The walk to Ylisstol was peaceful for the most part save for Lissa occasionally talking to Robin and Chrom, Frederick staring at us, and me having small breakdowns inside acknowledging the fact I killed someone
I saved a town, but Wow. Killing people, a guy like me, someone who was once a scrawny nerd killing people. Given that they were threatening the safety of innocents but still. Though I am confused, wouldn't the thought of killing someone make me sick in an instant? Haah, No point in losing my sanity now, with what'll happen in the future I need to stay strong.
The rest walk was uneventful. I wanted to talk to them but I'm not sure how to start a conversation. I've always been kinda awkward whenever I speak with people who are new to me, it takes a bit of time before I get used to their presence and be able to at the very least start a conversation
It got harder when I decided to test out Structural Analysis on people. I was able to convince Chrom and friends that I accidentally swallowed a fly. It took a while before I was able to look at Robin again without acting funny
As the time passed, my ideas of this world still being a game was slowly diminishing. I know that now they are people, real living people with lives of their own but you can't exactly blame me for trying to use game logic originally like those shows I've heard about. But now I'm not entirely in a game, I'm in a game's world, not in a video game. I'm here along with Chrom and friends walking back to the capital. Not teleporting to the next area for the plot to move on or have the time magically change to night for us to meet the risen, progress the story and, if possible, find some sort of high mage or something similar to a dragon gate to see if I can go home
The thought was always in the back of my head but I needed to find Chrom and friends first in order to adventure and find one of the two. People trust them more than a dangerous looking foreign man ready to kill you the moment you look at him wrong. This way of thinking may be selfish but being honest, It was already an amazing experience being here, meeting my favorite characters from my one of my favorite games and to be able to travel with them in real life(Thanks to Archer's powers I guess). And even though it was short, experiencing what I've always dreamt of as a kid felt great
Speaking of magic night time it's getting dark now. Chrom might decide to camp here soon
"I told you-it's getting dark already! ...Ech! and now the bugs are out! Noisy, disgusting bugs that crawl around and bite you when-"
If one looks closely, you'll see a small black dot slowly fly into...oh
"Agh! Won goph in mah mouph! Blech! Ptooey!" Poor Lissa
"What are you smiling about!" Don't point that accusing finger on me, I'm not the only one here
"Nothing" I replied with a smirk on my face
"Aw, come on now Lissa, hardship builds character. Want to help me gather firewood?"
"Tpht! Tpht! Yeeeeeeuck! ...I Think I swallowed it" Lissa replied gracefully, fit for the princess she is
"I'll pass in finding firewood, thanks. I think I've built QUITE enough character for one day!" Lissa complained with a tone fit for that stupid headwear. Seriously where was she going with her style, Steampunk Lolita? Not that I understand what I'm wearing, at least mine looks cool, I think
"We should probably think about food. I don't know about you, but I'm starving" Robin said
"I agree, It's dark out now and we need to be able to last the night" I added. I really needed to learn how to speak like old timey people properly. My accent still doesn't feel right
"I suppose a little hunting and gathering is in order" Frederick said
"I guess it's settled, I will hunt for any animals that can act as a source of food" I said aiming to get things started
"I'm coming with. I cannot trust a potential Plegian spy let alone an archer out of my sight" Frederick said rather sternly
"There's no need to worry, I trust him" Chrom said with confidence
"Are you sure milord? How can you say you trust him, a mercenary and as a matter of fact Robin whom has supposedly has amnesia?" Frederick inquired
"First of all, they risked their lives to protect the town. If they were gold lovers they had the choice to join the brigands in their raid, but they chose not to and fought alongside us. Even if we had left Siris in Southtown he would have joined the army sooner or later. And second, he shot that makeshift arrow into Garrick. He had the perfect chance to kill me but chose to save a child instead" Chrom said. Did I leave that much of an impression on him? He looked back at me "Actions speak louder than words"
"*sighs* It seems there is nothing I can do to change your naive way of thinking milord. But nonetheless I will still be accompanying Siris" Frederick said
"Very well" I said. With the reasons Frederick gave it's understandable why he doesn't want me to be left alone, so in order to gain their trust or at least not have Frederick point that spear at me while hunting
I handed my bag and bow to Chrom
"Take it" I said to Chrom who look confused
"If you hand me your bow, how can you hunt?" He asked
"I'll manage" I stated. I'm confident that my Reinforcement will help me in small things, if not then it would be good. After giving my stuff to Chrom, I walked into the forest with Frederick in tow
We sat down by the campfire Chrom and Robin (and maybe Lissa?) made. Chrom wanted to return my bow but Frederick said otherwise. In the end I was able to hunt 5 grown hares and as a bonus, a bear but I had to keep it behind some bushes to keep Frederick from running away.
"So with what Frederick reported, instead of using your bow, you hunted down these hares with leaves from trees and...fought the bear in hand to ha-paw combat?" Chrom asked while I was preparing the food
In hindsight, fighting the bear may look like a bad idea but as I said before, I really wanted to know my strength. The bear died when after being on the receiving end of an uppercut. The look on Frederick's face was gold
"Yes, I did" I said nonchalantly
"Dinner's ready" I said before she could ask again and handed one hare to each everyone and kept one to myself
"This is good" Chrom said as he took a big bite
"Not bad" Lissa said as she took a bite
"What about you Robi-" Lissa wa about to ask for her opinion only to see the hare in her hands gone
"It was nice" She said while looking down in embarrassment
"Geez, if you eat like that you'll gain fat in no time" Lissa said
"I don't mean to be rude but, do you have more?" Robin asked. Damn how hungry is she?
"If you are looking for more hares than I'm sorry, no. But if you are looking for more food we have a bear behind those bushes" I said pointing my thumb behind me
"Could we cook it?" She asked while twiddling with fingers.
"It's fine" I went to the bushes to pull out the bear by it's paws along with two large sticks and one long and sharp one with a bent end stabbed trough the bear that lets me rotate the bear
I picked up leaf, reinforced it, and cut some parts of the bear open to allow the heat to get inside. I may be relying on this spell too much but what can I say, It's damn useful for both combat and mundane things
"Could you tell us what spell you used on that leaf" Robin asked
Maybe telling them what I can do won't hurt me and besides they need to know what my abilities are
Presenting the reinforced leaf to Robin "Reinforcement"
"Reinforcement is a spell that works by pouring my Prana into an object. What it does is self explanatory"
"Here try bending this" I said while picking up a stray branch, reinforcing it, and giving it to Robin. I'm getting good at this Reinforcement thing, I don't always need to us Structural Analysis, only on anything new or something bigger than a log
She looked at it for a moment before attempting to bend it. First with both of her thumbs pushing at the stick's back then she tried breaking it with her knee. Now she's hugging her knee after dropping the stick on the floor
"Let me try" Chrom said
His display was much more extravagant with him first, bending it by his knee, stepping on it followed by him attempting to cut it with Falchion only for the stick to tank the hit with only minor scrathes. What a mighty blade losing to a small tree branch
"That's a pretty useful spell. This thing's as tough as a iron" He commented looking at both Falchion and the stick
Going back to the bear it was almost done, the meat is getting tender
I was able to cook the bear quickly and evenly by focusing the fire on the parts where the bear was cut open. I cut a part out for Robin, one for Chrom just in case, and another one for me. How does bear meat taste?
"Here" I said giving Robin her piece
"Thank you" She said before munching down the meat at a alarming rate. Maybe I need to hunt another bear
"Thanks" Chrom replied "Bear meat. Been a long time since I've had this, try some Lissa"
"No thanks, the hare was enough" She said
Hmm... never tried bear meat. Here goes nothing
Not bad, taste like chicken, is that how it's supposed to taste like or is it just me
"What about you Frederick?" Chrom asked again
"No thank you milord" Frederick declined. It's okay big man, everyone has their own fears
"Aw, suit yourselves, a man can't fight on an empty stomach. Just look at Robin and her...hadn't Siris given you a piece?" Chrom asked. I knew she was hungry but this is ridiculous
"Here" I smiled at the sight before handing her another piece larger than the first
"Thank you again" She said before munching it for a second time
"Before I forget, what is Prana?" Robin took a break from munching, looked up and asked
"Your right" Lissa tapped her fist into her open palm "You mentioned your power as Prana. Is there a difference between Prana and Mana?" She asked. As a magic user it must be interesting to learn new terms and spells
At least the only term that I used was Prana. If I said Magecraft than that would be much more confusing
"Prana is a general term. How I learned magic taught me that there are two types of Magical Energy" I said while lifting two fingers up
I pointed it the middle finger "The first is Mana which is the natural energy flowing around the world, it is pure raw energy making it harder to control but much more potent of the two" I pointed to my pointer finger "And Od, the Magical energy generated from our body's circuits, compared to Mana, Od is weaker but easier to control" I explained
"As reference, how my Reinforcement works is a simple example. I use Mana to empower an object while using my Od as a lid to keep the compressed power inside of an object. If the lid were to break or be too weak to hold in the Mana" I informed before gesturing Chrom to hand over the stick. Taking the stick from Chrom, I overloaded it causing it to shine azure blue for a moment
"Whoa" Collective shock noises
The stick exploded in a blue flash turning it into piles of bluish dust. That hurt enough to leave a small burn but nothing else
"The object would break" I said opening my palm to let the dust fly
"And you claimed to be an archer" Chrom replied sarcasticly
"One must always strive to improve" I should stop being smug now
"Where did you learn Reinforcement?" Robin asked again looking at my arm
"From a tomb I found some time ago" By some time ago I meant at least a day and by found I mean (most likely) given by a magical old man. Magical old man, never thought I'd said words like that in my whole life
"*Yawn* I'm getting sleepy. If you'd excuse me, I'm taking a nap" Lissa said while rubbing her eyes. Yeah it's getting late I can tell Robin and Frederick look like they could sleep at any moment
"Well a nap wouldn't hurt*Yawn*" Robin said before promptly falling asleep with a thud. Sheesh woman what is happening to you
I gave a soft smile "Goodnight" I said before laying my head on my bag
I should enjoy this moment of peace. But I can't forget about the Risen appearing or Wolves potentially attacking, or Risen riding wolves engaging us in one on one dance battles. Damn you Dancing all Night
I can't sleep. The feeling of impending doom kept me up, not necessarily a bad thing as I'm not that sleepy in the first place, but that meant that I needed to to stay awake for a while before Chrom takes a walk with Lissa
It won't be long now. After staying awake for at least an hour or two Chrom started showing signs of waking up. I shifted my body to the side to make them think I'm still asleep. I plan on staying behind and watching them from afar
"...Huh?" I can hear his voice and the sound of him slowly getting to his feet
"*Yawn* What's wrong. Big Brother?" Lissa is awake so it seems
"Ah Sorry. I didn't mean to wake you, but" He paused "Something is amiss"
I can hear Lissa standing up and taking a few steps
"Define "something"" She asked
"I'm not sure" I can hear him walking, his footsteps getting quieter which each step "I think I'll have a look around" His voice sounds distant, but still within my hearing range
"Not alone, you won't I'm coming too" Lissa said
"Heh. Thanks Lissa" I heard him reply
Based on my hearing they are most likely walking away, their footsteps getting quieter and quieter before I can barely hear it
I got up quietly making sure I don't disturb Robin or Frederick. It might be safer to wake them up but that would make Frederick suspicious. I wore my bag and took a look around finding out where they went. Chrom also left my bow, that's good. I picked up my bow holding it with my left hand. After looking for a bit I can make out a distinct yellow color deep in the forest, I began following them, hiding behind the trees as I trailed them
I caught up with them. They stopped. I can feel the ground shaking
"LISSA RUN!" I can hear Chrom shout
The ground suddenly cracked opened, a wall of lava rose with fireballs being shot out, burning the trees and setting off a forest fire. It was catastrophe, trees burning and smoke rising high, clouding over the forest
Shit, I need to back out quickly before I get hit
No stay for a bit, make sure that Chrom and Lissa get away safely
"WATCH OUT!" Another shout from Chrom was heard. Damn it, a fire ball was launched in Lissa's direction. I can see it, arched in a path that will hit Lissa soon. To make matters worse, she tripped. She turned around to see the fire ball making it's way towards her, the look of fear shown prominently on her face
"LISSA!" Damn it. Damn it. DAMN IT
She's not dying. Not on my watch. Not when I have the strength to protect. Not when I can actually make a change
Quickly pulling an arrow from my quiver, I placed it on the bow's left side, reinforcing the arrow's tip with a small but crucial change. The arrow's tip was unstable, The tip was holding a large amount of Prana and had a weak Od lid. In theory, the lid would break the moment it made impact or if the tip receives damage, combined with the large amount of Prana that gave it a azure blue shine, it should cause some sort of explosion, hopefully enough to stop the fireball or weaken it
No time to lose. I aimed at it. Focus. Release
The arrow flew straight into the massive fireball, sinking in before a bright blue sphere enveloped it, completely erasing the fireball and causing a small shockwave
No time to be amazed, need to get to Lissa pronto
Sprinting to her as fast as I can, if I keep up this pace I'll make it to her in seconds
"Lissa" I called her attention
"Siris!" I made it. She was holding onto her leg, she tried to get up but the wound kept her down
Crap, that looks painful.
Where's a Goddamn vulnerary when you need one. No time to waste, I need to get her to safety, at least until the fireballs stop shooting
"I'm sorry about this" I said before keeping my bow and bending down
"What do yo-Ahh!" I picked her up and carried her like a princess. As much as a man like me would enjoy holding a beautiful woman in my arms, now's not the time. Damn it's hard to get a grip on this dress
"Hold on" She didn't have the time to say anything, complying to what I said by placing her hands around my neck as I ran away from the wall and towards Chrom who was standing by a gap
"This way!" he jumped down and I followed him in
We ran until the chaos finally died down. Chrom stopped to catch his breath
"Are you okay" I asked Lissa. She looked back at me before nodding her head "I'm fine thanks you" She replied with a smile
"Chrom do you have anything that could heal her wounds?" I asked. He noticed the wound on her leg and quickly pulled a small satchel from his back
"Here" He said. Slowly and gently, I placed Lissa on the floor with her back against a tree
Chrom bent down and applied the vulnerary on Lissa's injured knee
"Ouch!" Lissa yelped. Even in another world direct medication hurts. I can tell it's working, Lissa's wound slowly knitted itself shut. That's actually amazing, if only this was how modern medicine works
"Can you stand?" I need to know if she's alright
She grabbed onto Chrom's shoulder and slowly stood up. She rubbed the formerly damaged knee
"I'll manage" She declared. I guess it worked like a charm. The moment didn't last as a giant blue portal with black symbols appeared in the sky. Here they come
"What IS that?!" Lissa pointed to the sky. The portal kept on growing with black symbols rotating at a fast pace
As soon as the portal reached what I think is it's maximum size, zombie like creatures poured out in pairs. Over and over again each armed with a variety of weapons ranging from daggers to longbows
"Prepare for a fight" I told them prompting Chrom draw Falchion and get in his stance
"Milord! Milady! Are you hurt?" Frederick's shout was heard coming from behind us. I turned around to see him along with Robin running our way
"What's going on here?!" Frederick and Robin looked at the small battalion of risen getting on their feet, readying their weapons
"Are such horrific creatures a commonplace in these lands?" Robin said as she held up her tomb
"They're not from Yliss. I promise you that" Chrom replied
"Milady your injured!" Frederick exclaimed loudly panicking to find that she was harmed
"Don't worry it could've been much worse. Thank Siris that all I had was a scratch on the knee" Lissa tried to calm him down
"I don't mean to interrupt but we still have to deal with them" Robin reminded us about the dangers that were ahead, this time the risen looked like they were about to charge at any moment
This shouldn't be too much of a problem, just as long as we stick together we should be able to get out of this ali-
"And the other portals appearing further behind that and to the side of us" She said again. I looked to the side to find that indeed another portal began to open, the saving grace being it's size, it was at least half the size of the first
This isn't good, there's a shit load of them and only five of us. Pray to God the risen act like generic zombies, if they did, dealing with them would be a piece of cake.
"Robin" I called her attention
"Yes"
"If I may suggest a plan, could you deal with the ones to our right. I will hold this line until you come back" I can't let them surround us. As strong as we are individually, we can't let ourselves get swarmed by their large numbers. Explosive arrows could deal with the immediate threat or stall them until "Marth" jumps out one of them
"That's insane, do you have a death wish?!" She replied angrily but I can tell she was concerned
"Yes. I do" I pulled out three arrows, reinforcing them with what I call the explosive Prana tip in an instant, placing it on my bow spread out in three directions all aimed at the front wave of risen.
Once more. Focus. Release
Three bright blue beams flew towards the sides and the center of the risen, creating three separate blue explosions, completely annihilating the first half of risen with 3 craters in the ground and a large amount of black dust filling the air soon after
"Now I don't" I said. Arrogance may kill me someday in this world but let me feel how OP characters feel whenever they do there bullshit at least once
"I can handle this wave. We still need to take out the other wave before they can overwhelm us. I can hold them back for you as you deal with the one closest to us, come back for me when you're done" I still have 9 arrows with me, time to make them count. Where are the tactician's orders?
I turned around to see that they were still standing slack jawed at the scene
"By Naga's ti-"
"Go!" Hurry before Shit hits the fan even more
"R-right. Everyone, this way!" Robin called. They ran towards the portal to our right before disappearing into the forest
Okay Siris, you can do this. Unlike risen archers, I have explosive arrows
Loading another three arrows, I took aim and fired, blowing up the front of the second wave. Using the gap as my chance, I fired two more, this time the arrows hit dead center of the wave, clearing out the middle leaving a larger and deeper crater. This is getting me nowhere, for every risen I kill, more come out of the portal
I tried firing an arrow at the portal only for it to be blocked by jumping risen. They know what I'm planning, not as mindless as they say
Shit! More are falling out from the portal. At this rate, they'll swarm me soon. I fired another arrow at the hoard, blowing up another chunk, this still isn't enough to hold them back
Damn, I'm running out of ammo. I needed to save my last two arrows, another portal is still behind this one. There's still a shit load of them, and one of me. I need to at least hold them back for a bit longer, Robin and Co.'s portal was smaller than this one. Nothing left to use unless I decide to waste all my arrows in a possibly infinite risen rush, this is hopeless. I'm just one man, what can I do against THAT!
Who am I kidding, if I'm dying in this world, I'm not dying without trying. I have strength unlike my original self. So I'm using it, hopefully giving them time to save themselves. I've placed myself into this mess and I'm not letting them down
"Hehe...Here I come!" I kept my bow and ran straight at them. I picked up a pair of short swords when I got near, reinforcing it to the limit in an instant
Now, how do I fight multiple enemies with a curved short sword. Guess I'll wing it. This is stupid and reckless, instinct don't fail me now
I charged straight into the leading risen, stabbing it straight into it's head. Pulling out the blade I swung it to the side to stop another from getting me. So far so good
Again I attacked against the hoard of risen. There were much more than I thought. I've got an Idea
Cutting down all of the risen in my path, quickly making it to the center, standing in the crater to let them fall in. I held my position. Again this is suicidal but it will keep them from attacking the others for a bit longer, even if I fall
"COME AND GET ME!" And they came
One by one they fell, my blades slicing through everyone and everything that dared to go near me. Blades breaking before they were swung, arrows intercepted before they could land, enemies falling before they made it to me. It was a slaughter, a one sided slaughter. All of the dropped weapons and armor, filled up the empty hole
Such a surreal feeling. Every time they attack me I could see their strikes hitting me, but nothing would connect. I would react to every strike with crude movements. I can tell I'm not fighting like a warrior, I'm fighting like a madman. Using all the force I can muster to swing with no technique to guide it. As wild as I may be, it was enough to tear through their numbers
All the surrounding risen, dead. All that's left are the archers. Once more I charged them, taking out the stragglers. They must be taken out of their misery, all the soldiers who's souls were trapped in lifeless bodies begging for freedom. It's done, all that's left if the portal.
What can I do to close it? Looking at the swords in my hand, I decided to do another reckless stunt. Throwing my unstable blades at the portal letting them explode, causing It to collapse from the inside before disappearing
Good. One down. How are the others faring?
The portal behind me closed after being hit by a lightning bolt
Two down, one to go
I should wait for them to come back. Better safe then sorry. My body's starting to feel weak, maybe all the adrenaline is wearing off? No, I can still fight, at the very least I can fire one explosive arrow
I have the time to sit down for a bit, maybe take a nap. The last portal was the smallest and nothing came out of it yet
Yeah. A nap sounds nice, the chain mail feels nice
"Siris?!"
"Siris!" Aw, just a few more minutes "Siris!" You don't have to shout at me I can hear you
Guess I should talk to them. I slowly stood up, I feel so tired. As I stood up Chrom and friends, now with Sully and Virion, made their way to me, stopping by the makeshift iron and steel bed I'm in. It may not be the most comfortable bed but the iron plates and chainmail armor gave me a decent amount of space
"I told you I'd hold them back"
Shit!
My legs gave in to the stress forcing me to fall on one knee
"Siris!" My breathing hurts. My right arm burns. My head is dizzy and I feel nauseous
"Lissa, can you see what's wrong" Chrom said. To help, I removed my cloak. Lissa came forward and began checking for any wounds
"There's no damage to his body" She continued looking. "He's most likely exhausted from fighting" She grabbed my arm before reeling back her hand. "Hot!"
"What's this?" Again she inspected my arm. My hand now had circuit like patterns spread across my palm and fingers
"I'm not sure what's happening with your arm" She developed a thinking pose "Let me try this" She brought her staff to my arm and chanted, the healing light enveloped it. It helped weaken the burning sensation but DAMN my arm still hurts like hell
She noticed my discomfort and stopped "I'm sorry but I'm not sure on how to help you" She looked down with a disappointment look
"I'm fine. It was my idiotic decision to hold them off in the first place" I said trying to comfort her. I patted her head with my good left arm "Still. Thank you for trying. Don't worry I can walk this off" I've been hurt much worse than this twice already. If something like this keeps me down than I will never get stronger
I stood up again. This time the pain lost it's spark, it still hurts but not at the level that brings me to my knees
"I'm sorry but I'll have to step out of the fight" I can stand but that doesn't mean I can fight in this condition
"It's fine. Looking at you work, you've more than earned a break" Chrom said
"Captain, this is our second recruit? Are ya sure he's a hired bow and not ah walking siege cannon?" Ah. Hello Sully, thank you for the compliment
"Indeed, my fair Sully. Even I, the Archest Archer am not capable of holding of a battalion of these horrid creatures. But for you my love, I shall" Ah. Hello Virion, still chasing the ladies I see
"Shut it Ruffles" This is getting out of hand
"I don't mean to ruin the moment but we still have that to take care of" Thank you Robin
"Right. Let's move" Chrom said before taking off with everyone following
Nice. Real nice guys, leave the internally burning man behind. Better catch up, Gods it stings, hundred times worse than pins and needles
Left foot. Right foot. Left foot. Right foot. Left foot. Right foot. Making it, slowly making it
Hey looks like Chrom and friends made it. What's that?
At long last, something started coming out of the last portal. Something, not risen. A giant arm with a humongous axe, not what I was expecting at all
Chrom and friends stand ready
It came out. A massive creature with one eye at least three stories tall holding a rugged stone axe. Simply put, a cyclops, a Goddamn risen cyclops
What. The. FUCK! What the hell is that thing doing here?! We aren't in Sacred Stones, scratch that, I'm still in Fire Emblem. Is it because I'm here? Is the world I'm in different now?
"RAUUUUUUU!" It let out a massive earth shattering roar. It held up it's axe to the sky and swung it down leaving a massive cut on the ground and uprooting trees
"Retreat!" Following the order, everyone came running back to the field I was in. Why me? No choice but to move back
"RAUUUUUUU!" It followed soon after. Thank the Lord that is was slow as hell
Chrom and friends soon made it back to the open field, past the aftermath of my fight
"What do we do!?" Lissa panicked
"I'm thinking" Said Robin, she started looking around the field
Shit! What can we do? If we leave, that thing can and will go on a rampage. Come on Siris, think. You've beaten this game in Lunatic plus, you can think of something. Aim for the eye? Maybe, it has a risk of making it go berserk unless it's killed with one shot. Maybe if I could make it stand still. Wait, MY BED, not my actual bed but my makeshift bed. The weight of the cyclops should make it fall into the piles of steel
"Ro-" Was all I can say before I was cut off
"I have a plan. We lure it into Siris's crater, judging by it's size, it should be heavy enough to crush the iron and fall in" Robin said. Uhh... maybe I didn't need to say anything
She turned to look at me "I'm sorry Siris, but do you have the strength to fire an arrow?"
Can I? I equipped my bow and pulled out one arrow. I tried to reinforce it with my explosive tip but all that did was make these circuits glow a dim blue light with no changes to the arrow. "I'm out of explosives, but yes I can try" Either me or Virion, no offense
"Good" She looked at Sully "Sully, I know it's risky but try to draw its attention and lure it into the pit"
"Got it" She said before leaving
"Virion, same with you. Draw its attention by firing arrows while positioned on the other side of the pit"
"For you, my angel" Not the best time but at least he's (probably) determined
"Siris, I need you to hide in the forest. When it is trapped in the pit, aim for it's eye"
"Understood"
"Everyone else, prepare to attack if the arrow isn't enough to kill it"
I ran to the other side of the open field and made it to the edge of the fores, running was a bitch with my condition. Taking position with my bow, I prepared an arrow aimed at the cyclops eye as it made it's way towards
It looks like Sully got it's attension, pray to Naga she makes it
Here it comes. Focus, the pain means nothing. I can do this
"RAUUUUUUU!" Once more, it's terrifying cry echoed into the night
Good work Sully. The cyclops was almost at the pit, a few more steps and, what?
It's walking around it. It's GODDAMN walking AROUND it, Why do mindless creatures have minds now?! ShitShitShitShitShitShitSHIT!
Maybe if I shoot an arrow into its leg, it would fall to the side. Yes that could work. Focus on the joints even if Chrom's head is in the way. Release
It flew by Chrom's head landed into it's left leg, it paused for moment to get on one knee. This is my chance, aim for the eye. Release
"RAUUUUUU!" Damn, the roar set my arrow off course. One arrow left, I should've asked Virion for more arrows
"I can do this" I pulled out my last arrow, No screwing up now
I aimed, this time the cyclops kept on moving, it's head swaying left and right. Their attacks weren't fazing it, the only attack that seems to harm it was Robin's lightning. I can use that, I'll fire when Robin lands a bolt. The look on her face means we're on the same page
Okay Siris, There's a lot on the line here. One cyclops eye and one arrow
Aim straight for the eye, it pauses for 2 and a half seconds after a shock, fire at this moment
Focus, Re-
ACK! I'm coughing Blood? My chest feels wet. Why is there a red sword in my chest?
PAIN! Vision going blurry, I can't breathe. Damn it, this how I die, to one risen that escaped my sight
"Die" Risen can't talk, and that's a rather feminine voice
"Your kind has no place in this world" Was all I can hear before it ran off
Too much pain. Can't breathe. My blood is suffocating me. Am I going to die here? I feel so weak. I'm sorry everyone, I've failed you. It was stupid of me to think I can be a hero
.
.

No. I'm not dying. Not yet at least, let me save them please, any deity above, give me the strength live for one moment
Using all the strength I had left, I managed to get on one knee. Lucina's with them now, that's good. And again, every time Robin lands a bolt fire an arrow. Oh Gods the pain, it's excruciating
I can do this. Fo*cough*cus, Release. The arrow soared, right into the eye
I had the pleasure of seeing the head of the cyclops being pierced
I did it everyone. At least I die knowing I succeeded. Heh not a bad way to go
And for one last time, darkness embraced me
