Chapter 5
Meeting with the General named Ichigo.
After Sain kept following Rayne and Florina with no intention of stopping, Kathryn had knocked him out with another dark magic book she had gotten from Canas. She told Rath and Hector to take him back to his tent seeing as he would be out for the rest of the night.
"Speaking of night I believe we should all retire for the night; seeing as how late it is." Canas spoke as he motioned toward the dark sky.
"I agree, good night everyone." Lord Pent said as he and his wife headed for there own tent. Everyone also followed there example and headed toward there own tents. While everyone walked away Kathryn, Rayne and Florina carefully lifted the now semi-awake Lyn up and slowly started to carry her to her hut.
Rayne noticed that 3 men were watching them. 'They must really care for Lyn. She will be alright...I'll make sure of it.' With that thought Rayne stopped the group and told them to get Lyn's bed ready and she would carry the now sleeping lord to her bed. Florina and Kathryn nodded and after placing Lyn carefully on Rayne's back they both walked toward the hut.
Rayne slowly started to walk, careful not to loose her grip on her injured friend. 'Why is someone coming after us? Why are we being attacked? Is it because of my heritage, is this my fault?' Rayne slowly shook the thoughts from her head. She had to get Lyn and herself inside and the looks from a certain caviler, nomad and lord were not helping. Within a few minutes Lyn and herself plus Florina and Kathryn were safely tucked away under warm blankets sleeping peacefully.
3 days later
Everyone was up and eating. Lyn had been asleep for two days and had woken up yesterday when Serra came barging in yelling about how 'Priscilla was trying to steal her poor Erky'. Lyn had stared at Serra for a few moments with a strange expression on her face before telling her that everything would be alright. Serra smiled at this and quietly thanked Lyn. She then ran out of the hut and Lyn could hear her say she was going to go practice her magic.
Lyn had then forced everyone to let her out of bed and to let her train. She had to put on an old brown dress that belonged to her mother since her old dress had been torn close to shreds. Lady Louise offered to watch Lyn and everyone agreed not entirely liking the idea. Lyn was now completely healed and walking around like nothing happened to her. She truly was a strong warrior. "Lyn! The girls and I have something for you!" Florina called out to her friend from the hut where almost half of the female army was entering.
Lyn looked back at Lord Pent, who she was talking to at the time, smiled as she said an apology and headed toward her home. When she got inside she noticed all the females looking at her strangely. "We know your clothes were ripped almost to shreds yesterday so we all made you an outfit that you could wear." Isadora spoke as she smiled. "We hope you like it Lyn." Serra smiled when she saw Lyn's surprised look.
Lyn looked around the room and studied all the girls who were here, in her hut to give her a new outfit that they had all made themselves. 'Florina, Kathryn, Isadora, Rayne, Serra, Rebecca, Fiora, Lady Louise, Nino and even Karla and Farina.' Lyn didn't know what to say as her eyes started to water a little bit. "Before you start to thank us you might want to see your outfit Lyn. I'm sure you'll like it. Everyone put there own ideas in Rayne gave us a design for you." Lady Louise said as she hugged the young lord.
Lyn nodded her head and waited for the presentation of her gift. The girls in front her laughed and gently pushed Florina forward with a bundle in her arms. She pushed the bundle into Lyn's arms and scurried backward until she was in her sisters' arms with a big smile on her face. Lyn looked down and unfolded the bundle. When she saw her outfit she was amazed. It was gorgeous and perfect for battle at the same time.
It was a long, sleeveless dark blue dress with slits that went to her hips. It had 2 green blossoms sewed on to the bottom on the dress that matched Lyn's long hair. Lyn noticed there was more to the outfit when she stood up and tried to put it down to thank her friends. There was a pair of shorts tucked under the dress that had fallen out when Lyn stood up. They were black and made of a comfortable material that was soft.
Lyn looked up only to see Lady Louise standing in front of her with more items. She nodded her head and Lyn took them wordlessly. First there was a pair of new knee-high black boots with a dark blue design on each. Next Lyn picked up a pair of elbow length dark blue gloves with Lyn's named sewed on them in green silk. Lastly Lyn looked at the new black leather armor her friends had given her for her protection and a dark green sash to wrap around her waist that completed the dress.
Lyn looked up wordlessly and ran to hug her friends. She gave them a large smile and laughed. "I love them! Thank you everyone!" Lyn practically screamed to her friends, something she NEVER did. (A/N: I'm making Lyn happy! Oops…ignore me sorry!) Before Lyn could go put on her new outfit Nino stopped her. "Wait Rayne has the last part for you." Lyn looked at Rayne as she handed her a folded cloak.
Lyn opened the cloak and immediately smiled. It looked like Rayne's cloak. It was long enough that it reached her ankles and big enough to cover her entire body and keep her warm. It was pure black like all of Rayne's clothes but on the inside it was a deep navy color. The inside was made out of a soft, silky material that Lyn guessed would be warm when it grew colder.
Lyn looked up to see everyone looking at her with hopeful glances. She gave them each a big smile and went to put her new clothes on. The girls all smiled at each other and walked outside. Lyn joined them a few minutes later with her cloak hugged around her body.
"Lyn I have to go and get my swords." Rayne said suddenly. "What do you mean Rayne? The swords your parents gave you?" Lyn asked as Rayne nodded her head. "I left them at my 'home' that I have been living in for the past few years. I left them there to keep them safe so no one would get them…but now I need them back." Rayne spoke as she looked at the ground.
"Then I'll have to accompany you and make sure no harm comes to you, Lady Rayne!" Sain spoke coming out of nowhere and making all the girls jump back in surprise. "Sain what in hell do you think your doing!?" Kathryn cried getting out her black magic spell book. Sain took one look at her and ran away with Kathryn right on his trail and the group of girls laughing.
After the laughter stopped Lady Louise's face turned serious. She turned toward Rayne and gave her a small smile. "I don't think anyone will mind if we go to your home, Rayne. In fact, almost everyone was discussing about taking you and Lyn to Caelin, or Ostia or Pherae for your protection." Rayne looked up and saw everyone giving her a smile and Lyn's confused face. "Wait a minute…you were all planning on taking myself and Rayne away for our PROTECTION when we can hold our own in a FIGHT and without even TELLING US!?" Lyn cried.
Florina had a look of fear on her face but Serra just blurted out, "Yes we did." Lyn looked annoyed but didn't reply. "Well why don't we go tell Lord Eliwood, Lord Hector and Lady Kathryn our plans." Fiora said as tried to calm down Florina who was literally having a fit. The girls all nodded there heads and started walking toward the large army. "Wait! We should split up…it'll be easier to find them in this big army." Nino suggested as she ran in front of everyone to stop them.
Farina yelled out that the new 'plan' would be a success and took off running with Fiora and Florina running after her yelling at her to stop. The others fell over anime style. (A/N: I LOVE to do that!!) "Okay then, Rebecca and I will run after them and we'll all look for Lord Hector. Nino, you, Karla, Serra and Isadora go look for Lady Kathryn and Lyn, you and Rayne will go look for Lord Eliwood. Is that okay?" asked Lady Louise. The girls shook their heads yes and ran off with there groups to find the 'leading lords'…and Kathryn too…
With Lady Louise's group
Lady Louise and Rebecca ran quickly to catch the girls. They caught up only a minute later when they found Florina in Lord Hector's arms and him laying on top of her, both blushing with Fiora on top of them, Matthew on top of her and Farina on the very top, laughing her ass off. Apparently from what Farina was trying to tell them she was still running very fast when she bumped into Matthew who was talking to Hector. The three of them were all off balance when Florina and Fiora bumped into them.
Florina was falling backwards but Hector grabbed her in his arms which caused him to fall onto top of her. Fiora then tripped over Farina and fell onto her sister and the blue haired lord. Matthew then lost his balance and fell on top of the small pile which left Farina who just jumped on top and started to laugh.
Rebecca and Lady Louise just looked at the pile and then looked at each other with sweat drops on there heads. (A/N: Hahahahahahaha! No I am NOT crazy!) After helping everyone up Rebecca turned toward Hector and started to tell him about the girls plan.
With Nino's Group
Nino's small group had NO trouble in finding Kathryn. After running in the direction Kathryn was last seen going in the group stopped and was about to yell out Kathryn's name when they heard something that sound like yelling. The group moved closer to the sound and Karla told everyone it sounded like Kathryn's voice.
Nino, overjoyed that the group found Kathryn so soon, ran out into the open field with the others quickly following her only to stop and gawk at what Kathryn was doing to poor Sain. From what Isadora and the others could see Kathryn had chased Sain up a tree and was now firing numerous dark magic spells at him. Sain was up near the top of the tree, crying out at Kathryn that he was sorry and not to kill him. Isadora looked astounded while Serra, Nino and Karla burst out laughing.
This caused Kathryn to stop and look at the girls and wave. Kathryn started to run towards the small group of girls and only turned around when she heard Sain cry out and a loud crash sound followed. Sain had just fallen out of the tree. Kathryn looked at him and turned back toward Nino and the others, smiled and asked what was up while Isadora told her of the plan.
With Lyn and Rayne
Lyn and Rayne had been walking around looking for Eliwood for a few minutes now. Every time they asked someone if they've seen the red headed lord the person would always say the same thing, 'You just missed him.' It was growing annoying.
The two warriors were growing tired of hearing the same thing and decided to split up themselves. Rayne went toward the direction where Eliwood was spotted ten minutes ago and Lyn in the direction he was headed 5 minutes ago.
Shortly after separating Lyn walked toward a small forest, which was the only place she hadn't looked yet. She walked inside and looked around. She couldn't see anything but she could most definitely hear something. It sounded like someone was training, but why here in this forest? And alone for that matter…whoever it was---was going to get a serious talk from Lyn. And with that thought Lyn headed straight for the clearing ahead.
Rayne on the other hand had found Ninian near-by and had asked her if she had seen Eliwood. "No I haven't," Ninian replied with a sad look, "He left to go train and Nils ran off to play with Guy and Matthew so here I am alone. I wish Lord Eliwood would come back..." Rayne just looked at Ninian and slowly started to back up. "I'm sorry I wasted your time. Good-Bye Ninian." Before Ninian even had a chance to reply Rayne was gone.
Back with Lyn
Lyn ran out into the field, prepared for anything to happen……well almost anything. When Lyn stopped walking she noticed she had just run into……
……………
…
"Kent!? What are you doing out here all alone?" (A/N: HA! You all thought it was Eliwood didn't you! Well…HA HA!) The red armored knight looked up from his private practice with surprise. "Lady Lyndis! I'm sorry; I just wanted to get some more training in before our newest instructions. Is anything wrong milady? You look a bit red." Kent said referring to Lyn's now growing blush. "Um…uh….no Kent. I was just looking for Eliwood to ask him about going to Rayne's home. Uhh…have you seen him anywhere, Kent?" The knight in question shook his head and pointed deeper into the forest.
"He was training as well when I came. He said he didn't want to bother me and went in deeper to train on his own. Are you sure you're alright milady?" "Yes Kent. I'm sure. Thank You. I think you should head back to camp now…just to see if the army's decided on something." With that done Lyn walked past Kent, giving him a big smile before she walked deeper into the trees and disappeared from sight. The young lord did not notice the knight's growing blush luckily and he started to head back to camp like he was ordered.
Lyn rubbed her cheeks trying to rid herself of there red color. 'I can't believe what I've just done. Kent is a loyal knight to Caelin and I just blush when I run into him? Can this get anymore embarrassing?' Lyn thought to herself as she continued to walk forward. (A/N: Yes it can!) Lyn continued to mumble to herself unaware that she was about to bump into someone.
Lyn walked forward still not paying attention when she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and her head. She cried out in pain and fell backward onto the ground. The last thing she heard was a man's voice calling out her name.
With the rest of the army
"I believe it will be alright!" Kathryn stated as she looked toward the now almost fully assembled army. She had just announced her decision about going to Rayne's home. Hector had also agreed along with the rest of the army, save for Eliwood who was still off training. Rayne was just about to volunteer to go look for Lyn and Eliwood when her dragon senses picked up on something. She walked toward it and her eyes opened wide with what she saw. She was quiet when she moved up to the red-headed lord but her eyes were filled with worry.
"Eliwood! We've been looking for you! What on earth happened to Lyn? Was she attacked? Is she alright?" Rayne asked referring to the body of her unconscious friend who was being held by Eliwood. "She's alright. She took me for surprise when I was training and I…sort of attacked her by accident. She came out of nowhere. I swear I did not mean it." Eliwood spoke, his cheeks tainted pink. "It's alright but why don't we take her back to camp. We are leaving soon." Before he could reply she was talking again.
"We are going to my home to get my two swords, The Phoenix Blade (1) and the Death Blade (2). They were given to me by my parents. The whole army is going. Mostly because everyone is curious of where I have been living for the past few years. Look, everyone's getting ready to leave. Let's hurry!" Rayne then carefully pulled Eliwood (and Lyn) up towards the army where Florina immediately took hold of the Sacean lord.
Rayne explained that an accident had happened and Lyn was just 'resting' for now. The army was a little suspicious but Kathryn yelled at them all that getting Rayne's swords before the 'enemy' did was the number 1 priority and that Lyn was fine. After packing everything and making sure everyone was set, Kathryn gave out the order to follow Rayne who was sitting behind Farina, showing her where to go.
4 hours later…
Rayne called back to everyone that they would be there shortly. She explained to Farina that it would have been quicker if there were wither less people or some people moved faster.
Rayne was happy to go back home. It was really a sad place and at first Rayne hated it but now it was one of the best places in the world to her. She was so happy she told Farina to stop and jumped off her Pegasus (A/N: What was its name? Did it have a name?) landing smoothly on the ground. She was aware that some people were literally gawking at her; she had just jumped off a FLYING Pegasus from a VERY HIGH ways up and landed like she did it all the time which with her you never knew.
She started to walk forward and announced they would be there in a matter of minutes at this rate. Lyn had woken up an hour ago and Eliwood had begged for her forgiveness over and over again causing Lyn to blush like mad. It also enraged a certain nomad and cavalier. Lyn forgave him and asked Florina to fly next to Rayne the rest of the way which the shy Pegasus knight gladly agreed to.
Rayne was about to run to the top of the big hill and scream that she was almost home when an arrow headed straight for her. Being surprised and caught off guard Rayne jumped back as the arrow grazed her arm, leaving behind a deep cut. "Lady Rayne, are you hurt?" Sain called to her. "I'm fine but who…?" Before she could finish her sentence someone else did for her. "I did!"
The army looked up to see a tall woman standing at the top of the hill with a large army behind her. Rayne growled in anger and yelled out, "Who the hell are you and what the fuck do you want?" The strange woman laughed and answered back, "I am the General of this army but you may call me Ichigo. I am under the orders of my master and I am here to take the Phoenix Blade and the Death Blade and capture two pesky princesses. One of which I assume is you."
Rayne growled again and her eyes changed red. She went to grab her sais and yelled out, "You'll never get my swords! I'll rip you to shreds long before that happens." Ichigo laughed. She had long dark red hair that fell to her ankles. She wore a short red dress, black boots, black elbow length gloves and her eyes were an eerie yellow. She had a bow attached to her back and a dagger or two at her waist.
Ichigo then called to her army. "Get ready for a battle! Kill everything in sight except the princesses…master wants them alive and unharmed."
Wow that was longer than usual…7 almost 8 pages down….P.S I would like it if people would vote on some pairings… I could use the help…I think I'm keeping the Serra x Erk pairing though…P.S Eli x Lyn can NOT be changed! I know I'm a witch aren't I?
I hope everyone liked this chapter….I've been really busy and this took awhile but I was happy to write it!!!

Battle and the 2 Mystical Blades
"LYN NO!" Rayne cried as Lyn was struck down. She ran over to her friend and killed the wyvern knight that attacked Lyn. "Damn it! That bitch has MY stuff and my best friend is out cold!" Rayne saw that Eliwood was near-by. "ELIWOOD!" He turned and saw Lyn lying in a small pool of blood and rushed over.
"Watch her!" Was all Rayne said before she was off after Ichigo. Eliwood looked down at Lyn and held her close, putting her head in his lap. "Lyndis…Lyn. Please wake up and be alright."
Serra cried out in pain as she took the attack that was headed for Erk. He turned and his eyes widened. "Serra!" He cried as he rushed over to her side, "Are you alright? Why did you do something so stupid you annoying girl?" "Yes I am…and I did it because I care."
