A New Past ch 3
Meetings
Jaffar looked out of the window watching the rain poor. He was in a cabin that was about half a mile away from the city. He had to wait till the break of dawn to go hunt down this traitor. Until then, he had nothing to do. He flopped over on the bed remembering the meeting at the snow base. Sonia had told them that their ultimate mission was to kill Eliwood and his mercenaries. Jaffar thought back to how gullible the Reed brothers were for believing that this Eliwood was evil. It was almost laughable.
The constant rain seemed to have been soothing and as he lay on the bed, it didn't help.The next thing he knew, he was struggling to keep his eyes open. They got heavier and heavier until he slowly drifted into a peaceful...slumber...
O.O
"Da-er, father, you won't fire Mr. Edward will you? It was mostly my fault." Jeremy sat on the nurse's bed with his head wrapped up. He didn't need it but he thought he looked like a real warrior with his 'battle wounds.' Before his father could answer, a young voice rang out.
"Broder!" Jeremy looked at his little brother running towards him with his cute worried expression on his face. He still had yet to fully pronounce "brother" The boy seemed to be no older than 3 years old.
"Eliwood, what's the matter?" Jeremy asked.
"I heard that you got your ear cut off by Mr. Ed!" The young boy bounced on the balls of his feet.
"Oh it's just a scratch son. Your brother, will be just fine!" Elbert laughed. The little red-head sucked his thumb. He was amazed how brave his big brother was after a 'serious wound'.
"You will make a good marcus broder," He said in awe. He knew that he would not ever become the Marquis of Pherae but didn't mind. He knew that his brother would become the greatest marquis in the history of Elibe.
Jeremy nodded his head, "Yes, I'm going to be the best marquis Pherae has ever had! -ever had -ever ha-fade
O.O
Jaffar slowly opened his eyes. The rain had stopped and the sun was barely peaking out over the land. It was time for his mission to begin. He stepped out of the door, stretched, and...relived himself. (He's human too you know) The grass was soaked in the morning dew, and the fog was starting to role in. 'Let's do this,' He thought. He decided that the dreams were just wild creations of his unconsciousness and decided to just ignore them for now.
He neared the village and decided to hide in a near by tree. He jumped in almost landing on a bird's nest. 'Damn it!' He thought as the bird started to make a racket. He grabbed it and chopped it's head off. He decided not to mess with the eggs since they'd die anyway. He looked back to the village to see his target exiting from the rear as expected. "Shit..." Jaffar gripped his daggers tighter. The traitor had 3 knights and 2 nomad troopers with him this would prove tougher than he first thought, but he wasn't going to give up. He waited till they got closer to his hiding place.
The tall brown haired man came closer and closer. Suddenly a shadow jumped out of the trees and sliced his head off clean. The knights and troopers were surprised but got out of shock quickly. Jaffar tried to escape but found that he was completely surrounded. He looked at the circle of menacing knights and troopers. He got distracted and cried out loud when he felt pain surge through him. He looked down at his left arm to see and arrow protruding from it. He yanked it out. The trooper who shot the bow was already notching another arrow. In a flash he was down on the ground in a pool of his own blood. That seemed to be the signal for the rest of them to attack. Jaffar dodged under lances and bows, he ran around the knights and stabbed them on the backs of their heads instantly killing them.
All was left was the last trooper who already had an arrow ready for him. He shot it and everything seemed to move in slow motion as Jaffar charged straight for it, caught in mid air, and threw it back as hard as he could to distract the nomad. When the nomad had to block the arrow he was oppen for Jaffar to get on the horse and stab the trooper in the back. It seemed as if the trooper was finished but, Jaffar felt pain on his left arm as the nomad trooper had sliced behind him in his last attempt. The trooper smirked has he felt his sword hit flesh, then he fell off of his horse taking Jaffar with him. Jaffar stood and pulled his dagger out of the other man's back. The horses got spooked as they saw that their riders were now dead and ran off. Jaffar frowned, it would now take even longer than before. "Better hurry..." he grumbled to himself.
He approached the cabin with a limp. As Jaffar neared the door he heard a voice from inside. He grabbed his daggers, ready for any attack or enemy that awaited him. He crept closer and placed his ear on the door. He then recognized the voice and put his daggers away, then opened the door stumbling in.
The green haired girl jumped, "Waah! Don't...don't scare me like that, Jaffar. What's wrong? You're never late-" she saw the cut on his arm but couldn't get a good view of it since he covered it right away.
Jaffar looked at her directly in the eyes, "The mission took longer than expected, you've my next mission? Hurry... give it to me."
Nino remembered, "Oh yes, I almost forgot, mother gave this to me-" Jaffar reached for the scroll revealing his wound. "Wha-what happened?"
Jaffar tried to hid his wound again, "It's nothing, just a scratch. Give me...my next mission..." Nino ran to his side.
"Scratches don't bleed like that. Let me see," she attempted to grab his arm while Jaffar tried to back away from her but, instead, bumped into the wall. "It's nothing!...Give me...my next..." He felt faint. "Ugh...give..." he blacked out and slumped over. Nino caught him and dragged him to the bed. "Jaffar! Come on wake up! Oh...what should I do?"
O.O
Lloyd woke up on the ground surrounded by a wavern rider, a hero, a berserker, and- "Legault!" Lloyd sat up, "You're a traitor now!"
Legault made a 'calm down' motion with his hands, "Listen, Lloyd, these people aren't bad at all. Turnes out, Sonia's been using your father. She's working for that creepy guy Nergal. He's got some half-baked plan to bring dragons back to this world." Through all of this, Lloyd just gave him a weird look.
"...What?" this all didn't compute to Lloyd.
"He's right," they all looked to see the lord Eliwood approaching. "Nergal killed my father." Up till then, Lloyd didn't seem to be moved by all of this. Two young girls approached.
"He's right you know." said Samus, "Why don't you join us?" Lloyd scratched the back of his head.
"Well...I-" He looked at Lyn. He suddenly saw that she was Sacean. He knew, for a fact that no matter what, Saceans never lied. He also saw the trustworthiness in her. "You, is Eliwood plotting something evil?"
Lyn was caught off guard by this question, "Why no, of course Eliwood is not evil. Nergal and his minions are."
Eliwood pointed out, "I also know that the Black Fang is not evil as well but you just listen to orders like the diciplined solders that you are. Uhai was an honorable man as well."
"Uhai?" Lloyd looked at the ground deep in his thoughts. Then came to a conclusion, "I'll join you. But, I need to inform my brother."
Hector was not going to wait for who knows how long for this guy. "Listen, we're kind of in a hurry. Why don't you leave a note or something?"
Lloyd sighed, "Fine." So he wrote a note explaining his disappearance, and left it in the castle for his brother to find. The army then left to their next destination.
But about half an hour later
Linus was on the floor over the body of Lloyd. "...brother...I will avenge you!" He grabbed he sword and went off.
In the shadows a dark figure spoke as if to herself. "Lord Nergal, it worked. Linus Reed believes that his brother is now dead." In truth, Lamistella had destroyed the note and made a fake body of Lloyd to fool the beef-head Linus.
O.O
Jaffar opened his eyes to see big blue ones right over him. He jumped slightly from surprise. "Hi! I'm Nino, we've met before, remember? How's your arm?" She backed away as Jaffar tried to sit up.
"Ugh...why didn't you kill me?" He got up and walked menacing towards her.
Nino was surprised at this, "What? I couldn't do that..."
Jaffar started feeling faint again, "ugh...it's the law of the Fang...Sacrifice the week to salvage the strong..." Everything started swirling. He started to wobble then just fell over. Nino was able to catch his head before any damage could be done.
She looked at is wound, "Oh, it's bleeding again! What should I do?" She started to sob as she felt helpless.
O.O
