Me: Okay, I got bored rather quickly after I posted the 3rd chapter *mutters in background* damnit Lloyden…
Lloyd (From Tales of Symphonia): What'd I do?
Me: Everything wrong and why are you here? I haven't written your story yet! *boots Lloyd out of story*
Lloyd: Aww D:
Me: Alright, now that that's taken care of, now presenting Chapter 4, which will hopefully have some action in it? I own neither Shadow of the Colossus nor Skyrim, if Ihad… *maniacal laughter in the background*
A few weeks had pasted since Wander had arrived in the mysterious lands known as Skyrim, having nothing but the black blade that he had once used to slay the sixteen colossi that stood between him and resurrecting his dead love, Mono. The man who had found him, Tiberius, insisted that the teen stay with him and his granddaughter until the month of spring.
A slush of snow fell from a nearby tree with a splat, onto the moist ground below. Newly sprung grass began to poke through the snow cover landscape as a new energy surged through the forest. The birds sang harmoniously, a sign that spring was just around the corner for the once sleepy tundra of Skyrim.
Wander sat on a nearby tree stump, his hand gently caressing the tall black mare beside him. A pink bow that curved in an unusual manner was slung over his shoulder as the quiver of arrows rested on its side just below his waist, firmly clasped to the belt that held a variety of pouches. His blade was fitted onto his back, were it hung safely and within easy reach if he ever needed it.
Quietly, he sighed, before standing up and tugging on the reins of his companion, "Come on, Agro. We need to get home before it gets dark out"
The horse obediently followed his wishes, pulling away from the grass that it had been feeding on and standing next to her rider. Gracefully, the teen mounted the colossal mare and spurred her into a lazy walk, happy to have at least one familiar face in this strange new world. He remembered the morning about a week after he came to Tamerial and hearing the familiar whine of the horse he had thought died on his way to fight the final colossus, Melus. He was more relieved than shocked when Agro had trotted over to him and nuzzled him adoringly, that was, until she sneezed on him. He cringed from at the memory as it had taken days for him to get the scent of horse snot off of his clothes.
Looking up through the canopy of trees to the skies above, the teen felt at peace, and began reflecting back on the time he spent fighting the colossi.
Had it all really happen?
It almost seemed like a distant dream to him now, except it wasn't. He was in a completely different land far away from home and one question still bugged him.
What happened to Dormin?
Something in his guts told him that the god didn't simply vanish when he was taken into the light. No, there was a lot more to it than that. A small detail he couldn't place a finger on. Wander frowned, pondering on the weird feeling that there was more to the memory then what it let on.
He didn't notice the small cottage he had now been living in coming into view, until a voice called it him.
"Wander?" the rough voice belonged to none other than Tiberius.
The teen snapped his head in the direction of the man.
Seeing that he had Wander's attention, he continued, "I need you to fetch something for me. I know it's getting late but this is urgent, I need you to head to Dark Water Crossing, and quickly."
The auburnette frowned, clearly confused by the request.
Tiberius made a shooing gesture towards the horse and slayer, urging them to go, "Go, go! You need to hurry my boy, or else you'll be caught up in something I would rather you not be swept up in."
Sighing but, giving into the demand, Wander turned Agro away and spurred her into a full on gallop. A knot began to form in the pit of his stomach and he couldn't help but look about nervously.
This wasn't going to end well at all…
Me: Yep, no action yet. Fixing some quirks and such, now that I've re- read and looked at how I had Wander act. I figured that I would have him be quieter for the rest of his story, as he was in the game.
Wander: …
?: I think he'll be more in character that way, makes more sense.
Me: Oh right, I gotta start doing both of your stories next, uhuhu
Wander: …Them?
Me: Don't think you're going to be the only hero out there, laddie~ Anyways, Review would be kindly appreciated, pwease? ;-;
