Chapter 3

Reunion and Memories Returned?

Lyndis had woken up late in the day. She still hurt a little from her battle with Lydel and she was set on training today so she knew she had to get up. Lyndis got up slowly and got dressed. She ate some fruit and headed toward her door. She opened her door and walked outside. She started walking when she noticed a letter on the ground a few feet in front of her door.

"I wonder who this could be from..." Lyndis said as she tore open the envelope.

Letter…

Dear Lyn,

I have some wonderful news Lyn! Everyone missed you so much we are all coming to Sacae to see you. I can't wait, I have to show you how much stronger I've gotten! Hector will not stop pestering me and I still have trouble talking to men so it's really been hard on me. I believe Eliwood was the one who suggested we see you.

It will be so great to see you again. Fiora and Farina are looking forward to see you as well as the whole army. Rath, Kent and Eliwood sill blush whenever someone mentions your name. We are going to stay awhile so I can see you all I want! I will see you soon!

This was written on the 12th by the way and we should arrive at your home on the 16th.

Ever your friend,

Florina

Lyn looked up from the letter and smiled. 'Florina really missed me didn't she? And everyone else missed me too. Isn't tomorrow the 16th? Wow this is shocking.' Lyn put the letter into a small pocket in the side of her dress and continued walking.

She trained until it was late into the night and when she got home and ate dinner in was almost past 11. (A/N: I don't know how they told time so I'm just using my time.)

She was just about to go to bed when she heard a knock on her door. Lyn cautiously crept to her door; in case it was a bandit, and swung it open with her sword drawn. She walked outside and saw no one there.

"What in Mother Earth is going on?" Lyn said as she started to head back inside. She was just about to close the door when she noticed another note nearby her door. 'Again?' she thought as she opened it and read its contents.

Note

Come to the Waterfall Spring at Midnight…

Lyn looked at the note again and realized it was almost midnight now. She quickly rushed toward the Waterfall Spring, hoping she wasn't falling into some sort of trap or anything of the sort.

When Lyn got to the spring the moonlight shined on the water making the whole little area sparkle and shine. Lyn looked around but saw no one around. She yelled out hoping to get anyone's attention but all was silent except for the roar of the waterfall. Lyn started to back up only to hear something.

"Wait! Lyn, please!" Lyn looked for the owner of the voice and found the mysterious girl from yesterday standing behind her. She could see the girl clearly now and to be honest she looked different but beautiful at the same time. She had long waist length blonde hair with silver streaks and the ends an icy blue color. She had matching icy blue eyes and still wore the black cloak from yesterday's battle that covered her whole body.

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

who are you and how do you know my name?" "Don't you remember me Lyn?" the girl spoke as she stepped forward. "Oh wait. Of course you wouldn't remember…yet that is. I'm sorry for the late interruption, you actually know me really well."

Lyn thought about this. "I'm afraid I don't know you." Lyn stated as she moved to sit down. "As I said, you will remember. This will hurt a moment but please deal with it." The girl said as she moved her finger over Lyn's head and it started to glow.

Before Lyn could do anything she found herself looking at her dream/memory again only this time it was clearer. She saw her parents again, Elicia, Christopher and that little girl again only this time the little girl was out by her parents. She had blonde hair with silver and blue in it. 'Wait isn't that?' "Yes that was me Lyn. My mother and my father are with your parents. We both grew up together, shared secrets, shared a life. Then on the day our parents died my mother erased your memories."

"You can't be! What's going on and what are these memories?" Lyn screamed as she held her head while she twisted and turned. "Those are from your forgotten past Lyn. Remember your parents and mine, my mother Elicia, my father, Christopher, and me Lyn. Remember me, Rayne."

Lyn screamed as her whole life flashed through her mind, her real life. She saw her life with her parents, with Elicia and Christopher, and her life with Rayne. She saw how everything happened the right way and she finally knew the truth. The last thing she saw was the day her parents died; the day Rayne's parents died and the day she forgot her best friend.

She saw a younger version of herself and Rayne crying over the death of both their parents. Rayne's mother yelled at Rayne to run and while Rayne regretfully ran away Elicia erased Lyn's memories, and then joined her friends in death's sweet embrace.

Lyn sat up with a start only to see the darkness of the night and the face of a worried Rayne. "Lyn, are you alright? I didn't mean to hurt you but you had to remember. I needed..." Rayne broke off with a sob and tried to continue but found it hard to speak.

Lyn looked at Rayne with something new in her eyes. Before Rayne could realize what was going on Lyn was hugging her and they were both crying, loud and hard. They both told each other how much they missed each other and what was going on in each others lives.

"We should go back to my home. We will rest and then talk more in the morning." Lyn suggested as both girls stood up and headed toward Lyn's hut. When they both got inside Lyn looked around for a pillow and blanket before handing them both to Rayne. She went into her room and quickly changed into her night clothes. "Here I brought you…" Lyn stopped talking when she noticed Rayne curled up in a ball sound asleep.

"Goodnight Rayne." Lyn whispered as she headed into her own bed and quickly fell asleep. The morning came too quickly for Lyn as she got out of bed and changed. She walked into the next room and smiled as she saw Rayne still asleep. She was just about to wake her up when she heard many voices outside.

Lyn got up and walked out her door only to see all of her old friends slowly headed her way. Florina was the first to see her. "Lady Lyn!" she screamed as she flew in front of Lyn, hoped off of Duey (A/N: I like that name even though I heard it's not the real name of her pegasus.) and hugged Lyn with all her strength. Lyn laughed and everyone came to greet her. She was surprised when Kathryn hugged her from behind and graced her with a big smile. She looked over all her friends and saw how much they changed. She saw Eliwood and smiled but it faltered when she saw Ninian holding onto his arm.

Before anyone could say a word Lyn hushed them with a smile. "You're going to wake her up." Lyn playfully scolded as she turned to her hut. Florina looked puzzled. "Who are you talking about?" Fiora, Florina's sister asked. Lyn looked toward them and was about to answer when Serra yelled out, "Who's that?" Everyone looked toward Lyn's hut to see Rayne, only she was covered from head to toe in her cloak so no one could see any part of her.

As everyone got into attacking positions, assuming she was an enemy, Lyn laughed loudly. Everyone looked at her like she was mad but Lyn said, "She's my guest. This is my long time friend Rayne. Florina, you should remember her a little bit. We all played together when we were younger. Florina apparently remembered because she shyly walked toward Rayne and hugged her. She quickly let go and gave Rayne a big smile.

"Rayne it's good to see you again." Florina replied before returning to Duey's side. "Come up here Rayne and meet everyone." Lyn replied as she dragged Rayne in front of everyone. Hector went up to her and held out his hand. Rayne grabbed it and shook it while he presented her with a small smile. Everyone then greeted the two girls, Lyn with hugs and small talks about how she was missed and Rayne with 'hello' and 'how are you.'

Rayne noticed how everyone was looking at her strangely and knew they were wondering why she was hiding her face. She whispered a small sorry as she lowered her hood and showed her face to everyone. The first thing that happened was Serra hugging her tightly, squealing about how cute she was. Everyone laughed as Rayne turned different shades of red and Kathryn wrestled Serra away from Rayne.

Things seemed to be going well for Lyn and Rayne... but things are not always what they seem.

Chapter 4

New Enemies and a New Journey.

"What are these things?" Sain cried as the hideous creatures advanced toward the large army.

"I think there war-goblins. Human sized monsters that are colored green and have orange eyes and a very short temper. They're also very dumb and fight for about almost any reason." Kathryn stated as she studied the large group blocking there path.

The goblin leader walked in front of his army and called out to Eliwood's Elite. "If you're hiding Lyndis of Sacae and Rayne of the Dark Crystliums you better leave'em with us before you get hurt. My boss wants those two real bad so you'd better run now." At this Kathryn swore she heard Rath and Kent hiss in response.

Before Kathryn could direct anyone Rayne walked forward and yelled out to him. "I don't know who you are and who you're working for but you're not going to get me without a fight." With that said Rayne ran right for the goblin leader.
