Fire Emblem The Sacaen Bride
I do not own fire Emblem.
Chapter 9
Graham, The blind falconer, had left the lands of lord Revlin at dawn the very next day. He always had Scourge to fly ahead a call him forward so he could walk whatever path he was on. Though he knew many paths by memory of direction, he was very unfamiliar with the Ostian territory. He was always thinking about how he would handle the presumed the assassin. All he had was a description in his mind's eye and that was all. He allowed himself a sit down just outside of Ostia's Capital. He would have just sat there had he not heard some noise to his right.
Scourge went over to the right and started to attack a set of bushes. Two men came out of the bushes. One was tall with Green hair and Grey eyes. Next to him was an equally tall man with black hair and grey eyes. They looked at the falconer. The oldest one walked over to him and said, "Sorry for sneaking up on you. My name is Kessler Yunari. And that is my younger brother, Halbern. Who are you?"
Graham said, "I am Graham and I was sent here to prevent Lord Hector from being assassinated by woman named Lyn." Kessler looked at the young man with surprise. "Lord Revlin said that she was sent here to kill him so that she could take over his kingdom."
Kessler was thinking about how poor this young man was for believing such a story. But he said, "What if we help you find this assassin?"
Graham asked, "And why should I trust you to help me with my mission? What kind of guarantee do I have?"
Halbern said, "You have our word that we will help you find this assassin. Once we speak we are forbidden to lie. Such is the law of the people of sacae."
No soon as he had finished that sentence then Graham had risen from sitting position and readied his staff to attack. He said with venom, "You liars. The people of Sacae know not how to speak in any thing other than lies. Lord Revlin told me that you would stab any body in the back just to see them bleed."
Halbern drew his lance and stared at Graham. He said, "I hate to tell you this boy but your Lord Revlin was describing himself. But, if you insist on fighting with us then we will strike you down."
Graham smiled and said, "You savages will not be able to hurt me, for you will be beaten by my power." He then raised his staff above his head and shouted, "Forblaze!" A huge fireball fell from the sky threatening to engulf the brothers. They dodged it with extreme difficulty.
Kessler drew two killing edges while Halbern kept his lance at the ready. They both ran forward and cried, "Rage of the Plains!" Their weapons missed their marks as Graham jumped out of the way. He raised his staff again and pointed it at the ground and called, "Anima Guardian of Earth, Disaster." A huge rock creature appeared before them. The brothers readied there weapons to strike at the colossus while Graham escaped.
He ran towards the castle with Scourge guiding him. He reached the gates and broke through them with ease. When he entered the castle he saw confronted by Karel, Guy, and Matthew. They didn't waste time with words. They ran tried to rush him. He knocked them all back with a swish of his staff. He then raised again and called, "Anima Guardian of Wind, Zephyr." All of a sudden in front of them stood a figure wearing a war kimono and dawning a sword that looked like a katana made from jade. Graham said, "Keep them distracted until I have the assassin under my spell." The figure nodded and set it's sword at the ready. He was feeling a little weak at that moment. He already had another guardian summoned. And every minute that they stayed in the material plain he would get weaker.
Scourge led him up stairs into a drawing room. Hector was waiting there with the Armad ready to strike. Graham said, "I am glad you're safe my Lord. Where is the assassin I was sent to apprehend?"
Lyn spoke from behind Hector, "Have you been sent to take me to Lord Revlin?"
He rounded on her with a scowl on his face. He said, "Damned harlot. How dare you come to kill lord Hector? Lord Revlin shall torture you until you wish you were dead but it will cleanse the sin from your poison body. Let me ask you witch, How many people have you slept with and killed?" She remained silent and he said, "If you will not answer me than you will answer him either way. Scourge! Attack her!" The falcon remained on his shoulder. He then said, "Scourge only refuses to attack those who are innocent. But then that means that Lord Revlin was wrong. But he is never wrong."
Hector walked over to the young man and said, "He has a lot more under his belt than the lies he has told you. If you will not listen to anyone else than at least listen to me. I will tell you everything that I know."
Graham then said, "All right." He raised his staff and said, "I dispel you my guardians. Return to the earth and wind." He then felt in a haze. He fell down exhausted.
Who knew that he could do that and even use such powerful spells. Don't worry about him seeming too powerful though. He can't really use them without weakening his energy. Well anyway, R&R or You'll find yourself in the land of cute and fluffy things. That is a torture in itself just by thinking about it.
