K-Gforever: Hah! Finally, another chapter:) I'm sorry I took so long. Band camp's been holding me back.
Jaffar: As well as laziness.
K-Gforever: Yup, keep going at it. I'm only the one who decides your fate in this story.
Jaffar: O.O K-G doesn't own anything of value!
A New Past ch4
New Mission
Jaffar opened his eyes to find himself in the Black Fang infirmary. "What am I doing here?" As if to remind him of the previous night's events, his wound started to throb again. He looked over at his arm to see a rookie nurse wrapping his arm for him. "Oh you're awake, that's good. You've gone through five bandages, but it looks like the bleeding is stopping." She smiled at him. "I'll go get your clothes, I washed them for you." She stood up and walked away, but before she fully exited the room she turned to him and said, "And do not move."Jaffar just frowned after her and lay his head back on the pillow. Fatigue was taking over him again and he slowly closed his eyes...
Young Jeremy sat on a large throne-like chair at the right side of his father at a table full of wonderful food, every one was around him singing the Birthday song. He wore a small silver crown on his head , smiling from ear to ear and was blushing. Apparently, it was his fifth birthday that day. When the song finished he blew on the candles of his birthday cake and everyone cheered as all of them went off. "What did you wish for, Jeremy?" He looked over to his little brother, Eliwood and smiled, "If I told you then it won't come true!"
After the large feast and opening of the presents, the children were playing games while the parent's laughed, watched and chatted with each other. Jeremy was playing tag with a group of children, and was it at the moment. He ran after them as they squealed and ran away. Jeremy was close to catching one young girl and wasn't going to let her get away. They ran around behind the bushes before he was able to catch her. He had grabbed her hand and was about to take off when quite suddenly, the girl had grabbed his arm and kissed him on the lips before taking off again saying "You're it!" and giggling. Jeremy was quite pink, " ...Ew! I've got girl cooties!"
Jaffar woke up once again. He looked over to his side to see, his clothes neatly folded. "How long have I been out this time?"He looked out the window next to him. It was quite dark now, but he figured the rest did him some good, he no longer felt dizzy or light-headed. He also saw a trey of soup that was probably cold by now, but didn't care, he was hungry. It didn't taste too bad for being cold medical food. When he finished, he got dressed and left without another thought.
Jaffar had goten to his room when curiosity took over. He went to the only mirror in his room, pulled back his hood and folded his right ear forward. His eyes widdened when he saw a small scar, right at the spot that Jeremy got cut in his dream! He shook his head, "It couldn't be...could it?" Before he could bive it a nother thought, there was a knock at his door. He went to open the door, he already knew that it was one of Nergal's morphs. He opened the door and got a response right away from a random morph. "Lady Sonia wishes to have an audience with you. Jaffar nodded and closed his door once again. He grabbed his daggers, and right before he left, he, for some reason, felt he had to take his pendant. He put it on and tucked it into his cape to conceal it. "Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me...It's probably just meer coincidence that I had a dreem about that boy getting cut there." He decited to dismiss anymore thouthght about it.
Jaffar met Sonia at the main hall, "Ah, my sweet Angel, I'll be meeting with the King of Bern momentarily, he has need of our...services." Jaffar bowed and stood to her left as a guard. Just then, the King came in, though he was covered from head to tow with a large traveler's cloak, Jaffar could still see the air of dignity this man carried with him. He nodded to Sonia, "I'm glad you're willing to do this job for me. And I hope for nothing less than success from your Black Fang as the first job." Jaffar remembered that mission to steal the Fire Emblem. It had been made relatively easy by the king's helpfulness in secret passages and rotation of guards. The King had replaced it with a fake until he thought it was appropriate to point out the disappearance, ten days until the prince's ceremony.
"I now need you to have someone assassinate the Prince. I'll get rid of all the high guards. You'll need to take care of the rest, by seeking in and doing the job quick. Don't forget a scape goat or this'll cause massive chaos for a while." He waited for Sonia's response.
She smiled and said with a sort of sarcastic air, "Of course, my King, anything for Your Highness." He king nodded once again and left. She turned to Jaffar, "Meet me in the mission hall in twenty minutes," she turned and left through a special opening.
O.O
When Jaffar came to the mission hall he saw Brendan Reed leaving in haste, Jaffar wondered what that was about and was about to investigate when he heard Sonia call out to him. He instantly appeared into the room with skill. Nino was surprised to see him, "Jaffar! Should you be up? Don't your wounds hurt?" Jaffar just looked back at her.
"Jaffar, must you be so discourteous? It's really quite irritating!"Sonia snapped, "You heard the King's request, did you not?"
Jaffar turned his attention to Sonia, "The prince...he wants him assassinated." Nino gasped, "The king wants his own son dead!" Sonia held her hand out, "Silence!" Nino apologized and took a step away. "Jaffar this mission is yours and..." she smirked and looked at Nino, "you're to take Nino with you."
Jaffar's eye's widened then narrowed, "You're not serious?" Sonia looked back at Jaffar with a frown, "Yes, I'm serious. My daughter must prove herself soon and what better to have someone as skilled as you make sure she does this right?" She held up her hand to stop Jaffar from saying anything else, "I'll brook no disagreement. We must have the king in our debt. Those were Lord Nergal's explicit orders." "..."Jaffar nodded. Sonia turned back to Nino, "You understand the consequences of failure don't you?" Nino nodded, "Er, yes ma'am." Sonia nodded, "Then we're off to investigate the prince's manse. I'll provide more details on the way there."
They all stepped out side, and Sonia called out to a Bishop who was off at a distance talking to some of the troops, "Kennieth!" He seemed to jump for a second and then came running towards them, "Yes Lady Sonia?" She looked around, "Where's Brendan?" "He went outside with Jan." Sonia raised and eye brow, "I wonder what's he's about...I'll deal with it later. Listen-"
Jaffar ignored the rest of Sonia's conversation with Kennieth. That was of no importance to him at the moment. He just looked at the young Nino. He guessed she was about four or five years younger than him yet, she still had an air of innocence. It was obvious that she had never killed anyone in her life. She as already getting nervous over this mission, and they weren't even there yet. He looked back at Sonia, "You better know what your doing Sonia..."
O.Later.O
Eliwood held a Red,Circle-shaped stone in his hands. It had and engraving of fire and an ancient text."This must be the Fire Emblem." "Obviously," Hector commented over Eliwood's shoulder. Eliwood shot him a look. Lloyd gave a sharp gasp, "I didn't even know we had it!" Lyn looked at him, "Now do you see what Nergal's been doing to the Black Fang?" Lloyd nodded.
Samus was talking to the new guy, Karel trying to calm him down. "Yo, the fight's over! Stop stabbing the corpses! Hey, gah, I give up!" She walked off with her hand's in the air. Kristal just looked at the mutilation. "Egh...Hope he doesn't have any family members like that..."
O.O
K-Gforever: I hope I didn't lose my touch. ; Ok as an explanation to my two tactitions:
Samus: She's the head tactition and is good at it. Is level headed most of the time. Unless someone does something stupid then she goes spinning off the handle.
Kristal: She's the younger inexperienced tactition. She prefers to use her dark magic when it comes down to it. She's only a tactition in case of emergencies.
