Thanks for the review.
Now, I have to mention few things: First, some characters will not appear in the story. Second, the story has some elements from other games, animes, and books, so the story can be a little familiar for some of you. Last, I am still trying to determine if it is good idea to add some unexpected pairings and who will they be. So please, give me some ideas.
Now, here is chapter 6, please review.
"Mother? Mother, where are you? MOTHER!" At front of a big huge mansion, a woman walking toward the huge gate with a child trailing behind her crying, the child reaches his tiny hands out, trying to get the woman to look at him. "Please mother, don't leave me. I do anything, anything; just don't leave me here with father, he is going to kill me. I promise that I will be a good boy, just don't leave me in this horrible place. I BEGGING YOU, MOTHER!" The woman simply walks through main gate, looks back, and says "I will not have a monster as my son, you can just dead here with rest of those scum." After that she left without looking back again.
"Mother…MOTHER!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…" Sin shoots up from his bed, sweating like a mad man. Damn it, not this dream again. This is the third time in a week. He gets off the bed and start dressing. He looks out of the window see Lyn and Kent are sparring with each other.
On the other side of the field, Sain is flirting with other girls in the town, again. The two villagers that they saved earlier are resting in the room just opposite to Sin's. The boy is still not waking up, and the girl refuses to talk to anyone beside Lyn. What a wonderful trip. Just a few days and we already manage to get our hands full, and not to mention that I am searching for my memories as part- time job. Yep, life is sure wonderful right now. Sin sigh heavily to himself and start to make his way downstairs.
--Lyn's POV--
"Damn it." I shout a battle cry, and charge toward Kent. It has been many days since we found those two survivors from the destroyed village. Damn those bandits, how could they do such thing? Destroying people's dreams, kill children's family. I wish that I could summon a thousand dragons so I can burn them into ashes. No, That would be too nice for them.
"My lady, watch out." When I come back to my senses, I find a child sitting on the ground, looks very scared, and my sword is pointing at his throat. "Ah, I am sorry." Nice move, idiot. "Are you OK?"
The kid blank a few times and then says, "So…sorry, I wasn't looking." I offer my hand to him, but somehow he looks at me and then gets up on his own. I guess he is still scared of me, but considering what happened, only morons are not scared.
"What is your name, child?"
"Nil."
"What are you doing here? Why aren't you with your parents?"
"I…" The boy hesitates awhile to answer the questions, looking around and search for something. Suddenly, he smiles and shouts, "Ninian, over here." The boy sits up and turns toward me, says: "Thank you for your help, but I got to go, see you later." After that the boy just left.
"What a weird kid." I mumble to myself.
"You said it, but it is not nice to say bad thing behind someone's back."
"AHHH…damn you Sin, don't sneak up on me like that. I may get a heart attack." Lyn take a deep huge breath without taking my eyes off Sin.
"Sorry about that, but if you are about to have heart attack, that would only prove one thing. You are old, because as far as I know, only old people get heart att…OUCH, what did you do that for?" I smash my fist really hard on Sin's head. How dare he mocking. I looking at him with my most evil glare and he freezes that instant.
"Ah, why are you looking at me like that, Lyn?" Sin looks nervously at me. Yes, indeed, he is very, VERY nervous.
"Oh nothing, just planning…you know, your training for the month." I point one of my fingers at the large boulder by the inn. That boulder is size of a fully-grown horse, so I figure it should be around 3 tons.
Sin's face becomes very pale that moment and starts to look for an opening for a huge run. "Well, you know me. I think I get to give a hand to Kent, just in case. See you."
Suddenly a large fire breaks out from village's front gate. I also see that the boy that I almost killed earlier running toward us. Once he reaches us he says, "Miss, you got to help me. Some bad guys just kidnapped my sister."
"Ok, this doesn't look good." Sin replies and start to pull me away.
--Normal POV--
"Damn it, Sin, we can't just go out there and take on fifty shaman with only four of us." Ever since Sin and Lyn agreed to help the kid, Kent has using every kinds of excuse not to fight and simply walk away from this battle. "Besides, kidnap a girl is very popular around this area, if we help everyone that is in need, when do you expect us to get to Caelin?"
"Are you saying that we just let the girl be taking way while we just sitting in a warm castle and drinking tea? Some knight you are."
"I know that we SHOULD help, but four against fifties, not even your tactics can save us from that one." Kent looks at Sin and Lyn seriously as if he is daring two of them to go against the last statement.
"Yes, that is a problem, but it is not four against fifty, but seven." Everyone that involved in the argument turn around and find two villagers they found yesterday and another stranger standing just few feet away from them.
"Sorry, let me introduce ourselves. My name is Will, and this is Florina, I suppose you already know. We were part of village defenders. One day, the bandits took us by surprise and destroyed most of our defenders. We manage to survive, the elder of the village knock us out and put us in the basement of the temple. So that's how WE survived."
"I see, but what about you, stranger? What is your story? Why are you here in the first place?"
The stranger thinks for a moment and says "Well, can't tell you too much, but my name is Matthew, that's all I can say."
"Thanks, I think. Anyway, any form of help is welcome. But just one question, what kind of weapon do you guys use?" Sin looks at three new crews. They all look different from their suits.
"I am an archer, I use bow and arrows. Florina is a Pegasus Knight, she uses spear, and fights in the air. Matthew is a thief, and he…ah, fights with…you know, tricks."
""OK, anyway." Sin looks at the field for awhile and then says, "Here is the plan. Florina and Matthew will take the short cut to rescue the girl while we distract the enemies by attack them head on, get it? Kent, you are the fastest around here so I want you to warn the village in the northeast side. Rest of us of do as I said."
"Oh look, the little Mr. Tactician is ordering us around. Sin, I am not mocking you, but if we fight together, then we can smash those outer classes into dust. That should be our plan." Wil looks at Sin confidently.
"No, if you attack together then they may use the chance to take the girl away. Our mission is to rescue the girl, not exterminate every last enemy alive."
"No, you listen to me…"
And then this turn into a heated argument with two young SOLDIERS trying to prove that they are right is the matter. However, unnoticed by two boys, the dark aura around Lyn and Florina has grow larger and larger, and finally, "SHUT THE FK UP YOU TWO! WE ARE SIMPLY TRYING TO SAVE THE GIRL, NOT PRVING WHO IS THE BEST TACTICAN."
That outburst not only successfully shut the two soldiers, it also bring much attention from the villagers.
"Hahaha, don't mind us, we are just joking around." Lyn says while her hand is scratching the back of her head.
"Any way, let's just use Sin's plan, and Will, if you have ideas, tell us later."
--Few moments later--
"See, my plan work perfectly." Sin looks at Will, he is still mad at Will for making Lyn mad at himself.
"Oh, shut up. If Lord Eliwood hadn't show up, those shamans would barbecue us." Wil walk into the inn with few bruises, so are the other members of their little army, and then Eliwood walking in with a girl on his arms.
The girl wears a dress that is made of soft silk and no sleeves. The left part of it traveled past her knees a few inches before it stopped while the right side continued to her ankles, slanting the dress. Underneath it was another silky fabric made of darker blue that covered her feet and flared to the ground. She wore a brown choker—sown with gold designs—around the pale column of her throat and a matching brown strap hooked around the tips of her arms and the top of her chest, holding in place a sheer white cape. From out of the strap two long piece of her cape came around and wrapped her pale arms. She wore a blue waist length glove on her right hand with the bottom of it embroidered with the same design as her choker and strap. Her left glove traveled all the way up to the beginning of the hook, this one plan blue.
Around her waist she wore a simple silver belt with a tiny red jewels and a large blue gem that was high on her right hip and low on her left. She also wore another belt that crisscrossed her silver one. This one was made of gold buckles and gold hanging beads that ran high on her left hip and came low on her right. A thin—but apparently strong—white string was tied around her head to hold twin headpieces. They started just above her ears and were made of a triangular piece of silver that had a single white ribbon tied to both. The ribbons flowed with her hair down to her waist in an almost water-like effect.
"Whoa, she sure is a beauty." Some how, unsurprisingly, Sain sneaks his way to see the girl and thinking his evil plan of how to flirting with THIS girl, again.
"Kent, try to keep Sain busy would you, and please don't give me that look." After that Kent takes Sain away forcefully.
"Sin, look, Ninian is waking up." Nil calls out.
The girl slowly opens her eyes and look around. When she sets her eyes on Nil, she sits up and hug him, just that moment she sees Sin. She looks into his eyes and stops in her truck. They both have strange feelings about each other, like they had met before. They haven't said anything for awhile, and finally they both ask the same question, "Who are you?"
If you are wondering why i wrote so much about Ninian, well, since she is a quite important character in the story, not only in the love business, also in the story development, so I kind of out do it. One more thing, I kind ofcopy thosedescription from another book, so please don't sue me, but I really suck at character introduction.
