Why do I like making Cordelia threatening? Because its fun
"So how's My good maid?" Blake asked the maid
"I'm good Milord but I hear your little Girl is a handful and-" the maiden was interrupted by Cordelia with her walking in
"I don't understand what game you have but if you even think and I even get the slightest hint your going to kill Chrom I … I will end you." Cordelia stated
"You know Cordy your cute when your threatening me and also I don't have to reason to kill Chrom he hasn't given me one and besides …..." Blake ended without finishing
"What?" Cordelia asked
Blake got up and grabbed the maid's wrist and then screamed at the top of his lungs "MORGAN! CORDELIA WANTS YOU GIVE HER A HUG AND DON'T LET GO!" Then Blake hid behind the desk taking the maid with him leaving Cordelia with a wtf face Then Morgan came in Bolting through the door almost knocking it off it's hinges with Morgan screaming while latched onto Cordelia
"Mommy! Mommy!"
"Get off me please!" Cordelia screamed back
"Isn't this cruel?" The maid asked to Blake
"Very much so but it's funny and it brings Cordelia miss amusement and Morgan gets to latch her self onto someone elses body aside from mine and Emmeryn's …... say maiden whats your name?"
"Rosie" She replied
"Ah" Then the two continued to watch Cordelia struggle to Get the cheerful Morgan off of her hips
"How does she not let go after like four minutes?" Rosie asked after looking at the clock
"Good question" Blake replied
Then the two heard laughter and looked over to see Lissa and Chrom, Vaike and Sumia laughing well Sumia was having difficulty not doing so.
"This isn't funny Sumia!" Cordelia yelled back at the group
"Yes it is Morgan is holding onto her mother so you best get used to the hugs before Sumia trips and falls into some feels." Blake added and now Cordelia was laughing at Sumia
"It's not funny Cordelia!" Sumia yelled at her
"Blake stop teasing the shepherds" Frederick stated calmly and everyone went silent except Morgan
"Awww but I like teasing people" Blake said coming out with the maid
"Stop" Frederick said
"Fine" Blake said crossing his arms
"Good" Frederick said and left prompting everyone else In the group leaving a bewildered Cordelia
"Why didn't you try to rat me out?" Cordelia asked with a curious expression
"There's try you do it without hesitation besides thats what friends are for even if they threaten your life oh and Rosie take the day off till three o clock when Morgan wakes up." Blake said with a grin on his face.
"Oh come on!" Cordelia said
Transition to Emmeryn
"So tell me more about yourself Blake and do you mind sharing me your story behind the Tyrfing?"Emmeryn asked Blake
"Whats there to say? I'm a simple man that shares a love for his people... but there is a story behind the Tyrfing I can share *Ahem* The Tyrfing made from Grima's tusk but while all remnants of Grima would disappear if Grima died by the hands of his own vessel then everything made with or from Grima himself will disappear the Tyrfing won't since Falchion wasn't destroyed and the sword it self will only disappear if Falchion is destroyed but there's a catch that no one catches."
"And that is?"Emmeryn asked
"The Tyrfing was born first."
"Really?" said a shocked Emmeryn
"Yep you see Emm the Falchion was born one hundred years after the Tyrfing and besides you can't have darkness without light and vice versa for the Falchion it will be so dull it can't cut paper but for the Tyrfing it has two trials you must pass in order to actually use it number one you must pick it up but if you can't because of the said person doesn't have the fellblood blood line but if you have the blood and you pick it up the first trail is passed." Blake stated
"Whats the second?"Emmeryn asked
"You must be able to do magic and if you can't the sword will then collapse you to the ground making you extremely tired to the point you can't fight with it anymore."
"How does magic play into this?" Emmeryn asked sipping her water
"It plays a giant role you see dark magic and the fire emblem it self plays a giant role in reawakening Grima himself by bringing him back to life and you see in other universe as we speak you could be telling me this stuff and I could be Naga's son and Falchion would have be born during the holy war and vice versa again except Naga would be the angry one but anyways you know while we're speaking about our own nations legends and swords tell me about Marth." Blake asked changing the topic taking a bit out of his apple.
"It's said he went down as the Hero King for his Ideals and the evil he fought against Medeus but wait wouldn't that make Medeus Grima himself?" Emmeryn asked after talking about the hero king
"Medeus couldn't be Grima since the dragon went so loose canon and he never made a pact with anyone so he didn't actually survive despite him saying He'll be back but how I think it is that Medeus was so mad his subordinate Grima who at the time wasn't as angry was able to control the darkness once Medeus pasted becoming the new dragon of death he was able to maintain order and be able to form a pact with people the first person being Gharnef the sorcerer and despite taking on the responsibility of being sealed away for the next millennia … so when you think of it being like that it isn't that all cracked up to be."
"Sure there's holes in my theory but its the best I could come up with and when I said Gharnef formed the pact you'd think he would have formed one with Medeus but Medeus hated People so much he got angry and Threw Gharnef out so the sorc went for the next best thing Grima." Blake continued
"Hmm that could be correct but not much is known behind Grima's origins and wait didn't it say the hero king sealed Grima away?" Emmeryn then asked
"In what way? Grima wasn't known that time and Medeus was the main problem so how could Marth seal away a dragon that wasn't even heard of at the time?" Blake answered drinking some tea
"Who knows maybe your theory could be the right one and may I ask you what will happen when you do retake your throne?" Emmeryn which caused Blake to abruptly put down his tea
"I must be engaged to a woman and take a queen by my side to continue the lineage while many don't understand the stress behind choosing a bride but..." Blake said leaving some hesitation
"Problem?" Emmeryn asked
"I'm not ready for a commitment to another person sure I dedicated my self to my own people how do you dedicate your life to one person and your people at the same time it just never worked out and don't get me wrong sure there may be someone out there for me but if she doesn't meet the standards of the age gap." Blake continued
"Age gap?" Emmeryn asked again
"In Plegia we follow a rule that I personally think many others should follow where the woman and man , bride and groom are near the same age so when its time for them to pass they pass with each other into Grima's grip or Naga's haven." Blake finished
"Wow I actually understood that Blake thank you." Emmeryn said
"Speaking of which how come you didn't go with Chrom when he said the shepherds were going to Ferox?" Emmeryn continued
"My talents weren't needed for this mission besides how will the khan's respond when the prince of Plegia her self shows and well lets just say the brigands that were causing tensions between Ylisse and Ferox and besides Chrom will come up with a work around so I wasn't needed." Blake replied
"Aren't you his tactician?" Emmeryn asked
"Yes I am but this is voluntary work and-"Blake was interrupted by a messenger running in
"Your Grace! Your Grace! The farfort is in danger! Villagers kidnapped! Brigands! The messenger yelled.
"I'm on it Emmeryn send over Some Pegasus knights and a medic I'll grab a horse and make my way there." Blake said getting up then walking to the door but the messenger stopped him.
"Milord you can take my horse be sure to return her. Her names Asta."
"Name?" He asked
"Jackal the messenger" Blake nodded and took the messenger with him to fetch the horse but this time Emmeryn stopped him.
"Blake if you see these aren't Plegian Brigands don't try to parley with them"
"Wasn't planning on it." He replied before walking out with the Jackal
Transition To Cordelia
"I'm so sorry Cordelia that Morgan was glued to your leg." Rosie said
"It's fine It's Blake's fault anyways frankly I'm surprised that the crown trusts that prince... Chrom no less." She responded
"Oh he ain't so bad when you get to know him Morgan's a handful though." Rosie responded
"Now I hope we can continue our conversation later and-" Cordelia was interrupted by Captain Phila
"Cordelia there you are! Come on we got to go to the farfort there's a brigand attack get your pegasus and we can meet Blake there."
"Blake! I can't follow orders under that prince!" Cordelia exclaimed
"I understand your predicament with this lord but he understands this very well and he's the only one available at the time since lord Chrom is out to Ferox making a treaty." Phila explained
"As you command captain" Cordelia responded
At the farfort an half an hour on pegasus later
"Keep running no matter what till I get ma folks help ma said just hope I yall make it in time" Donnel said outloud
"There he is! Get that boy!" Brigand yelled outloud
"Oh! Now yonder looks like I'm done for ma I'm sorry but I'm not done running."
"Neither am I done running boy!" A voice said and next thing Donnel saw a bright light and the brigand being stabbed in the chest then the brigand knocked the man off his horse then the man came into view he was wearing a checkered red grayish white suit that was the attire of a lord and the man had a black cape but somehow this felt familiar to Donnel but then he watched the man block the axe dodge put one hand on his hip and put his sword end facing towards the ground then he heard one word come out when this happened
"Gotcha" the man then did a full circle around the brigand when the brigand struck and next thing the brigand knew his entire back was bleeding with him then a few seconds later he laid dead in front of Donnel watched the man put away the sword walk up to Donnel and ask him.
"Are you alright boy?"
"I'm fine stranger I'm-" the man cut off Donnel
"I know who you are Donny" Donnel then came to a surprising conclusion
"Prince Blake!" Donnel yelled out and when Donnel yelled out the same sentence was heard along side flapping sounds.
"Prince Blake! We're here and as promised the pegasus knights are under your command." Captain Phila said
"Phila do you have a spare bronze lance?" Blake said looking at Donnel
"Yes why?" She asked
"Can you hand one to me please?" At this Phila looked at Cordelia and she got off and handed a bronze lance and then this surprised both Phila and Cordelia, Blake handed Donnel the spear and he caught it clumsily.
"But I can't fight Milordyness.!" Donnel exclaimed
"Chrom would give you the same answer as I would sickles not far from a sword and you know this the terrain better then I do since I was here for a long time you will be placed with me and Captain Phila can you scout were the archers are placed but be careful I don't want deaths on my hands or yours."
"Why not send me to my death hmm Blake?" Cordelia added
"I'm not sending anyone to their deaths Phila's pegasus she will be able to get scout and get out fast enough so we know where to go to take out the archers. Donnel you stay with me,Cordelia you will protect the medic, now Phila you will rendezvous here after you have seen where the archers are once we know me and Donnel will take them out once their done rendezvous to the ground and fight if you see us struggling to fight rendezvous and get us out of there kapeesh?
"Understood!" Phila took off and a few moments later she returned with a map and then she circled where the archers we're placed Donnel and Blake nodded and got on Asta and got going."
"You sure the man knows what he's doing captain?" Cordelia asked Phila
"Trust me I saw the records on how well he did when the prince found him we're in good hands now You heard his orders now lets take off!" Phila yelled while reassuring Cordelia
"You sure this is safe Milordyness?" Donnel asked
"Not at all Donnel, Not at all"
After a few moments the archers were dead and the pegasus knights joined the fray Donnel was riding Asta and Blake was right beside him the whole time.
"Tempest!" Blake screamed out and threw up the Tyrfing and jumped while Roddick was distracted long enough by the lord, Blake grabbed the Tyrfing in mid air and then Roddick and Blake were locked in combat and Cordelia quickly changed her opinion on the man when she watched in awe how quickly the brigands fell and watched the fight out of the corner of her eye to see Donnel stab Roddick with the lance in the back of his head a few moments later.
Soon after the leader fell the brigands quickly died off so she motioned Caeda to land next to Donnel and Blake with Blake greeting her.
"I thought you didn't want to be anywhere near me Cordy."
"I was wrong about you" She said
"What that I'm datable?" He responded
"Your still a smart aleck but I mean when I thought you were here to kill Prince Chrom and-" Blake interrupted her
"Cordelia I was only being a dick to you because you didn't trust me enough but since that's past we're friends now if you have anything you need help with don't be afraid to ask and since I see that Phila and the others are finishing up there lets go check up on the villagers ….. Donnel mind bring Asta?
"I will Milordyness"
"Donnel! A woman exclaimed running up to Donnel giving him a huge hug before saying out
"I thought you were killed boy! I ….. I who is this?" She said pointing at Blake and Donnel responded
"Its our old friend Prince Blake of Plegia he saved me over yonder when a brigand almost caught me.
"Bow to the man Donnel!"
"He did and frankly Donnel I have question for you." Blake said
"And whats that partner?" He responded
"How would you like to become a shepherd were you can hone your skills to protect lives like the people of this village." Blake said
"What my boy can't fight! He-"Blake interrupted her
"Donnel saved me and avenged his father by killing Roddick himself if he doesn't want to that's his decision besides I'm asking this as a friend not as a command …. so what will it be Donnel you joining or are you not?" Blake said Donnel responded quickly
"Yes I am so lets get my whatever it is so lets git er done!"
And to this Blake only smiled.
