Authors Note: Here's the third chapter. Have fun!
--------------------------------------------------
Eli took me to Pharae with me, with Marcus and Lowen as his escorts. I ended up telling them my story, also, as I had a feeling that I could trust them with it. They were both hesitant, but believed me.
Damn straight they ended up believing me. If they hadn't, I would've ended up attempting to fight them.
...Now that I think about that more, that would've been a terrible idea. A wimpy, white kid from a small city versus two knights? You guys do the math.
Once we got there, I signed up as a personal knight to Eliwood, with him, Marcus, and a Hero, Harken, training me every one of their free moments.
For my free time, I spent most of it in the castles vast library, studying about the land, such as learning what plants were edible, usual climate during months, all of the stuff needed for an adventure.
...Oh, I forgot to mention, didn't I?
After that skirmish, I remember a FEW things, such as Nergal bringing me here, and two incidents that'll take place soon, and very vaugely one happening in twenty years, along with what happens in the other Fire Emblem Worlds.
I hope I'm not here for twenty years, I want to eat some Chips Ahoy. And speaking of food...
Best food I've ever had,
Ever,
Was here. So many spices, but it's subtle. Ever more flavors from the fresh ingredients, too boot.
Erm... And it doesn't taste like crap...? I have no idea how to put it.
I also got to know Marquess Pharae better, and I told him my tale, also. So that makes Eli, Marcus, Lowen, and the Marquess.
Why do I feel as though I can trust them...?
Maybe they play an important role in Blazing Sword...
Well, it's not as though I'm freely telling everyone about my life. I know Harkens bride-to-be, Isadora, is dying to know, and I have a feeling I can trust her, also, but I dunno... It's kinda fun to watch her examine me in curiousity.
If you want some, babe, all you have to do is ask.
...
Joking...
Also, I have no idea how, but my MP3 never runs out of power here on Elibe.
It's cool, really. I could listen to it falling asleep. I wonder how that'd effect my dreams...?
Wait, getting really off-topic here. Stopping right about...
Everyone knows you're sexy, hyper hyper~
Here.
Anyway, one day, Eli came up to me, and said he's leaving Pharae to go to have a sparring match with his best friend, Hector.
Hector!
Oh good God, man. How could I forget Hector?
Better yet, how does one forget Hector? He's in two Fire Emblem games, I think...
Yeah... Fuck, back to on subject time.
"And I want you to come with me." Eli said.
I fell over laughing so hard.
...Okay, not really, but I might have if I didn't have a morsel of self-control.
"Really, Lord Eli?"
"Don't call me Lord, David."
"But it's your title."
"I'd rather you call me Eliwood, or, your nickname for me, Eli."
Yeah, Eli IS a cool name...
Maybe I should've put that on that test answer for the one FaceBook survey...
"In a fight, I doubt I could be of much use..."
"Don't worry, Marcus and Harken are coming with also. If they are any problems, we shall take care of them."
I nodded hesitantly, wanting to be able to do something when it comes to a fight.
I went to the castles armory, and grabbed a Steel Sword and armor. Not a heavy kind like a Knights, more light, like a Soldiers. *1
I placed them in my room, and spied a Fire tome with a letter sticking out from it on my bunk. I pulled out the letter, and started reading it,
"David, my dear eager student,
I heard you're leaving with Lord Eliwood on a trip. I heard the area surrounding the destination is filled with brigands,
and you're swordplay not as great as Lord Eliwoods. What you do have, though, is magic. Use it well.
-Lady Emily"
Sweet. I have to remember to get something for Lady Emily, my Anima magic teacher, something when I return.
I put on my new cloths, pocketed my MP3 and glasses case into the sewn in pockets, sheathed my sword, and packed a small knapsack with my present from Lady Emi-
Wait.
Emily.
Now that I think about it, she DOES look like Tamashii... *2
Well, Jocelyn DID say they grabbed others from Earth...
With my luck, Jizg and Solace will be here also.
...Not my good, my bad.
I kid, Jizg, Solace and I are tight.
Also, now that I think about it, Lady Emily DOES hang around a lance Paladin...
This has been bugging me also... I doubt there are people who look any race that isn't really an anime-ish around here, but Lady Emily and the helmed Paladin hang around with a Chinese Assassin.
Panda?
I'll investigate after I return...
I finished packing, and went off to the front gates where Eli and his escorts, Marcus, Harken, and Lowen were waiting.
"Ready to go!"
"David! A knight is not to keep his Lord waiting just to pack, he is to do it quickly!" Marcus lectured.
"Yes sir!" I saluted him, cracking my back when I snapped up, "Ow..."
--------------------------------------------------
It took about half a week to arrive, but we eventually made it to our destination, Kathelet. Eli said that we were going to stay for about a week, then return to Pharae.
...This seems like a familiar scene...
Maybe it was a memory of what happens that the creature took from me...
We arrived at the inn we were going to stay in. Lowen and Marcus shared a room, which I truly felt bad for Lowen for, Harken and I shared a room, and Eli stayed in one of the "royal" rooms, which was reserved forany nobles.
Good for if you want any privacy...
Okay, I really do need to stop with these jokes...
...
Nah, I'm just fine with making them.
We had a day before Eliwood was to meet up with Hector, so Harken took Eliwood and I out back to continue our training, with Marcus training Lowen.
We retired from training early, and sat down at their bar, which suprisingly, I was let into. There were a pair of siblings on the stage performi-
Nils and Ninian!
Ninian was in the front dancing, and Nils was in the backround, playing his flute.
They're a lot better in person then on an emulator, Game Boy Advanced, SP, DS, or DS Lite.
...Wow, a live event I actually care for.
They performed though out the night, and got several people asking for repeats. "Eli, what do you think about that girl?" I asked, the thought quickly coming back to me.
This caught Eliwood off guard, "Erm..."
I chuckled, "We'll leave it right there..."
They finished, and we retired. The next day arose, and we made out way to the main hall.
"Please! Somebody... Somebody, please help!"
We all looked at each other, and leaned in closer,
"That's enough! Get out now! I want none of your trouble!"
"But sir... Why? You were so kind yesterday..."
At this point, an Elimine monk came up beside us.
Lucius! I wanted so bad to say, "Hey Lucy, wazzup?", but again, I have to show self-control.
"I thought your were just two kids, a couple of traveling performers... If those men are chasing you, you must be up to no good! Now get up and get out! You're a plague on decent folk!"
Harsh...
"But..." The innkeeper glared at Nils, and he sighed, leaving.
"Whew... What a mess."
The monk mused to himself, and left.
"...Well, Eli? What do we do?"
"Lord Eliwood, I don't think it'd be a good idea to get ourselves involved in others affairs."
"Just like how you interrupted me on my first day at Castle Pharae?" I snapped, glaring at him, "Where's your honor as a knight, not wanting to helping the helpless?"
Eli and Marcus looked at me, and they both nodded, "Let's go." Eli said, unsheathing his rapier.
"David..." Marcus started, "You're right."
I smiled, "I'm sorry for snapping, I understand your wanting to keep Eli safe..."
I quickly left for my room, snagging my Steel Sword and Fire tomb, Harken grabbing his Brave Sword, and Marcus getting his Silver Lance, then going to the back to untie his horse.
I raced ahead, it was closely coming back to me. "Eli! They have his sister!"
"How do you-"
"I'm slowly remembering! Come on, Harken, Eli!"
