Garth here, i finally had a spark to continue this! :3
"THE CASTLE IS UNDER ATTACK!"
"READY THE ARROWS!"
"QUICK, QUICK!"
Edea wobbled to the window, the floor trembling under her feet. She saw the soldiers fighting against monsters, being lead by Lorand. The princess fell to the floor with a yelp, her knees failing her. Tears beginning to well up in her eyes, she sobbed. "If i only could do something... I'm useless..."
She tried to stand, but failed again. "Fuck! Fuck my life! Fuck this illness! Fuck the entire world!" she said. "I can't do anything... Palmyna will fall and will only be my fault... Why couldn't i be like the twins of Amdahl? WHY?!"
The floor suddently ollapsed and she fell, screaming at the top of her lungs. She landed badly, and felt the sound of bones breaking. Infinite pain coursing through her small form, Edea curled to a ball, crying.
It was then that she noticed a sword. If i can take my life... I would suffer no more... Just sweet oblivion... She crawled to it and looked at it. It was a greatsword much like her own, but with vines covering it. Just let it slip between your ribs Edea...
However, when the sword met her hand, it began to shine. The princess felt her body burning, but it only lasted a few seconds, as she saw her body being enveloped by a metal armor with a big pink skirt, vines covering her gauntlets. She got up uncertainly, and felt an unusual strength in her limbs. "I can lift the sword without difficulty... Can this be... The Lafdranya...?"
Edea swung her new weapon a few times. Then, she sighed. "Guess today was not my day to die. Now..." She looked out of the window. "To us two... Monsters."
She jumped out of the window, landing ten meters below. The soldiers gasped in surprise but she didn't care, rushing at the monsters with newfound strength. "Brave Burst! GREAT BASH!"
The Harpy she was aiming at was split in two, the Lafdranya glowing with power. "Yes... This was what i was aiming for... Power... Power so i can help those who i love... Come on, follow me!" she said at the soldiers. "FOLLOW THE WILL OF PALMYNA!"
Young princess! What happened?!" asked Lorand, slashing at a Lamia. "How can you fight like this?! I thought you were ill!"
"I was!" she replied, splitting a Goblin in two. "I was! But i don't know how, i grasped this sword and i... Changed..."
"The Lafdranya... Edea, is that you?" said a familiar voice. She turned around and saw a blond archer, his arrows piercing their target without fail. Lorand snarled. "It's PRINCESS Edea for you soldier!"
"You don't recognize me, Master Lorand?" he said, smiling. "Brave Burst! THUNDER ARROW!"
The Hobgoblin that was about to slash him was pierced in the head, dropping down like a rock. Loch walked up to the two, offering his hand. "Archer Loch... At your service, Master Lorand."
"LOCH!" shouted Edea, tackling him. "I missed you! I missed you so much!"
"Turned out i had a natural talent for the bow right?" he said, patting her back. "And now, show me yours for the blade!"
"Let's go!" ordered Lorand, charging at the monsters. "Princess, behind me! Loch, cover her! Augh!" He was got in the arm by the claw of a Harpy. Edea impaled it, shoving her master aside. "You stand behind me, Master. I'll take care of all of this!"
"Loch, here you are!" called a blue haired mage. "Who is this cutie? Wait, pink hairs?" He took a better look to Edea. "Wait, she is the PRINCESS? Loch, you hit the jackpot!"
"Who is this priest?" asked Lorand. "Do you know it, Sir Loch?"
The archer smiled at the compliment. "He is my friend. Now, charge!"
"Name is Dean. Honored to know you, Princess Edea!" said the priest. She nodded. "Dean? I'm sure we'll be good friends. Now... GREAT BASH!"
Edea finally manages to get over her illness Let's all cheer for her!
