Chapter 4
"Romeria what are you doing in there it shouldn't take this long to have a little chat with Shadow." said Lyre who was banging on the door real hard. "Just shut up and let me talk to him alright!" Romeria shouted scaring the crap out of Lyre. "There's nothing to talk about Lethe just brought back a bad memory that's all." Shadow said as Romeria turned to face him. "Anyway I told you the first time I feel fine it was just a small headache that's all." He continued to say a Romeria. "And I say you don't feel fine at all so just let the doctor have a look at you then we'll see if you're healthy or if you need bed-rest got that?" Romeria asked glaring at him. "Fine, but if I get a shot it's on your head." Shadow stated. "It won't come to that trust me." Romeria said turning from a glare to a heartwarming smile.
"So what's going on in there is he going to cooperate or do we have to hold him down again?" Ranulf asked as Romeria walked out the door. "He'll cooperate as long as he doesn't get any shots." Romeria explained closing her eyes. "Good then this'll be easy on all of us although it was funny to watch him struggle." Ike said grinning an evil grin. "Heh! it wasn't for me and Ranulf you try holding that kid down for a little bit." Lethe said. "Can we please just get this over with I would like to have a word with Shadow alone when this is over." Lyre saide opening the door. "Why would you want to talk with him as far as I'm concerned he's just a stupid beorc who couldn't give a rat's ass about us." Lethe said angrily. "You just met him like an hour ago so you can't judge he's actually a very nice guy once you get to know him better." Lyre responded. "Yeah and then once we're all friends he'll stab us in the back face it sis he's just like all the others." Lethe shouted. "You know i can hear you out there right? Let's just get this over with I'm started to fall asleep here." Shadow's voice called out. it wqas painfully obvious to Romeria that Lethe and Lyre hardly ever got along but that didn't stop Romeria from interupting the argument. "Guys come on can't you two get along you're sisters and sisters shouldn't fight." she said. this caught Lethe and lyre by surprise, a single beorc girl was actually stopping them. This act only infuriated Lethe as she soon started to verbally attack Romeria. "Where do you get off saying stuff like that!" lethe shouted causing Romeria to flinch. Everyone turned around when they heard the door behind them open to find Shadow standing and putting on his shirt and chainmail (yes he still had them off boys and girls). "If you guys are going to continue this arguement then im just going to find a nice quiet spot to train so whenever you get done come find me." Shadow said lifting his sheathed sword and walking off. everyone who was at the door looked on as the boy off acting as if nothing happened. "Uh... what just happened?" Ranulf asked confused. "We just got snubbed that's what happened!" Lethe exclaimed. "That kid really is something else huh Rhys?" Ike asked turning to the priest. "Yeah... strange, he walked off as if nothing happened I wonder if he truly is alright." Rhys wondered.
After several minutes of arguing Ike, Lethe, Lyre, Rhys, and Romeria decided to finally get on with Shado's examination so it was decided that Romeria and Lyre were to be the ones to go and look for the patient in question. "Are you sure he's somewhere around here Lyre?" Romeria asked. "Yeah, I'll stake my life on it so keep your eyes peeled." Lyre answered. The two girls decided to split up in order to make the search end quicker. It didn't take long however before Romeria located Shadow at a nearby river where large rocks practically covered the riverbed. Shadow was standing on the largest of the rocks swinging his sword through the air at an invisible target. His chainmail lay on the ground a couple of feet away from the edge of the river while Shadow himself continued to swing his blade, his shirt covered in sweat. 'Is he really that determined to fight even at the cost of his own health' Romeria thought. Just then Lyre appeared behind Romeria and tapped her shoulder. "Eep! don't scare me like that please." Romeria sadi clenching her heart. "Sorry, anyway looks like you found him now we just need to get him to come back with us quietly." Lyre said. "I don't think that'll be a problem like I said he'll cooperate as long as he doesn't get a shot." Romeria said. "Well then let's go." Lyre said cheerfully. As the two emerged from the bushes Shadow sheathed his blade and jumped off the rock he was perched on (so to speak). "Are you five done arguing?" Shadow asked bluntly. "Yes and we're ready for you in the infrimary.' Lyre answered. Shadow nodded and proceeded to walk back with Romeria and Lyre when he nearly forgot about his chainmail. He told them to wait while he went to go fetch and as he did Lyre caught a faint scent that was unfamiliar. "Hang on guys something's coming." She warned her two friends. Shadow stopped and looked around to see if he could find anything out of the ordinary but saw nothing but trees and bushes. "Are you sure someone or something is coming Lyre?" Shadow asked. Lyre only nodded and the three continued to scan their environment only to find that nothing was there. Shadow suspected a surprise attack or an ambush but stayed alert just in case. 10 seconds later Lyre and Shadow turned to find that Romeria was being held hostage by a cloaked figure. "Surrender the boy and this one lives." the robed man said holding a knife to Romeria's neck. Lyre and Shadow didn't respond at first but noticed that Romeria was slowly and unnoticeably started to pull out her book.
"Damn i guess we have no choice I'll go but only if you release Romeria." Shadow said trying to make a compromise. "Do you really think I'm stupid or something if you don't come with me then the girl dies." the man said inching the knife closer to Romeria's neck. Unbeknownst to the man as well as the other three that two more people were already waiting for the right moment to strike. "So what do you think, can we take him, or do we wait a little longer?" the first person asked. "Not yet I'll let you know when in the meantime it wouldn't kill you to be a little patient." the second person instructed. As the two waited Shadow had already started walking toward the robed man in order to save Romeria's life. Just as Shadow was few feet away the man smirked under his cloak, brought his knife up and attempted to bring it down on Romeria's chest but was thwarted when the two people who waited sprung out from their hiding spots and attacked. "Who the hell are you?" the robed man asked. "The names Boyd and I'm one of the Greil Mercenaries." the first man said. "And I'm Soren now if you'll just leave this country and never show yourself again you won't have to die." the second man said. "Like hell I'll leave if I don't return with that boy my master will kill me." the robed man stated. "Fine do what you wish just so you know we did warn you." Soren said opening a green tome. after a few seconds a large gust of wind struck at the robed man while boyd readied an axe that was crafted out of steel. Romeria, who was freed during Soren's wind magic fully brought out her yellow tome and began using her thunder magic. Shadow stood amazed at the level of skill Soren possessed for one so young. "Hey kid we could use some help here." Boyd said to Shadow. Shadow nodded and drew his blade and charged at the robed man. As Boyd brought down his axe, Shadow swung his sword at the man's stomach thereby making the killing blow a cross slice formation. Shadow resheathed his sword while Boyd placed his axe on his back, Romeria and Soren put away their books and Lyre stood over the corpse of the man getting herself familiar with his scent.
"So Kid let me ask you something; why was the guy after you in particular?" Boyd asked Shadow. "I really wish I knew but sadly i don't so therefore I can't answer that." Shadow said shrugging his shoulder. "Hey Shadow I think you may want to have a look at this." Lyre called still standing over the fresh corpse. Shadow walked ove to Lyre who then point to a small silvery metallic object attached to a gold chain. Shadow removed the object to get a closer look at it. Shadow was shocked to find that it was a medallion but not an ordinary medallion, this one held his family symbol, which was two dragon swirling around a pheonix who held an orb in its left talon. "This is my mother's medallion how in the hell did this guy get it?" Shadow asked. Romeria could tell that Shadow was getting angry but did nothing but look at him. "You're mother, so what are you saying that this man was invovled in your mother's murder?" Lyre asked. Shadow only nodded as he continued to stare at his mother's silver medallion.
