Gaius and Panne yayayayayayyayay! Speaking of which those ridges in castles that were like windows and such where soldiers who shoot arrows from for defending a castle I don't know what their called so pop that in a comment.
"Orton, Vasto I have a bad feeling that something is going to go down here." The prince said simply picking at his food.
"Why's that milord?" Vasto said after gulping down a piece of bear meat
"I'm edgy ya know but I can't help it that I feel that someone is so post to die today." Blake said now just staring at his food.
"Hmm you think you know who?" Orton said after gulping down a glass of water.
"I can't say but it's scent it feels similar somehow." Blake said
"That's right sirs" A voice said startling the group to stand up Orton and Vasto going straight for their axes Blake putting his hand on the Tyrfing handle in case.
"Who are you?" Blake said with Vasto and Orton at his side axes ready at the call.
"You may call me Marth." Marth said
"Marth? The idiot of legend?" Orton said causing the "he she" to flinch
"Marth saved the world." Marth stated after a minute
"Gnarnef wasn't any better now speak of your purpose or I'll order my lieutenants to cut you down if you try something." Blake said eyes beaming into the mans "womans" eyes in his "her" mask.
"The Exalt is going to die today." Marth stated silently glad for the change of topic
"I bet top dollar its a she." Blake said smirking
"Five bucks" The two lieutenants said Marth's eye brow was raised.
"When's it going to happen?" Blake continued
"I can't tell you that." Marth stated
"Why come here if you can't say when if you actually know the answer to that question?" Vasto saying with a devilish grin.
"That's enough Vasto go prepare the Plegians and warn the Ylisseans." Blake said looking at Vasto causing him to only stare at the masked lady blankly for a moment before putting his axe on his back and walking away.
"Thank you for that." Marth said
"I didn't say your allowed to be glad but fine then you are going to follow us or else." Blake said looking at her butterfly mask.
"Or else what?" Marth asked reaching for her sword.
"I'll summon the guards and have you tied up for breaking and entering a castle and put on a fair trial." Blake said walking up to her.
"Whats your business with prince Chrom." Marth stated
"A royal who's trying to save her county from doom from Gangrel and succeed I went to the enemy of my nation to put our differences aside and stop Gangrel and bring the supposed Prince as my friend." Blake said furrowing his brows.
"You speak so ill of the prince why?" Marth said
"He hasn't proved to me yet now oh and as we were speaking Orton was tying you up." Blake said Marth now realizing she was tied up.
"What are you doing!?The future is disarray!" Marth tried not to yell.
"Your future is not my problem Lucina now stand up to attention Orton and I are going to guide you to Emmeryn and Chrom but the mask comes off Orton?" Blake said Orton nodded and proceeded to take off the mask.
"Don't! Wait how did you?" Lucina asked as the mask was coming off bangs coming down.
"I saw the brand in your eye and read Chrom's diary for a girl Lucina for a boy Inigo and if it's another girl Kjelle." Blake stated as he followed the tied up child.
"You mustn't!" She said trying not to screech.
"I won't let him know or see the brand." Blake said looking at Orton who nodded but just then Lyn or Severa came running up.
"Blake! Let her go! She one of my friends!" Lyn said pointing causing Orton to look to Blake who just said.
"You heard Lyn let her go but she does not leave this castle period." Blake said walking off Orton staying with the girls.
"Um Orton could I get some privacy?!" Severa barked
"No and don't worry about your father he doesn't know yet." Orton stated
"Wait how did you?" Severa was interrupted
"Blake doesn't keep a dairy of names and two your brand is covered on your hand with a glove and unlike Blake I would spot a legacy of his from a mile away sooner then Vasto even but don't worry your secrets are safe with me though I'll never understand why you want to wear that stupid mask but that ain't my business." Orton said firmly scratching his head
"Thank you Orton your more approachable then Vasto is apparently". Lucina said
"It's what I do girls it's what I do now I should catch up with Blake before he does something stupid to your mother like …. dancing." Orton said starting to walk away.
"Why is that a-"Lucina tried to ask
"Don't even ask Lucina" Severa said shushing her
Before anyone knew it night fell
"Hmm what a great night." Blake said looking over the castle walls
"Mind if I keep you company?" Cordelia said walking up to him
"Hmm? Oh hey Cordy." Blake said looking at her then back at the moon.
"Surprised to find you here at night thought I me and Sumia were the only ones who liked to come here and get fresh air or admire the moon." Cordelia said crossing her arms on the castle ridge like Blake.
"Second to that Cordy." Blake replied
"Why do you keep calling me Cordy?" Cordelia asked looking at him
"It's cute your cute its a win win." Blake said shrugging causing Cordelia to spike a bit of red.
"I'm not cute." She firmly said breaking her form and placing a fist on the ridge.
"Yeah right Cordelia." Blake said standing up
"I'm not perfect sure my beauty is unsurpassed by many but I try my best an-" Cordelia said but Blake interrupted her
"There's no try"
"Huh?" Cordelia said looking straight at him
"I may fail You may fail but there is no try." Blake said putting a hand on her shoulder
"But I must not fail my lord I must-" Cordelia was interrupted again
"Why is being perfect so important to you?" Blake said putting his arm down
"I... ugh please promise to keep it a secret Blake." Cordelia asked and Blake nodded crossing his arms and leaning on the wall for support.
"Were do I even start …. Oh I know my fellow riders."
"What about them?" Blake asked
"They call me genius because I want to be perfect so badly and I don't think of them as my friends there all veterans I...m not and I just sometimes can't take it being teased with that word." Cordelia said trying to be stay straight.
"So?"
"So? What do you mean so?" Cordelia said hints of anger
"Teasing mean's nothing compared to how well you get things down Cordelia do not let that cloud your judgment." Blake said putting a finger in the middle of her face.
"But that-" Cordelia was interrupted
"Buts are for going to the bathroom and people with no excuses left so don't let it cloud your judgment and if perfect means so much to you and sure you were or are pinning for Chrom but he's nothing compared to what you are don't forget it Cordelia." Blake said to her standing straight arms at his sides.
"But what if I'm not good enough?" Cordelia asked him and Blake immediately hugged her causing her to ask.
"Why?"
"Cordelia like Orton and Vasto your important to me just as much as Chrom and as I hear you talk your closing your eyes when your future in front of you shinning, besides Cordelia life is to short to take it slow so have some fun before you close your eyes for good." Blake stated with a smile letting her go left had still on her right arm with him pointing at the moon.
"Your futures shining bright Cordelia more then you like to think so leave your perfect little world and lighten up and besides..." Blake said stopping
"What?"
"It's quiet." Blake said letting go of her and looking around
"Too quiet." Blake continued
"Yeah... Your right." She said reaching for the knive she carried around for self defense.
"Cordelia …... Warn the guards!" Blake said bolting towards the lower level and reaching for his sword.
"What!?" Cordelia said
"Now!" He yelled running almost frantically.
"Don't think I'm pinning for Chrom anymore Blaky" Cordelia said running towards the exalts room.
Blakes side
"I give nicknames to girls I have a crush on Cordy." Blake said running towards the orange thief.
Cordelia's side
"Cordelia? Whats wrong?" Phila asked
"Blake spotted something …... told me to warn the guards he was quite frantic about it." Cordelia said in between breaths.
"Oh no ….Orton he's here." Vasto said looking at her fellow lieutenant
"Who?" Orton asked
"Him Quickly now! Ready the Plegians fast!" Vasto barked
"Alright! Alright!" Orton said realizing whom it was
"You guys do the same fast!" Vasto said turning at them then running down the halls for his axe .
Few minutes later Plegians and Ylisseans were fighting together against the enemy
"Blake! There you are!" Blake said running up to them blood coming down his side.
"Gaius come on we'll defend you!" He said turning around
"I'm coming Bubbles!" He said
"Meet Gaius he's the thief who brought in the Grimleal." Blake said pointing at him then a assassin dropped to the floor trying to stab the prince but bunny claws killed the man.
"Thanks Panne." Blake said sticking a thumb up for good job
"Don't bother manspawn." She replied coming out of bunny form.
"This is Panne one of the last of the taguel she's gonna help us just like Gaius." He said then Maribelle came riding over.
"I see your injured Blake let me help." She said getting off her horse to mend Blake's wound.
"First time I've seen you bleed before." Chrom remarked
"I don't bleed." He replied
"There the deed is done." She said finishing up.
"Thanks Maribelle you've been most helpful and that was fast." Blake said
"Speaking of which head over to Lissa's side there's to many injuries for her to fix at once Gaius Panne head over there too." Blake continued and Maribelle nodded got on her horse and darted over to the princesses side and the thief and bunny nodded and went with her.
"Who was the person that was so bad that it caused this fight?" Chrom asked
"It's obviously Validar." Blake responded
"Who?"
"My dad Chrom." Blake said unsheathing Tyrffing
"Wait what?" Chrom asked dumbfounded
"I'll explain later." He said
"Why?" Chrom asked him narrowing his eyes
"Besides I thought you father died to Tyran" Chrom continued
"Did I say that? I meant adoptive father and I know Validar is here." Blake said extending his sword.
"How?" Chrom asked
"Because he's behind me." Blake said and his mark begun to glow on his hand
"What do we have here? Oh Oh! You are a live one." A snake beady man said taking out two soldiers guarding a entrance.
"Validar." Blake said turning around
"Call me father child." Validar said
"No."
"Chrom I'll drive him back with as much power as Grima can give send back up fast after your done." Blake continued then pointing his sword at the snake eyed man.
"This is madness." Chrom said
"Madness? No this is life." Blake said before bolting at Validar.
"You dare appose your own blood?!" Validar said being knocked back by Tyrfing's dark light.
"You never cared!" Blake shot back
"Seems I must teach you a lesson child now …. Join him!" Validar shouted before shouting a fire ball at Blake but Blake put his sword in front of himself cutting a perfect cut through the ball of fire, Validar shot another fireball when the smoke cleared Knocking the Tyrfing out of his hands.
"Get ready!" Blake shouted before his mark glowed brighter Validar shot another ball of fire from his elfire but Blake ran right through it and now Validar was restraining Blake like he was wrestling a bear tome in hand closed or so he thought.
"Enough of this! Boy!" Validar shouted
"No enough of you" Blake said and looked at his tome Validar noticed this and looked at his tome which appeared to be stabbed in the middle of the symbolwith a very small dagger.
"Noooo!" Validar shouted before Blake hugged him
"Sorry birth father." Blake said silently before the tome exploded the two sending the prince into the wall landing in a tree.
Few minutes later
"Panne do you smell him?" Orton asked
"I smell him but his scent smells almost dead." She said before pointing forward at that tree, Chrom ran over with Maribelle and Lissa along with Vasto and Orton.
"Guys!" Cordelia said running over
"Cordelia what you doing here?" Vasto asked
"I want to see how Blake is." She replied
"OH GAWDS!" Lissa screamed
"What is it? Orton and Vasto yelled and Cordelia looked over frantically
"Blake he's …. He's."
"He's what out with it!" Vasto yelled
"He's barely breathing." Lissa responded
