Hello again! Thanks again to akkiangel and fireemblemPRO for their reviews. Here is the next chapter to Dragon's Time and hopefully it will be longer than chapter 1!

Chapter 2

Help From an Unknown Ally

Lyn had been practicing for hours now and she noticed that it was about mid-afternoon and she hadn't had anything to eat yet. As if agreeing with her, her stomach growled and she laughed. "I guess I better head home now and get something to eat." Lyn said as she headed toward her small home.

She had been walking for awhile now seeing as she had run to her training field this morning to help wake herself up and had reached a hill that was about another 20 minute walk from her home. She was about to start up the hill when a voice called out to her.

"Girly! You, on the hill; is your name Lyndis?" Lyn turned around to see a large man pointing toward her. She couldn't see the man since he was hiding in the shade of an oak tree but she didn't like what he'd asked her. "Why do you want to know?" Lyn called back and she placed her hand on her sword in case she needed it.

In return the mysterious man just laughed at her; his voice disgusted her. "What? Do you really think that weapon will help you? That's useless girly. I need to take you to my boss, so you'd better just come with me and make it easy."

The man came out of the shadows and what Lyn saw was horrific. The man's face was tanned but there was a large purple colored scare running from his forehead to his chin. He had eyes that were red and hair that looked green. His hands were large and his nails looked sharp; sharp enough to slash away flesh. He was a big man and appeared to be wearing a uniform of sorts. He wore dark blue pants and a dark green shirt with a strange symbol on the back. He had a large sword attached to his waist band and when he smiled his teeth looked more like fangs.

"Who in Mother Earth's name are you?" Lyn cried as she pulled her sword out fully and got into a fighting stance. "Someone looking for a certain pair of girls for my boss; and unfortunately your one of them lassie. Now come on out boys and lets get what we came for." The mysterious man cried as 12 men appeared from the shadows.

'I can't handle all of these men. Some of them don't even look human." Lyn thought as she moved backward a little and got into a lower stance. The men were just about to lunge at her when they heard a cry of pain. The leader, the man who had called out to Lyn, looked behind him only to have the dead body of a lackey thrown at him. He fell backward as he threw the body off of him. "Who the hell could've done that? You got friends out here don't you lassie? Well too bad because your coming with us whether you want to or not."

With that said the leader charged at Lyn as she prepared herself for his attack. He was only a few feet away from Lyn when he cried out in pain. As he fell to the ground Lyn and his 'army' saw that there was a strange looking silver dagger stuck in his back, it had a large blade but 2 smaller ones as if to help hold it. 'Where did that come from?' Lyn thought as she stared at the man cursing under his breath as he tried to get up.

One man was about to charge Lyn when a black figure appeared in front of him, blocking his way. He charged toward them instead only to have a deadly looking blade come out of his back as he was stabbed through his stomach. When he fell Lyn looked up at the black figure only to see that he wore a black cape that hid his whole body and had a black hood covering his face.

All at once the rest of the men charged at the mysterious figure. The figure moved aside for every attack and killed about 5 of the men with a long, silver dagger that matched the one in the leader's back. Lyn then realized that the leader was missing from the place he was at last. She wondered where he was as she searched the area only to find out that he was not running away or hiding in the shadows. It was only until she saw a large sword behind her that she knew he planned to attack her from behind. With lighting fast speed Lyn flipped backward, over the bandits head, and stabbed his shoulder.

He yelled out in pain and grabbed Lyn's sword. He pulled it out of his shoulder and let his wound bleed and he faced Lyn and smiled. "Your going to have to do better than that to kill me lassie. I guess the boss can have a live captive and a dead one. The name's Lydel. I thought you might want to know the name of the man who killed you, now come! " the man cried as he pulled his sword toward Lyn.

He rushed toward Lyn and sliced her stomach before bringing his back leg up for a kick.

Lyn saw this coming and slid sideways to avoid his kick. She then brought her sword back and smacked him in the head with the flat side of her sword. As Lydel shuffled backwards Lyn planned her next attack.

Lydel recovered quickly and punched Lyn in the stomach. He grabbed her by her long hair and threw her into a rock wall nearby. Lyn cursed for being distracted. 'How could I be so careless? I should have interpreted that move and added my own.' Lyn looked up and wiped some blood off her lip and chin. She got up quickly and charged toward Lydel, catching him off-guard.

Lyn jumped up and kicked his gut. When she landed she brought her foot out and swept it under his body causing him to trip. Lyn turned to help the mysterious figure only to find only one man left from the remaining 5. He was trying to run backward, away from the figure when he threw his dagger. It hit the man right in his heart and he fell down dead, just like the rest of his comrades. Lyn turned around thinking Lydel was on the ground but found him ready to stab her in her heart.

With quick thinking Lyn lowered her body and raised her arm to block his sword. His sword went into her arm, causing a large gash to appear due to the sword's size, saving her from a fatal attack. She moved her arm to the side and with her remaining strength stabbed him threw the heart. He looked horrified as he fell to the ground, blood staining the ground around him.

Lyn sighed as she got up and looked at him. Her body hurt from some minor wounds and the larger ones she had received from Lydel. She looked down at him again when he started to speak to her.

"You are a good opponent lassie, but others will come for you and they won't stop until my boss has you or your dead." Lydel laughed and blood leaked down his chin. "Who else were you looking for?" Lyn cried as she tried to get some answers. Lydel looked toward the mysterious figure and smiled…. "Her." He spoke as he pointed to the black figure and fell onto the ground….dead.

Lyn looked up only to see the figure was indeed a girl and no older than herself…maybe even younger. She was about to move toward her when the girl spoke, "I will come see you again Lyndis…Farewell until then." Then the girl disappeared. Lyn sighed again as she headed home….. 'Why are those people after me? And who is that girl and why did it feel as if I'd known her.' Lyn continued on home and when she arrived headed straight for bed. It was already night and she was still tired after her battle. 'These questions will just have to wait until tomorrow.' Lyn thought as she fell asleep thinking about the mysterious girl.

How was it? I think I did a better job this time and it only took 2 hours! R&R!

Here's the preview for chapter 3!

Reunion and Memories Returned?

"You're that girl from yesterday. Thank you for saving me. I owe you my life."

"Don't' you remember me Lyn?"

"You can't be! What's going on and what are these memories?"

"Those are from your forgotten past Lyn. Remember your parents and mine, my mother Elicia, my father, Christopher, and me Lyn. Remember me Lyn, Rayne."
