, I had no more family in this world, no idea that I would have at least a grandfather. I thought that I would be called Lyndis again..."and Lyn stopped talking, and then remembered something. "That bandit! He called me Lyndis too!" she exclaimed.
"What? How could he have known?" asked Kent.
Odin then butted in, "They must have been some of Lundgren's hired goons."
Hiro finally spoke, "Who is this Lundgren?"
Sain answered this, "Lundgren is Lady Lyndis' granduncle. He wants to be the marquess when your grandfather dies. And to put it bluntly, he merely sees Lyndis as an obstacle in his path to becoming the Marquess." Lyn told him that she doesn't want to get the title.
"Apparently he doesn't believe that," replied Odin, "and he won't stop sending his goons after you until you die, milady."
Lyn looked really down at that statement. "What should I do now?" Lyn asked.
"You should go along with us to Caelin. We'll protect you, as it is dangerous to stay here," suggested Kent.
"Looks like I don't really have another choice. Okay then, just let me get ready and I'll be on my way," was Lyn's reply.
"Hiro, I'm sorry, but you heard what they said," Lyn then asked Hiro, "This changes everything. What will you do?"
Hiro then looked at her and said, "I'll go with you. It's not like I have much to do now anyways. I could always use a good practice on my strategizing skills."
Lyn looked overjoyed. "Really? You'll come with me? Your company and advice will be much appreciated!" Lyn exclaimed as Hiro nodded.
"But first...CAN WE GET TO THE BLOODY ELIMINE-FORSAKEN HEALER'S ALREADY!" yelled a rather annoyed Hiro. Lyn laughed at this comment. Then Lyn walked, the knights rode, and Hiro hopped towards the healer. "Elimine, my leg is KILLING me."
And here's the first chapter of Lyn's Tale
