Fire ED-blem: The Twilight Army

By The Mauve Lantern

Support Conversations: Part I

Ed and Delilah(C level):

While Delilah and her companions were fighting against Tusk and his bandits, she noticed that after Ed was standing in one place, looking up into the sky.

"What are you doin', Ed?!" she screamed, "You're going to get attacked if you stand there and do nothing!"

He said nothing for a moment, then asked, "Delilah, what do you think that cloud looks like?"

"Eh? What does that cloud look like? Umm…nothing. Now quit-"

"I think it looks like a bird, don't you?"

She shut her eyes and asked, "A bird?"

"Or a rabbit; I can't decide."

Delilah tapped him with the butt of her dagger to get his attention. "Well, you'll have plenty of time to think about it in the fight. Come on!"

Before he ran back onto the battlefield, Ed took one last look into the sky and tapped his hand on his chin. "Yes, definitely an eagle."

"ED!"

"Coming!"

Eddward and Nazz (C level):

During the confrontation with Tusk, Eddward had joined forces with the archer, Nazz; together, the two of them tore through the bandits that were invading Delbrook. When there was a temporary lull in the battle, the young shaman had stopped to catch his breath, when Nazz came up to him.

"Don't tell me you're out of breath already!"

Eddward glanced up and wheezed. "I…don't …partake in…exercise…very much."

The blonde archer patted her ally upon the back and said, "You really need to work on that! I stick to a strict regiment, you know?"

"Really?"

"Yes! It really helps, to be in good shape!"

The boy nodded, and asked, "Nazz?"

"What is it, Eddward?"

"After this, i-if you were to travel with us, do you think that you could help me…exercise?"

Nazz giggled, and her face lit up in a warm smile. "Sure thing, Eddward!"

Eddy and Delilah:

In the fight against Tusk and his bandits, Eddy and Delilah had proven to be a dynamic fighting force, able to take down larger enemies together. After taking down a powerful enemy, Delilah asked her partner, "Say, Eddy?"

"What is it, lil' lady?"

"First, don't call me "lil' lady"; I'm the same age as you! And second, why did you call me Eliza earlier, when we left the restaurant?"

"I'll call you whatever I feel like, love," Eddy said, a jocular grin spread across his face. "I called you Eliza because you never give these people your real names."

"But why?"

"So that if the guards come after you, you can throw them off by saying you're not who they're looking for!"

Delilah pauses to think for a moment, and asks, "But won't they know your face and clothes?"

Eddy chuckles. "We didn't have the time to grab our assortment of disguises from Peach Creek, love; if we did, we could have robbed this town entirely!"

"You'll have to tell me more," she says to the boy, "Some time; right now, we have a fight to win!"

"Will do, love."

"STOP CALLING ME THAT!"

Ed and May:

As Delilah and her traveling company were fighting the bandits in Delbrook, the young pegasus knight May was struggling against the foes, mostly because they used axes. Once, when a bandit had caught her off-guard, she screamed, only for a red-headed boy to come to her aid.

"Thanks for saving me, Ed!" she says, a beaming smile on her face.

He wipes his brow and tells her, "No thanks are necessary, May; I'm a hero, and that's what we do!"

"Y'know, I never got to thank you for helping me that one time, back in my village."

"Think nothing of it!"

May rides over to Ed's side and says, "Still, I'd like to offer you my assistance some time, if you ever need it."

"Um, uh, th-that's n-n-n-not necessary…" and he runs off, leaving May behind.

"Ed! Oh, Ed! Huh, I wonder what scared him?"

Eddward and Eddy:

When the three boys named Ed had been fighting to rid Peach Creek of dire wolves, Eddward had lent a helping hand to his friend, Eddy.

"You really should try to be more careful, Eddy."

"Shut your mouth, hoodhead! I'll fight as much as I please!"

The shaman shook his head. "Honestly, between you and Ed, I don't know who is more over the line!'

"Well, at least Ed is doing something! All you do is pull out that book and say a few words!"

"I beg your pardon!" Eddward placed his hands on his hips. "Magic is extremely difficult; I've been practicing since I was little, and I still don't have it exactly right!"

Eddy scoffed, "Pssh, you and your excuses. Forget about it; let's just go help Ed and Delilah!"

"Fine! But don't think this is over for one moment, mister!"
