Author's Note: FE doesn't belong to me. There, disclaimer done.
Note: First of all, I'm very sorry for updating really slow. I've been busy lately but majority is because I'm feeling sick. And when I'm sick, I know I don't feel incline to write. So I'm really sorry…I'll try to work harder!
So anyways, this chapter is on the second day, where I portray the morning events, centralising on certain members of the Fire Emblem characters. I think I'm going to split all the remaining two days into morning, afternoon and night, therefore making part 1, 2 and 3. But I will only include certain characters for the morning, different ones for afternoon and so on. Hope you have a good time reading!
Chapter 5: Day 2, morning time!
"SAIN! Will you just wake up now!"
The green knight of Caelin stirred from his deep slumber and slowly opened his eyes. Immediately he saw the speaker who appeared to be none other than Hector (again) and yawned. "Oh, it's you, Lord Hector. Thought it was some kind of distorted bull or something…"
"Hmm…mind you repeating that sentence again?" The blue-haired lord said dangerously.
"Uh, no thanks. So, um, good morning Lord Hector…what brings you here in my room in the morning? Are any of the ladies injured or something?" Sain inquired meekly, at the same time feeling deathly tired. "It's a wonder I'm still safe and sound after yesterday, not to mention that I got so many wounds, and later got knocked out by Florina's hair blower… Sain smirked lightly as he cast his mind back to that fateful day.
"You and your ladies…anyway, get your lazy bum up now since I'm going to attend to some matters today."
"Huh? Yeah, go ahead, Lord Hector. Why do I need to wake up? I'm still recovering…"
"Well, are you just pretending to forget or are you just plain stupid? Don't you remember what I said yesterday?"
"…Oh yeah! ………What was it again?"
Hector slapped his forehead. "I just don't understand you. Remember, I asked you to keep Farina at bay from me! If I'm going to attend a meeting today, no way I'll let her embarrass me by chasing after me all around in front of all those all Lycian marquesses! Who knows what these hags will do!"
Sain just smirked in reply. "Oh okay, so you're waking me up because the meeting is going to be held soon, Lord Hector?"
"No, that's not it. Do you want to embarrass me in front of all the Ositia guards? I'll be the centre of the laughing stock! You're to follow me wherever I go in case that crazy money-loving woman appears!"
"…What? …You seriously mean that, Lord Hector?"
"Of course! What else could I mean? I'm not speaking Greek or some kind of silly ancient language you know! (Gets whacked by the Greek ancestors) Oww…"
"…Oh no, I pray hard to Saint Elimine that I will still be alive by the end of the day…"
"Hmph, it's your fault, so it's none of my business to care whether you die or not. Speaking of which, I heard you tried to harass Florina when you first came to Ositia…are you asking for it?" Hector swung his axe dangerously again. Apparently he's always using his axe to threaten people…mean.
Heeding the hazardous warning, Sain quickly denied. "Ah no, no! I was just trying to convey my pleasure in seeing her once more! Surely that is just natural!"
"Hmph, whatever. Just get your lazy ass up right now. I'm expecting you to be out of your room by five minutes. And I mean EXACTLY five minutes. Not even a second more. Got that?"
"…Yes, mummy."
"AND DON"T CALL ME MUMMY! I AIN'T YOUR MUMMY NOW AND FOREVER! I'll think that I'm cursed if I were ever to have a son like you." To emphasize his point, Hector screwed up his face and gave a shudder. Having his say, he then took leave, saying "I'll be waiting outside, timing you. And if Farina comes during that time, I'll ask you to run out and take care of her, even though you're wearing your pants only or even naked. I don't give a damn care."
Sain sighed. "What awaits me today…I wonder what shall be my fate?"
"SAIN! It's exactly five minutes and four seconds! Exactly HOW long you are going to be in your room? What in the world are you doing? Farina can be here any minute!" Hector was once again fuming. High-blood-pressure…
As if replying to those words, all of a sudden the short blue-haired mercenary popped out of nowhere. "Ah HECTOR! You missed me?"
"AHHHHH! THE DEVIL"S ARRIVED!" …Hector's really angry.
"Hmm? What are you talking about a devil? I'm the only one here, right dearie?" Farina smiled sweetly…too sweetly to be her.
Hector's face cracked when he heard the 'dearie'. "DON'T CALL ME DEARIE! ARRGH! YOU'RE THE DEVIL!"
Farina's face dropped for a moment, then she resumed her everlasting 'sweet smile'. "Oh, you're just trying to kid me! Of course I'm no devil, I'm your lover now and forever. Isn't that right, dearie? Eh no, wait, you said you didn't want me to call you 'dearie'…so how about sweetie?" she looked at him blinking her lovey-dovey eyes.
"AHHHHH! You, woman, are just getting on my nerves! I'll teach you not to meddle with me!" Hector then pushed Farina to the wall roughly, holding his axe which he prepared to bash her with.
Being lovesick and crazy, of course Farina chose-no, straightaway believed the opposite. Out of breaths as a cause of cornered by Hector; she then blushed a deep red and looked away shyly. "Oh Hector…I know this is…what you and I both want…but I really think…that it's not the time yet…and it's so open…"
"What the hell are you talking about, woman? …Oh no, don't tell me…you're thinking of that?"
Farina 'blushed' again. "Well yeah…with your actions and all…I know you do love me Hector…but…I… I suppose if you can't wait, then…(she took a deep breath) I'm ready…you can…do it here…" she then closed her eyes and waited for her 'beloved Hector' to start whatever it was. After shutting her eyes for a mere twenty seconds that seemed to her like twenty minutes, she then opened her eyes.
Hector was kneeling on the floor; his eyes wide open as he struggled to breathe.
In a split second Farina kneeled down. "Oh Hector, are you all right! Are you sick?"
"Who wouldn't be with you here?" Hector muttered to himself. Unfortunately for him, Farina only managed to hear 'with you here' and once again, thought wrongly. She then smiled broadly. "Why Hector, I now understand!"
"Yeah, that's soo great. Now if you DO understand, just get going."
"Why yes, of course I-, no, I mean, we will! Hurry, let's go!" Farina then took Hector's hand and made a run across the
corridors, pulling him along.
"Wait a minute, what are you doing pulling me along?"
Farina stopped in surprise. "Why surely, we're going to your room together aren't we! That's why I said 'we'!"
"Huh? What are you talking about? Why should you, of all people, come into MY room?" hector was really bewildered.
Farina in return blushed a deep red and playfully hit him. "Oh you're just so naughty Hector…of course you know what I mean…after all you conveyed it yourself just now, didn't you…?"
"Huh? What EXACTLY did I say? Care to enlighten me?"
Farina then twisted her hands in a girlish way and looked down. (eeww…Farina like that? I must be dreaming to write this…) "Well…you said didn't want to do it at the corridors…so naturally your room would be the right place…right Hector…?"
Hector's eyes once again widened considerably. "What…?" Light finally decided to dawn on him. "Oh no, don't tell me you thought we were ACTUALLY going to do THAT?"
"Well, yes…oh come on Hector! You said it yourself!"
"NO WAY! I NEVER DID! YOU thought so! And if I may say so, you thought VERY wrongly!" Hector thundered at her. "She's thinking of doing THAT with me? Oh gosh, what the hell is she thinking about? I'll never care to do that with her! Pay me a hundred million dollars and I still won't do it! I feel like I can just choke and die now, just thinking of that really just makes my blood boil! She's really dead crazy on me…once Sain's job is done, I'll make sure he pays dearly for this…"
Tears then splashed down, yes, practically splashed down like a fountain, down Farina's cheeks all of a sudden. She then ran away, crying, whining, sobbing, shouting and stuttered all at the same time.
Hector heaved a big sigh of relief. "Oh yeah, at least she won't come near me anymore now that she has turned me down. But then again I never know, that woman might just be so thick-headed...I better find that Sain as my shield if she comes back."
A certain purple-haired mage walked along the corridors of Castle Ositia. His head was practically buried in an Elfire tome, trying his best to master it. Yes, it is our quiet Erk. And yes, you might have thought that he had already mastered that spell during the fights against Nergal, but unfortunately Mark never really sent him into battle. Besides, he was too busy listening to a certain robed shaman who was always talking to him about the wonderful study of dark magic. So now, finally finding time to himself, he now takes the opportunity to study as much as he can.
Too absorbed in the Elfire tome, Erk didn't look in front of him as he walked, resulting in him banging his head against one of the castle strong pillars. "Owwww…" His head was forming a nice big purple bump on his forehead. Ahahahaha. It was so big he could even see it himself as he looked up. "…Ah never mind, it's just a lump. Anyway, it fits my hair colour, so it's fine. (what kind of logic is that?) Better to leave it there than to let Serra heal it…she may just do something wrong like the other day."
Just then, a shrill voice sounded. "ERRRKKK! Wait up!"
"Speak of the devil…here she is now." Erk rolled his eyes in desperation. Would there be no escape for him from this she-demon? He then tried his best to run away from her, but unfortunately for him luck was not on his side today. As he ran across the floors, his 'accident' just now made him a little dizzy, therefore he failed to notice a banana skin on the floor. (don't ask me how come the banana skin is there…) Needless to say, our favourite mage fell and sled across the floor. Mwahahaha. I just love to make Erk suffer don't I?
Seeing what befell Erk, Serra let out a high pitching scream. "AHHHHHH! ERKY'S FALLEN DOWN! I must hurry to save him! It's my rightful duty as a frail, beautiful and kind priestess!" (Oh yeah? Frail indeed. Frail INDEED.) She then rushed to his aid (but taking care not to step on the banana skin) and pulled out a Heal staff. As she kneeled down near him, she cried out loudly. "AHHHH! POOR ERKY'S GOT A BIG LUMP ON HIS FOREHEAD TOO! DON'T WORRY ERKY! I'LL SAVE YOU NOW!"
Erk's head ached badly. Her extremely high-pitched voice was the ultimate cause. He was sure even Nergal would have run away if he heard her voice. Though of course, he had no chance to proof his theory, as Serra was not one of those who were chosen to the final battle. He felt like fainting just hearing her voice. He tried to move away but his legs were cramped. Does fate want to test his ability to sustain his fears?
As if Elimine could only hear her if she spoke loudly, Serra began chanting at the top of her voice. "DEAR SAINT ELIMINE, GIVE ME YOUR BLESSINGS AND BLESS ME THE POWER-, eh wait, I've got it wrong!" Erk rolled his eyes despite his condition and remarked on her words in his mind.
"Never mind, I'll just start again ("Huh, I wonder how long I'll last at this rate.") "DEAR SAINT ELIMINE, BLESS ME WITH YOUR POWER, ("I can't believe Elimine actually accepted her as a cleric…") ENGLUF ME IN YOUR HOLY LIGHT, ("Eheheh, dark light would be more suitable for Serra.") LEND ME YOUR STRENGTH! ("Huh, as if her own strength isn't good enough. I bet even the scariest looking bandit would run away from her like a cowardly chicken after 3 minutes watching her.") I OFFER YOU THE BLESSINGS AND PRAYERS FROM THIS SUPER PRIESTESS. ("Wow…she even compliments herself whenever she does her chanting…she really thinks she's so superior. I wonder Saint Elimine doesn't punish her…") I SEEK YOUR HELP, I ASK OF YOU TO HEAL THE WOUND I HEREBY DECLARE IN THE NAME OF MOTHER EARTH AND FATHER SKY! HEAL!"
A few seconds later, Erk found himself feeling surprisingly a little better. "Well that was a bloody long ritual…" He quickly stood up and turned away. Grudgingly he said thanks to her. Unbeknownst to him as he was facing her with his back, Serra nodded her head vigorously. Aloud she said, "You know, Erky, you really should thank me a lot for saving you. I mean, I did save you a lot of times during our journey fighting against Nergal, right?"
Erk's brows furrowed. "As usual, she is using entirely confounding logic…talking to her is always and forever a never-ending headache for me…" Keeping his calm, he tried to avoid her question and walked off stiffly.
Serra's eyes widened in anger. He was just going to ignore her like that as if she was some rubbish? No way would she, the best priestess of all in the whole of Lycia, would stand this treatment thrown at her! "YOU JUST HOLD YOUR TONGUE, SERVANT! YOU WOULD SPEAK THUS TO YOUR LADY AND LIEGE!"
Pausing for a while, Erk frowned. Servant…he was certainly no servant, and certainly not a servant of hers. He then continued walking away.
Seeing that she had failed to make him apologise to her, she then hurriedly caught up to him. "Hey! Erk wait up!"
Erk rolled his eyes. "Will my nightmare ever be over?" …Good question, Erk. Thing is, I don't think I'm gonna let you go that fast. Teeheehee. Too bad.
"Shucks." And that was all Erk said.
A/N: Yay! There, chapter 5 done! First of all, I want to say that I did take some sentences from the ErkSerra C support as I found them suitable. Credit definitely goes to the game creators.
Since this morning is centred on Hector/Sain/Farina and Erk/Serra, I plan on the afternoon Priscilla/Raven/Guy and Rath/Lyn. Of course, Lyn is still chasing after Eliwood, I'll ask Rath to do something. Mwahaha. I hope I did this chapter well. Please make comments and review! Thank you!
Oh and to K-Gforever, I'm glad you liked the parts in chapter 4. Thanks a lot for reviewing!
