I do not own fire emblem or any of its characters, but I do own this decent book.
One week, its been one week since I drove snake-face out of yllies. I have to admit, its fun being Lucina's Guardian, though it's a lot more work than I realized, yet nothing I can't handle. Dante wasn't to happy about it though, he kicked up a storm after he heard of my recent upgrade.
"And you just now tell me?! What the hell were you thinking?!" He yelled.
"Honestly! Why are you mad? This is a huge accomplishment for me!" I yelled.
After our argument, I strayed away from camp, and spent more valuable time with Lucina.
"Really?" Lucina said shocked. "Only because your my new guardian?"
"Yeah..." I muttered angered.
"You know as my guardian, you have to go everywhere with me..." She got too close into my personal space. "Everywhere..." She said with added mischief in her voice. Crap, crap crap! Why do I have to deal with this! Oh... yeah.. because I agreed to it.
"Yeah, I guess." I said slightly flushed. Why am I flushed you ask? Have you ever guarded a girl who could have your life with one word? Or who is making you willing to go with her anywhere? No, I thought not.
Apparently, three days ago, assassins gave themselves away, during the first attack we ever faced, ever since I took the pact to become her guardian. The assassins were weak enough that even Roy could take them alone. (He's the youngest and most inexperienced... right now) Though, there leading knight, a hero ranker with an unknown name, claiming to take her life. Whoever this so called hero was, he must be wise in tactical affairs. The way his soldiers were organized, the fight took twice as long as it should have. Plus, he must be stronger than those men, considering they all mentioned being trained by him.
Chrom entered the room, and instantly gave me the evil eye. "Too close kid." He snapped.
"Y-yes sir." I replied, stepping away.
He's been so on edge lately, ever since I was with Lucina... As her guardian I mean. I wonder why...
"I'm going to take a bath." Lucina said, getting herself up from her chair.
"Okay, that's good, I'll just be training over at the camp." I replied. I was hoping to ask Dante something anyway. It's time I became my past self, its time I became a Myrmidon again. That's my calling, my true way as a swordsman. Though after what happened with amatsu, I'd lost all confidence with fighting as a Myrmidon, but now, after all the experience I have, (wink wink), its finally time. I just have to get my hands on Dante's second seal, and turn back. Lucina nudged me, interrupting my train of thought.
"And you have to come with me." She said, a hint of mischief in her voice.
That one sentence just sent a javelin into my brain.
"WHAT?!" Both Chrom, and I yelled.
She gave me a funny smile. "Just keep your back turned, okay?" She went on, as if our complaints meant nothing.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT, THERE'S NOT A SINGLE CHANCE IN HELL THAT HE'LL EVEN COME CLOSE TO-" Chrom started.
"What would you prefer father?" Lucina muttered stubbornly. "My guard sitting behind me, with his back turned for ten minutes, or my head delivered in your mail next morning? I mean it's not like he hasn't seen me already!"
That silenced chrom. "Fine... But if I hear of one little incident..." His finger gestured in a decapitating fashion. I nodded hastily and headed out the door. I could hear chrom muttering to himself as I walked out. "Why didn't I say no... Why?"
I don't know chrom, why didn't you say no? I would have far less trouble than I do now. It's not Lucina, its just the training I have to put off to do the job. Oh the things I do for the good of the people.
We made our way to the stream where we first met, the hard way I may add, and as soon as we got there, I unsheathed my superior edge, and jabbed it into the same way I saw Chrom do it, turned my back, and sat down on the warm grass. The sun, glaring down my back, making me sweat ferociously. Why must I be here again? She's bathing fro crying out loud. Guard or not, this is just plain wrong.
"You know..." Lucina said behind me. "I don't know a single thing about you."
"you know, I really don't know who I am." I replied. Ever since I woke up, I haven't had a shred of information on myself. All except for the lowly scrap of information that Slade gave me.
Look around
That voice again, the voice that tried to drive me to kill chrom. Where is it coming from?
They'er here Robin...
What does it mean 'they'er here?'
They'er here for her Robin, they'er here for her...
Where?
Find out... they'er too close for comfort...
That last line sounded familiar. I focused, and heard a rustle in the bushes.
"Lucina! On your guar- AGH!" I yelled, before being pulled into a bush. The assailant pulled a knife to my neck, but before he could end me, I launched Arcthunder, unleashing a small lightning bolt, piercing his chest, and ending him. He fell to the ground, deader than dead, but before I could relax, another assailant had jumped in front of me, sword already drawn, along with a few others. There coming from the trees? What tactical genius! Yet, at least I know where they are!
The first assailant attacked me, sword already drawn. I skillfully dodged each strike, and sent a lightning bolt into his chest. As the dead assailant fell to his knees, other one jumped over the first assailant, and nicked my shoulder with a dagger, coming way to close. I gripped his hand, brought him close, and headbutted him, yet another technique I learned from the mighty Dante himself... Oh he would be laughing right now.
He fell to the floor, completely knocked out, as another swordsman went for me. I skillfully dodged his moves, letting him force me back, and gripped the sword I had in the ground. I brought it up the instant I got it in my hands, and slashed through the swordsman, killing him instantly. I stepped up, slightly winded, and didn't even bother turning around.
"Lucina! We gotta get out of her- OH DEAR GOD, I'M SORRY!
Later...
Wait don't leave me voice, Don't leave me! I was already dead the moment I decided to just barge in... why me... why gods why?
Sunset after that moment, I decided to come back, and say hi to everyone at camp.
"Hey Lucina, I'm gonna see you later, okay?" I said.
She gave me a dirty look. "Whatever... Later!"
"Hey its your fault you know." I muttered.
I saw a small smile as she entered the castle. Why would she be smiling after that indecent? I'm surprised I'm still alive. I trudged my way back to camp, and saw something I thought I'd never see. My camp... surrounded in flames.
"Dante...? Roy? Marth? Ike? Kai? Mila-Rose? ... GUYS NO!" I yelled. The one place I knew as a home... gone... how could this happen?
That's it, left you at quite a cliffhanger, didn't I, what happened to the camp? You'll fight next chapter...
