Hey this is Your Anonymous. I haven't figured out exactly how to upload new chapters, but I hope I'll figure out soon. Enjoy and review!

-sundress and lowered himself to her. Just as his tip penetrated her, a hoof came flying out and walloped him in the head, sending him flying across the clearing. A Pegasus reared into view, flailing appendages aiming for the bandit. Trumpets sounded in the distance. Taking once last look at Florina, the bandit spat, 'I won't ferget this girly. You'll pay!'

Florina swept up her Axereaver up just in time to save herself from impalement. Up close, she could see the imprint of the Pegasus hoof unhealed from many years before. "You see tha'" gritted the bandit, shoving all his strength into his axe. "'Tis my reminder to finish what I started." Suddenly Florina angled her Axereaver to the side and whipped up the other end to strike his on the head. With a sudden lunge she toppled him to the ground and sliced his neck, making his head loll uselessly to the side. The other bandits, upon seeing the death of one of their own, came rushing forward to kill with all thoughts of rape forgotten.

'I must be able to help somehow' fretted Ninian from her place against the tree. 'I could dance, but I gave Nils all of my artifacts. Maybe…' Looking up into the tree she was backed against, she saw bunches upon bunches of pinecones. 'They'll have to do' she thought grimly and hoisted herself into the tree.

Florina parried another swing from a bandit, wishing more than anything for a better location. Cornered into trees, her Pegasus couldn't help much and she wasn't used to fighting on the ground. Only two more bandits lay slain at her feet and she was begging to feel fatigue. It showed in her fighting with slower blocks and weak thrusts, often giving her numerous wounds from not blocking in time. Suddenly a pinecone whizzed past her head to whack a bandit in the face, leaving a bloody trail as it slid off his face. A dozen more followed into the ranks of the bandits, enticing screams of pain and rage as more followed. Taking advantage the bandits' temporary distraction Florina ran through the one nearest to her and whirled to behead another. With a cry of anger the bandits noticed her and attacked again, trying to ignore the pinecones. When one bandit chopped at her she brought up her Axereaver, but watched in horror as it crumbled in her hands.

Seeing his master's distress Florina's Pegasus charged to her, scattering any in his way. With trembling hands Florina took a Steel Lance from her satchel and turned to face the seven remaining bandits.

From her spot high up in the tree Ninian could see Eliwood and Hector trudging up from the river and for once she was glad to see them. She waved her arms and yelled, hoping to get their attention, but the two friends where too engrossed in conversation. All too aware of the desperate battle below, she scurried up higher and selected a large pinecone, wincing as it scratched her scars from other pinecones. Taking careful aim she threw it with all of her strength and a cry of "HEY, RETARDS!!!" Hector finally looked up and was rewarded with a pinecone in the face. Eliwood saw Ninian waving madly in a tree and correctly guessing she was in trouble raced toward the fray.

With the reinforcement of first Eliwood and then Hector the bandits soon lay dead on the forest floor. Ninian clambered down from the tree and rushed to Florina's side, gasping in shock at the state of Florina. She was completely covered in blood, most of it hers, and she was just saved from nudity from the armor hanging limply off her body. Her eyes were unfocused, slipping in and out of consciousness. Finally she collapsed onto her Pegasus and didn't get up.
